WITH c0nGRESSnEM

Ey action Of the Equal Suffrage
League Of Richmond in recent open
meeting, the following letter 81 pro-
test has been sent to the Virginia
United States senator's and the rep
resentatives In congress from the
Third district:
We, the members of the Equal Suf-
rage league of Richmond. citizens Of
your state, II not your constituents,
have noted with regret your persistent
unfriendliness to the enfranchisement
OF women We feel that your vote
against the federal woman suffrage
amendment II contrary to the prin-
cip1es OF democracy.
We. regret that the legislature Of
Virginia has three times refused to
submit the woman suffrage issue Ito
the voters of the state, and we feel
that we are acting upon our consti-
tutional rights In seeking our enfran-
chisement by the federal suffrage
method. the same road travelled by
prohibition and the direct election Of
senator's
I'VE wish furthermore to tell you
that In this hour Of our victory we feel
keenly the indignity put upon the
women OF Virginia by your adverse
vote
I'VE shall tight for the things which
we have always carried nearest to our
hearts-for democracy. for the right
OF those who submit to authority to
have a voice In their own govern
ment"

tendance at tts meetings, 10 sttll as
sembling regularly each week and is
making considerable Roadway In the
gathering of material for the volumes
that will give the story OF the states
participation in the great war.
The latest and perhaps the most
notable paper to be added to the coI-
lection is the story Of the Eightteth
division. the Blue Rirde men from the
mountains OF Virginia. West Virginia
and western Pennsylvania This has
just been contributed by Liuetenant-
Colonel Jennings C. Wise, the his
torian of the division. and valued
member of the commission.
Colonel Wise In his paper shows the
historic fitness OF this grouping. He
says: The forefathers Of these men
OF Virginia and Pennsylvania fought
side by side In the continental RAINY
OF the revolution, and later together
had borne the brunt of the war Of
1919"
He traces to their traditional asso-
Citations and says. Indeed the
traditions of Fort Duguesne, York
town, the Shenandoah and Petersburg
were common heritage to the men
OF the division. no less than the ira
dttions of the early period of Aneri-
can colonization when the hills and
valleys Of the Blue Ridge section were
seized from the savage by the sturdy
pioneers OF Virginia and Pennsyl-
vania"
1t lis not alone the story Of the
units that Is coming to the commits
sion. Returning soldiers are taking
great interest in the individual cues

by the commission and sent to camps
and countries While it is hardly to
be anticipated that all individual

Efforts are now making to create
