Miss Bceks In reviewing the work accom
plished by the National Association &
Woman Stenographers from Its organlzalloi
In Chicago nt Ihe time of the World's Fall
did not forget what had been done at Den
vcr when the Federation of Women's clubi
met ihcro. One of the moat Importani
things done during the past year was th <
establishment of women's business ex
changes In Chicago as employment bureaui
of the woman otenographcrti. She was can
did enough lo pronounce thu ntercantlli
employment bureaus , so called , frauds , ant !
slip eatd the shorthand schools had alst
tome In for n share of attention. However
In Ihu case of Ihe shorlhand schools ther <
Is a prospect of co-operation , though it rnaj
be necessary comcwhat to legislate them
into Hue. Her paper on the business
woman of the present was quite Interesting
Enumerating many of the \otntlons lute
which womc-n have gone she admitted thai
It In becoming more and more difficult foi
a young man to create a home , for she has
brothers herself , but she did not think th'.t
has been duo to 'Ihe Imaslon of man' :
sphere by women. For lhal matter mar
had Invaded woman's sphere by the estab
lishment of weaving and kindred Industries
One great drawback to women embarking
in different branches of business has brer
her fear of losing social caste and in tlili
connection the many subterfuges resortec
to by the women of the south after the re
bellion were dwelt upon. Woman has al
ways been businesslike enough In raatteu
of housekeeping but has lacked commcrcla
knowledge. The great trouble In Ihls coun
try , thought Miss Becks , is lhal the oe\et
do not co-operate In matters of business m
In the case largely in France. She told 01
iVglslatlon favorable lo women both Ir
Europe and in this country. On this poln !
she said.
Thu Code Napoleon made a widow an ac
live partner of her deceased husband's bus
InoSR within one vcnr after his death. Tin
married woman's property act passed In Hng
land twelve or fifteen years ago has ma
terlally Improved woman's condition In Drea
Brllaln. Thp "ntno act has lust bcea passei
in France. It elves to the woman the rlgh
lo her earnings. They cannot bo touc1 c- <
by her hufband. Under the common law i
England he could have her property , ex
cept to will it away , and whfrs the torn
mon law prevails in thhi cuuu'rv the sam
condition exists.
There is onu phase of business womai
which I have not presented to you and tha
Is vour laundress. Do vou realize what i
business woman she Is ? That she Is cdticat
Ing her children that Ihey may not have t
work aa she did that they may bo ladle
and centleraen ? There Is food for much re
flection In Ihls. All honor Is due that woman
but It is a sad state ot IhliiKS that this hard
working woman educates those lads am
lasses to be ashamed of their mother.
W * eUly Wane of Women.
Over 3.000.000 of women are corning In
dependent incomes In the United State ?
New York has 100.000 who earn their owi
living nnd support families. The avcrag
weekly wages of working women In Amer
lean cities is $5.24. Ihe hlchest belne ii
Snn Francisco. $6.1)1. ) and the lowest at At
lanta , $4.05.
However , woman Is ncf lonrer th
drudge , the hewer of wood and bearer o
water : but what does this present condltio :
mean ? Must she lose her home life or wil
matters gradually adjust themselves' Is th
man to remain the crotector and woman th
homemakcr.
H was this closing question which causet
Mrs. Sewall to speak of the Ideal home lifi
nnd somehow Ihls started the dlscusbloi
of the gallantry of men In clavators ant
street cars and the tobacco and gum chew
ing habits. An Ill-natured foreigner hat
said lhat American gallanlry conslstet
mostly of taking off the hat to women , bu
Mrs. Sewall believed American gallantn
was of the heart. In her own town an ordl
nance against expectorating In the street :
was being seriously considered. If 11 passei
Mrs. Sewall believed Indianapolis would become
como a. fit place to live In.
Rev. Anna Shaw complained because mei
when surrendering their seats in slreet can
would not give her an oportunlly to Ihanl
them. Speaking of gum chewing , she sale
quite as many mon as women Indulged li
it. The men did so as a substitute fo
tobacco when they could not use the often
slve weed.
All Siine Amortrn.
There was a little Incident at the evening
meeting which served to exemplify what
seemed to bo a prominent theme of the dis
cussion , namely , patrlollsm. It was Ihi
recognition given to the Hag of the country
By some oversight none had yet appearet
at any of the meetings , although one hat
been arranged for. However , when Its ab
sence was noted in connection with sorni
observations made by one of Ihe speakers ot
the jealousy with which It should bi
guarded and It was promptly brought In ant
Hung out from Iho organ loft , Ihe. whol <
| nudlence arose and , led by Mrs. J. Ellen Fos.
ter of Washlpcton , D. C. , president ot tin
Woman's Republican association of tin
United States , burst forth spontaneously It
the singing of a slanza ot the natlona
anthem , "America. "
The meeting began with a tow words o
greeting from Miss Mary Carty of Toronto
as a representative of the Toronto council
nnd of the Countess of Aberdeen , wife of Ihi
governor general of Canada , who Is thi
president of Ihe International Council , ai
i well as being at the head of Ihe organize !
, womanhood of America. The Countess o
Aberdeen has established a beautiful prece
dent , said Mrs. Scwull. Miss Carty ncknowl
edged the Indebtedness of the women o
Canada to the women of this country , bu
for whom , she declared , Ihere might no
have been any national council there. Thi
work ot the Toronlo council had Included thi
establishment of manual training In thi
public schools , Ihe appointment of womei
m school trustees and one as police matron
Canada Is looking forward to having :
woman's section at Iho Paris exposition am
last week the Countess of Aberdeen ob
Uincd from Ihe minister of agriculture
who Is the Canadian commissioner to Paris
a promise lo place the matter before his gov
eminent. The woman's section would bo litho
the chaigc of Iho national council.
.MIxN Anthony on l"iiinl SnlTrnuo.
Susan B. Anthony came next , as the repre
scntatlvo of Ihe National Woman Suffragi
association. She said :
The suffrage movement stands simply fo
the light of individual expression and fc
the right of each Individual thought to b
registered and counted at the ballot boi
This movement does not stand for any re
form or any charity , nor for any polltlcc
party In politics. Our platform Is e\en broa
enough so that an anti-suffragist could com
and stand 'on it If she only would. Kver
one of the score of associations allied to
gether In Ihls council stands for borne tpe
clal reform for Us particular evil as n specltl
end , but our organization embraces the :
all Inasmuch a * it stands for having th
opinion recorded at the ballot box whethr
It be for or agnlnsl any reform. Hence :
represents , llrsl , the right to have o politic !
opinion , second , the right to express it , an
third , the right to have it deglstered at tti
ballot box. Wo do not belong to any part
or creed but are of all creeds and polltlct
parties. All we ask Is a suffrage amend
ment to the constitution ! ) of the seven
statea of thi" union. To get this we niu :
obtain the aid of men of all political partlc
to put suffrage planks In their platforms an
then to work nnd > ote for them. Wo nri
therefore , beggars at the- feet of every ma
of every party for our right I" vote.
Following Miss Anthony carne Mrs , Fosto
with a strong plea for the principles ani
object of the Women's Republican assoclu
tlon. This association , she- explained , wa
organized In 1SSS to aid the republican pan
by n RChcmn of propaganda ot Its policies
She naltl
We believe In the administration of ou
government by the republican party tts bcs
embodying the trend of constitutional con
structlon and form ot leglslhtlxo enact
ment which In the largest degree dcveloj
the material resources of the country , pro
tect Its Industrial life , make possible wldcl :
cllpfemlnnted educational advantages am
Insure the largest personal liberty compat
I tie with public safety.
Why Tlu-y Arr Itrpnlillcnn * .
Our service to the republican party Is no
conditioned upon Its promises to securu th
ballot for whom or to legislate for tli
many reforms In which we are Interested
Wo most certainly believe lhat leglsUtloi
which embodies the progress of twentletl
century clvlll/utlan la more likely to b
sustained by the party we support than b ;
any other , but wo know also thai any radl
cnl change In Ihe politics ! status of womai
must bo the result of a change in the scntl
mcnls of the people , \\hcn a majority o
all voters , of whatever political creed , In i
state see the Justice of woman's plea fo
polltlcallty and the expediency of grantln ;
It. the dominant party In the state will b
sure to carry out .the people's will.
It in asked , why do we support a part ;
\\hlch does not support our claims ? Ou
answer In , that Ihe ballot Is not the end o
govcrnmcnl ; it Is but a means to an end
All the forces of progress lead women mon
and more to u share in the re
sponRlblllty of self-government and ih
ballot Is sure to come to her. Mean
while republican women believe tha
Iho doctrine of protection to America ]
labor , established by the fathers of ou
country , Washington , Madison and Jefferson
unstained by Cloy and Websler and now de
fended by Harrison nnd McKlnley , Is th
wisest mean of raising a revenue in time
of peace and < i sure system ot prospcrlt :
to our people. Because wo acknowledge th
dignity of labor wo want lo see It pro
tectcd by economic legislation and In till
labor men and women are sharers.
Work of the W. II. f.
The Woman's Relief Corps , auxiliary li
the Clrand Army of the Republic , wai
spoken for by Sirs. Flo Jameson Miller o
Montlcello , 111. , Its president. Since thli
organl/allon first started In Denver , Colo.
In 1883 , she eald , and twenty-five scatterct
organizations had formed the Natlona
Woman's Relief Corps , It has now a mem
hershlp of 150,000 nnd nearly $2,000,000 hai
been devoted to the relief of ex-union Boldlen
and Ihelr dependents , One of Its purpose :
Is to teach patriotism. "We believe , " sail
she , "In having the American flag fly eve
every nchool house and over every publii
building. Today Ihoro are 35,0111 echoo
houstn upon which the flag has been placed
16,302 ! school rooms In which It received Ihi
salute of the children , 1,019 IJcclarallon o
Independence charls have been distribute !
nnd there are 1,250 31 ! ) children who rcpea
every day the loyalty pledge. "
Mrs. Sewall here observed that she hopct
the day would yet como when the womci
woufd not only have something to aa ;
about where the flag shall float but abou
where It shall not , particularly such place
: m tobacco shops and ualoons.
The purposes ot the National Assotlatloi
of Loyal Women of American Liberty wer
set forth by Mrs. I. C , Manchester of Provi
tlcYice , R. I. Among these are absolut
separation of church and stale , no ap
proprlatlon of money for sectarian pur
chases , free and compulsory education , m
sectarianism lo be taught in the schools
restriction ot Immigration and lhat no othe
than Ihe American flag shall fly from pub
He buildings.

Afler this Mrs. Emerine B. Wells o
Utah gave a resume of what is being tlon
by the National1 Woman's Relief society nm
the growth of ils organization even to othe
countries , and then Iho first of the two so
addresses ot the evening was delivered b ;
Mrs. Ellen A , Richardson of Wlnthrop
Mass. , president ot the George Washlngtoi
Memorial association. Her subject > wa
' ' "
"Citizenship and Loyalty. " It was ;
scholarly handling of her theme , contalnlni
a brief historical survey of the growth o
the citizenship idea both in Europe am
this country and embodying alee an argu
ment for the enjoyment of thin cltizenshlj
by women In the fullest sense. During th
course of her address Mrs. Rlchardsoi
spoke of the bequest of Washington for i
national university , xaylng :
It seems astonishing that the will of Wasl ;
Ington should have been forgotten. The lai
act of his life oucht to have been and ougl
still to bo sacred to his countrymen. Thei
Is something sublime In this act of thf ? at
of Mount Vernon , the first prcs'den : of th
republic , providing In his bequest for a BUI
of ruonoy to bo devoted to the founding i
a national university. Exalted clU/enshl
was never more nobly displayed than i
this closing act of his great career , nor cou !
loyalty to the Institutions of the rcpub'l '
bo more fittingly manifested. I repeat tha

he consecrated a part of his estate to tli
founding of a great central Instllutlo" <

assigned to me , but 1 desire to apyoil 1
the National Council of Women for the
sympathy and encouragement In the spooii
cause which I represent. I urge upon th

Mrs. Flo Jameson Mllfer gave the neconi
of the addresses and her subject was ger
mane to that discussed by Mrs. Richardson
Hhe answered the question , "How may Hi
growlh of loyalty bo promoted without de
veloplng nn aristocracy ? " and like the preceding
ceding speaker fihe dwelt upon the valu
of education , not particularly as sugccstei
by the Wat.hlr.gton bequest , but the valu
of popular education In general as a sur
preventive of an arlslocracy in n counlr ;
based upon principles ot equal Indlvldua
sovereignly Involved In a common citizen

"Teach them that to bo an America )

is success ; that every man has a right ti

The seventeenth annual meeting of th
Nebraska State Woman's Suffrage assocla
tlon began in the auditorium of the Firs
Congregational church yesterday afternoon
Mr . Clara Bewick Colby , Its president , pav
a uhort review of the situation In this state
There are twelve branch organizations her
In a more or less flourishing condition.
Mrs. A. J. Marble of Table Rock , one o
the district presidents , gave a brief repor
& ! EO ou the prepress of the movement in hi ,
district.
An announcement was then made bv Mrs
Colby of a business meeting for Ihls morn
Ing In the church , at which now oillerrs ar
to be elected. She reviewed somewhat he
own work In this state for tbo laet blxtem
years but bald us her residence Is now most !
In Washington , D. C. , some other woiubi
would have to bo elected president , Ther
In to be another publlt meeting ot the sUl
association In the church this nftcrnoon
Susan II. Anthony , Emily H. Wells of L't.
and Mrs. Colby are to speak. After IheM
announcements the itnte organization pave
way to the national woman suffragists nml
the principal speakers were Miss Susaa I1
Anthony , the acknowledged leader of the
woman suffrage movement In the country. .
Mrs. J. Ellen Foster of Washington , tht
president of the Woman's Republican awo-
elation of the United States , and Rev. A inn
Howard Shaw. All made Interesting pleat
for equal suffrage , which weie llstenel Ic
by quite n large audience.
Significant motloes were hung about tin
pulpit. One In large dark range Idlers on f
black ground was "Equality Before tht
Law. " Others evidently painted for Ihe oc
casion in black and while were : "Nebraska
should not bo the last western state to dc
Justice to Its women ; " "Taxation without
representation is lyranny , " and "Govern
mcnls derive Ihclr Just powers from thf
consent of the governed , " besides which wort
quotallons from Tennyson , Lincoln , timer-
son and T. W. Hlgglnson construed as favor
able to the movement.
Wlu-ii Ihp .MittrinPtit WHH YOIIIIK.
Miss Anthony talked entertainingly ot the
Inception of the suffrage movement fifty
years ago and of the cam USB ot Iho slate ol
New York a few years after the Seneca
Fa.ls convention made by herself , Mrs ,
Adelaide Brown and the late Mrs. Amellu
Bloomer of Council Blufls. These threi
women had at one time been very much
Interested In mission school work In the
hlum district of Buffalo , a work lhat Mrs
Mlllaid Flllmoro was a sympathizer In , 1ml
th police protection grante-d them by the
mayor cost him a re-election. Then , saltl
she , was learned by her the value of the
ballot lo women. Now suffrage organiza
tions arc In nearly an the states with New
York and Utah standing at the head for n
number of years until last year , when low.i
came to Ihe front. She Introduced Mrs
Ballnrd , the Iowa prealdent , ami the latlei
remarked that the women of her state art
strong in the work of preparation for tht
ballot. She ridiculed the old argument thai
ns women do not fight they should nol
vote , and said they would never make llu
same mistake a male voter , named Ham
Pctorscn , in her state , did , of forgetting
his tight name and calling himself Olt
Olsoti.
Mm ply Isolation.
Mrs. J. Ellen Foster of Washington for-
lowed with an argument In which she con
sidered the suffrage movement simply ,11
evolution of the Idea of popular govern
ment. She deprecated the fact that women
do not study the problenin of government
sufficiently. Having looked at the mallei
from a mother's polul of view she could set
how Ihe probrems of education and tht
liquor traffic made It Imperative for womer
to have the ballot. It n woman be a prop
erty-holder she ought to have a voice Ir
the disposition of the taxes paid by her
The stereotyped objection against womei
going Into politics she met with the dcclaia-
tlon that to participate in the self-govern-
ment of the country Is noble ; that ' then
Is .nothing . bad about right politics. '
Changed conditions due to much of woman' !
work being taken out of her hands uni
being now done by machinery had given hct
a relation to society different from any sht
had previously held. However , the ballo :
would never come to her because It Is hei
right , but it would come wheu the mei
considered It expedient , politically , for theii
own interests to confer it upon her. As It
bail women voting she said that argumcn
impfietl there are more bad than goot
women. The fact I , she declared , the ex
ercise of Bovorelgnty lends to make bat
women gootl. In Colorado the women vott
and politics have -not proved debasing to he :
BCX.
BCX.The
The last epcaker was Rev , Anna Shaw
who indulged In a great deal ot satire at i
religious council , composed of flfty-nlm
learnedbishop , wlilcU , by. 'small major' '
Ity , had decided that woman docs possess ;
soul ; also nt the expense ot the suprcmi
court of Massachusetts and , Incidentally
the United States supreme court , for llnalfj
deciding that woman does have a personal
lly. The present system of government ii
this country , so long as it denies to womei
the elective right , she characterized as i
republican oligarchy. " She was somcwha
sarcastic In her tracing ot political do
velopmcnt , asserting that an Ideal republli
had never yet been realized.

The fair m.inaKorti continued \ > HH the
leading and discussion of papers \rsterday
morning , \\hlih took up nil of thu time ol
the session.
II. J. Hill of Toronto considered the tines-
tlon. "What Can We r > to Establish Uni
formity In Rules of Admission ? " Ho advo
cated the giving of complementary tickets
for one day only and was of the opinion
that better satisfaction was to be gained II
these were not transferable.
Another paper along much the same lines
was read by John M. True of the Wisconsin
State Hoard of Agriculture. His subject
was , "How Can \Ve Ilctlucc the Issue ol
Compllmentarles and Would It He Wlso tc
Abolish the System ? " He said that he waa
In favor of Issuing flee tickets to officials
who by their influence would be able to
render the fair a peed deal of valuable
service. Beyond this ho said that hu was
not In f.ivor of the Indiscriminate scatteiliiK
of passes.
The forenoon closed with the reading of a
brief paper by S. H. Hills of the Ohio Statt
fair on "Tho Fair , the Farmer and the Tom-
munlty at Large. " Ho advocated the main
tenance of n fair for strictly educational
purposes , with no side * show or anything thai
would tend to bo of the uaturo of u "mid'
nay. " These counter attractions , he said
were generally of a demoralizing nature
and did the fair no good as a real benefll
to those who brought thulr exhibits to b <
placed before the public for Inspection
Ho maintained thaV the man age turn
jhould bo able to induce the farm
ers to present exhibits of suf
ficient Interest to the visitors that there
wauM be. no need of these extraneous at
tractions to draw the people.
