by Gov. VIM. 7. Cobb.

presence Of large assemblage Of men
prominent in Maine and Pennsylvania.
monument to the memories Of
soldiers of the State Of Maine who
were at Valley Forge in the winter Of
117T-171S. was unveiled this afternoon
at the historic camp.
George f. Fellows, president of tho
Maine Society OF the Sons Of tho
American Revolution, presided at the
exercises.
Governor Cobb of Maine presented
the monument to the Valley Forge
Park Commission and it was accepted
by w. II. Sayen. a member of the COM
mission. Andrew Moulton. a former
president of the Maine Society Of the
Sons of the American Revolution, was
tie orator.
Gov. Cobb said:
Mr.. President, Ladies and Gentlemen:
The whole country owes a debt Of
gratitude to the men and women who
justly proud of their ancestry have
done so much to perpetuate the deeds
and memories Of those who partici-
pated In the struggle for independence
and constitutional liberty in America
definite motive inspired the great
commonwealth upon whose soil we
stand today. and whose guests in a
sense we are. to set aside to care for
and to cOnsecrate forever to a reverent
patriotism this hallowed and historic
ground. A definite motive prompted
Maine to heed the request of the So
clety Of the Sons of the American
Revolution of that State, and to cause
TO be erected here monument to
commemorate the faithfulness and
valor of the men who, living then In
what is now Maine, left their homes
and bore their share Of the hardships
Of that memorable winter at Valley
Forge. The motive in each case was
the same and is thankful apprecla-
ton of the sacrifices made for coun-
try and liberty. So long as it exists
and finds its sincere expression in acts
and ways like these so long will the
fires Of patriotism illumine the path
to true national grandeur and the
permanency of our institutions be as
sured
1t has often been the fate of one
to die for the triumph OF a righteous
principle. but their memory is indeed
blessed if a calmer future shall vindi-
cate their cause, and If to their own
successors shall come the full enjoy
ment of the conditions established by
that sacrifice.
With this lesson in our hearts we
are here to pay our tribute Of respect
and veneration to all those who made
the glories of this spot immortal.
In behalf of the State of Maine 7
present to your sir, as the president Of
the Valley Forge Park commission.
this memorial. 1t is neither magnif-
cent in proportion nor ornate in design
but with it none the less are brought
the sentiments of State proud of her
history and traditions, grateful to the
men VINO made and preserved them.
and of people to whose patriotism
and loyalty no appeal has yet been
made in vain.

not confined, however TO the question OF
suffrage. 1t covered a broad range OF sub

such as marriage and divorce, the per-

tions

est admiration for women" said Lady
Cooke, and declared they are the power
behind the throne
Lady Cooke pointed out to the president
that inasmuch as aliens and the negro race
have been given the right to franchise
she could not see why women should not
be accorded the same privilege. She de-
claIed that 1t was a stigma" for women
not to have this right
President Roosevelt led me to believe
that II after a careful study of the bin
and the question of suffrage for women he
thought 1t would advance them, he would
lend his influence in behalf of the meas
ure." she said.
The president told me that he did not
see that much good had come as a result
of giving women the voting privilege where
1t had been extended to them, notably In
Colorado and other states He could not
see that the mere fact that they have this
right Is going to be their redemption"
