taken from the History of Labor in the

"One of the earliest pleas for equal suf-
fragc in this country WAS made by Della
ware working men. In report on the
revision of the State Constitution present
cd to the Association of Working People
of New Castle county, early in 1881 they
urged that the right of suffrage be extend

"Wc apprchend," said the authors of
this report. that IL would be no easy task,
at this more advanced part of the march
of mind, to maintain the ground that WAS
assumed, in excluding females from the
right of voting at the polls. This interest
ing portion of the community comprises n
fair moiety Of our population Wherefore
should they be denied the immunities of
free menf Does anyone deem that their
interference In public affairs would he

would we pretend to measure their
capabilities for Judging correctly in rela-
tion to lf-govcrnnent2
Let us reflect that n has not been
considered commcndable to give their
attention to those subjects. Let data be

influence or the salutary effect of their

MOVE BAPTIST
CHURCH SITE
Property at Market Street and
Madison Avenue is Sold by
the Congregation.
GET CITY HALL SITE
Old Smith Estate at Corner OF
Market and High Streets
Purchased for New Church
GET CITY HALL SITE

The First BAPTIST church. which
purchased the property on the SOUTH
east corner of Madison avenue and
Market street about four years ago
for the erection of new church, has
sold this site and purchased what Is
known as the old Smith estate, sit
uated on the southwest corner of
Market and High streets in City Hail
Park. The consideration involved In
either sale has not been made public.
When the Baptist church sold their
old Fayette street edifice 1t was with
the intention of building a large
structure at Madison avenue and
Market streets. The cost of building
materials mounted to such a prohib-
tive price at that time that even aft
er the plans had been prepared it
was decided that it would not be
wise to go ahead with the work.
Instead of putting up the proposed
building the war church" was built
"a small affair large enough to
serve until conditions would permit
of the building of larger church as
originally planned.
The property owned by the Bap-
tist church proved to be in a location
desired by several local men and fin
ally an agreement was reached with
Max Gibian and Harry Brewer. both
of this city. for its sale. Before the
church decided to sell their Madison
avenue site they secured an option
on the City Hall property. The plot
which Gibian and Brewer have pur-
chased has a frontage of 80 feet on
Market street and 157 feet on Madl.
son avenue. The war church" Itself
is not included in the purchase price,
and the church has an option of oc-
cupying the property for two years.
The parsonage was sold but an op-
zion for the rent of this was also OBJ
tanned.
The new site in City Hall park has
1872 feet frontage on High street and
IT'S feet on Market street. The house
now situated on this property is one
of the oldest in the city, it having
been built in 1892, according to re-
liable reports. Harry Conrad repre-
sented the Smith estate.
The Baptist congregation will con-
tinue to worship in the war church"
until they build ON their newly ac-
quired site. 1t is not known when the
actual construction of new church
will start.

RED CROSS WORK IS STILL
UNFINISHED, SAYS FARRAND

WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.-"The
Red Cross comes to its fourth roll
call with it's war task still unfinish-
ed" said DIR. Livingston Farrand,
chairman of the central committee
in a statement urging enrolment in
the relief society during the fort
night beginning on Armistice Day,
II.
Never were the world and ma
tional needs so pressing and the cor
opportunities for service
so great" declared DIR. Farrand.
1T is only too evident that the world
has not been able even to approach
reestablishment after the war.
stare us in the face in Europe and
the Red Cross is carrying on to the
extent of it's resources in an attempt
to answer the call to help. How
permanent and far-reaching that
answer shall be depends upon the
minds and the conscience of the
American people.
"At home the wounded and sick
soldiers and sailors in hospitals and
elsewhere are still numbered by the
thousands. The Red Cross cannot
demobilize it's forces organized to
stand by those who gave their best
for their country and extend what
aid and comfort may be possible.
IAN attempt to build up the health
of the country, which is the out
standing feature of the peace pro-
gram of the Red Cross, in taxing the
energies of the organization. De-
mands for visiting nurses come from
every corner of the United States
and every effort is being made to
supply that need, the filling of Health
is vital The organization of Health
Centers is opening up a new concep-
ton of community welfare every
where.
Home service is still a necessary
function of the Red Cross, for there
are thousands of families of soldiers
and sailors which are still in need of
friendly counsel and relief. The Red
Cross IS organizing and standardiz-
ing it's capacity for disaster relief.
SO that there shall be in constant
readiness a trained organization
ready upon a moments notice to
carry it's work of mercy anywhere.
