Equal Opportunity.
III women of America are very differ
.rt I'm MANY ways from their sisters of
I'nroDe. When the women of America
nuke ND their minds they want any
hing they usually get 1t and get it
MEX They are now just beginning to.
mike up their minds that they want the
rjgbr to vote and the right of equal OPP
@rfrpity. Once their minds are made
IN rbpv will get it quick. In my judg-
naot woman suffrage will come in this
nqtion in the next eight years at the
ont,ide-probably much sooner With
tbe right of the suffrage, but without
nroper business like organization and re-
soprres they would be unable for many
Years to come to cope with the power
fu old political parties and derive any
effective result. 1t is my purpose, in
he creation of the American Woman's
league. to provide in advance a national
orgauizati0n along sound business lines,
with permanent local headquarters. a ma
tional capital or headquarters city. a
vast permanent income for the sinews of
war and the power of a great public,
national. clean, fearless press for the
women of this country that they may
come into their own the day they secure
the suffrage. Such an organization, pre-
nared in advance, will give the women of
This country more than equal chance
with any existing party and will result
in such a cleaning of the national stables
a. will put Hercules and the Augean
stables to blush. 1t means the salvation
of the freedom of this country; it means
clean high-minded public service, and
il means a rafting of the dry bones of
official corruption and arrogance such
a. will put them in the graveyard where
they belong. 1t is the great sun of hope
of better things that is rising over the
nation. If we here, as a return to the
women Of the country for their splendid
courage and loyalty in our own dark
hours can by ceaseleSs labor prepare
for them a great, powerful, resOurceful,
permanent, national organization ready to
their hand for the day when they shall
stand side by side in this nation, the
equal in every right, protection and OPP

4 The Gate of the Sun.
The way to blessedness is always
through narrow gates. 1t is not spec
H iacllar but individual and quiet. There
Is one gate in every woman's daily life
through which she can reach it--a gate
neglected by many because it seems so
small and insignificant, but which opens
dltect upon the true path. 1t is the
eate OF the sun, which has been aptly
leScFIhed by one of our leading organ
cations in its short but sufficient motto,
one sunshine act day" and which a
steat church also recommends in its adj
nte 70 ITS children to do one practical
