we are giving and getting. 1t is no
easy matter to live UP to the lessons
of the mirror and yet what should we
do? Women are not all vain things
any more than men.
We have more women that smoke,
drink and carouse, but how many more
men? If one woman has done wrong,
how many more men? So while wo-
men are not treated as equals in some
states, they are more than equals In
home life; yet we would like to be
treated fairly. To try and make the
public know we are entitled to such
treatment, we are organized to help
each other. So let US have fair show
in all things especially in what
reaches our vital trouble, our homes
and families.
Let all reports be in for the con-
vention the Gath. We are anxious to
have the best convention of the year
and Mt. Liberty is ready for you.
Be sure to attend our next meeting
and then you will know all about the
business of convention reports.
Greatest persons in history are said
to be George washington, Abraham
Lincoln and Susan B. Anthony, says
Rev. Anna Shaw in great lecture.
Her reasons are these: Washington
and Lincoln had the whole nation back
of them and fought for their princi-
pies with aid on all sides. But Susan
B. Anthony fought alone for a broad
er and better sense Of liberty for
her own sex with part Of that sex
against her. "Surely she hath done
what she could" could be truthfully
said Of her.
This would make a good subject for
debate. Think it over, ladies', and
think what you would say in Miss An
thongs favor.
