To Honor Women.

The active participation Oh Woneh
in the recent world war, and the
subsequent change of mind that has
been wrought by this expansion Of
women's sphere. is reflected in the
nomination of Barbara Fritchie, the
heroine OF Whittier's poem, for a
place among the other noted Ameri-
cans. Her name has become to
American women what Joan of Arc
Is to the French, an ideal, and her
election is being urged by many
groups of women who did service for
the country in the war.
Susan b. Anthony, the pioneer
worker for woman's rights, Is another
whose name is being urged upon the
electors as a possible candidate for
place in the Hall of Fame.
A new sidelight on the early colo
NAL history of the country is brought
forward to back the candidacy Of
John Clarke. II is contended that
Clarke was the founder of the COM
monwealth OF Rhode Island.
Contradicts History.
History tells that Roger Williams
was the creator of this smallest or
states, but the contention of those
who nominated John Clarke, claim
this honor for him, and admit that
the accredited founder was the lead
ing figure in Rhode Islands history
after the founding.
} Three artists, all of the same school
and noted for their landscape paint
ing. have been placed in nomination
by collectors and amateurs in the per-
sons of George Inness, Homer d.
Martin and Alexander II. Wyant.
Among other prominent personages
of past history who were presented
for the honor were included Henry
Bergh. the friend of dumb animals,
philanthropist and founder of the
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Animals; and Drs. Titus NJ. Coan,
John Murray Carnochan, Lewis Henry
Morgan and William Shipper, Jr.
