CHICAGO, Jan. S.-Eugene V. Debi
and the other officers and directors Of
the American Railway Union went 10
the Cook county Jail to day to begin
serving the sentence recently imposed
on them for contempt of court. There
was no formal procedure. During the
day the men dropped in one by one
and surrendered themselves to the
marshal. The appeal TO the supreme
court will be presented the latter part of
this week, being nowin course of prep
aration. The chances are the prisoners
will be obliged to remain in jail for at
least two weeks before the supreme
court can be heard from. Unless the
decision at that time is favorable they
will have to serve out their terms.

unless that be done, Great Britain will

Well, let her do so. If the canal will

other nation that will bear the expense
of its construction.

The LABOR party in Minnesota has
declared against the reelection of Sen,
ator Washburn, and the cotton factors
OF New Orleans declare that dealing in
futures is not detrimental to the pro-
Queer. And yet Mr.. Washburn has led
the movement to prevent dealing in
futures, for the assigned reason that
such dealing is detrimental to all sorts
of labor, mechanical as well as agricul-
tural. Possibly Mr. Washburn may
not hereafter be such friend of the
bill to prevent farmer from selling
his crop when it pleases him to do so,
as he has been before.

The GAzETTE.-The ALEXANDRIA
GAzETEE entered upon the 96th year
of its existence on the first day of the
year. Ninety-six, is, as the Gazette says,
a good old age. 1t is something to be
proud of. But this is not all that the
GAZETTE has to feel elated over. It is
one of our newsiest exchanges. 1t is
held 10 such high esteem as q dissent
mater of news that we are al
most led to believe that there are lots
aud lots of people in this end of the
State who would go off and commit
suicide should it perchance cease to
make its appearance regularly.-Ma-
nassos Gazette.
ONE WOULD hardly judge from its
srrightliness that the ALEXANDRIA
GAZETTE had reached the ripe old age
of ninety-six, yet such is the case of our
venerable contemporary. There is no
moss on its back. however, and in vi
vacity, reliability and get up it equals
the youngest of US all, and still contin-
ues to be one of the very best papers
published anywhere in this country.

WOMAN'S BEST FRIEND.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Her
Great Life Work.
The Famous Advocate of Female Suffrage
and Equal Rights Now Eighty Years
of Age-Some Reforms She Has
Accomplished.
Written for This Paper.

On November 12, 1915, was born to
Judge Daniel Cady and Margaret Liv-
ingston Cady, at Johnstown, n. Y,
daughter destined to become famous
all over the world as a friend of the
oppressed, crusader against legal in
Justice to women, a leader among true
reforlners, and the equal III wit, elo-
quence, learning and real statesman
ship of the foremost men Of America.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton, the 6Oth
anniversary of whose birth is about to
be celebrated, was a child of marked
intellectual ability, and had the bene-
fits of a thorough education. Her at
tention was early called to the marked
differences made by society between
the training of boys and girls, mani
festly to the detriment of her own sex,
and she was quick to perceive that the
laws of the land were i'll direct conflict
with the natural rights Of women. Be
ing in the habit as child of spending
much time in the law Office of her fu
ther, she there heard discussions on the
injustice of those laws, and in her child
ish innocence she wished to cut out of
the law books the obnoxious statutes,
thinking that this would abolish the
legal wrongs.
One of her first disappointments was
the refusal of Union college to admit
The Bossier banner. [volume] (Bellevue, Bossier Parish, La.) 1859-1952, 1895-12-26

her to it's courses because she was q
woman, and this led her to think more
seriously of the injustice put upon
women by custom and prejudice. TAX
ing up the study Of law she became
thoroughly conversant with that sub
ject, especially with the laws relating
to women; knowledge that has been of
the greatest usefulness to her in her
chosen work. Soon after her marriage
in 1910 to Heary Brewster Stanton, the
anti-sIayery orator, journalist and au-
thor, she went to London as a delegate
to the antl-sIayery convention.
Because she was woman she was
refused a seat in the convention; but
there she met Lucretia Mott, the fore
most female character in American
history. This chance acquaintance
ship pointed out to Mrs. Stanton her
own field of work into which She entered
with all the zeal of an enthusiast. The
American women determined that
when they returned to America they
would have a Woman's convention, but
this was not held until 1919, at Seneca
Falls, \. Y, where Mr.. and Mrs. Stanton
were then living. Mrs. Stanton was the
chief agent in calling the convention,
and wrote the resolutions and declara-
ton of the aims of the convention. One
of the resolutions was the first decia-
ration in favor of woman suffrage, and
read as follows:
Resolved. That it is the duty OF the women
OF this country to secure to themselves their
sacred right to the elective franchise.
Old Judge Cady thought his distin-
guished daughter must have lost her
mind when he read this resolution
went to see her, and tried to reason her
| out of her position, but without sue
cess, for she was made of as stern stuff
as he when it came to maintaining W hat
She believed to be right. In this mat
| ter she was in advance of some OF the
most noted refOrmers of her own sex,
notably Lucretia Mott, who tried to
| diSSuude Mrs. Stanton from pressing
| the franchise clause in the Seneca Falls
| convention, but five years later, at the
| Cleveland convention, proposed to have
| it adopted in honor of Mrs. Stanton. 1ler
| hard and earnest work as crusader

married women may be said to have be

an orator and jurist. About this time
also she began her advocacy Of laws

the part of the husband, and addressed
the New York Legislature on that sub
