at Buffalo this past summer, there
were many eminent men, among them
President Mckinley and in an adj
dress he gave due recognition to the
women, especially the Relief Corps
Yet it fell short OF the frank 'avowal
which would have done 80 much for
the cause of the ballot for women.
And in toast at the banquet Presl-
dent Mckinley spoke very eloquently
Of the "Nation and it's defenders"
but forgot one half Of the nation in
his talk; and at the camp fire" ne
afterwards said: "As a result OF that
great civil struggle, we have the
greatest government because we have
the freest government, and we have
the finest government because we
have an equal government, governed
equally by equal citizens everywhere
And it is the business Of the living,
it is the business Of the citizen, it is
the business of the men and the
women in every part OF our common
country to cultivate the highest citi-
zenahip, for upon the highest and
the best citizenship rests the highest
and the best destiny for our govern
