THIS WEEKS THOUGHT.

I have looked into the soul of the man who
fights losing strike. have stood on the picket
line and beheld in impotent rage grinning strike
breakers take the place of honest men. 1 have
my brother set upon by hired thugs, beaten
by police and thrown in Jail. I have seen press,
pulpit and government attack the men who in
the last instance were struggling to make the
world better place to live in. Black thoughts
fell into my mind and the voice of despair cried,
''do anything" I understand the union man, who
under CALLING provocation resorts to violence.
I sympathize with him. Nevertheless,
I am opposed to conspiratory violence means
of emancipation. Such methods may win
skirn1ish here and there. They never will win
the war.-Oscar Ameringer. ...

$500 FROM ONE
WOMAN TO AID THE
EQUAL FRANCHISE CAUSE

AS one result of the vote that was
taken on the woman suffrage amend
ment in the House yesterday, the Con-
necticut Woman Suffrage Association
have determined to extend their ten
weeks campaign for five more weeks.
The enthusiasm among the women
who assembled in Hartford was re-
narkab1e and one woman announced
her intention to donate 800 towards
the expenses of the extended campaign.
The cities to be included in the new
campaign as far as it is at present out
lined are New London, N orwich, Nor
walk, Stamford and perhaps Bridge
port. Further particulars will be an
nounced just as soon as plans are
completed. The suffragists are ma
tural1y much eIated over the prospects
of further enthusiastic work. The
readiness of the women to aid in time,
work and money is the most cheering
feature of the suffrage work.
Much hard work during the last
week has gone, into the packing of
the boxes for the relief of the flood
sufferers Many of these were dis
patched Saturday, some went on
Monday and the last were sent off by
the middle of the week. Many con-
tributions came from people who are
not identified with the suffrage cause
and the directions as to cleanliness of
clothing and pairing of shoes, were in
general very well observed
