Smile and the world smiles with you
Knock and YOU go it alone.
For the cheerful grin
Will let you in
Where the knocker is unknown.
Growl, and the way looks dreary
Laugh, and the path is bright;
For the welcome smile
Brings sunshine. while
A frown shuts out the light.
Sigh. and you rake in" nothing,
Work, and the prize is Won;
For the nervy man
With backbone can
BY nothing be outdone.
Hustle! and fortune awaits you;
Grumble, and things go wrong,
And all the time
You are out of rhyme
With the busy. busting throng.
Knock, and there's trouble brewing,
Whistle, and life Is gay,
And the worlds In tune
Like a day in June
And the clouds all melt away.

plause.
1.-THE Maine Grange stands squarely
pledged to equal suffrage for women.
The arguments in favor Of this reform
have been presented so many times and
are so conclusive that It seems unnec-
essary to go into the matter In detail
at this time. Thinking people have
arrived at the place where they can
see no valid reason why this amend
ment should not be submitted to the
people and legislators who will allow
politics or personal bias to influence
them in their decision and who will
not represent their constituency by
listening to this insistent call are I'm.
worthy servants of the people.
This injustice to woman has been
tolerated too long and I predict that
this legislature will vote to submit
this amendment to the voters Of the
state for their decision. Women who
have done SO much to make and mould
the character Of our boys and girls.
who have contributed to municipal and
state treasures for their education
who 'have been such a potent force in
bringing better conditions are entitled
from the stand of justice to the bal
lot. 1t is said that women do not
want and would not exercise this priv
ilege If 1t were given them. Statis-
tics from states and municipalities
where suffrage is granted women prove
the fallacy of this contention and after
q heated state wide campaign in Maine
the returns showed that only seventy
per. cent of the electorate went to the
polls and it was estimated that thirty

Mrs. John r. A. Merrill
"As president of the Maine Associa-
ton Opposed to Woman's Suffrage !
feel It my duty 10 enter as strong
protest as possible against the passage
of a resolve which would refer 10 tho
vote of the people Of this State the
question OF woman suffrage.
II ami convinced that IN this protest
I represent the great majority or
Maine, and that our suffrage friends
have given no figures to contradict the
assertion that the great majority OF
Maine women are either Indifferent or
actively opposed to the idea OF voting
and holding political ONCE.
IF this is the case gentlemen. and
we firmly believe Il TO he. so there II
no real demand from the women OF
your State that this added burden be
laid upon their shoulders and certain
" the men Of Maine have never dis
played the least desire TO impose un-
necessary and undesired burdens upon
their women.
"On the contrary. Maine men have
increasingly watched over and safe
guarded their women and although we
believe that they would consider n
their duty to further protect their wo-
men by defeating suffrage at the polls
next September, we also believe that
as there is no general demand for such
a popular vote It Is the duty Of every
man in this legislature regardless Of
party lines to vote against submitting
this amendment to a referer dunn.
"Our suffrage friends have stated
the great number they have enrolled
in the Maine Suffrage Association.
then they tell us the W. C. T. L. has
endorsed suffrage with it's member
ship Of 5000 women; also they say the
State Grange and the Federation Of
Women's Clubs and that all OF these
figures should be added 70 give us the
grand total Of those who are opposed.
