THE cows had great time TOO
One Of them felt SO good that

THE milk got to contain a lot

consider as of small importance.
This lethargy on the part Of think
ing women is just as difficult to fight
as any opposition that may come from
politicians or political parties. 1t is
very humorous indeed to look back at
the old days Of the pioneer workers
for women in this country of ours
Handicapped at every turn both by
law and custom. a tiny group OF
women In New York State in 1S49 met
at Seneca Falls and drew up theiy
''bill of rights" 1t bears striking
resemblance in many respects to the
demands of women in many States In
this progressive year of 1922.
But this old document of 1S49 ended
with an indignant protest addressed
to the lethargic women OF New York
whom We are still wrestling with at
the present day; and the words that
Lucretia Mott and Elizabeth Cady
Stanton hurled at their audience OF
1s49 would like to hurl at my audi
ence of 1922:
Resolved, That the women of this
country ought to be enlightened In
regard to the laws under which they
live. that they may no longer publish
their degradation by declaring them
selves satisfied with their present po-
sition, nor their ignorance by assert
ing that they have all the rights they
want"
The New York herald., 1922-07-09

ing the personal and property rights
of women and children.
Fears expressed by opponents of
the blanket bill that women jurors
might be subjected to discomfort or
indignity. were of course groundless.
