Women's Congress.


Mrs. c. B. TurIey, Of the Woman'S
Suffrage association, was the first on
the programme OF the women's congress
yesterday morning. Her paper, "Some
Thoughts On Political Equality" was
strong exposition OF WOman'S right TO
the ballot. She insisted that men and
women together can make better laws,
than men alone. Mr.. A. Ueland, from
the mothers in council, discussed
Moral Development OF Children"
The essential idea OF her paper was that
the great element that determines eX-
lStence was environment. The child
imltates what he sees; therefore the
necessity of showing showing him moth
ing but the best. Mrs. w. w. Rich
read paper OIL salvation"

1.-The Proper Attitude of Christian
Temperance Women Toward the Scien-
tific Cures tor the Drink Habit" mean
ing the So-called ''bichloride of gold'

Mrs. Walkers paper shows the idea
of it:
"Granted that the terrible appetite
for liquor engendered by its use be-
comes stronger than the will power Of
the victim, until it becomes an actual
disease; granted, that the scientific
cures of the present day do eradicate
and remove the disease and create an
aversion for liquor; granted we are
justified in any diseased condition of the
body in using drugs which human skill
and research have placed within our
reach granted that sober man is bet
ter than one WHO'S drunken, how. then,
eau any question remain but that it is
the plain duty of every Christian to put
forth an effort to spread tidings OF SAL
vation from aheavy bondage"
