The suffrage question is discussed from
every point of view, beginning when
it was chiefly academic. AS the years
go by it's development is followed into
practical politics and the later volumes
describe the results in the western
states and the effects of womens en-

ton to office, etc. Space is allotted in
the books of 1914 and 1915 to the dis
cussion of a national amendment ana

Through all the early volumes appears
the personality of Miss Anthony. as
many of them were written while Mrs
Harper was in her home and they were
working on the history of woman suf-

For about ten wears before her death
their association was very close. each
assisting the other. a number OF MISS
Anthony's articles also are contal nee
in these books and some which they
wrote together. Mrs. Harper has pre-

When it developed. as a result of

Note of Presentation.

Mrs. Harper, in parting with the
books. gives her motive in brief note
of presentation in which she says:
These scrap books contain con-
siderable part of my magazine and
newspape articles for the past twenty
years. They performed their mission
at he time they were published, and,
like all such ephemeral work, were not
preserved by others in connected form.
Because of their association and their
convenience for reference they possess
a special value for me, but think that
at this time. when there is so much
study of the woman suffrage question.
they should render more general S.arV-
ice For this reason | present them to
the Library of Congress, although with
the feeling of parting from my chill
dren. Aside from the assistance winch
they may offer to students. present and
future, their illustration of the grad :
ual evolution of public sentiment and
the strenuous objections of the OPP
ponents will probably interest and
amuSe.

Breweries Are Transformed

An advertisement now appearing
in Oregon papers marks feature
of the transition of Oregon into the
list of dry" states. 1t shows that
the dollars invested in buildings
formerly used in brewing alcoholic
drinks are now to be employed in
the manufacture of non-alcoholic
drink, the plant at Portland thus to
continue in operation, and the men
who were formerly employed in
making beer are now to devote their
energies in making the new temper
ance drinks. The old Weinhard
plant has been thus transformed, and
the beverages manufactured will un-
doubtedly in large way limit the
shipments OF stronger drinks that
might have been sent in from outside
points.
