MISS SPROUTS COLUMN

reatest living woman speaker in our
what r you going to do
bout the thirteenth amendment?
Many were assembled to hear DR..
.nna Howard Shaw. These respectful
and women thus honored her and
hey honored themselves by going to
ear her. CHANGING to see a stern
ountenance, with ha~lf-averted face
ne easily reads not only disbelief,
nut open disapproval in the proceed
ngs. But as her %eloquence, her cru
EDITION, her humor, her pathos, and
Ter g%ood-natured satire were reveal
the change in such a face was won
lerful to behold. And,
"They who came to scott, remain
ed to pray
In comparison, the rapt attention
and clear understanding Of a simple
follower of the great speaker who
teaches Equal Rights as God meant
it should be, was one of the most in
spring sights throughout the vast
~concourse. DR.. Shaw has experience
ed the vicissitudes of life as well as
many of its triumphs, hence her pow
err of dramatic force, her knowledge
ofthe psychic moment and how to use
all TO effect the climax of a story, or
an illustration, or a heart appeal
This woman has lived life-is living
it genuinely, and honestly. She makes
her daily appeals for Equal Suffrage
as she has been making them fol
many years.
Can you doubt its ultimate success.
when such women as DR.. Shaw arr
using their great brains, testing thei,
physical endurance almost beyond be
lief TO show the sceptical, the doubt
ing, or the ignorant why women VIII
are human should be treated as hu
man?
American women are not militant
They do not seek to usurp powe.
They are not trying to shirk respor
sibilities, nor to break up the HON
nor to antagonize man. There will a
ways be homes with loving women
comfort man, to share his trouble
to double his joys. AS higher ed'
cation enables oma to apprecia'
her share in the great work of livir
+ and training, so will her vote enab
her to endorse a good law or to pr
hibit a bad one.
