Toiler Who Has Entered Into Nobly
Earned Rest.
One of the bravest, sweetest cham
pions of the woman cause that ever
drew breath went away from us when
Lucy Stone passed out of life. No wom-
an could have died in this generation
whose loss would have been more sorely
felt There was none who gave herself
more unreservedly, sacredly and modest
ly to the work she chose in her youth.
The first equal rights speech ever heard
was made by Lucy Stone, and it was an
inspiration TO me. was converted then
and there, and l have never wavered
from that day to this. The woman
movement is as much part of the his
tory of our country as the antislavery
movement, and in both of these Lucy
Stone bore noble part. The story of the
struggle of the women of America for
their legal, civil and social rights will
form one of the grandest chapters in the
record of human progress. 1t almost
brings tears to the eyes now to recall
how Lucy Stone, slender, gentle girl,
only strong in her righteousness, was
mobbed, Missed and howled at 40 years
ago, and her lie even endangered, for
the mere speaking out of ringing words
for freedom. 1 remember reading once
how some roughs removed a pane of
glass from tbs window behind the plat
form where she stood to speak and
turned stream of ice water down her
back in the 'iead of winter. Lucy Stone
simply drew her shawl around her and
went on sreaking. 1t makes one feel
deathly ashamed for ones countrymen to
recall that such things have been. Alice
Stone Blackwell and her father should
write full history Of this beloved, la.
mented lady, putting in all the incidents
of her life that they can find. Every
scrap of Lucy Stones life history will be
q precious legacy to the women that now
are and to the women who come after
her. Ii she had never accomplished any
thing else, the recital of how heroically
she worked to educate herself and how
against such odds as no woman need |
brave now, thanks to her and those like |
her, she at last succeeded-this Of itself |
would be an inspiration to ambitious |
girls. A little too soon she went out of |
life, even though she entered into sweet |
rest, for she did pot live to cast her full |
vote as a citizen. Yet who shall say she |
will not know Of and share in the tri- |
nmph when it does come?
DR.. Cyrus Edison, health officer of New
York, gives it as his opinion. that Ameri-
IAN women are deterioratiDg physically |
because of higher educatione Bosh!
A woman wants to abolish typewriter
girls because they flirt with their en-
ployers and make trouble in the family. |
Why not abolish the employ ers?
IL you were a woman whc did not be-
ieve in divorce and earned your living
by being janitor in an apartment house
and had husband who beas you, and if
you complained of him both you and the
husband would be turned out of the
house, and you would lose your situa-
ion, what would you do?

element, do all they can to make Okla
loma nice place to live in, and thus
swell the population so that this fine
territory can ask for statehood soon, and
hen Undue the legislature TO confer full
mirage on its women citizens, as Wy
,ming did.
New Zealand, where the women vote,
s 1 200 miles southeast o. Australia and
J, 500 miles southwest of South America.
It consists of three islands North island,
;he largest, Middle island and Stewart
STAND North island is $50 miles long.
The climate of New Zealand is glorious,
makes one feel as if there were no such
hing as pain or weakness In the world.
The soil produces abundsntly the crops
Of the temperate zone, and there are no
snakes there. Is not this good place in
which to live, move and have ones vote? |
