Mrs. Ella Boole, president of the New
York State w. c. T. T., gave an address
upon Woman's Suffrage. and said the wo-
mans suffrage movement means equality
not only for the ballot box, but all along
that line: that when the movement was
first agitated. not a single college existed
where woman might receive a higher edu-
cation, while now more than 230 of such
colleges open their doors for the advan-

to an education and to receive equal pay
for equal work, the speaker said. While
it used to be the talk that a woman was

band; that while a man may be released
from jail Monday and vote Tuesday
woman is denied her right to register her
convictions at the ballot box simply be-
cause she is woman; that while her prop

disposition of the money so raised, and the
