as went successfully through the lower

L. Anthony, May Wright Sewall, Alice

Though this is d quarter century con-
vention, it is by no means proper to in
fer that the movement in America had
its inception twenty-five years ago. 1t
was Mrs. Stanton, still a member, who,
in 1913, almost half century ago, as
sisted by Lucretia Mott, called the first
convention at Seneca Falls. The de-
mand for equal suffrage was as broad
then as it is now. In its purpose tho
movement has never grown. In its
! elaboration and application 1t has as
sumed splendid proportions.
The declaration of sentiments enunct-
ated at that first convention recited
among other grievances those growing
out of the legal disabilities OF women,
the injustice of taxa ton without repre-
sentation, lack Of higher educational
facilities and finally the resolution:
THAT it is the duty of the women Of
this country to secure to themselves
the sacred right to the elective fran
chise."
Two years later Susan r. Anthony
Joined the movement and the Quaker
girl of those early days put heart, soul
and mind into the movement. and much
of the work achieved must be credited
to her.
Forty years ago women were given
no representation in conventions where
political or industrial topics were dis
cussed. To-day nearly all the states
have some degree of suffrage. New
York and Minnesota have given women
the power to vote for county superin-
tendent of schools Illinois gfves them
vote on all school elections, includ
ing a vote for trustees of the state uni
versitv; Kansas allows them TO vote
at all city elections, and Wyoming
has given them full recognition, plac
ing them on a level with the male
voter Two of the four territories, Arr

women suffrage in school matters

Terocious Wolves in Russia.

In many of the southwestern districts
of Russia the wolves are this season
showing unusual tomerity in rafding
sheepfolds and attacking not only
horses and cattle, but stray wayfarors
along the highways and byways trav-
ersing or sllirting the forests. A few
days ago peasant on foot and sieve
maker driving single horse tarantsss
were towards nightfaii approaching
the village of Pianje, near Dubno, when
they were startled by the chase cry Of a
wolf pack in their rear. The peasant
fed and reached the village in safety.
The horse and tarantass, which had
been some little distance behind the
peasant, dashed into the village a few
minutes later, but without their owner.
The next morning the poor sieve
makers bones were found scattered
about the spot where he had been at
