Susan B. Anthony is Being Revered
AS One of Three Great EmancipatOrs

she should embarrass the Board Of
Lady Managers of which Mrs. Bertha
Horne Palmer of Chicago was vice
president. by committing them to the
cause of woman suffrage. Mrs.
Palmer. however. showed her the
most distinguished courtesy by in
cluding her in all invitations to both
public and private affairs
Miss Anthony was placed on the
Advisory Council Of the Political and
Economic Congresses. She spoke
several times at meetings where only
the most gifted women were invited
by the board to speak. She was also
asked to speak at the Press Congress
on the day that the religious press,
as a leader of reforms, was under
discussion. The managers of the
meeting asked her how she would
handle the question. Her reply was:
Il shall speak the truth" 1t is in
deed pleasant in these days when we
recall the glories and delights of the
Worlds Fair in Chicago in 1898 to
remember the hOnors bestowed upon
Susan B. Anthony. At all affairs
which she attended her refined and
delicate face shone with beauty and
tranquility far exceeding that Of the
beauty of youth 1t was the beauty
of experiences, sweetened and puri-
fed by appreciation and success.
Worldwide Representation.
When the International Council of
Women at the Worlds Fair in Chi
cago in 1898 convened q countries
and 106 organizations were represent
ed by 525 delegates. Eighty-one meet
ings were held in different rooms of
the Art Palace during the week of
the congress.
The total attendance exceeded
10000 persons and hundreds we're
turned away. The central figure of
this great congress was Susan B. An
thony. Letters of congratulation came
to her from all parts of the world
The Century of Progress Exposition,
or the Worlds Fair in Chicago of 1888
invited the women of America to an
international congress on one COM
mon cause - civilization. The pur-
pose was to concentrate the thinking
of the 700 representative women of
w NUulllAlCo upOAl piODlCllS VI WI lu
moment. and to release that thinking
into action. For the first time in
history women made frontal attack
upon world problems Thirty-one in
f1uential organizations. members of
the National Council of Women, with
membership of approximately five
million. directed their efforts toward
the solution of imminent worldwide
problems.
Result Of Sacrifice.
This is the result of the years Of
labor and sacrifice of Susan B. An
thony and the pioneer women OF the
past. Those who devote themselves
to universal service shall receive i'm
mortal energy. Through inspiration,
soul vision, the great leaders of the
past cut path through the tangled
underwood of old traditions out to
broader ways. She lived to hear her
work called good and brave, but oh
the thorns before the crown of bays.
The world gives lashes to its pioneers
until the goal is reached-then deaf
ening cheers. Truly 1t may be said
of this great woman that she was
one Of the trees of righteousness, the
planting Of the Lord. that He might
