A STRONG PLEA
For the Enfranchisement Of Wo-
men BY Rev. Anna Shaw
A very Able address
WOMEN DEMAND JUSTICE
Movement Organized to Secure
Suffrage in New State

ture. A large contingent OF clur
women were present, together
with business and professiona
men. It was anassembly repre-
sentative Of the best people in
town.
After a song Rev. S. V. Fait
read a scripture lesson and Rev.
j. B. Boen invoked the divine
blessing. Mrs. John A. Nc
Clure sang one of her sweetest
sacred songs, after which Mrs.
T. B. Biggers in few fitting
words introduced the speaker.
Rev. Anna Shaw has been en-
gagged in her present work for
thirty years and has a reputa-
tion as a lecturer and worker in
the suffrage cause, that is CO.
extensive with the country. She
IS a very scholarly woman and
is most remarkably gifted az a
speaker Possessing a marvel
ously musical voice, her elocution
is perfect and she speaks in a
manner that captivates her hear
ers. Logic, illustration, satire,
wit and humor are weapons
which she wields with equal abil-
ity in behalf Of her cause and
those who disagree with her
must admire her able presenta-
tion of her cause.
In Opening her address Dir.
Shaw commented upon the re-
markable changes that have
come over the territory within
the last decade and noted the
great advance in the cause of wo-
men suffrage that has been made
during the same time. She said
that this was an opportune time
for the women to push their de-
mand for enfranchisement. We
were on the Threshold of state
hood and it would be much easier
for the women to secure their
rights now than later. This
country, declared the speaker,
is not a republic. T" AT least one
half the people, the women, were
not represented in it. A history
Of the extension of the right of
suffrage was given. In the early
Puritan days, the right to vote
was limited to members Of a
certain church; after the reVolu-
tion it was given only to property
owners; then Jefferson proclaim
ed his doctrine Of the equal right
of all men to suffrage; after the
civil war came the enfranchise
ment Of the negro. We had
been in the process Of evolving
a real republic-it would be com
pleted with the recognition of
the right of women to partici-
pate in the government.
The suffrage clause in the
Hamilton bill was denounced as
the greatest outrage ever perpe-
trated, an insult and a grievous
injustice to women
"Men are not wilfully unjust, +"
conceded the speaker, but it is
because they cannot apply the
sublime ideas Of freedom to wo-
men which they apply to them
selves. The last step to be taken
before we stand on the summit
Of freedom is the enfranchise-
ment Of women.
There was no class to whom
the right of suffrage had ever
been extended who we're as well
prepared for it as women.
why are we disfranchised?
The reason must be found either
in the nature Of government or
in the nature Of women. The
speaker then proceeded to ana
lyze the purposes Of government,
stating them to the protection Of
life and property, administration
of justice and the development

PROTECT CITY FROM FIRE.

The fire-fghting equipment of Clark
burg is very inadequate. When the
present outfit was ordered few years
ago every one rejoiced, not because of its
efficiency, but because step had been
taken in the right direction. 1t was not
expected to end there, as 1t did. Ex-
pansion should have been the motto and
to-day there should have been far
superior apparatus. The Telegram has
suggested hook and ladder equipment
time after time, but in vain. There are
few ladders to hang on the wagon, but
II is stated by one in authority that
they can not handle these ladders, and
even, if they could, they would be OF
little service at a fire in high building
\ hook and ladder equipment is abso-
lutely essential and should be purchased
this year.
In this connection the Telegram points
out Clarksburg's fortunate location as to
water. The city has the river on the
one side and the creek on two other
sides. AT almost any season in the
year there is an abundance of water in
both the river and the creek. But some
will ask what that has to do with the
fire department. 1t has this; There
ought to be an engine or two connected
with the fire department. Such adli
tional equipments would give power to
lake avail of the opportunity this water
iffords and could be used in addition to
the water works, which have shown
themselves insufficient on more than one
Tcasion and which to-day could not cope
with flames of any considerable fierce.
ness. The cost of hose to operate these
engines would be trihe and they could
be placed at most any point in the Cit
ind be successfully run.
1t may be well to state that there
is strong intimation that insurance
rates will take jump in the spring, es.
pecially in Glen Elk and the East End.
where there is not that protection that
such vast amounts OF property call for.
1t will be because OF the insulIiciency os
the water works anu the fire department
equipment.
From common sense and practical
view, is ii better to continue to nav
more and more insurance and be without
ample protection from fire, than to spent
money to improve the facilities for
fighting fire?
The question should be all the more
pointed, coming so soon after the awful
conilagration in Baltimore and the utter
absence OF the operation Of our water
works system whole day at time
within the past month.
More money should be devoted 10 the
water works system and n large amount
hould be spent on it the coming year
to bring about an efficiency that vii
guarantee safety, and in connection with
his the fire department should be looked
ifter and made just as competent in it.

The Character Of WASHINGTON.

Notwithstanding his reserve, or
the "shyness" upon which his biogra-
piers descant, Washington knew men
and how to rule them. He may have
lacked elements of companionship.
but he knew how to control the undis-
ciplined patriotism of the country
and mold to his will the rather un-
promising material Of which the patri-
OF army was composed. There were pet.
ty jealousies to allay in the army and
in Congress, and thousand discour-
agements to surmount. Through It
all he followed calmly his guiding star
of hope. The earlier eulogists defied
him; the colder and more philosophi.
cal analysts who succeeded them
found human traits in him. Mr.. Hale
says he was man of hot passions, of
strong impulses, OF vigorous deter.
mination; "a man who forecast the
future. kept 1t in sight, and meant to
have his own way; and he was q
man who had his own way very re.
markably."
All this is very delightful to know.
It brings Washington into kinship
with humanity. This Is q hero who
may be understood, in part, at least.
by Americans Of the most distant age.

writes Of his defects. He says, II

hard to learn this business-warfare-
and at the same time to practice 1t.
He excuses Sullivan's defeat. "All of

AS critic of war he was the first
to insist again and again that the COM
mand of the sea was all-important.
What the British fleet will do puzzles
him. but not the plans of his adver-
saries on land. He predicts Bur-
goyne's disaster, and tells Greene that
such defeats as his are victories.

for this form of greatness.
Turning from his fiery courage and
reckless exposure in war, there are
in these letters many evidences of ten
derness and humanity. They are
shown early in life, when he says that
he would readily die in torture to
save the frontier people from Indian
cruelty. They appear in his extreme
unwillingness to make reprisals on
innocent men. He steadily refused, as
he says, ito avenge cruelty by cruel
ty." He reproaches general for such
conduct, and pleads mercy for the
Tories while Sir Henry Clinton is car
rying on savage warfare of murder
and rapine.
This man had no children. He was
the ancestor of nation. Let no repe-
tition Of his praise lose for you the
