terests and the needs of the other
half of the people.
In every stage of these expressions
we have petitioned for redress in the
most humble terms. beginning even
before the Constitution of the United
States was adopted Our repeated pc
titions have frequently been answered
by ridicule and by repeated injustice.
We have appealed to the native fair
ness and magnanimity of men, that
they disavow these usurpations which
inevitably render less dignifed, honest
and harmonious the relations between
men and women. Men have too long
been deaf to this voice of justice and
honor but many are now joining with
us in our refusal to acquiesce longer
in this unwarrantable sovereignty
over us and over our children.
We, therefore, the women citizens
of the United States of America, as
sembled today throughout the nation.
appealing to the Supreme Judge of the
World for the rectitude of our in
tentiOns, do in the name end by the
authority of the organized woman
hood of America demanding enfran-
chisement, solemly publish and de-
clare that women ought to be po-
litically free.
Here and now. in this glorious
springtime of the year, under the
azure skies of hope, in the sunshine of
life and enlightenment, we dedicate
ourselves to the great work we have
undertaken and go forward to victory
remembering that in unity there is
strength. and that not even the pref
udices OF the ages, nor the powers OF
entrenched political privilege can
keep in continual disfranchisement

when their rights are demanded by
the intelligent, patriotic and united
wOmanhood of the land.

to its institutions as that half of the
citizenship that is permitted TO govern

much TO us as il does to the men of
our nation. Women have mace. and
women will make. as many sacrifices
Tor the honor and glory of these

zens who have all the rights and
privileges of the suffrage. Given our
full citizenship and allowed 10 share

When, in the course of human
events, 1t becomes necessary Tor one
half the people to dissolve the politi-
cal bondage which has held them sub
ject to the other half of the people,
and TO assume the separate and equal
station to which the laws of nature
and of natures God entitle them, a
decent respect TO the opinions of man
kind requires that they should declare
the causes which impel them TO Free
dom
We hold these truths to be self
evident, that all men and women are
created equal, that they are endowed
by their Creator with certain un-
alienable Rights, that among these
are Life. Liberty and the pursuit of
Happiness That to secure these
rights, governments should be insti-
tuted among both men and women,
deriving their just powers from the
consent of the governed: that when
ever any form of government becomes
destructive to these ends. it is the
right of the people-women people as
well as men people-to alter or abol-
ish it, and to institute new govern
ment. laying its foundation on such
principles and organizing its powers
in such form. as to them shall seem
most likely to effect the Safety and
Happiness of all the people. Pru-
dence, indeed, will dictate that gov
ernments long established should not
be changed for light and transient
causes. and accordingly all experience
has shown that womankind are more

by abolishing the forms to which they
are accustomed But when a long
train of abuses and usurpations. pur-

absolute subjeotion although they
are spiritually and mentally ready for
Freedom. it is their right, it is their
duty. to throw OFF such subjection. and
to provide new guards for their future
security and the security of their
children.
Such has been the patient endur-
ance of the women OF this country;
and such is now the necessity which
constrains them TO demand an altera-
ton in the system of government. The
history of our government Is a history
of repeated injustices TO women (as
wives, mothers and wage-earners)
and Of repeated usurpations by men,
many of them with the avowed OBJ
ject OF protecting women. But the
direct result has been the establish

personal attention to the enormous

several trips to Europe since the war
broke out last summer. The exact
process through which the allies con-

No One Hurt BY Explosion.
No one was hurt by the explosion
and the damage can be repaired.
The explosion took place at 11.4O
and shook the Capitol building as
though II had been an earthquake.
Everything in the Senate reception
room was smashed; windows were
blown out and three telephone booths
in the corner of the room were demol-
ished Fortunately however the ex-
plosive, whatever Il was, was not pow
erful enough TO cause any structural
damage
AT first there was theory that the
explosion might have been caused by
gas leak. but Superintendent Woods
said he did not believe that this was so
He said that he thought someone haC
placed bomb in one of the west win
dows alongside of the telephone booths
but he insisted that he did not know
how a stranger could have gotten in the
room. as the Capitol had been closed for
several hours before the explosion
The room is directly 10 the rear of
the main entrance from the west to the
United States Senate. II is l25 feet
wide by - feet long. IL is handsomely
furnished and richly decorated. Two
massive chandeliers hang from the cell
ing, and by some strange freak neither
of them was badly damaged.
Immediately after the explosion every
door Of the building was closed and the
structure searched. but no stranger was
found. The police, who were first 10
enter the reception room, stated that
Il was filed with black, binding smoke
and the smell of powder was very dis
tinct, indicating that the explosion was
not accidental A slight fire in cotton
waste behind the telephone booths was
promptly eNtinguished.
The only damage was in the recep-
ton room and Il was said today that
couple of thousand dollars would
replace the shattered furnishings.

ference to appropriations to help

visor for Cochise and Santa Cruz
counties lays particular emphasis
on "the great Importance to our
county, more especially at this
time for a County Farm Advisor.
Men who have worked in t h e
mines, some for Is to 20 years,
have invested their savings in a
ranch without any practical
knowledge of what to do or how
to do it.
Not only are there many miners
who are taking up ranches in Ari-
zona and who know nothing of
ranching, but also there are many
other persons settling to farm
without any knowledge of t h e
business. Persons of this sort
are greatly helped by having a
farm advisor available, and it is
not difficult for such man to
save his salary several times over
in preventing the losses which
would otherwise occur through
the unnecessary mistakes made
by these amateur farmers. Bis

fell down the face of a cliff and
to pile of stone tagging and
some blasted rock fell after him,
those who reached him first knew
that hope was slight.
This comes of the idea that
you can work your life out in a

him. ''This has happened to me
so often it has got to be a joke,

TO the public forum and asked to de-

VINO achieve seldom talk, and men
VINO talk seldom achieve. There is
no such thing as noisy thinker. and
Drevity is always close companion
to truth.
IL VIII be a great privilege to stand
py the side of men who can roll in
place the cornerstone of industry: to
associate with men who can look
at the world and see to the bottom
of it; to commune with men who can
hear the roar of civilization a few
centuries away.
Too often we listen to the rabble
element of our day that cries out
against every man who achieves,
Cruelty him." Mankind never has
and probably never will produce a
generation that appreciates the genius
Of its day. There never will be a
crown without a cross, progress with
out sacrifice or an achievement with
out challenge.
This is an age of service, and that
man is greatest who serves the larg-
'est number. The present generation
has done more to improve the con-
dition of mankind than any civiliza-
ton since human motives began their
upward fight. The Greeks gave human
life inspiration, but while her orators
were speaking with the tongues of
angels, her farmers were plowing
with forked sticks; while her phil
csophers were emancipating human
thought from bondage. her traffic
