Commerce Commission were origi-
nally printed in the American LnTye'

HAVE WOMEN A GRIEVANCE?
Letter From Lucy stones Daughter,
Whose Cradle Was Sold for Taxes.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sir:
The celebration of Lucy stones early
protest against taxation without rep
resentation calls attention afresh To
the fact that this wrong still exists
in the case of women
The condition Of women has been
largely revolutionized since Lucy
Stones time. Women to-day may go
TO college. may enter any OF the pro-
LESSONS, may handle their own prop
erty, may speak and write and or
naniZe. We are often told in good
faith that. however II may have been
fifty years ago. to-day women have
no grievance.
Let any man who says this put
himself for "A moment in a woman's
place. suppose that men had the
right to go To college, to enter any OF
the professions. To handle their own
property. to speak and write and or
ganize. But suppose that women
alone We're allowed To vote. and that
no man had any say as to the expen-
diture of the taxes that he was re-
CURED to pay. Would men think that
they had a grievance?
My impression is that they would
think they had a big one. II SO. let
them remember the Golden Rule and
apply II in the case OF women.
