Economic changes have come and the
world must adjust itself to these new
conditions. The wage-earning woman
must have power to fix and control her
work. Our granImothers did their work

WOMAN $ SUFFRAGE A PROVEN

has extended to nine states, all of which
lie close together, where ;ile experiment
has been watched in the working. Is this
not proof conclusive that it has either
proved good or man has proven absolutely
incapable of judging?
In the old world We find suffrage
among the progressive, clearheaded,
northern states rather than in the senti-
mental nations Of the south. Finland,
Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Iceland,
all have granted suffrage in varying de
grees to women; it is universal in the L.
s. of Australia. In Norway where the
franchise has been most literally ex-
tended the ruler, in a recent address pro

Gladstone proclaimed municipal suffrage
for the good Of England, although he was
afraid to extend it to parliamentary af-
fairs. Our own country has not yet rec
ognized the great economic changes which
have transformed the outlook for men.
Greater than these, however, are the
changes that have come to women Of our
land. DR.. Shaw pronounced herself like

DIR. Shaw Diapels Danger of Esnol ant Votes

The question of equal suffrage was Civ
On hearing by the Delaware legislature
last Wednesday, previous to action upon
the bill which provides for the enfran-
chising of women. The two houses COM
bined in joint session and devoted one
hour to discussion of this live question.
Three minute talks were given by Miss
Mary Askew Mather of Wilmington, Mrs
Marvine Of Dover, Mrs. Harry Hayward
Of Newark and DR.. Geo. Reed of Grace
NJ. f. Church, Wilmington.
The hall of representatives was crowded
with interested men and women who by
their presence added weight to the plea.
The chief speaker of the occasion was Dr.,
Anna Howard Shaw, president Of the Ma
tional Equal Suffrage Association.
DR.. Shaw is an earnest, forcjDle speak
or, whose clear, logical conclusions could
not fail to impress her audience. The
discussion opened Immediately following
flag raising exercises on the Dover Green.
DIR. Shaw referred to this fact as espec-

particular class; it required an addition
to the constitution of only one word

FREE WOMEN AS WE'LL AS FREE

President Wilson, in series of recent
magazine articles, has defined democracy.
He tells us free men need no guardian,
ard he might have added free women
need no guardian. The right of people is
supreme, but woman is not included in the
American definition of people. We are
never considered as human beings. 1t is
unpleasant to be forgotten but to be 50
badly forgotten that the gentlemen who
forget, forget they have forgotten-this,
gentlemen, is the most humiliating cir

The theme was a grave one with
Walter. Wild, reckless Leslie Forbes
had no better friend than this sterling
young fellow student. But for him he
would have been twice expelled from
college. Many a night had Walter sat
up assisting his chum to prepare at
the last hour for a critical examina-

worked double time posting him to

Iron In plants.

Experiments are under way at the
agricultural meteorological station in
Vienna to increase the quantity OF
iron carried in certain plants, with a
view to the effect on the human
system when those plants are used
as food. Artificially prepared foods
containing iron do not always produce
the desired effect, because the iron
is not completely assimilated. This
difficulty. It is thought, may be
avoided by causing plants to take UP
an increased quantity of iron during
their natural growth. By adding
hydrate of iron to the soil in which
1t was growing, the experimenters
have succeeded in producing spinach
containing a percentage Of iron seven
times as great as that found in ordi.

process will prove successful with
