 Alice Paul is called by many men and women one of the foremost poltt ; ical thinkers of the genera ton and with all that she is a young woman, bareiy past 90, little and feminine and dainty and naturally retiring. l hear there IS nothing she hates as much as the glare of publicity to which her bril- lfant work for suffrage subjects her. She was a New Jersey girl and a Quaker and graduated from Swarth- more college with the highest honors. She has also studied in London univer sity and Oxford and I understand across the ocean the name of Alice Paul stands for something very real and splendid in the way of scholar ship.
 But she gave up the doctor of phi losophy degree, which she had almos won and the scholastic honors which the old world promised her so enthu- siastically, to throw her splendid strength into the movement for polit- ical freedom for American women. says one who greatly admires her As the head and the soul of the national wom- ans party, Miss Paul is the leader of the young. vigorous wing of the sui frage movement, which is concentrat- ing all it's force in a great demand foi suffrage for women and suffrage for women now.
