that there was really no cause for it.

rights of woman. She is not woman
suffragist, and her friends think that
alone she has accomplished more than
the combined effort of the suffrage asso-
citation. Congress and Legislatures have
listened to her arguments, passing the
bills she advocated and placing on the
statute books laws which have given
married women equal rights with men
in control of children and property.
