FRIDAY. 'FAPRIL li 1899.
WOMAN SUFFRAUE. ».
Hon. E. R. Emmerson, Premier of
New Brunswick, has given notice of
the following resolution which he will
move in the legislature, now in ses-
sion:-
Resolved, that in the opinion of this
House the time is now ripe for a law
providing that the rights of citizenship
shell not be denied or abridged on ac-
count of sex, but that a full franchise
shall be granted to the women ot this
province upon the same terms as to the
men.
Mr. Emmerson has Eong held and ‘
advocated the views expressed in the
‘above quoted resolution and has given
expression to them freely in the legis-
lature. Some years ago he divided
the last legislature on the question
and though his motion was defeated 1
the majority against it was small. At
that time Hon. Mr. Blair was Pre-
mier, and threw the weight of his y
great influence and powerful advocacy
against the innovation. Now Mr.
Emmerson is the most`iniiuentia.1 man
in the legislature, and it will be in-_
teresiing to note haw the newly
elected House, fresh from the people,
and under the changed conditions will 1
view this great question. H
The resolution of which the New `
_Brunswick Premier has given notice:
is not put forward as one emanating
from the government. In point of
fact the members of the cabinet are
divided in opinion in regard to thel
question and therefore all the mem-
bers will be entirely free to vote upon
it according to their personal judg-
ment, untrammeled by party ties. It
will be highly interesting to note the
fault of th. debate and the division'
__, The movement in favor of equal,
tnr-iugliti_ut_the_ world. i _Women have
been already fully enfrarichised in
land, on opposite sides of the globe.
Apparently no evil results have fol-
lowed, and no attempt has been made
to recall the voting power when once
s“°°°d~ -SWIG Of other <=9'1_11Pfi9°_
areadvancing-by 'slow 'and 'grrdualf
prdqgqoeo townjd the same goal, bo-
giuning with giving to women increas- _
 powers in school and municipal l
hdairs, as in Great Britain, the New
Eugiand States and in several pro-
vinces of Canada and Australia.
"_ A moderate view of the case would
seem to be"that the powers and re-
sponsibilities of women in our system t
of representative government may
properly and safely be extended when
and where the majority of women_
desire it-. The change is too great tol
be hastily or inc-.nsiderately made
Fairmiuded men will not be found
,unwilling to concede the Voting fran- advice which will put such women on the
_ ~- 
chise_ to women if t-he minority of the
women of the country show that they
the work and cares of legislation and
‘gm-crnnwnt, Equallv thev conceive
lable to thrust upon women a great
tresponsibility which they do not wish
" to assume. ,
l The movement in New Brunswick,
‘our next neighbor among the prov-
iinces. will naturally have a stimula-
; ting effect upon many minds in Prince
g Edward Island. It may be that
some gallant member cf our legislature
will see fit to bring up the subject
for discussion in a tentative way du-
_ring the coming session. The debate
,that would result would be of general
' interest, and it might afford some
cule to the present :state of feelin g
in this province on a question which
, has profoundly moved other and
larger communities. We may ieit
_ assured that some day not very far
in the future the proposal to en-
_franchise women will be a very vital
one in Prince Edward Island.
