Boone, Dec 9-Mrs. Rowena E.
Stevens, wife of Judge j. L. Stevens,
+ this city, we'll known in this state
as "a leader in the suffrage movement,
has written an article answering Pres
idcnt Roosevelt and DIR. Lyman Abbott,
on their suffrage beliefs. Mrs. Stevens
| is eN-state regent of the ID. A. R., and
is national leader in the suffrage
work. as well as in Iowa. Her article
| follows:
! And now 1t is President Roosevelt
Tho has written a letter, and SAID
things he ought not; he wrote his
opinion of woman suffrage, and to the
Rev. Lyman Abbott, too. In these days
of publicity and investigation, letters
have proven treacherous, and danger
Gus things. With Abbott's outspoken
ideas on suffrage, the president ought
TO nave suspicioned at least, that his
communication would have borne a
strong flavor of the reverend gentle
mans thought, when it reached the
public. Maybe Abbott felt shaky in his
convictions, and wanted some strong
support. or has the time come, when
what he says needs endorsement before
it will pass current? We should really
like to see the letter, SO as to feel sure
of the quotation marks being properly
placed, before we take issue with the
president of the United States. AS
~, n u III, al
to leaders of the suffrage movement,
we all are in accord with him. Suf-
fragists are not working to take wo-
men from the home, but to protect her
in that home, and in any field which
she may choose to labor, and to have
her work recognized and properly cred
tied.
"They believe the home is for man
as we'll as woman, and boys and girls
together. Women should be a part
owner in the home, and not simply the
home keeper Any one wishing to
make sure of the advance Of the cause
of woman suffrage is referred to the
United States census and they will see
how women have gained in the last
fifty years; also read any of the ar
ticles on the subject in leading mag
azines today.
In these articles, one learns of the
economic necessity of woman suffrage
Women at the present time are under
bidders for work, and a very great dis
turbing element in the labor question,
and before settled adjustment can be
reached, women must receive the same
pay for the work done as men. and
protect the right to that pay with the
ballot 1t is not in the power of Lyman
Abbott or President Roosevelt to stop
the march of human progress.
