If women were in the
Government do you not think they would protect the economic
interests of the nation? They are the born and trained economists
of the world, and when you call them to your assistance you will
find an element that has not heretofore been felt with the weight
which it deserves.
As we walk through the Capitol we are struck with the significance
of the symbolism on every side; we view the adornments in the
beautiful room, and we find here everywhere emblematically woman's
figure. Here is woman representing even war, and there are women
representing grace and loveliness and the fullness of the harvest;
and, above all, they are extending their protecting arms over the
little children. Gentlemen, I leave you under this symbolism,
hoping that you will see in it the type of a coming day when we
shall have women and men united together in the national councils
in this great building.
REMARKS BY DR. CLEMENCE S. LOZIER.
Miss ANTHONY. I meant to have said, as I introduced Mrs. Blake,
that sitting on the sofa is Dr. Clemence S. Lozier, who declines
to speak, but I want her to stand up, because she represents New
York city.
Dr. LOZIER. I thank you, I am very happy to be here, but I am not
a fluent speaker. I feel in my heart that I know what justice
means; that I know what mercy means, and in all my rounds of duty
in my profession I am happy to extend not only food but shelter to
many poor ones.
