Miss Rodgers spoke on taxation
without representation. Her addres.
was magnificently expressed anC
4plendidly put. She asked the Legis
lature to choose the highest motive
justice, and said that any opinion not
based on justice is an unstable one.
No law makes any woman vote, said
Miss Rodgers. This is a government
for the people, of the people and by
the people, and we are the people.
too. We need politically trained
I mothers, mothers educated in national
| affairs. The woman who has her
I purse snatched by ruffian has no
! vote, but the ruffian can cast his bal
lot next day, if necessary. Women
are taxed without representation.
In the name of the love we bear our
! State, she said. give us the right
of citizenship; we are all as woI thy
of ii as you.
Miss Eta Maddox made a stirring
speech. She said there are other
| things to remember besides the Maine,
and the Rough Riders at San Juan
Hill. So long as women have not the
right to tell what they need. how do
men know what they need Men say
We are represented. she said. Now,
I'd like to know what man is going to
represent me at the next Presidential
election.
Miss Baylis spoke on Woman's
Claim for Justice and Equality. F"
Congressman Edward II. Taylor and
Mrs. Taylor, of Colorado, where wo-
men have voted for eighteen years,
both spoke. Mrs. Taylor said voting
did not unsex women, that Colorado
women are as motherly as women any
where else. she said the idea is wo-
man must neglect their homes to vote,
but this is not so. 1t takes no longer
than to match a piece of silk. Women
who vote and can discuss political
questions with their husbands are
more companionable as wives and
mothers and better home-makers.
Congressman Taylor's address was
a stirring one. He told of what Wo-
man Suffrage had done for the West.
he enumerated the splendid bills in
troduced in the Colorado Legislature
by women. He said they did not seek
office, and their one idea was to have
legislation to protect the home and
the child. Ballots are as safe in the
hands of women as of men. The re-
suit of giving women the ballot has
been beneficial. Laws made by women
are of high character, and in eight
cen years there was not breath of
suspicion cast upon the political ca
reer of any woman in Colorado who
has held office. OF the 100, 900 wo-
men in that State who can vote, 85
per cent. do vote at election time.
He said in Colorado women had passed
a law where man cannot earn his
money and blow it in, but must sup
port his fanny or quit the State. And
another law was that making man
the parent of an illegitimate child as
much as woman, who in other
states has all the burden to bear
An ounce of justice is worth pound
of chivary. said Mr.. Taylor. and we
hope to see Maryland give justice of
citizenship to women.
