A publication entitled Who's Who
Among Women Lawyers, 1889, and
only recently released in Boston
and compiled by Fiona Hale Cook,
editor-in-chief, includes the biog-
raphy of Miss L. o. Smith, as one
of the attorneys worthy of such
mention.
Miss Smith has been actively en-
gagged in the practice of law in
Minneapolis for the past Is years
and she maintains a well equipped
office at $40 Palace Building. Dur
ing her years of practice she has
handled successfully some out
standing cases, defeating such large
corporations as the Great Northern
R. R. Co., Prudential Life ms. Co.,
and other large insurance COM
panies.
Miss Smith has also won several
important criminal cases and has
won several outstanding cases for
the N. A. A. C. P. Miss Smith is
rated as one of the most able attor-
neys practicing before the Mime
sofa bench, and she is considered
the best woman attorney in the en-
tire northwest. Sometimes one
wonders that such brilliant wom-
an can be kept in the rather small
confines of the Twin Cities.

Speaks AS Citizen

Speaks AS Citizen
Mrs. Roosevelt did not appear be-
fore the conference as a speech
maker. She placed herself at the
disposal of the delegates as an
answerer of questions. Before she
graciously consented to open the
discussions the questions directed
to her involved, she explained that
she spoke, not officially, but mere
ly on her own, and as citizen of
the United States.
The first lady of the land, un-
fiinchingly and with poise and
eagerness sought to clarity all the
involved queries that carried with
them dangerous political and social
implications.
She did not avoid direct discus
sions. When asked for an express
sion on the anti-lynching bill, she
stated positively that she is in ia
vor of such legislation.
Opposes Segregation
She expressed herself as against
segregation and discrimination, de-
claring that the objective of "eco-
nomic security for all" is the one
all people must strive for.
Mrs. Roosevelt was acclaimed
when at the conclusion of her re-
marks she said:
Whatever may be our racial
identities, whether white, black,
Jew or Saxon, we must stand and
work together as one people if
democracy is to survive"
The implication of her remark,
falling on ears, sensitive to ON
inous reports from abroad, was
grasped quickly and translated
into an ovation for the wife of a
fearless president, who in her own
right, commands the admiration
and respect of all liberal citizens.
