From tho Miami, FIa Metropolis,
Jan. 3 5.
"Womon must loam to co-opcr-ato."
Thin quotation from Mrs. William
JonnlngH Aryan's talk at the suffrage
luncheon yestorday best expresses
tho very thing Miami women did do
whon 200 of thorn assembled at the
Groon Tree Inn dining room in the
intorcsts of "ballots for both."
This assemblage, called to honor
Mrs. Bryan, (who rocontly returned
from Washington, whore sho attend
ed tho annual convention of the
National Equal Suffrage Association),
and to honor tho stato suffrage presi
dent, Mrs, Frank Stranahan, was the
Bocond of its kind to be hold in tho
Magic City, and it Is probable that
such a sulTrago luncheon will be an
annual ovont hero. Othor honor
guests to ho Introduced as speakers
woro "Mrs. II. h. Woodburn of Mary
land and Mrs. W. 0. Fletcher.
Tho speakers' tablo was centered
with roses, ferns and American flags,
fotchingly arranged in a bronze bowl.
At this tablo woro soated Mrs'. A. L.
AndriiB, president of tho Miami Equal
Suffrago loaguo; Mrs. William Mark
Brown, who, as chairman of tho so
cial commlttoo, introduced tho speak
ers j Mrs. Bryan and daughter, Mrs,
Richard L. Ilargroaves of Raleigh, N.
0., Mrs. Stranahan, Mrs. Woodburn
and Mrs. W. G. Flotcher.
Playing hor own accompaniment,
Mrs. F. M. Hudson sang "Keep tho
Homo Firos Bun ng," sang with
such fooling that all woro deeply im
pressed. As an oncpro (for of courso
W oncorod) sho sang "Don't
Cry, Litllo Girl." This was the first
number on tho program, the second
foaturo, coming in company with des
sort and coffoo, being an opening ad
dress by Mrs. A. L. Andrus. The
two-fold purpose of the luncheon, to
honor Mrs. Stranahan and Mrs. Bry
an, and to rojoico over the splendid
victory on January 10, was explained
by Mrs. Andrus. Sho continued with
a briof history of suffrage in America,
mentioning a number of tho leading
suffragis s. Later in tho afternoon
Mrs. Andrus commented upon tho in
teresting decorations, which consisted
chiofly in suffrago postors, pennants
and tho stato suffrago banner.
Mrs. William Mark Brown com

said hor now parasol was her dearest
possession but her greatest responsi
bility. Sho proved to be a clover and
gracious toastmistress.

Mm, Woodburn Makes Impression
The war as woman's opportunity
constituted tho subject of Mrs. Wood
burn's talk. She said that the early
man looked upon his muscles of steel
and upon the delicate flesh of woman
and took by force what ho wanted.
Ho wrote over woman "Thou shalt
not" find marie miirht make ritrht. and
has been talcing what he wanted ever
since.
"If women had voted, would the
war have taken place?" Mrs. Wood
burn asked. "Yes. Civilization
would not have been enough for the
German man. Tho German women
are trained and developed along the
same linos of brutal force that the
German men are and if left to them,
thoy would not have prevented the
war." Among her concluding re
marks was the following: "Man's
war of blood tho killing of the
body is passing. The time will
comewhon wo wifl fear not him that
killeth tho body but him that kllleth
tho soul. Woman's war will be
waged against white slavery, condi
tions social, conditions political and
conditions peculiarly connected with
woman's work."
"The men have worked 12 years
to make William Jennings Bryan
president; but I don't believe it would
take tho women 12 years to make
Mrs. William Jennings Bryan presi
dent." This remark,' made by Ivlrs.
Woodburn, was greatly applauded by
the 200 women present.
Mrs. Brown's Comments
Before introducing Mrs. Bryan,
Mrs. Brown gave the following facts:
"Lincoln once said that this republic
was founded on tho rule of 'root hog
or die,' and women are no less
amenable to that principle than men
The theory that it is man's function
to provide and women's to be shel
tered is a living lie. Sometimes man
provides and sometimes he does not

Mrs. Bryan continued with an ac
count of the national suffrage con
vention, and some of her experiences
as "a lobbyist and national suffrage
worker. "Perhaps the most interest
ing tingle session of the convention
was hold when New York women told
how they carried New York. Each
woman who spoke emphasized the
same point 'organize, organize, .and
again' organize.' They had button
holed people, organized clubs, had
gone to almost every office, and had
done everything that could be done.
"Militant suffrage has always. ap
pealed to me in one way. I was al
ways pleased and delighted with their
ability to think up things." Mrs.
Bryan continued with humorous an
ecdotes, and examples of the splen
did organization in New York. Es
pecially humorous was her account
of a reception which she attended in
Washington, and her clever imper-
sonations. "And now," finished Mrs.
Bryan, "having said everything f
think Mrs. Andrus told me to say, I
want to add one or two things on my
own account." These things consisted
)f some of the experiencesof the suf
fragists at Tallahassee when the suf
frage amendment was before the
Florida legislature, and of 'the. splen
did work done by Mrs. Stranahan.
"Men are like the forces of evil
which unite and women are like the
forces of good which divide,'' Mrs.
Bryan concluded. "Women divide and
split hairs instead of standing togeth
er. Women must learn to co-operate.
They must carry a le3a Pharisaic at
titude. Men recognize a great.broth
erhood and stand by each 'Oilier, Wo

"I couldn't serve as a juror, judge;
one look at that feller convinces me
he's guilty." "Sh-h -that!s the at
torney for the state." Passing Show.

that tho suffrngist will bring with her
sweet gifts, puro from every taint of
greed and selfishness," sho said.
Mrs. Strminhnn Talks
Tho seeming indifference of Tampa
at tho timo tho suffrago convention
was hold thoro constituted a part of
Mrs. Stranahan'a talk. Quoting Mrs
McAdoo, sho said, "It is a wonderful
thing in these days of world crises to
be an Araorican citizen." "Some
day." sho said, "it will bo possible to
look back to this time when history
is in tho making and say, 'Verily it
was good to bo alive then, and to' be
young it was heaven.'
"I think it especially wonderful to
be a woman citizen, because America
Itas a great part to play and women
are being given for tho first time the
her at tho very hour of her creation."
"Organize" Says Mrs. Bryan
"It is a great pleasure for me to
bo here today," Mrs. Bryan said. "I
can't think that you came just to
honor me; however that may be I
am pleased to see so many Aid
friends here and after adjournment
I m going out in the lobby and I wish
Tmiiil;0ml and Shake hands becase
I miBhtnot see you again this year."
Right here Mrs. Bryan told of her
difficulty in finding time to prepare
a talk to give to tho women at the
luncheon. Tho Lord had not smiled
on her efforts, she said. Mr. Brytn
was burned when he turned the gas
of their heater on full, "and so the
