med the report that a challenge had been
sent to Representative Hefiin of Ala

after it was seconded. and that ] ex-
claimed, II will throw down the gauntlet
right now and publicly challenge him to
debate any place, any time he chooses"
This occurred Wednesday evening, Feb
ruary II, at suffrage meeting when the
ex-mayor of Falls Church offered To fur
nish the hall in Falls Church if We would
come there and present argument and
fact to correct the man from Alabama S
untrue statement relative to the ma
jority of women interested in suffra ge.
The public should realize that the women
working for equal rights are not limit
ing themselves to simply making propa-
ganda for the vote, but are students of
sociological issues. and are trying to ed
ucate the great mass of men and women
who are ignorant of some of the first
principles of health laws; are trying to
eliminate the sordid conditions of sweat
shop and factory and insanitary tene-
ment; to prevent little children, the very
resource Of the country'S strength, from
being .crucified yearly for the greed and
ignorance of their employer and because
sometimes in cengested cities, they need
sunSh ne and pure air, and We have not
adequate building laws to permit of their
proper housing; also we are working to
abolish the dreadful social evil. and it's
spread of disease, insanity and death
These are the things that we are asking
the fathers of the nation to remedy, and
as they have had such long chance to
prove their efficiency and have not done
so, We as mothers simply ask the vote.
that we may cooperate with them in ma
tional and civic housekeeping, they evi-
IDENTIFY having been SO busy all these
years that man alone has made laws,
with these problems of finance, com
merce. tariff and taxes, that the nation s
health and morals have been left to shift
for themselves. Children die by the
yearly. women yearly weekly
and daily suffer untold misery because
through the carelessness of the men they
are made victims of the terrible social
disease. They bear blind. deaf. defective
children, they undergo countless opera
tons, they become. mentally and physi
caIly weak, because of this social dis
ease that the fathers of the country have
done little to abolish and now as pa
triotic citizens, we ask the vote that We
may better the country, and not to oppose
the men. but only fulfill our God given
and assist them. and in
telligently mother the children and the
nation. MRS. OWEN KILDARE.
