Congratulate Themselves on

Chicago, Nov. 1.-The Hughes wo-

day and at o'clock the campaigners
left their train to be met by a large
crowd of women who escorted them
thru the loop district. Several noon
meetings will be addressed by the wo-
men speakers on the train. Late to-
day the train will leave for tie east
but many of the women will remain
behind to campaign in Illinois
'sThe train has been splendid piece
of work politically" said Mrs. Ray
mond Robins today. TT has really
changed votes because we have set the
people thinking by the facts we pre-
scented. We explained the Adamson
bill, the Danbury hatters case, we
stood up under heckling, and we al
ways gave unanswerable facts.
1.-The significance of the trip is that
everywhere we were met by women
organized in a political cause. The
committees in every town were COM
posed of women who have done some
thing. They were doctors, lawyers,
clubwomen, educators and working
women. 1t marks the entrance of wo-
men into national politics"

DIES IN HAPPINESS.
Woman, Slave of Liquor, in
Last Stages of tuberculosis.
Nursed Son and Now Follows
Him to the Grave.

Whisky has just one more "kick'
for Nan Ewing. 1t kicked her into a
life of shame and today its kick sent
her to the city tubercular sanitarlum-
At an early hour this morning DR.. H.
L. Clark, city physician, called at a
squalid hovel at First and Adams
street, gathered a coughing, hacking
ghost of a woman into his arms and
carried her to a waiting ambulance.
1t will kick her into the grave in a
few days.
Two days ago Nan Ewing, a police
character for years and given credit
by the police for drinking more whisky
than any woman in Topeka, sent a
friend Tor a minister. There, sur
rounded by the squalor of home
wrecked by John Barleycorn, she
pleaded for forgiveness and asked the
minister to pray for her. The next
day the city physician stated that her
days were numbered and she would
have to be removed from the unsani-
tary surroundings.
A Mothers Love.
Its all right" she. muttered. IT
don't feel that deserve to stay in any
place better than here"
But those who know her life. realize
that for two years she was all that a
woman should be. 1t was mother
love that five years ago caused Nan
Ewing, even then a slove to drink, to
cast OlI the SlldCh1tS ana ddJ
and night a son afflicted with the
same disease that she has now.
From the day that her son with
narrow chest and a wicked cough en-
tered her home after years Of absence,
Nan Ewing became a mother, such as
the world desires, until his death.
Liquor had all her money and had
robbed her of a constitution to with
stand disease. But a will, no one
dreamed of, strengthened by a moth
er's love, transformed her into a real
woman, who turned her only bed over
to the son while she slept on the floor,
ready day and night to attend to his
wants.
1t Was Too Late.
But the grip of the terrible disease
was too firmly planted. Day by day
the mother saw her son cough his life
away, the same as she is doing today.
Finally he died.
Nan Ewing two weeks later was
back IN her old haunts. She has been
a police character ever since until the
great white plague got firm hold and
placed her On bed of rags.
Nan Ewing came here from the east,
she admitted to Doctor Clark. Her
father and mother were honest, Chris
tan people, she stated. Other than
that she refused to give a history of
her early life.
