belongings in covered wagons hauled by OK
teams, left Indiana, bound for central Iowa.
Among them was a ten-yearod girl, Sarah
Brewer, who is still living, and who is the
mother of Harriet M. Closz. She was de-
prived of every advantage herself and SUBJ
jected to the hardships and grinding pow
erty of pioneer days. In 1856 j. G. Bone
bright, of Illinois, removed to Iowa, and
in 1858 he was married to Sarah Brewer
and they became the parents of six chill
dren, of which Harriet M. Closz is one.
These Indianians travelled westward for
several weeks, crossed the Mississippi at
Burlington, Iowa, and journeyed north of
Des MOines never crossing single railroad
track in Iowa. In November, 1S49, they
settled on the site of Webster City, which
was plated by the grandfather of Harriet NJ
ClOsZ Now began a battle with nature
and the pitiless elements to found home
and wrest subsistence from the virgin soil.
The mother of Harriet, in her majestic
womanhood, self-sacrifce, sterling common
sense, and lofty ambition, bulded for ner
children better than she knew She is one
of the unhistoric heroines about whom the
world is silent, yet whose services to her
family, State and country far transcend
those of statesmen, soldiers, politicians and
parsons whom the world greets with ap-
plause and rewards with place. power, and
pelf To this pioneer mother l bow my
head in reverence because her services to
humanity eclipse those of the Napoleons,
Wellingtons and Grants which fill the
pages of history. Harriet M. Closz says
she owes all her opportunities and useful
ness in life to her heroic mother and the
bond of love and cOmradeship between this
mother and daughter is purer and stronger
than words can express.
Harriet was born in an Iowa log cabin
during the Civil War, and she says: ITO
Delivers in heredity my scrapping proclivi-
ties are quite consistent with the spirit of
the time in which / was born" Harriet
has written a descriptive poem of life in
an Iowa log cabin, so realistic and scintil-
lating with wit and pathos that the picture
in detail is impressed on the mind This
poem was widely copied in the Western
press, and was printed in the Blade. At
the age of seventeen Harriet secured her
certificate and became a teacher After
teaching a short time she was married to
Mr.. Theobald Closz, who was then station
agent for the G. & N. w. Railroad but now
holding a responsible and lucrative position
with the United States stock yards of
Chicago.
Mr.. Closz is a native of Germany and
come to the United States when seventeen
years of age. He Is a man of wide infor-
nation, a thinker, student and successful
business man. Harriet says she abandon
in the domestic school," and facetiously
were Mr.. Closz consulted would
doubtless declare had been disobedient
one, and no immediate possibility of gradu-
atng with honors." Mrs. ClosZ has done
a vast amount of literary work She is
always on guard to advance the cause of
Free Thought.

By. JOSEPHINE X. HENRY

The great State of Iowa is the home of
as able and valiant band of Liberals as
can be found in the American Republic,
and they have always been loyal and gen.
erous supporters of the Blue Grass Blade
and their aid and encouragement have
helped to win many battle from tyranni-
cal orthodoxy.
At the head of the list stands the name
in letters of light of Harriet NJ Closz of
Webster City. She has for years been one
of the Blades ablest and most valued con-
tributOrs, and her instructive forceful and
unanswerabe articles are sought and read
with the keenest interest.
heather bible says: "All the wisdom
of Vedas, and all that has been written in
books, is to be found concealed in the heart
of woman" This was written ages ago
but its truth is manifested today in the
wisdom and courage of the women in the
free thought movement 1t is far cry
from Hypatia TO Elizabeth Cady Stanton,
but the cry of great women through the
centuries has struck the same note: Truth
and knowledge alone can bring liberty and
justice to the human race. This cry has
struck terror to the heart of priestcraft
and well it may, for there is no other name
under the arch of heaven save that OF
woman whereby the world can be saved
from superstition and slavery. Men may
ascend the heights of reason, extort from

lgious and scientific systems, but they
never can be just, humane or free until
they are born of women, who have entered
the realm of reason and paralyzed the
power of priests.
The life and labors of the immortal Eliza
beth Cady Stanton, Marilla M. Kicker have
had a powerful influence on the women of
our country, whether they recognize the
fact or not. Women now freely express
themselves on church creeds and canons
and parley with the preacher about scrip
ture texts. Women do not now consecrate
their sons to the ministry. The family
altar and the blessing at the table are as
much out of date as the choir leader with
his tuning fork and the amen corner with
its snoring deacon" The 'Woman's Bible"
by Elizabeth Cady Stanton and her CO
laborers throws a radium light on what the
holy bible teaches about women.
Harriet M. Close has probed this vital
subject to the quick. No American woman
can so worthily and gracefully wear the
mantle of Elizabeth Cady Stanton as Har-
riet M. Closz. Their minds and reasoning
powers seem cast in kindred molds logical,
investigating, courageous fair to oppo-
nnts, yet never retreating when they have
discovered a truth; casting down the idols
that have held their sex in bondage; hold
ing high the torch of reason to guide their
her armor down surely this young Iowa
woman must have picked it up and ad
justed it to her brain and heart.
Harriet M. Closz comes of the sturdy
pioneer stock that subdued the great Mid
die West and made it a browning glory of
American civilization. In the fall of 1849
