CARDINAL CALLS SUFFRAGISTS
ENEMIES 10 THEIR SEX
WASHINGTON. ?"I regard 'wo
man's rights' and tho new school of
female progress as the worst enemies
of the female sex," Cardinal Gibbons
declared in a message to the National j
Association Opposed to Woman 8uf ,
frage, which held Its first national '
convention here last week. The Car- !
dlnal's message read:
"The Insistence on a right of par
ticipating In active political life Is
undoubtedly calculated to rob woman
of her grace of character and give
her noting In return but masculine
boldness and effrontery. Any occupa
tion. however alluring In its specious
pretense, which draws woman's at
tention from her most exalted duties
of motherhood will result In detri
ment to the nation and the race.
"As far as I haye observed It ap
pears that woman suffrage to the ex
tent that it has been granted In this
eonntry has not changed tho reeult
of the olocioln. There ha* been a
larger vote, but the renulta hare been
the same art they would have bnen If
women had not voted.
"This In seems that our political
life haa not been benefitted or purl*
fled by the entrance of woman Into
the political arena, though the do
mestic life of those engaged in this
political work must have been neg
lected or at least impaired."
Children GreatMt Aw*?t
"The moat precious, undeveloped
sflsel'of any nation Is Its children. An
all-wise Ood, through the law of na
ture, has committed this precious 1
treasure In a special manner to the
mother. Women cannot vote Intelli
gently unless they give time to an In
telligent study of politics^, questions,
and all such time taken from the
houMiold will be Injurious to the fu
ture generation, without firing to
the present generation any appreci
