HOW A WOMAN SEES IT.
Miss Carrie V. Lynn OF Orient discussed
better citizenship from a woman's stand
point and gave one Of the brightest talks of
the conventions She said that in many
Of the questions Of affairs the women did
not count. but they had a big part to play in
the matter of making better citizens out of
their sons their fathers and their brothers.
Many opportunities came to the women to
encourage the men who were trying TO bring
about needed reforms in civic affairs and
they should take advantage Of their oppor-
tunities aud improve them. and greater
ones would offer themselves for their help
in solution. Social evils, political corrUp-
ton. misconduct in office and ofenses
against personal purity were matters against
which women should fight INCREASINGLY and
for their overcoming use their in
nuence with the men with whom
they were associated. The liquor habit, the
tobacco habit and many of the social evils
would not last long If the women OF the
nation would refuse their companionshp to
the men who practise these vices. Women
should at least make their opinions known
and ask more largely for what is right.
They should encourage their fathers and
the men with whom they associated to fur
ther activity in fearlcssly exposing all civic
wrong to its merited punishment. The
women should ask noble and virtuous COM
panions. They should frown on idleness.
viciousness and dudshness, and show the
men that character counted for more than
gold.
lion. Hale Johnson prohibition candidate
for vice president, was present, and was
called upon. He gave very interesting
address on the temperance question. and
was frank enough to say that he did not
expect the election to make any difference
to him, but he was glad to stand for such
an issue and to go down knowing that he
represented the wishes of the best people
of the nation.
