| Today the "tumult and the shouting
dies and the candidates from .othc"
places are packing. Their procession to
the depots is like the reputed march
| of the Dutchmen in Chicago to the high
| bridge on gloomy days, in their num-
ter and their swiftnass of departure.
The women from other states, who
have been in Kansas working for the
amendment have left with their travel
| ing bags, umbrellas, and all that's left
of their Sunday hats. Most of them
gave their services. DR.. Helen Brewster
Owen, of Ithaca, New York, has been
in Kansas most of the time since last
November, receiving a salary from the
National League, and bringing into the
treasury of the State League sums she
has collected amounting to more than
two hundred dollars. Miss Mary
Graham Rice, of Philadelphia, has
finished a lecture tour, speaking espec-
tally to the people of the French set
Elements, volunteering for the work be-
cause, by a long residence abroad, she
speaks the language as fuently as her
own Mrs. Edwin Knapp has been in To-
peka seven weeks without remuneration
She has worked day and night at head
quarters. and her bill of expense Cor the
time amounts to something like six dol
lars. Some items of loss do not appear
on the bill, and include two silk petit
coats, tailored suit ruined in a rain
which fell on an automobile party dur
ing an attempted speaking trip a
string of handsome beads filched at IA
public meeting, etc. DR.. Anna Howard
Shaw declares she has had 5000 worth
of hats spoiled on the trip which she is
now taking. The women at head !
quarters worked till one o'clock one
night, and spent the rest of the morning
resting on the couches in some of the
offices, sleeping under blankets lent to |
them by Mr.. Mills. Miss Helen Eacher, |
secretary of the State League, has been !
at her desk working days and holidays
the last ten months. The work of the |
Topeka women, both at headquarters
and in the local club, has been done
at an expense of time and money Ind
labor that has not been paralleIled by |
that of women engaged in any other !
work for some length of time The /
daughter of one of the suffra gists said !
Mother what will you do next if the |
amendment fails?" Til join six bridge
clubs and play every day of the week I,
the rest of my life, and when the men
ask me to interest the club women in |
a plan for public improvement, 1 shall |
tell them that my place is in the |
parlor.''
