seventh annual convention of the
National American Woman Suffrage
Association will have some effect,
especially as this body will make an
appeal to congress, presenting, en-
masse, copies of the resolutions sent
in from each congressional district.
Mrs. Medill Mccormick, chairman
of the congressional committee of
the National American Woman Suf-
frage Association in Washington, ex-
plains the purpose of this plan for
going-away parties as follows:
ut is to demonstrate the demand
for nationwide woman suffrage and
to secure action during the next ses-
sion of congress, that the congress
sional committee has arranged these
congressional district meetings
throughout the country. Especial
emphasis will be given to the meet
ings in the districts of new men,
bers of congress, of whom there are
over $50 this session, and no con-
gresham will be left in a position
to oppose up on the ground that
there is no sentiment in my dis
trict.'"
Mrs. Mccormick, who is the
daughter of Mark Hanna, and known
as one of the most foresighted poll
ticians in suffrage ranks, has been
putting much of her best effort dur
ing the past two years into congress
sional district organization work in
non-suffrage states. 1T is said by

THE PUBLIC FORUM
STEDMAN AND THOMPSON. =

The silly season must be approach
ing earlier than usual this year as
note the suggestions of o. Todtleben
and others in The Public Forum for
place in Mayor-Elect Thompson's
cabinet for Seymour Stedman.
Evidently these men do not know
Stedman or the Socialist party. AL
low me to inform them that Stedman
like Kennedy and Rodriguez are So
cialists first, last and all the time.
Socialists never compromise their
principles under any circumstances,
never accept favors from the enemy
of the working class, viz, the class
that Thompson represents.
Stedman would laugh at such an
offer were Thompson foolish enough
to make it, but don't worry, Thomp-
son has too much good sense for that.
Stedman turned down an offer of
Mayor Harrison for member of the
board of education when it was tend
cred him not so long ago.
When the workers are ready to
take over the affairs of their city they
will do so. In the meantime we will
have to be satisfied that Chicago be

That it is an abominable failure in
this all-important phase needs no
comment, but we never surmised it

to its care. This is done in the fol-

A short time ago the building
housing the receiving room, tailor

attacked by fire, the flames consum-

On Bundle Day the superintendent of
the Bridewen called on the guIlible
public to send their cast-off rubbish
for the use of the poor prisoners.
At the expiration of an inmates
time of detention he is intimidated to
choose from this lot of misft, worn
out, scanty assortment.
They have also secured some
new, unmarketable, cheap raiment
for the use of those inmates who are
credited with having possessed serv-
iceable, good clothing.
The major part of these inmates
are detained because of nonpayment
of small fines, proving distressing
financial circumstances. During the
