Some of the thinking women of this
county have just returned from con-
yent;on whose members are COM
posed of women who have also learned
to think. and some of us are becoming
very sore-hearted as we are gradually
getting our eyes open to the contempt
sometimes disguised, it is true, by a
thin veneer of hat-tipping, etc.,) with
which even representative women are
habitually treated by men.
We believe this poorly concealed
contempt for women is quite largely
inculcated and kept alive among men,
by lust such 'squibs as the one occu-
pying 10 lines in your valuable paper
OF June 4. about silly, thoughtless
woman at the post office window.

thing to feel irritated about, and per-

woman who represented 100000 other
women, has been recently treated by
men who by their position at WASH

Brothers: Our work is hard and dis

trying to bring nearer to Christ seems
to be getting farther away. Drunhen-
ness and crime are terribly on the in

one woman appear in public print -
represent the intellectual status of all
women, for that is the way in which
such things are understood by some
men. 1t is very rare when women in
journals controlled by them, cause
such things to be printed about men.
We recognize with quick sympathy

qualities and are lenicnt toward your
petty faults Isn't it about time for
your scoffing ridicule of women to
cease?
