couraeing cleanliness and sanitary
methods; she is improving the home
and lifting it out of the mire oI
drudgery.
Above all else she is fighting for
the ballot, and / can see no reason
why she should not have it. If men
Ecan find the time to leave their busl'
ness and make use of the privilege
of the ballot, why has not woman
tho time, or why should she no'
take the time, to attend to such
matters? Are not the laws OF tue

honor and pleasure to be present to-
night as representative Of the Lake.
land Board of Trade, an organiza-
tion composed of more than 200 of
Lakeland's enterprising and progress
sive citizens, and in their behalf. to
extend to you most hearty and cor
dial welcome to our beautiful and
progressive city. We are by nature
a progressive city, but owing to the
fact that we have an active WOm-
ans Club and live Board of Trade,
we are as matter of course much
more progressive than would other
wise be possible, for it is unthink-
able that any city or town have
within its borders these organiza-
tons, and not have at least in some
degree the progressive spirit.
AS members of the Board Of Trade
we especially appreciate and applaud
the good work that you are doing
and as our endeavors are in many
respects along similar lines, we
pledge you every possible assistance
in your efforts to make this old
world a better, brighter and happier
place in which to live.
AS we understand your purposes,
you are Transforming places that are
unsightly and unattractive into sur
roundings that are beautiful and at
tractive. Where you find conditions
that are menace to health and life
YOU make it your business to see
that remedy is provided for these
unfortunate conditions. You are
also devoting largely of your efforts
to having enacted into laws those
measures making for the welfare of
all classes of our citizens. An especi-
ally -commendable feature of your
work is the attention you are giving
to the welfare of our school chill
dren and procuring for them condi-
tions that safeguard their lives,
their health and their comfort.
Never at any period in the world S
history was the time more ripe for
human endeavor along all lines than
now. Never has greater opportunity
offered for the accomplishment of
good to our fellow man and for ef-
forts looking to the welfare of hu-
manity in general.
To my mind, we have reached a
crisis in the worlds affairs. From
across the seas comes the tramp of
millions of men as they are leaving
their homes and preparing to enter
a conflict such as the world has nev-
er dreamed. and of such magnitude
that when we pause to contemplate
its awful results the mind staggers
and fails to comprehend.
In our own land Of peace and
plenty, changes are occurring SO
