IN a great country for this instrument,
and thousands of them are in use.
The native who can command the

there is room for more.

The most ungenerous must confess

We believe that womans greatest
strength and influence lies in her tact
fulness and intuitions. She may be
gratified by seeing her opinions APP
propriated and manfully defended
provided she makes no sign of recog-
milton of them, for few men will adj
NIT that they are the least impressed
by any theory or suggestion advanced
by woman.
The women who have welded the
most powerful influence over the mas
terful minds of the world have claimed
the minimum, been the most reticent
and the least in evidence in the vic
tories scored. Their keen perceptive
faculties and intuitive knowledge of
human nature are heaven-born gifts,
and the women who have cultivated
these gifts and have filled the posi-
tions of devoted wives have had the
Unreasonable qualification of knowing
they had rendered valuable aid to
their husbands in the realization of
their ambitions by the judicious exer-
else of them.
There are many brilliant women
who have left an impression upon the
times in which they lived who have
never been welded except to the spe.
cial cause they have espoused. l am
ready to ascribe all honor to them
and can feel that had the fates de,
creed an eligible copartnership they
would have achieved even greater re

In some Of the states the right of
female suffrage has been extended
and women have been chosen to Off
cial positions, including that of rep
resentatives in the state legislatures,
and l am proud to say that they have
made good records. It has been graf
flying to know that the presence of
women at the polls has had salutary
effect on the elections. The riotous
disposition which characterized the
balloting on election days, and not in
frequently ended in bloodshed, has
been changed to holiday occasion
and general good -natured festivities.
I hope to see the great improvement
in political methods anticipated and
claimed by the advocates of female
suffrage.
Through the coalition of the various
elements of discord some of these
states had passed into the hands of
irresponsible men without records
which entitled them to fill these posi-
tons. They have been a hindrance
to all legislation for the welfare of
state or nation. But in the recogni-
ton of the betterment of social and
political conditions it is to be hoped
that the ablest and best of all com
munities may be brought to the front
and that speedily the highest class OF
representatives may come from the
states that have inaugurated woman
suffrage.

What Women

Copyright, 1906, by Joseph B. Bowles.>

(Mrs. John A. Logan is known and es-
teemed by all Americans. Accompanying
her distinguished husband, the most prom
inent of all the volunteer soldiers, through
the civil war, to her belongs the honor of
establishing the first hospital for sick SOL

wiser in political matters. Since his death
she has retained her prominence before
the public and her influence in national
affairs
That women have welded a power
full influence in the political world can
not be denied when we contrast the
position she occupied in this country
as late as 1850 with her present stat
us. There was not a state in the
union which did not bear upon its
statute books most unjust and I'M
righteous laws under which a woman
could be deprived of her property and
subjected to the most outrageous
treatment and literally robbed of her
inheritance through the profigacy and
recklessness of an unworthy husband.
She had no protection against the
cruelty of parent or husband or the
disposition of anything without her
authority they had the power to de-
stroy her reputation and could take
her children away from her, if she
had any, and they were so disposed
If the laws did not give them this
power the practice sanctioned and
sustained men in their unjust domino
ton over women.
The unjust rulings of school board
precipitated Mis- Anthony's rebellion
| against the unfair treatment of wo
men and caused the first movement
for woman suffrage. For a half-cen
fury Miss Anthony, Mrs. Stanton and
others of their heroic colleagues kept
up the warfare until the obnoxious
laws were expunged and much more
| Just and righteous ones enacted.
