ADDRESS ON WOMAN SUFFRAGE

An intelligent audience of men and
women Allied Grange Hall last Thurs
day evening to hear Miss Eliza Fl
Lord, of Washington, ID. c., on Wo-
man Suffrage.
Miss Lord, a visitor in town, was
most gracious to respond to an invi-
tatiOn to speak, extended by the Con-
gressional Union for Woman Suffrage
of Sussex County. The joint chair
men of the meeting we're Mrs. A. E.
Rosa and Mrs, ] p. Pierce, officers
Of the Union
The speaker did not rehearse the
well-known arguments for this pro-
paganda, but carried her hearers at
once to a consideration of the need
OF a sOunder and more practical eth
ical life, for the women of the pres
ent' time.
Miss Lord did this in a most inter
esting way; first, historically: by con-
sidering the American women through
the sturdy pioneer days when both
mind and hand had to respond CO.
herently and faithfully to the stern
necessities of the daily home life, not
yet aided by science applied to house
keeping.
Inc UuESLADn Wd6 AhAnEu D4 AuE
speaker as to whether women are re-
spending now as then to the pressure
OF responsibilities that will mold
them into the finely ethical and re-
sourceful type of women of that elder
time. Miss Lord then showed how
the nature of wOman's responsibilities
had been shifting and enlarging by
the pressure of the times; mainly and
largely through the mighty forces of
the higher education and the higher
Christianity, until now woman stands
in the relation of mother and sister
to the whole human race.
Miss Lord, standing at the apex of
her life, and being herself one of the
first to grasp the higher means of
study, reviewed the history of the
terrible onslaught upon college cours-
es that the early woman had to en-
dure from the conservatives Of those
days. She made a telling application
of this to the attitude Of the conser-
vatives of the present time toward
woman's further progress as a factor
in the whole of life.
In conclusion she characterized the
"Woman's Party" as a movement
the political vision that wo-
men are developing for finding
practical means to further a great
and glorious end-WOman Suffrage.
