BRILLIANT INTELLECTUAL FEAST
{By William A. Moffett.) }

It is not TO be presumed, but to be
accepted by hundreds of persons who
have fHe courage Of true manhood and
womanhood TO lay aside their biased
opinions, that more solid thinking was
done within the portals of the Grand
opera house last night than has ever
been done since the structure was rear
ell Tragedy, comedy, melo-drama, ex-
travaganza, and all species of enter
tainment have made their appearance
before the footlights of this temple of
Thespis, but with all this talent ex-
plotted at immense expenditures and
in the majority of cases, representing
no moral attribute worthy of especial
consideration, it remained for one per
son, and that person woman, and that
woman strong minded woman, to car
ry off the laurels that might be bestow
ed by Greenville audience There
was never a time when all the seats
ire had such straight backs, and a
glance over the audience showed chins
up, eyes looking straight ahead, and
the gray matter of the cerebrum bus
lily engaged You ask why this depar.
ture from the usual frivolity and Ian
guora The answer is, because a well
balanced, well poised experienced, in.
tellectual woman, armed not with IA
naticisnl, but with years of experience
in what she believes to be her duty
the Creator has mapped out, stood up
on the rostrnm.

of woman suffrage advocacy. She

ENCOURAGING RESULTS SHOWN
BY ANNUAL REPORT
MORE LOCAL WRITER'S NEEDED
Articles Upon Suffrage By Prominent
Papers and Periodicals In Growing
Demand, Showing Growth of the
Sentiment

The following is the report of the
state superintendent of Press Work:
Before giving the report of the
press work of the state, [ would like
to call attention TO the progress which
has been made by the national press
workers.
A few years ago if was almost impos.
sible to get magazines and periodicals
TO accept suffrage articles. Now the
demand for such articles is greater
than can be met with. Miss Hauser,
assistant superintendent of press work
for the national W. S. A., advises mo
that thirteen newspaper syndicates use
suffrage material regularly. 1t would
be impossible to name the individual
papers and magazines which ask for
suffrage matter.
Through these agencies we are reach.
ing mliions of readers, where only
few hundred were reached formerly
The New York city dailies are literally
teeming with suffrage news. In the
month of December, 1909, six hundred
articles appeared in the New York
dailies, and in the same month 2,200
clippings on woman suffrage were re-
ceived from papers outside New York
at headquarters. So great is the de
mand upon these national workers for
suffrage articles that it has been de-
eided to use the 5000 which has here
tofare been expended yearly supply
ing the state chairmen with literature
on the national press work, leaving the
states to establish and carry on their
new bureaus Independently
All of the leading magazines are
publishing suffrage articles In March
sixteen OF the leading American mag
AGNES published suffrage articles.
Never before in the history of the move
ment has there been any such evidence
of public interest as in the question of
woman suffrage as is now evidenced
by the press of the country
The policy of the press department
of the Mississippi Woman Suffrage
association for the last year has been
to try to secure local superintendent
for the work, and through them to en-
large the number of papers on onr list
rather than to secure new papers thru
the headquarters. We began the new
year last April with three assistants.
We have since then secured promises
from nine women. making uhirteen in
all, who are pledged to help carry on
this phase of the work

suffrage was an unknown quantity in

the work, and extensive interest is
being manifested.
