Shall The Southern Women

Shall

To the Editor of the Advocate:
The daughters Of the old line state
will be voters before their sisters in
certain northern states are enfran-
chised, and they will owe their free
dom to the fact that the arbiters of
their political destiny are native sons
of Maryland. In the northern states
large numbers of voters are not ma
tives, and they have the reputation of
opposing freedom for women on the
pretense that political liberty will
make wives less submissive.
In the south an idea is not COM
mon. Shall the women of the south
become the political equals of the
free women of the west or shall they
remain what they are-political non
entities? Of the 4S states in the
Union eleven have a government by
the people, and 81 are man-suffrage
states. Of the II democracies
Wyoming is the only one in which
woman suffrage was written into the
original constitution and adopted
when the constitution was adopted
In Arizona, Idaho, Montana, Nevada
and Utah women were given the vote
the first time the question was sub
mltted to the electorate, in California
and Colorado women won the vote
upon the second submission of the
question, in Kansas and Washington
on the third, and in Oregon on the
sixth. Prejudice dies hard, but that
it does die these II equal suffrage
states are living witnesses. Suffra-
gists never take vacation, and sooner
or later this Nation will have a gov
eminent by the people,

evening with Mrs. Lynn Fullam. The
motto for the evening was:
e" IT'S always morning somewhere, and
above
The awakening continents from shore
to shore.
Somewhere the birds are singing ev-
erywhere."
A very interesting paper was given
on The Value of Birds to the Farm, by
Mrs. j. w. Collins. Mrs. Collins has a
fine opportunity for the study of birds
on the farm, as her home is located
above the village, where all forms of
bird life are seen in abundance Sew
eral very interesting incidents were
given of bird life and their habits from
personal observation. Mrs. Fullam had
several specimens of birds, which in
creased the interest in the subject. The
exercises were interspersed with music,
both vocal and instrumental. This with
the current events made the meeting
a social success and instructive.
