worker, died in hospital here shortly
before midnight last night aften an
Illness of ten weeks. She was thirty
years old.
Mrs. Boissevain was stricken sud-
denly while addressing an audience in
this city during the recent political
campaign and tainted on the platform
of the meeting. She was removed TO
the hospital and her husband and par
ents rushed from New York to join her
here. Miss Vida Milholland her sis
ter, was with her when she was strick-
en- and has been in constant attend
ance since that time.
Mrs. BOissevain's illness was dag
nosed as aplastic anemia and blood
TRANSMISSION was resorted to in attempts
to improve her condition. Miss Vida
MilhOlland twice gave blood for this
purpose and on four other occasions
friends submitted to the ordeal in hope

After each TRANSMISSION temporary
Improvement was followed bg relapse.
Her husband, Eugene Boissevain; her
parents. Mr.. and Mrs. John E. Mil
holland of New York, and her sister,
Miss Vida, were present when she
died.
1t was announced that the body
would be taken to the family home
In New York and would be accom-
panied by the family. .. ......... P
In addition to mind that forced
recognition from men and women alike
and forceful personality, she was
strikingly beautiful.

She was born in New York in 1885,

America and England and appeared
at Vassar college in the class of 1909.
She won scholastic honors and showed
considerable athletic prowess. She
spent three years at the University Of
New York Law school and got her
legal degree and was admitted to the
bar Of New York In 1912.
The young woman had been active
= ly identified with almost every wOm-
ans cause in the country before she
left college. On her graduation she
threw herself into the fight with ev-
, cry ounce Of her strength. In the
shirtwaist and laundry strikes in New
York, in 1912, she was the guardian
angel of the girls who were fighting
for little better than mere existence.
On July Is, 1913, came the news that
amazed her friends and created a
Juror. She had been married in Eng
land, without the knowledge of her
parents, to Frida Eugene Boissevain,
son of a wealthy HOllander, and she
had confessed that she had done the
proposing, repeating the performance
until she had finally won his consent
to become her husband. Her father,
John w. MIlhOlland, was as much
amazed as anybody else.
Marriage Was Happy.
The union was happy. Mr.. BOisse-
vain attended to his large interests.
Mrs. Boisseyain continued to practice
law and to work IN the suffrage cause.
Mrs. Boissevain went to Europe as
delegate on the Ford peace ship, but
left the party at Stockholm because,
as she said in statement, 1.-THE I'M
democratic methods employed by the
managers are repugnant to my prin-
ciples." ...-...

VACCINATION impression
that vaccination is necessary to save
us from smallpox epidemic has been
so insidiousIy disseminated that gen
orally the people have submitted to
it without question.
Recently, however, on the reopen
ing of the schools many objections
have been heard.
The rebeIlious contingent must
have been quite numerous, for at
least one of the big dailies is print
ing some of the ''kicks," which are
based on the fact as alleged that
there is no law to compel children
to submit to inspection and treat
ment by the needles.
The fact is that many, even among
physicians, regard vaccination as a
pollution of the blood, which not only
doesn't prevent smallpox, but makes
the victim of the virus susceptible to
numerous other ailments.
There can be no doubt that the
fear of epidemic disease stampedes
people to blindly accept of so-caIled
science as a drowning man grasps a
straw. Or just as formerly they sub
mitted to be bIed until too weak to
withstand any disease, or to be turn.
ed into a living thermometer by the
use Of mercury, so now people are
herded to take the virus.
Though it is attempted to force
vaccine on even those who hold it in
dread from fear of it's fancied or real
frightful possibilities, it has never
been subjected to the exacting rules

THREE WAYS. - John Smith de-
cides to run for congress on the Re
publican ticket. James Brown de-
cides to run for congress on the
Democratic ticket. Bill Jones de-
cides to run for congress on the So
cialist ticket. All three need cam
paign expenses and endorsement, the
latter of which comes with the con-
tributions.
The first two go to certain owners
of their respective parties and bid for
support. They get their support and,
incidently, certain strings are tied to
them, safe, sane and conservative
strings, that make them fast to their
contributors. They are in the run
ming, brass bands, hot air and all.
The third man goes to the mem
bership of his branch and asks for
the honor. If, after much discus
sion, they decide he is good enough
he is placed in nomination with all
the other nominees of the other
branches in the affected district.
Then a vote is taken on all of them
and perhaps that one man chosen.
When nominated his campaign ex-
penses are paid by the party, his
owners; and certain strings are tied
to him that makes him fast to his
contributors.
The first two have strings tied to
them reading something like this:
Business, profits, to hell with the
people.
