' -; ' 1 Francis D, Winston. wumau. il IS noi mat Woman IS In f prior tn mart Jhf -lt la' iYn wnmon 4 different from man; that in the distribution of powers of capacities, of quali ties, our Maker has created man adapted to the performance of certain tunc1 vtions in the economy of nature and society, -and' woman adapted to the performance of other-functions. ; . j "Woman rules today by .the sweet and noble influences of her cnaracter. Put woman into. the arena of conflict and she abandons these great weapons which control the. world,and she takes into her hands, feeble and' nerveless 1 for; strife, weapons with which she Is. unfamiliar and j which she Is unable to wield.1 Woman: in strife becomes hard, harsh, unlovable, repulsive; - as far 'removed from that gentle creature to whom we all owe allegiance and to rwhom we confess submission, as the heaven is removed, from the earth. : "The whole .science, of government Is the -science of protecting life and ; liberty . and the pursuit of happiness.- In the divine distribution of powers, the duty and the right, of protection rests i with the male. It is so throughout nature. It is so "with, men, - and I, for one,- will : never ?conBent to part with the divine right of protecting my wife my: daughter, the women whom I love, u and the women whom I respect, exercising' the birthright of man, and place that high duty m the . weak and neryeless hands of those designed by God to be protected rather, than to engage in the stern warfare of government.4 . In :my judgment, this .whole movement arises from a false conception of the duty and of the right of , both men and "women.; . T---- "The, time will .never come when 'the J line of demarcation between, the ' functions of the two exes will be broken down- I believe it to be false phi losophy; I believe that it is an attempt to turn backward upon the line, of social development andthat if the step ever be taken, We go centuries back - ward on the march towards a higher, nobler and purer civilization; which must be found not in the confusion but in the higher -differentiation of "the sexes.'
