peafe or Plato there were enough to be
| admired.
hArs. Hamilton of Saco responded to the
question, what will woman's vote do
eVhlcaily? Mrs. Hamilton spoke in her
characteristic way and made y very
interesting plea for equal suffrage for
women
hev. Louis Malvern, the pastor of the
plymouth church. made an honest con-
iession OF doubt as to his position on the
question, felt that there must be an ex-
educational qualification, but his great
rear was of the ignorant vote and domes-
tic infelicity.
MISS Blackwell spoke for what women's
vote would do in the municipality. She
SAID that perhaps the best way to answer
bhat question was to see what had been
accomplished where women had had the
suffrage granted them. In Colorado the
result has been that women have begun
to study more solid subjects, and second
~, that women were treated with greater
respect, on account of the power of their
vote. So far there has been no decrease
perceptible in the state where equal
suffrage obtains, in mems chiyalry to
women, and there seems to be no fear
that there ever will be. One point which
Miss Blackwell especially emphasized
was, that woman's influence in politics
would always be for the good men. In
our country, it is men we want, not
measures, and woman's influence will al
ways be for the moral side of the ques-
ton.
As to the question of domestic felicity
the testimony of the men and women in
Colorado seems to refute that. In con-
Guiding, Miss Blackwell said that there
was one set of women who made her very
indignant, those who were SO lukewarm,
that they were not willing to take time
to help. though in their hearts believing
in equal suffrage.
Mrs. Helen Coffin Beedy spoke word
for the influence of women in the school.
The meeting closed with the singing of
American and the benediction by Mr.
Purdy.

friends are many young people who de-
light in calling upon her and listening
to her stories of long ago. Her memory
is remarkable, her wit as keen as it was
in the days of her youth while she is al
ways hard at work trying to make life
easier and happier for some who have
need of sympathy and help. The happy
manners the CHEEKY smiles and pleasant
words of Mrs. Addition have done much
to alleviate the suffering of the poor and
sick, and it may truthfully be said that
her pathway through life has been
brightly Illuminated by the sunshine
of her kindly heart.
Mrs. addition was born Amy W. Kinds
of LiYermore, then in the district of
Maine, county of Oxford, in the year
1904. Her father, Ebenezer Kinds, was
one of the first settlers in Livermore, and
was tbs father of 10 children. Mrs. Ad.
diton was the fourth child and was mar
ried to Joseph Addition in 1899. She has
lived in Portland for 45 years.
Mr. Addition died in 1859.
Despite her age, Mrs. Addition lives
alone, does her own work and is possessed
today of all her faculties. She has made
this year two sofa pillows. seven patch
work quilts, which she has given to the
poor, ID rugs, 27 garments and 40 pieces
OF embroidery. Besides all Of this she
has ridden over 1000 miles in the cars,
and passedsa great deal of time in visit

educational opportunities for women
and of the positions they are taking in
the business, scientific and legal fields of
work, owing to these opportunities. In
Lincoln, Neb., the municipal government
is composed entirely of women, and is
probably the only one in the world.
Many people say that one of the obJec-
tions to women's voting is the fact of
their being SO emotional, and in this con-
nection Mrs. Bailey described scene in
an Illinois legislature which proved that
even some men may be emotional Mrs.
Bailey dwelt upon the Indifference of
most women in regard to the suffrage,
and said that in almost every case
where petition have been taken
to legislature, the petitioners have
almost always outnulnbered the remon-
not expressed themselves at all.
The case of Wyoming and the success of
the suffrage there, was dwelt upon with
pleasure, for the results that women in
politics have brought about there.
In closing. Mrs. Bailey said she hoped
do more aggressive work for the increase
of inter est in suffrage and also that it
might be possible to start paper for
this special purpose as it could better
reach people through the state than the
suffrage lecturer.
Mrs. Bailey then introduced Mrs Day,
the incoming president, who said that
she was willing to try to serve the asso-
citation, but she felt it was the hardest
lesson she had ever tried to learn
