! The woman's party. which has

! for Woman Suffrage, organized in
| 1913 by Alice Paul and Lucy Burns,
! then, respectively, chairman and vice
chairman of the congressional COM
l
| Woman Suffrage Association. to sup
port the work of the committee for
the federal, amendment, is dedicated
to the purpose of working for the VIC
! torious conclusion of the entire cam
paign of "women's rights" inaugu-
by Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucre-
, tia Mott and carried on to the end of
her life by Susan B. Anthony.
The women who met at Seneca
Falls, N. Y, in 1898. demanded all
that the most radical women have
since claimed-equal rights in the uni
versities. in the trades and protest
sions. the right to vote, to share in
all political Offices honors and emolu-
ments, to complete equality IN mar
riage, to personal freedom, equal
rights in control Of property, wages,
! and be sued, and to testify in courts
of Justice.
Only One Part Complete.
only one part Of that campaign
| the struggle for the vote-has been
successfully completed" said Miss
Paul in a recent statement
To-day in drafting a new declara-
ton Of rights women have to face the
following facts:
Women do not yet have equal
| rights in the universities. trades and
professions. Even in certain state
universities supported by funds of
men and women. women citizens are
, not admitted on the same terms as
men. Women do not yet have equal
rights In office holding. In many
states they are excluded from certain
| Offices and also from jury service.
Women are, not yet legally en-
| titled to complete equality in mar
! riage. Married women do not yet
| have control over their own property
| In many states"
But while a woman's bill Of rights
/ drawn up this year might not be
| worded very differently from the
| declaration of sentiments" composed
at Seneca Falls seventy-four years
ago, the circumstances and surround
| ings will be different indeed.
Instead Of meeting in a little Wes-
| leyan church. hooted and derided by
the press and most of the leaders Of
that day. women will meet>next Sum-
! day to dedicate to the service of
women a great national headquarters,
| purchased by women, operated by
| women and, to be used for women.
