REVIEW OF THE WEEK

THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

UFFRAGISTS the whole country over are S indignant that President Wilson did not rise to the great opportunity before him and recommend in his message to Congress the support of the Woman Suffrage resolution nmow before Congress. In a State paper that urged the enfranchisement of the Igorrotes and the dog-eaters of the Philippines, Woodrow Wilson could find neither time, space, nor words for the plea of self-respecting, civilized women—mothers, wives, and daughters—that they be no longer classed with defectives and imbeciles. President Wilson has fallen short of a great opportunity. No other president has ever had such an opportunity as is before him at the present moment. Even yet it is not too late for him to speak a word which would hasten the enfranchisement of a large part of the human family.

CONGRESS CONVENES

The first regular session of the Sixty-third Congress convened at noon, Tuesday, December 2d. Both Houses adjourned to reconvene immediately in joint session to listen to the President's message. The political complexion of Congress has not changed since the special session. That special session occupied eight months in majestic indolence, and did nothing for Suffrage. This present session has the opportunity to do something for Suffrage—it certainly has the opportunity to pass the measure. This is a good time for you to begin to study your Congressman and his attitude on the amendment.

HEARING BEFORE THE RULES COM- MITTEE Wednesday, December 3d, was the first day of the hearing before the Rules Committee of the House on the question of creating a Committee on Woman Suffrage. Among the speakers were Dr. Shaw, Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, Miss Jane Addams, Mrs. Ida Husted Harper, and Representative John E. Raker, of California. On Thursday those opposed had their day, and on Friday those in favor appeared again.

NATIONAL CONVENTION

HE Forty-fifth Annual Convention of the National American Woman Suffrage Association opened Sunday afternoon, November 30th, with a mass-meeting at the Columbia Theater, which was packed with a large and representative audience. Dr. Shaw presided and Oliver P. Newman, president of the Board of Commissioners of the District of Columbia, welcomed the Convention on behalf of the city of Washington. Jane Addams, of Chicago; Senator Helen Ring Robinson, of Colorado; Margaret Hinchey, of New York; Rose Winslow, of New York, and Mary Anderson, of the executive board of the National Boot and Shoe Makers' Union, were the principal speakers. Elsewhere in this issue a detailed story of the Convention is printed.

MEN'S LEAGUE FOR WOMEN SUFFRAGE The District Men's League for Women Suffrage adopted a permanent organization and elected officers for the ensuing year at a meeting held in the Washington Public Library, Friday, November 28th. The following officers were elected: President, Dr. Harvey W. Wiley; vice-presidents, General Anson Mills and Gilson Gardner,; W. L. Stoddard, secretary and treasurer.
