Suffrage Breakfast Yesterday.
The suffrage breakfast given yes
terday at Hotel Granite by the wom-
en- OF Hamilton, was most delight
full affair socially, and marked the
third Fourth OF July which they have
celebrated as citizens. The women
were seated at one long table beau
tifully decorated in flowers in red.
white and blue. The place cards
were in the national colors and on
the center pillar of the dining room
was handsome American flag. A
delicious menu was served and the
hour pf the breakfast was half past
nine o'clock.
The Rev. Miss Eleanor Gordon
presided as toastmistress in a very
gracious manner. The program open
ed with q song by Mrs. Hosford,
who sings Scotch songs particularly
we'll. She sang suffrage song set
to the tune OF Coming Through the
Rye, and responded to an encore. A
half dozen women who were present,
Mrs. Robert Wallace, Mrs. Roger
Gordon. Mrs. Charles Marshall, Mrs.
A. B. Agnew, Miss Jennie Hawkes.,
Miss Valentine Dadant, each told a
story or an incident pertinent to the
suffrage question. Mrs. Vestal gave
the seven stages OF becoming a suf-
fragist. The women of Iowa will par
ticularly enjoy these stages because
they saw scores OF women converted
to suffrage in exactly these stages:
First-"It doesn't interest mel"
Second-"I really don't care wheth-
or women get the vote or not!"
Third-'Tt,s most amusing how
much those suffragists care about
such a little thing!"

Mrs. Winona e. Reeves spoke on
How We Did Mot Get the Vote in,
Iowa.
Miss Gordon in closing. said: "We
are in the second century of our
living under the Declaration of In
and under our federal
constitution which in ell solemndty
declares this nation to be q democ-
racy. It is not at all a democracy, it
is only half democracy and the
principle of equality Is very far
from being true. Some one once
asked q learned Boston divine is
christianity a failure?' and he an
swered, 4 don't know, am sure. It's
never been tried And so we must
not grow pesSmistic as to whether
or not democracy is a failure, Tor
it's never been tried. In the recent
vote in Iowa on the suffrage amend
ment, and in eastern states where
the question has recently been voted
upon, it is a marvellous TACT that
many foreign born citizens and many
colored people voted against giving
the franchise to women. Foreign
men who come TO America, asking
for liberty, equality and fraternity.

chise to women and our system al
