THE PASSING OF A NOTED
WOMAN

Susan B. Anthony has passed away :,
aged eighty-six years. Miss Anthony
was remarkable woman and had ar
rived at the topmost round of the
ladder of fame. She bears away with
her crown of honor. Her sex and
race may we'll be proud of her attain
ments. She has accomplished Won
ders. She was the natural product
of her times. She seized the passing
opportunities and in the line of good
conscience and present duty she has
won deathless immortality. Mil
lions of people have said and now say,
"Well done, Miss Susan B. Anthony"
She was born in old Gray Lock, Mas
sachusetts, 1920. 1t vas stirring
times and marked the rise of the
temperance, anti-slavery and woman S
rights movements. The public stood
on tiptoe anxiously waiting for some
thing to come. Real reform move
ments were in the arr. The public
mind was intensity active and agi-
tated. Every thoughtful and observ-
ant person felt the thrill of passing
and impending events. Miss Anthony
possessed great mind and still
greater heart and caught the spirit of
the age and became TRANSPORTED to
the gaze of the world.
. She was of Quaker extraction and
that fact accounts for much in her
after life. There she got her human
itarian ideas. There she received the
baptism of the spirit and the will that
led her to work necessarily for the
glory of God and the good of man.
She lived long and busy life. She
worked in the village factory. In
teaching she learned to use her powers
of mind and heart. Her father, all
though well-to-do in the world, had
the good sense to teach his daughter
womanly independence. She firmly
believed in the fatherhood of God and
the brother hood of man, and in that
firm belief lay the great secret of
her power. She believed and there
fore she spoke. Her thoughts came
from burning soul and found an
enlodgment i. . the hearts of others.
On the rise of the anti-slavery agi-
tation, she boldly stepped to the front
with William Lloyd Garrison, Wendell
Phillips, Frederick Douglass, John B.
Cough, Henry Ward Beecher, Theo-
dore Parker, Charming, Pillsbury and
others of that great reform constella-
ton. She soon became mark for
the arrows of the enemies. She
dared, and almost loved, prosecutions
for the sake of truth. When thrown
The Denison review. [volume] (Denison, Iowa) 1867-current, 1906-04-05

by her prosecutors "to the beasts of
Ephesus'' she fought them adroitly
and even savagely and always OBJ
tanned deliverance. She was scorned,
sneered, reproached, and legged"
after the manner of those days, but
yet "none of these things moved
her. - She stood like wall of adj
amant by her own principles and con-
victions. She lived to see the most
of them accomplished. Slavery was
abolished, the Intoxicating cup driven
from all we'll ordered homes and
women's property and civil rights
recognized. When her work seemed
to be done in one direction she quickly
turned in another and pushed that
with dauntless ardor. She did not
fold her tent in peace and rested not.
She was always in the advance of
some forward movement. When
slavery was gone, Wendell Phillips
was lost. His avocation was gone.
1t was not so with Miss Anthony.
Her field of effort and hope was ever
widening and she never wearied in
we'll doing. When one battle was
fought and won, she did not stack
arms and rejoice in her victory, but
pushed at once boldly forward for
fresh attack. Her darling thought
in recent years has been the cause of
woman's suffrage. All the while
she has said, ''The old guard never
surrenders. I" In her latest effort at
Baltimore she said in spirit, 81 bate
not one jot of heart and hope" She
stood on Mt. Pisgah and saw the
"goodly land and Lebanon. y
She dared to do right. That spirit
characterized her acts in every
emergency. She lead and did not fol-
low. When invited to a reception
given to the little wizard, - Martin
Van Buren,, then the president of the
United States, and where 1.-THE flowing
bowl' was deemed an essential part
of the banquet, she scornfully refused
the invitation. She despised ''the
garment spotted with the flesh. She
would not sanctify by her presence
the president she loathed and the
wrong method of doing him honor. If
there were more women like Susan B.
Anthony in the world, the dark clouds
of oppression which have hung over
womanhood in oriental lands for ages
and which were brought in some little
measure to this country, would soon
be dissipates and women everywhere
would enjoy all the glory and richness
of their God intended Inheritance.
May the mantle of the ascending
Susan B. Anthony fall on many maid
ems in the land and may blaze of
glory flash from them all over the
world. May the good seeds of truth
sown by her loving hands bring forth
a thousand fold. She carried with her
into the broad and glorious life of
the future the warm affections of
countless souls. Ringgold Record.

One of the principal counsel for the New York
Central said yesterday:
There many points in the Elkins law that
have never been decided by the United States So

other is whether conviction in such cases bo-f
