The information concerns first
the clothing needed by Belgian
and other refugees, women and
children:
Woollen blouses,
Warm skirts,
Boots and shoes,
Stockings,
Cotton chemises (untrimmed)
Knitted mufflers, or scarfs, to
cover head and shoulders.
But above everything, shawls,
knitted. for women, made of warm
wooIlen material; large enough to
fold. so that they cover the head
and shoulders and body as well.
They do not wear sweaters.
Only the young girls will wear
coats. Some will wear petticoats.
These would be very useful for the
children; also simple warm
dresses, and knitted hoods, with
long ends to throw around neck,
or with short capes to cover shoul-
ders. Presents Of yarn and long
knitting needles would be very
welcome. All the refugees beg for
wool, etc.

Washington and California, in
which the measure is too recent to
have yielded marked results-Col-
orado has been chosen for most OF
the Investigations that have been
made into the workings of equal
suffrage. The few unfavorable re-
ports that have appeared-all, 1t
must be said, in publications of
known anti-suffrage tendencies
have called forth an avalanche of
indignant refutation from the most
representative men of the State.
In 1898, as a result Of certain
representations, statement
approving equal suffrage was IS
sued. signed by the governor,
three ex-governOrs, both United
States Senators, two ex-Senators,
both members of Congress, the
Chief Justice and two associate
justices of the Supreme Court,
three judges of the Court of APP
peals. four judges of the District
Court, the Secretary of State, the
State Treasurer. the State auditor,
the Acknowledgement, the mayor OF
Denver. the presidnt Of the State
University, the president of Color
ado College, and the presidents
and officers of numerous women s
clubs.
In 1899 the Colorado legislature
passed, by vote of 45 to 3 in the
House and 30 to ! in the Senate, a
resolution declaring during the
time that equal suffrage had been
in operation women had urged the
vote as generally as men, with the
result that better candidates had
been selected for Office, election
methods had been purified, and
the character of legislation inn
proved. civic intelligence increas-
ed and womanhood developed
and recommending the adoption OF
the measure by all the states and
territories of the Union.
In 1901 equal suffrage, which
had come in as Legislative meas
ure in 1893 by only a little over
5000 majority, was carried as a
constitutional amendment by ma
jority of $4,000.
| In'1911, as a result of an attack
upon the workings of equal suf
frage in Colorado, the men Of the
State formed the Colorado Equa
| Suffrage Aid Association, in order
to supply accurate information
with regard to the system, and t.
correct misrepresentation. 1T:

Following are few out of in
Vulnerable testimonials that have
been given by the leading people Of
the State:
Governor John F. Shafroth-
In Colorado the principle of
equal rights for women is irrevoc-
ably determined. Submit the ques-
ton to those that have tried it and
scarce corporal's guard will be
found to vote against it.
Governor Alva Adams
Even the most virulent enemy Of
woman suffrage cannot prove that
any harm has come from the ex-
pertinent. All fair-minded OBJ
servers are justified in predicting
higher standard of morals and
of political life as a result of
equal suffrage.
Ex-senator Henry NJ. Teller
woman suffrage has been bene-
fetal to the people of my State. If
the question were resubmitted to
the voters today the opposition
would be negligible. y
Ex-senator 7. M. Patterson
Women s legal rights have been
improved in Colorado since they
obtained the ballot, and there are
now no civil distinctions. Equal
suffrage tends to make political af
fairs better, purer and more de.
sirable for all who take part in
them.
Judge b. b. Lindsey, Of the
Denver Juvenile Court "Wt

Women Suffrage Notes

Edited by Miss Mary r. deVou,
press chairman Delaware Equal
Suffrage Association.
MILTTANTs VS.. WAR
IF the destruction Of the Roke-
by Venus by suffragists was an
outrage what shall we call the de-
struction not only of great cath
edrals in Europe but of humble
homes as well?"
"Who is militant now?' seems
indeed pertinent question. 1t is
with pride and qualification that
Wilmington Suffragists recall the
resolution passed at the meeting Of
May 26, 1913, deploring the use of
violent methods in attaining equal
suffrage, because the abolition of
war and war-like methods as
means Of settling difficulties and
securing rights or privileges. is
cherished by women as one OF the
most important results to be
brought about by Equal Suf-
frage. -
Ox-TEAM METHODS
Massachusetts is cited as a
model state which has reached its
highest place without the help of
women s votes. A little investiga-
ton of this claim, will put the mat
ter in a new light to thoughtful
people.
Equal guardianship of parents
over their children prevails IN
Massachusetts, for example, but 1t
took the women of that state fifty
five years to secure this measure of
Justice which Colorado granted in
one year after her women had the
vote. "Whither, in the words of
Plato, "does the argument tend? -
Though every benefiicent law
for humanity were passed without
the help of Equal Suffrage, that
fact would constitute no sane rea-
son against it. Justice, right and
democracy are the issues at stake.
That certain desirable measures are
won without women's votes, is
aside from the issue. In this day
and generation, besides, up-to-date
people are fast abandoning OK
team methods for those of steam
and electricity. Why go to Phil
adelphia on foot or by sailing ves-
sci when you can go in half an
hour by rail?
Massachusetts is a splendid ar
gument for Equal Suffrage.

woman suffrage has brought about

The Cherokees have figured in
rome OF the notable stages OF Amer
lean history. Ethnoiogically they
are said to be a branch of the ior-
quois family. although never allied
politically with the lroquois nation.
Originally they occupied the Apo
mstox basin of Virginia. but were
gradually driven south into Georgia
and the Carolinas, with branches in
kentucky and Tennessee. Here they
developed the powerful confederacy
which made treaties with the United
States, and resisted the efforts of
the states to dispossess them. This
raised one OF the first issues over the
states being bound by federal treat
les. When the United States supreme
court sustained the Cherokee treat
