My dear Mrs. Jeffrey: Seriously, not withstanding my general insanity and stiff neck, I do want a picture of you for use next week. If you haven't one won't you have a little one taken? The important thing is to have a white background. Please do, and send it to Miss Hourwich. I am enclosing a brief write-up for your approval. I have sent duplicates to Miss Hourwich for publicity work and unless you wish to make any changes she will use this life story of you as given. Do you know Mrs. Marks personally? In any case, would you please go to her, or telephone if you think that is satisfactory, as soon as possible and tell her that the Boston American is about to begin a tremendous suffrage campaign which they will continue until the amendment is passed in the Senate and ratified by the states. One of the most important features that they are planning is signed editorials by noted woman suffragists. Of course we want one from Mrs. Marks very much. It may be 400 or 500 words. If she will give me an idea of what aspect of suffrage she will deal with it will help me in suggesting subjects to other people. Will you also get a story from her, unless you know the facts sufficiently yourself, that can be used with her picture in next week's publicity work? In any case I am counting on you for everything "Marksian". Very sincerely Eunice B Armstrong State Press Chairman. EBA/L P. S. Will you also do a write-up of the Mrs. Whitney about whom you spoke, as I lost the paper on which I had notes about her, and send it also to Miss Hourwich. Would you please send me her address and tell me what work you think she would do for us. We want a few humorous squibs to send to the Don Marquis column; we want letters regarding the amendment, pro and con, if possible to start a controversy, send to the various letter forums in the paper. Can you give me suggestions for topics for the suffrage editorials? I should be most grateful. I have thought of the historic aspect, war aspect, and democracy aspect, children, women work. Equal Suffrage. Mr. Ederd Jeffrey We are asking men who are going to vote on this question to clear their minds of the fog of conservatism and prejudice to stop and [think how] remember the Golden Rule that they may do unto women, as were they in women's place and women in man's place, they would most assuredly have women do unto them. Out of the words used to alarm the conservative and make them apprehensive of Equal Suffrage is [that] the term feminism, -a word of [???] vague and varying inport [that is] as the word evolution. In Persia, feminism is the demand for education; In Turkey, it is an attempt to unveil; In many European countries it is the struggle women are making for better conditions of marriage than those which rob them of property rights and children. In still more advanced civilizations it is the movement to obtain the ballot. In each case it is the next (2) step for women along the [line] path of progress. Every objection that is made to E. S. today on the score of the harm it is going to do women, may be matched by a similar objection (in these less advanced countries [mentioned] or in our past) against letting girls go to school or mothers having any legal right over their children. In short, the Woman's movement is here to stay. It is not the work of a few faddists. It is a perfectly logical phenomenon born out of the fulness of time and the larger mind of the world and under the most divine circumstances, participated in by rich and poor by learned and unlearned, by the young and the old. In this country, especially it has no obscure origin. Back (3) in the day before the war, Wendell Phillips, Julia Hand Horne, Emerson and our own townsman, [?]. N. [Higginson?] with many others staunchly advocated votes for women even before their oratory roused the nation to the need of freeing the slave [abolishing slavery]. Today not only from those 12 states where women are actually voting - while we still theorize over it- is there overwhelming testimony from men & women of national prominence that W. S. has been of great value to the community but statesmen, educators & the clergy, [and] all over the U.S. are pronouncing themselves in favor of it. That is, the call for women to exercise the franchise [for?] the best interests of the nation is almost as strong as woman's own plea for the ballot. (4) And woman's plea is on moral grounds. To most women, the world is a moral battlefield & the enemies to be overcame are those that beset society, industrial, social and [political?] legistative. Up to the present, her chief concern outside the home has been with the wreckage made by these enemies of the home and the state. She, who opened the gates of life and ushered sons & daughters along the highway as far as her hovering watchful ness permitted had to turn [at middle age] all the [ripeness] richness of her experience, all the ripeness of her judgement [into] to the administering of charities, to visiting the sick and caring for the widow and orphan. She would have had to be blind not to come finally to the realization 4a that much of this misery was preventable, that for society in the one hand to license drink and the social evil with all their attendant abominations on the pretext of revenue, while with the other .hospitals, inebriate asylums, homes for the blind and crippled & orphaned, had to be paid for out of the honest mans's poket - was a folly as stupid as colossal. It was then that to most women came the sense of helplessness, of endlessly administering the power of cure while they were deprived of the [ou??e] of [correction] prevention. It was then that they felt that good men needed good women's help in electing honest officials & enacting 5 just legislation. I think the sense of the ballot being ours by right is very secondary to this idea of helping. The ballot is the symbol of [political] human freedom but it is also the symbol of human responsibility. For that reason [the] Mrs. [?enge's] statement that problems of sort belong to men, while problems of education, religion, & the moulding of public opinion belong to women, seems to me self-contradictory. Aside from the selfishness of women appropriating the pleasant fields of learning of the virtuous satisfaction of being good, we cannot [forget that] be either wise or truly spiritual if we shirk our responsibility for wrongs anywhere. Perhaps, to be quite fair, the lady meant 6 that women are not politically minded. [There] In that case, facts do prove that where women vote, they do not seek office - being content to elect as their representatives, men of good character. Even Mr. Lewis, the [prominent] writer of an anti suffrage pamphlet concedes this in [writing] mentioning [of] Colorado. "Since the extension of the franchise to women, political parties have learned the inadvisability of nominating drunkards, notorious libertines, gamblers, retail liquor dealers, and men who engage in similar discredited occupations, because the women almost always vote them down." Lest any woman should shrink from possessing the ballot for fear of being thrust into office, I might [state the] quote reassuringly from a candidate for governor who tells me one never needs to fear being hunted down & crowned with civic or state office. It is a quest one pursues [not.] & pursues hard. Let us give one glance 7 however at the justice of woman suffrage. If ever our opponents concede our[s] province is to mould public opinion, - ie[l] is fair to deny the only potent expression of that opinion to those so well-informed. In brief, if a boy reaching 21 is granted the ballot without any query as to how he will use it or whether it will take him away from his business or mar his masculine charm or make him a less worthy husband, - given [politi?] the badge of [polis?]. freedom simply because he is grown-up - is it just to deny the ballot women of even greater maturity and intelligence, [or] [t?] ask them similarly worded questions. Look at the state as if it were a business [inst??] enterprise & calculate your losses. One one side On the other [?e] Facts like these have led Thomas Edison to say that equal suffrage is partly a question 8 of good morals & partly of elimination of waste. For we have waste always before us. No govt on earth is more extravagantly administered than our U.S. & we are beginning to talk a good deal of conserving our natural resources. But human conservation hasn't yet received as much attention. We tolerate still child labor and long factory hours for women and children, and overcrowded schools with their menace to health of the half-time school with the consequent temptation to children running the streets. These, all these, are questions in which women even more than men are vitally interested and yet they are left voiceless. Isn't it absurd to give us education, to CAMBRIDGE POLITICAL EQUALITY ASSOCIATION EXECUTIVE OFFICERS President Mrs. Lewis J. Johnson, 90 Raymond St First Vice-President Mrs. Edward C.

Ray State SUFFRAGE PROGRESS What Has Been Accomplished by the Women in States Where the Vote Has Been Granted. Editor Cambridge Tribune: In an editorial last week you suggested that in the midst of much argument some statement of the progress of equal suffrage today, and its working efficiency where tried, might be helpful and convincing. May I ask space briefly to narrate these facts? Nine states in our United States have granted complete suffrage to women on the same terms as to men. These are Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, Idaho, Washington, California, Oregon, Kansas and Arizona. As the last three mentioned have only recently (Autumn, 1912) brought women into the electorate, while California has had but a year to prove her use of this privilege, and Washington but two years, we should look to the four states where equal suffrage has long been in practice to get reasons for or against the movement. Wyoming was the first commonwealth in the world to give complete suffrage to women, in 1869, while still a territory. When Wyoming asked to be admitted to statehood congress debated hotly for days together the wisdom of bringing a state into the union, if it meant bringing women into the electorate. The Wyoming legislature, made up entirely of men, sent this ultimatum to Washington: "We will remain out of the union a hundred years rather than come in without woman suffrage." There spoke true chivalry! In 1893, three years after Wyoming, bringing her daughters as well as her sons, had been admitted as a state, her neighbor on the south passed a woman suffrage bill by over 6,000 majority. Colorado's official records show that during these past 20 years, an average of 80 per cent of women have voted; while from college presidents, editors and legislators comes abundance of testimony in favor of the way they have used their ballot. Though they have evinced no especial desire for office, they are eligible to jury service, service on state boards and commissions, and the office of state superintendent of public instruction has always been filled by a woman. The Interparliamentary Union has officially declared that Colorado has the most advanced laws of any state or country in the world for the protection of women and children. In 1896, the next-door neighbor of Colorado and Wyoming, apparently convinced of the good results of woman suffrage as viewed at close range, gave the franchise to their women also, and Utah and Idaho were added to the list. A self-confessed anti, ex-Congressman Burton Lee French, of Idaho, confesses: "From practical experience with woman suffrage, I have become a convert. I believe it has raised the moral tone of political life, particularly in county politics. In this state, 40 per cent of the women are voters, although they constitute but 42 per cent of the population. They are independent and will not vote the straight ticket unless they approve the individual candidates." Incidentally, it might be mentioned that the hardships of getting to the polls in Idaho, traveling through the snow and over the mountains, afford proof that these women value the franchise highly. This gain of four states in six years stirred the opponents of equal suffrage -- big corporations, liquor interests and party "machines" -- to unwonted activity, and it was 16 years before a new state was won. In all these years, however, not six persons of prominence in all the equal suffrage states have been found to declare over their DURANT CO.

Incidentally, it might be mentioned that the hardships of getting to the polls in Idaho, traveling through the snow and over the mountains, afford proof that these women value the franchise highly. This gain of four states in six years stirred the opponents of equal suffrage --big corporations, liquor interests and party "machines" -- to unwonted activity, and it was 16 years before a new state was won. In all these years, however, not six persons of prominence in all the equal suffrage states have been found to declare over their own signatures that woman suffrage has resulted in one evil, nor has any organized effort been made to repeal the granlt. As a result of the "insurgent" movement in the western states, came the granting of the franchise in 1910 to the women of Washington by a majority of nearly three to one. The story of their registering by tens of thousands in Seattle the following month, their recall of its corrupt mayor and later the mayor of Tacoma was the topic of newspaper comment at the time all over the country and needs no extended mention. The legislature that has just adjourned has passed a number of advanced measures which the women had not succeeded in getting until they had the ballot. Among these were the Minimum Wage Bill, the Mother's Pension Bill, an anti-tuberculosis law, a bill to hold delinquent fathers to stricter responsibility for supporting their families. Since California won complete suffrage in 1911, her women's clubs have become centres for study of social and legislative problems. In the Cambridge Tribune of December 14, you reported a talk given by the first policewoman of America, Mrs. Wells, of Los Angeles, before the Cambridge Political Equality Association. There I note that California women are doing much to regulate and enforce the laws dealing with the dance hall and saloon as factors in the social evil. To a mere handful of women, too, the press credits the recall last April of Judge Charles L. Weller, in San Francisco, whose oft-repeated dismissal of cases of criminal assaults, even where evidence was conclusively incriminating, showed flagrant abuse of his judicial power. Now, besides these nine states enjoying full suffrage, five other states have completed the legislative preliminaries and are giving their men voters opportunity to decide whether they wish to amend the state constitution by striking out the word "male" as a qualification, and thus allowing all adults otherwise qualified, whether men or women, the power to vote. These states so far on the way to freedom are: Montana, Nevada, North Dakota, South Dakota and Wisconsin. Wisconsin failed in this endeavor last year but is "baffled to fight better" and hopes for victory in the coming campaign. In four states, both legislative bodies have passed favorably on the suffrage amendment, and if they abide next year by the same decision, these states may then turn to their voters for the third and last decision. [It is not without much deliberation that women win their franchise!] These states are New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Iowa. Let this much be said for Massachusetts, where for 50 years women have yearly besought our legislators to think favorably of this measure -- at last both houses by a goodly majority, although not by the necessary two-thirds majority, have gone on record in favor of giving women the vote. A friend of mine is fond of singing the Eton College Boating Song. When she heard that the anti-suffragists had 1312 Massachusetts Avenue Harvard Square ________________________________________ adopted rose and black as their colors, she put these words to that melody: "Anti, your tones are rosy, But black shows your day is done; Yours are the hues of twilight, Ours of the coming sun. Then here's to the golden yellow, The glow of the coming sun; Then here's, etc." And the writer believes these lines are prophetic! ONE WHO LOVES HER FELLOW- WOMEN, NOT EXCLUDING ANTIS. May 28, 1913. J A Jeffrey __________________________________________ Templars Hear a Sermon. In the congregation that attended St. Peter's Church, on Sunday morning, were about 50 members of Cambridge Commandery, K. T., Walter C. Wardwell, E.C., who had been invited by the rector, Rev. Ransom M. Church, to join in the service. Past Commanders Charles M. Pear and Howard F. Peak were present. Captain General Hugh M. Tolar had charge of the lines. As the commandery reached the outer door it was met by the surpliced choir and rector and escorted up the main aisle to front pews. The altar was beautified with flowers and inside the rail were huge palms. The commandery banner and Beauseant and the American flag stood in front of the choir gallery facing the congregation. The rector, in a special greeting to the Knights Templar, said that he was sure he voiced the sentiment of the whole parish in declaring that it was a very great pleasure to welcome the commandery delegation. He could not but realize that as Templarism stands for righteousness, purity of life and other high ideals, its power in influencing for good was extensive. Mrs. Adelaide Andros was the organist and directed the singing. The anthem was "Praise the Lord." The hymns were especially significant for the visit of the Templars and included "Onward, Christian Soldiers," "Blest Be the Tie That Binds," "How Firm a Foundation" and "Jesus Shall Reign Where'er the Sun." As the commandery retired, Rev. Mr. Church stood at the door, shook each member by the hand, and thanked him for his attendance. _______________________________________ Progressives Enroll 30. Thirty Cambridge voters enrolled last week Friday night as members of the Progressive Party and as such are qualified to sign nomination papers of the party candidates for the primary election in September.

It is proposed to have the owners of automobiles among the members of the various organizations use their machines to transport those who wish to attend the outing, all starting at a given time and forming an impressive parade. This is to be one of the features of the day, and it will be the aim of the transportation committee to secure as many automobiles as possible. Those who cannot go in autos will be well accommodated by the regular line of Lowell cars which leave the Harvard square subway station every half hour. These cars pass the entrance to "Riverhurst." A caterer will be engaged to furnish a dinner and the price of tickets has been fixed at $1, which covers the dinner and the other incidental expenses of the outing.

The attractions of the day at "Riverhurst" will be various sports, including ball games and races, and possibly water sports.

New Secretary at Y. W. C. A. Miss Flora Benton Smith, of Medford, has been chosen secretary of the Y. W. C. A., and will assume the duties of the position about the first of July. The association has been without a general secretary for several months since the resignation of Miss Clara Maynard. During that time the work has been carried on by the president, Mrs. F. C. Rivinius, and other officials. Miss Smith graduated from Boston University a few years ago in the Phi Beta Kappa class. She is at present engaged as a teacher of French and Latin in a private school at Exeter, N. H., where her duties will keep her until June 23. She will attend the city conference of the Y. W. C. A., at Silver Bay, Lake George, N. Y., the first week in July and will then come to Cambridge. She has been active in the college Y. W. C. A., and organized a branch in Maine. Miss Smith has been closely identified with social work and has made a deep study of girl problems. She is president of the Christian Endeavor Society of Exeter. Miss Smith is spoken of in the highest terms as a young woman of ability and a born leader. She is of most pleasing disposition and her selection as secretary is considered a happy one. She is a gifted musician. During her residence in Medford, Miss Smith was prominent in church and association work. The association has also engaged Miss Johnson, formerly of the New England Hospital for Women, as director of the dining room. President Lowell in the West.

Dr. and Mrs. Lowell arrived at 2.40 o'clock yesterday afternoon and were taken at once to the home of their host, H. O. Vaille, where a reception was given them. Dr. Lowell was taken to the Wolcott School after the reception, where he spoke for an hour on modern education. Next he was taken to the University Club for a smoker. This morning an address at East Denver High School was sandwiched into an extended tour of the city. Practically every Harvard alumnus in the entire Denver region came to Denver to meet President Lowell. Vocational training in education was the theme of President Lowell's address last night. "Vocational training," he said, "has been made important by the country's ___________________________________________ AUCTIONEERS, ETC. _____________________ AHERN, Auctioneer, Real Estate, Insurance. 426 Cambridge St. Cambridge.
