things. OF course, not all requests
can be filled, even if deserving. which
all are not, nor can a child receive
more than one gift. Nor can she go
into the clothes and shoes proposition.
Toys and other joy-bringing gifts are
all she can possibly manage.

For department of the Home.

Dr. Shaw recommended federal De

suffrage cause during the twelve years
of her presidency.

when detailing our triumphs. we do not
The answer is because we have none.
We have not lost an inch anywhere.

Later the bylaws of the association

ern states, where suffrage already nao
been granted. were putting the cause
OF women above that of party and
that these women were being COM
pletely organized as fast as posslpie
SO as to bring pressure to bear upon
senators and representatives in Con-
gress for a constitutional amenomeht
for nationwide woman suffrage
Two of the speakers were from states
where women vote-Mrs. Frances
Joliffe and Mrs. Sara Bard Field MRS.
Jolife told the committee that the
women of California, from which state
she came, had determined to place the
cause of women above other issues. ana
that she herself had been democrat
and believed strongly in her party, but
that she put aside all affiliations with
IT when 1t came to the question OF ma
ton wide woman suffrage. She de-
clared that the talk heard in the nails
of Congress about states rights anu
that every state should decide the sur
frage question for itself was a mere
excuse to dodge the issue.
Mrs Joliffe declared thats it was not
true that the women of the south. as
whole or in large majority were op-
posed to woman suffrage.
Factory Owners Behind outcry.
1T is the factory owners, who employ
child labor. she said. who are making
the QUERY against woman suffrage IN
the south, for they know that If Wom-
en- had the vote there would be no chlld
labor.
Mrs. Field told the committee that
the woman voters feel that something
give the vote to the women of the
east. The war in Europe. where the
sons of millions of women were being
sent to feed the cannon, she said, had
given an impetus to the desire that
women should have say in the gov
ernment of the country and whether
there should be peace or war.
Mrs. Cyrus Mead of Ohio said that she
had been through two campaigns in
Ohio and felt qualified to speak as a
practical woman. You men have told
us to organize, and now we are or
ganiZing in congressional districts,
counties and townships. The women in
Ohio are aroused. and by organization
they feel that at last they have some
way of reaching you gentlemen at
Washington.
Proper Sphere Cry Discounted.
Mrs. James Rector. also of Ohio, dis
ters that to give women suffrage would
be to take them out of their proper
sphere and harden them.
Il have known women who have been
more hardened by playing bridge than
by working she said
Others who addressed the committee
