IN MEMORIAM.
Dearest Fora, thou art sleeping,
Thy loved name we call in vain;
Never more thy voice will greet us
In the dear old home, again.
All alone life's path we're treading
And the way is dark with gloom
For our loved one now is sleeping
In her cold and silent tomb.
Now we know that thou art resting
On the loving SavIour's breast
Fora gone but not forgotten
All in heaven among the blest.
Blessed Fora may thy spirit
Hover Ger our lonely home,
Come to comfort, guard, bless us,
Fora leave us not alone.
Call not back the dear departed,
Anchored safe where storms are o'e
On the border land we left her
Soon to meet and part no more.
When we leave this world of changes
When we leave this world of care,
We shall find our darling Fora
In our Fathers mansion fair.
Yes, dear Fora they have called you
To the realms so bright and fair.
And we saw your loved form going.
Going where we soon shall GO
Fora thou art gone before us
Where the pure and holy dwell.
Help, o help us, learn the lesson.

Mrs. Clarence Mackay Defines
Purposes Of Woman Suffrage

New York, oct. S0.--Mrs Clarence
H. Mackay, having been asked to de
fine the purposes and the position OF
the Equal Franchise society OF which
she is the president, has given out the
following statement for publication:
1.-THE purpose of the Equal Fran
chise society is to promote the welfare
OF women by securing the national,
state and local electoral franchise for
women. because the Equal Franchise
society believes In the political and
civil equality Of men and women. The
electorate should represent the whole
nation, and a system of government
under which one-half of nation are
DISTINGUISHED is not truly represen-
tative national system.
1--WE are inviting people to become
members Of our society in order to
contribute to the advancement of pub
lie education by the promotion Of our
cause. We feel that in order to secure
the Acknowledgement of women 1t is
not necessary for us to initiate methods
which are being used in other coun-
tries.
American manhood has always

way as to make us feel that we shall
ultimately achieve our aim without
sensationalism. 1t will not endorse the
militant methods. It has been repeat
eddy said TO me by men in public life
and men in private life that when the
women of the United States unite in
demanding the vote, they will get it,
and / think that is perfectly true, and
that therefore what is needed to fur
Their the suffrage cause, to give all sorts
and kinds of women the opportunity Of
listening to speakers who will explain
just what the suffrage will mean to
US all.
Most of the men | have met are
apparently willing to cooperate with
us. and have listened to what we have
said with courtesy and consideration,
1t has not seemed necessary in the
past. and / don't think 1t will be ne
