note for the equality OF women: he
said: In the administration Of
state there is no difference in men
and men and in women as women
but Socrates in his philosophy and
thought was in advance Of his time,
and for him was the hemlock.
1.-THE women Of today who seek
political acknowledgements, have no
wish to change established customs Of
society, for We are dependent upon
custom for the maintenance of the
state and for our religious forms and
beliefs, but let us be very sure that
the customs we cling to are founded
upon eternal right and justice and not
merely upon prejudice. Some argue
against suffrage because they say the
polls Is no place for women. My
mother said when she was little girl,
no women of position went to the
postoffice, they said the postoffice was
no place for ladies'. 1 heard a woman
in Kenosha who said she was the first
woman in that town to have a bank
book, that her friends looked askance
seems absurd to us now but it was the
custom.
Others who oppose suffrage say the
woman's place Is in the home and we
heartily agree, but she can some
times go away from her home. The
man goes from his store, the horse
from the stable, the machine from the
garage, and yet we know where they
belong. It isn't question between
the vote and the home, if it were there
isn't woman any place but who
would choose the home"
Mru McDnwpll closed with that
beautiful story by Kipling of the first
home and how it was woman who
made 1t and who guarded it's interests
and women who wish to vote, wish the
right OF franchise to guard the home
and it's interests.
Mrs. Jones Brings Greetings.
The program closed with a very In
teresting talk by Mrs. Robert Ralston
Jones, who brought greetings from
the Cincinnati chapter. She told OF
the celebration of Lincoln's birthday,
a public memorial service which the
Cincinnati D. A. RS hope to be in
strumental in making a national Gus
tom. Mrs. Jones was too modest to
say that she planned the meeting i'll
Cincinnati, but some Of the ladies
present knew that she did. The meet
ing was held in historic church with
an address by DR.. Dudley Rhodes.
Many of the Keokuk chapter expressed
themselves as favoring such a meet
ing here next year.
Refreshments were served the
menu including chicken salad, olives,
assorted sandwiches, sailed nuts,
green grape ice and minis.

plauded. They were: 1.-THE Ladies of

Mrs. Mcdowell Speaks.
Mrs. Gerald Mcdowell was then
introduced by Mrs, Elder, who said
she came to us as a D. A. r.. and also
as one on q very special mission to
the women of this city. Mrs. Nc
Dowell's speech was pleasing In every
word and made for her friend in
every woman present.
She said in part: 1T has been said
that no country has ever been willing
to give up It's colonies it is equally
true that no country is willing to give
up fits customs and We hang with
tenacity to our prejudices. and many
men and women have given their
lives for an ideal. Many Of the con-
ditions Of women are maintained from
custom. The women of Turkey are in
harems because men placed them
there, and because they are accustom.
ed to it they are willing to remain
there. The women of China are proud
of their bound and deformed feet be-
cause it Is the custom to have them
So Oriental women wear yelled
faces because it is the custom. The
fashionable women Of a century ago
laced themselves until they were
really deformed and were proud Of
fainting as result and felt that it
was the feminine lady-like thing to
be i'll. All because 1t was fashionable
and the custom.
About revolutionary times when
Brnestine Rose, the young Polish girl,
came to America and 1ectured on civil
government, she was impressed with
the injustice of American women upon
their marriage signing away all OF
their property to their hus bands i'm
mediately upon marriage. Yet In all
the state Of New York she could get
only five signers to a protest which
she proposed to make to the New
York legislature 1t was the custom
and women themselves were at that
time satisfied with the law.
Custom Does Il all.
Recently heard an educated
young man, a native of Turkey, speak
on the life and customs of his coun-
try. and in speaking of the backward
ness Of their civilization, he attrfbut-
ed it to the custom Of keeping the
women in seclusion and made the sig
nificant statement that no country can
rise higher than its women
"In ancient days men kept women
in subsection, he went to war and the
women did the physical labor. In
Homeric times when brute force pre-
vailed, the women were passed from
one soldier to another as chattels,
with no discredtt to the women for It

of the ancient philosophers to sound

Guided the other. Mrs. Hayes and
her husband, in their early days, had
become members of the Methodist
church and took a stand in regard to
social customs not in accord with the
rules Of that church to which they ad-

This was a brave and bold stand, and
showed courage. 1t brought Mrs.

aroused, it finally won them the ad-
miration Of the public.
Was Undergoing Change.
1.-THE public generally was under
going great national change. Every
question in educational, moral and
religious matters, that had been put
aside waiting for the country to be
really at peace, after the civil war,
came up for discussion-woman suf-
frage, temperance, civil service re-
form, currency reform, and above all,
the pacification Of the southern states,
the withdrawal of the federal troops
and end Of the carpet bag govern
ment.' This latter especially aroused
bitter feeling, but was the beginning
of real peace, and from it dated re-
vival of industries which became pos
sible only when the north and south
again co-operated in the governm ent
Throughout these trying times both
Mrs. Hayes and her husband became
known as unprejudiced and interested
in reforms; and although the admin
istration began under very unfavor-
able circumstances, the affairs of the
government were conducted In man
ner that will commend the favorable
Judgment of history, and Mrs. Hayes
extremely tactful manner succeeded
in q large measure in overcoming
much of the bitter feeling that had
been aroused at the time of her hus-
bands election. Great men In this
country have not always been fortu-
nate in being welded to representa-
tive women). But Mrs. Hayes intel
ligence and influence were such that
she lent additional strength to her
husbands administration, and she so
fully identified herself with 1t that his
administration can never De remem-
bered apart from her. She gave mucn
thought to the maintenance and ad-
yancement Of her husbands fame and
name, and she deemed no act too
slight to be considered unimportant II
IT'S results could add to his renown.
She was prepared through her long
experience in official circles. her
intelligence and culture, to fill the
highest place woman can occupy in
a republic. Her entrance into the
white house marks the beginning OF
a new period in the era Of woman. as
she represented the new woman

coming an important social center,
and no mistress of the white house

GRAND OPERA TO BE HEARD All

1t is seldom that the Twin Cities get
any grand opera until the New York,

An undertaking which may be said
to be unique in the annals of musical
life in this country is the formation OF

Ellis of Boston. Mr.. Ellis has been,
for many years, manager of the Bos-
ton Symphony orchestra. He has organ
