December Bulletin. Americanization As War Service. National American Woman Suffrage Association
<p>Publication of the Americanization Committee of the NAWSA. Grace H. Bagley (Mrs. Frederick P. Bagley), Chairman.<br /><br />Excerpts: <br />p. 1 "SPEAKING ENGLISH IS THE FIRST STEP IN AMERICAN CITIZENSHIP AND THEREFORE THE PUBLIC SCHOOL IS THE NATION-WIDE MEDIUM FOR THE MAKING OF LOYAL AMERICAN CITIZENS OUT OF OUR ALIEN POPULATION."<br /><br />p.2 "PROVIDE FOR THE AMERICANIZATION OF THE IMMIGRANT WOMAN. Can the Americanization of our foreign population succeed without the cooperation of the mother? Past failure is due largely to the fact that no intelligent effort has been made to face the situation of the immigrant woman, who either has an infant in her arms or is expecting a baby..."<br /><br />"PATRIOTIC MEETINGS should be organized and conducted by suffragists in every foreign quarter in the United States. Music stereoptican picutres and speeches in foreign languages should be among the attractions. Learn the art of making these patriotic meetings so attractive that the crowds will have to be shut out instead of coaxed in."</p>
<p>p. 2-3 "AMERICANIZATION AND INDUSTRY. LABOR IS THE KEY TO SUCCESS in the war. We must not only feed, clothe and arm our own soldiers, sailors and civilians; we must also assist our allies. The task would be impossible without our foreign population."</p>

Address by Ethel Baskervill, Richmond Exchange for Woman's Work, January 8, 1932
Transcription: <br /><br />
<p>Woman’s Exchange January 8, 1932</p>
<p>The Richmond Exchange for Woman’s Work is the first woman’s shop established in Richmond which has been in continuous operation for almost fifty years. It was established in 1883 to assist ladies who, in 1883, felt their privacy would be violated and their pride tarnished if the public knew they were forced to work for money. Now we know that what a woman can do is her greatest ornament and that she always consults her dignity by doing it.</p>
<p>Now we have meetings where Consignors and Board Members discuss every phase of our mutual business.</p>
<p>There are among the consignors some of your best friends and mine.</p>
<p>They are from the best levels of our citizenship – much respected and self respecting women.</p>
<p>Without exception they are women who cannot go out into active business. Most of them have children or invalids at home who cannot do without them, or perhaps their husbands have had bad luck and cannot make ends meet. They show a notable gallantry by throwing their strength into helping their family to be self supporting upstanding citizens.</p>
<p>The Exchange is not a charity, - it is a philanthropy.</p>
<p>We simply give women a chance to help themselves.</p>
<p>As a shop we are obliged to meet tremendous and increasing competition.</p>
<p>We try to meet it by defeating it.</p>
<p>We try to give honest value, courteous and efficient service and the very best quality in town.</p>
<p>In our foods we tolerate no substitute for the best materials.</p>
<ol>
<li>2</li>
</ol>
<p>We have lately put on a second delivery and we send to Westhampton and to Ginter Park.</p>
<p>We are constantly trying to introduce novelties in all our departments.</p>
<p>We have many services which the public does not always realize.</p>
<p>We make aspics and desert to order.</p>
<p>We mend fine bead bags and wash and darn delicate laces and old lace curtains.</p>
<p>We restore antique, painted trays.</p>
<p>We print stationery, --just like you get from Peru, Indiana, at the same price, - and more promptly.</p>
<p>We take for sale some young woman’s treasured bit of glory, that must be sacrificed because her husband has lost his job, or some frail old lady’s paisley shawl or piece of family silver.</p>
<p>The Superintendent gives these facts about some of our present consignors</p>
<p>A-says that through her sales she has been able to keep her two boys at school.</p>
<p>B-says that her sales of cake and fancy articles enabled her to have her daughter taught the violin which she is now teaching to others.</p>
<p>C-says her sales have made it possible for her to take care of an invalid mother and stay at home with her.</p>
<p>D-says her sales have given her the means to help to keep her sister at the Blue Ridge Sanitarium.</p>
<p>E-could not hold her home together without the Exchange.</p>
<p>We have over two hundred consignors.</p>
<p>It is not an easy job that we do.</p>
<p>We have only a thirty thousand dollar endowment invested in mortgage bonds.</p>
<p>p.3</p>
<p>The consignors pay us twenty per cent commission, -which is only about two-thirds of what it costs any shop to do business.</p>
<p>We have a small amount from subscriptions and consignors membership tickets.</p>
<p>One of our greatest difficulties has been to keep our promise to pay the consignor on the first pay day after her article is sold.</p>
<p>This is difficult because some of our patrons are careless about paying their bills. They do not realize that we have no working capital and that their delay is a very serious embarrassment for us, and has often sent us to borrow from the bank where we have to pay interest.</p>
<p>We rarely beg, but we do have a constant struggle to make ends meet.</p>
<p>If we ever have to shut up our business it will throw about two hundred women out of employment.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: line-through;">We do not ask pity,</span> - we <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">only</span> ask that you will try our shop.</p>
<p>Give us the chance we are trying to give our consignors.</p>
<p>Ethel Baskervill</p>

Oration: True Americanism
Pamphlet of speech delivered by Louis Brandeis at <a href="https://www.digitalcommonwealth.org/search/commonwealth:0p096x14k" target="_blank" rel="noopener" title="Postcard of Fanueil Hall">Fanueil Hall, Boston</a> on July 5, 1915 in which he addresses the ideals and traditions he views as distinctly "American," such as liberty, democracy, social justice and a standard of living that includes fair working conditions, decent wages, education and financial independence. Brandeis names "inclusive brotherhood" - the welcoming of immigrants, racial equality and diversity - as the feature in these ideals that is "peculiarly American" and has led to America's prosperity. He concludes by suggesting the principles of Americanism could bring about lasting peace abroad.<br /><br />Pamphlet signed by Louis Brandeis on front cover.<br /><br />Along with the text of Brandeis' oration, the pamphlet includes a photograph of Rev. Charles W. Lyons, S. J., President of Boston College, Chaplain of the Day. An appendix, "A List of Boston Municipal Orators" by C. W. Ernst, lists Boston orators appointed by the Municipal Authorities beginning in 1771. <br /><br />Excerpts: <br /><br />p. 3 "The United States has grown great. The immigrants and their immediate descendants have proved themselves as loyal as any citizens of the country. Liberty has knit us closely together as Americans." <br /><br />p. 4 "But the adoption of our language, manners and customs is only a small part of the process. To become Americanized the change wrought must be fundamental." <br /><br />p. 5 "But let us not forget that many a poor immigrant comes to us from distant lands, ignorant of our language, strange in tattered clothes and with jarring manners, who is already truly American in this important sense; who has long shared our ideals and who, oppressed and persecuted abroad, has yearned for our land of liberty and for the opportunity of aiding in the realization of its aims." <br /><br />p.9 "America...has always declared herself for equality of nationalities as well as for equality of individuals. It recognizes racial equality as an essential of full human liberty and true brotherhood, and that racial equality is the complement of democracy."

Editorial cartoon by J. F. Bronstrup shows a saloon owner smoking a cigar outside his recently converted bar. The establishment window now advertises "Jake's Place. Soft Drinks.

Letter from John M. Brooks, NAACP Registration Director to voter registration activists, Mississippi, July 7, 1958
Letter of encouragement from John M. Brooks, NAACP Registration Director following a meeting he attended in Mississippi. <br /><br />Text -- <br />Dear Friend: <br /><br />My meeting with you in Mississippi was an inspiration to me. It proved my belief that, "if people are given a clear picture of the voting situation, they will cooperate". <br /><br />The people in Meridian and Jackson are well on their way toward increasing their voting strength and becoming first-class citizens. Your future activities will tell what Y O U are going to do in your city. Talk to your neighbors and invite them to join your group. A large attendance will be an inspiration to all concerned. <br /><br />It is my sincere hope that your organization will be a guiding light for other communities all over Mississippi to follow. IT CAN BE DONE would be the wrong words to us, IT WILL BE DONE because of Y O U.<br /><br />Sincerely yours, <br />John M. Brooks<br />NAACP Registration Director

Constitutionality of the Voting Rights Act of 1965; a response to the Attorney General of the United States...
This booklet was distributed by the Virginia Commission on Constitutional Government (VCCG) in opposition to the Voting Rights Act of 1965. The Commission began in 1958 and existed until the late 1960s. <br /><br />Led by David J. Mays, a prominent lawyer and advisor to Virginia’s commission on the response to the <em>Brown v. Board of Education</em> decision, it advocated nationally for states’ rights and conservatism, and eventually distributed over 2 million published pamphlets, brochures and speeches. <em>The Constitutionality of the Voting Rights Act of 1965</em> argues against the Voting Rights Act. Robert Y. Button (Virginia’s Attorney General at the time) made a typical VCCG argument in stating that the Act “attempted to erode the basic concepts of constitutional government in which the individual States are acknowledged to be sovereign” and is “patently unconstitutional.” <br /><br />Excerpts: <br /><br />pp. 8-9 "the Supreme Court of the United States has repeatedly declared that a State is free to conduct its elections and limit its electorate as it may deem wise, except as its actions may be affected by the prohibitions of the Federal Constitution, and that the power of Congress to legistlate at all the subject of racial discrimination in voting rests upon the Fifteenth Amendment and extends only to the prevention by appropriate legistlation of the discriminatiion forbidden by that Amendment..."<br /><br />p. 14 "I do believe, however, -- as Mr. Justice Harlan made clear...that the Framers of the Constitution:<br /><br />'staked their faith that liberty would proper in the new Nation not primarily upon declarations of individual rights <em>but upon the kind of government the Union was to have. </em>And they determined that in <em>a government of divided powers</em> lay the best promise for realizing the free society it was their object to achieve.' (Italics supplied [by Button]. <br /><br />One aspect of this governmental edifice which the Framers sought to erect, and which H. R. 6400 would manifestly subvert, was the distribution of power between the Nation and the States, each supreme within its sphere, thus forming an indestructible Union of indestructible States." <br /><br /><a href="https://images.socialwelfare.library.vcu.edu/items/browse?tags=Virginia+Commission+on+Constitutional+Government" target="_blank" rel="noopener" title="Other publications by the VCCG">Other VCCG publications</a> in the Image Portal

Letter to H. D. Dillard from Martin L. Calhoun, Alabama Male Association Opposed to Woman's Suffrage [typed letter, signed]
Letter from Martin L. Calhoun, Secretary Treasurer of the Alabama Male Association Opposed to Woman's Suffrage dated 15 August 1919. <br /><br />The letter was sent to the Hon. H. D. Dillard (of Franklin County, Va.), General Assembly, Richmond, Va. <br /><br />Calhoun is opposed to the Fifteenth Amendment (which prohibits the federal government and each state from denying a citizen the right to vote based on that citizen's "race, color, or previous condition of servitude") and the ratification of the proposed "Anthony Amendment" (which would become the Nineteenth Amendment). The letter associates woman suffrage, African American suffrage, and socialism. <br /><br /><br />The organization's platform is printed on this letterhead near the top of the page. <br /><br />"Platform:--The Alabama Male Association Opposed to Woman's Suffrage--<br />Stands for HOME and NATIONAL DEFENSE aggainst Woman's Suffrage, Feminismand Socialism. For MAN-POWER in Government, believing that Democracy must be STRONG to be SAFE. For the PRESERVATION of the established foundations of the American Republic as a Model for the World. For the RECOGNITION and ENFORCEMENT of the INHERENT RIGHT of EACH STATE to control the question of Woman's Suffrage for ITSELF. For EFFICIENCY and PROGRESS without Waste and Duplication in Government. For the CONSERVATION of the BEST WOMANHOOD of all conditions and stations in life, along NON-PARTISAN lines, so that the interests of Womanhood, Childhood and Civilization may be advanced FREE from the strife and division of politics, factions and parties. For the retention of the BEST IDEALS of the past, adapted to the advantages and opportunities given women under modern conditions, so that the FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES of Morality, of Patriotism and of World Progress may be more firmly established in the present and future generations."<br /><br />Excerpt of letter text:<br />"Susan B. Anthony was instrumental in securing the Fifteenth Article to the Federal Constitution, the adoption of which has always stood as a blot on the escutchen of our Country. Her purpose and intent was to further humiliate and oppress the then down trodden South. This in itself should condemn her namesake in the heart of every true Southerner. <br /><br />We are calling upon all the Southern States to REJECT [handwritten in margin "(it now)"] her namesake and if we can get the twelve Southern States to the two which have rejected - Georgia and Alabama - we can bury Old Susan where she belongs. <br /><br />If we, of the South, surrender our control of suffrage to the Federal Government we should not complain of the Fifteenth Amendment or what may follow under the adoption of the Anthony Amendment, for we would be traitors to that grand martyr of your State- Robert E. Lee and we are not worthy of our sires."

Report, Segregation in the Field of Public and Private Law [excerpt]
This is the only known copy of the legal analysis that was used to justify the desegregation of Tulane University. <br /><br />In 1959, Joseph M. Jones, president of the Tulane Board of Administrators, approached a Tulane law student, David Campbell, and asked him to research all aspects of desegregation as they applied to higher education. Campbell delivered his report on September 4, 1959. <br /><br />The sixty-page report covered a wide swath of research into desegregation law, including areas to which it applied (jury cases, housing, the right to vote, restrictive covenants, labor unions, etc.), the Fourteenth Amendment, whether Tulane University was a private or public corporation, and laws and cases pertaining to Tulane. Campbell went on to graduate first in his class from Tulane Law School and earn a doctorate in law from Oxford University.<br /><br />Read the entire report through the <a href="https://digitallibrary.tulane.edu/islandora/object/tulane%3A83108" target="_blank" rel="noopener" title="Report, Segregation in the Field of Public and Private Law">Tulane University Digital Library</a>.

Mammy Yokum and the Great Dogpatch Mystery
This comic book reprints a fable about prejudice and racial harmony by Al Capp. The story first appeared in Capp's <em>L'il Abner</em> comic strip. The comic book, printed and distributed by the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith, tells a fable about prejudice and racial harmony. <br /><br />When a family with square eyes moves into Dogpatch, the round-eyed residents form a mob to drive the newcomers away. When one of the square-eyed children is hurt, Mammy Yokum discovers that what she has in common with the new folks is more important than their differences. She stops the mob and helps her neighbors get to know the new family.<br /><br />Mammy Yokum declares, "We is all square shooters, so we gotta give them folks wif th' square eyes a square deal!! Th' l'il diff'runces between folks shouldn't hide th' big things thass th' same 'bout all of us!!"<br /><br /><br />The foreward to this publication was written by Henry Edward Schultz, National Chairman, Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith. <br />The postscript was written by American author, Herman Wouk.

The Home Defense: War Messages to The American People
This booklet by Carrie Chapman Catt likens suffrage to patriotism. According to Catt, the United States "is engaged in two wars, one with an enemy in Europe and one with an enemy at home. Many an American family is left behind without a voter to represent it. Many a voter will never return and will leave no one behind to protect that which was his at the polls...The remedy and the defense is the immediate enfranchisement of women by the shortest process." <br /><br />"Women of American birth and spirit have been humiliated and distressed as few men understand by the fact that men of American birth and understanding have not arisen in their might to protest against such foreign invasion of American politics and the consequent hindrance of the normal progress of representative government - the ideal to which our country is dedicated above all others!"

A School of Education For Citizenship
This pamphlet written by Carrier Chapman Catt, Director of the National American Woman Suffrage Association, is advertising for a school of education for citizenship in Chicago. As described by Catt, "the aim of the school is to train women, already equipped with competent knowledge of Civil Government and Political Science, to teach new voters the ideals of American Citizenship, the processes of registering and casting a vote, the methods of making nominations and platforms, the nature of political parties, and the best ways of using a vote to get what they want, and to effect the general welfare of our people." The proposed educational program took place in Chicago's Auditorium Recital Hall from Thursday, February 19th - Wednesday[sic], February 26th under the auspices of the National American Woman Suffrage Association.

War Aims: War Messages to The American People
"War Aims: War Messages to The American People" was written by Carrie Chapman Catt and provides a critical analysis of the United States' failure to give women the right to vote while other countries have far surpassed America in this regard. <br /><br />"Give to the world the final pledge of sincerity in American war aims. Give women of this land the honor other nations have bestowed upon theirs. Make democracy triumphant at home that the Republic may war upon its treacherous enemy autocracy without a spot on the national escutcheon. Do it now. <strong>Support the Federal Suffrage Amendment!</strong>"<br /><br />This booklet concludes with a poem by Robert Burns, written November 1792:<br /><br />"While Europe's eye is fixed on mighty things<br />The fate of empires and the fall of kings;<br />While quacks of state much each produce his plan,<br />And Even children lisp the Rights of man;<br />Amid this mighty fuss just let me mention,<br />The Rights of Women merit some attention."

Five Dollars Will Make the Dream Come True [editorial cartoon by Oscar Cesare]
Editorial cartoon by Oscar Cesare originally published in the New York <em>Sun.</em> Republished here in <em>Cartoons Magazine</em>, vol. 4, no. 3 (September 1913), p. 271. <br /><br />A poor mother kneels beside her sleeping child. She dreams of the "Mother's Home at Sea Breeze." Caption: "Five Dollars Will Make the Dream Come True."<br /><br />Sea Breeze Home, located at Surf Avenue and Twenty-ninth St., Coney Island, was a summer convalescent home for poor mothers and children who had contracted tuberculosis in the tenement neighborhoods of New York City. The institution was owned by the city. <br /><br />Many people were involved in the creation and expansion of the Sea Breeze Home and the Sea Breeze Hospital. They included Jacob Riis, Theodore Roosevelt, John D. Rockefeller, John Seely Ward, and the Association for Improving of the Condition of the Poor.
Cesare, Oscar Edward
