.. EQUAL SUFFRAGE NOTES 
An important event in the history 
~'of Woman Suffrage in this country 
occurred this week, when the “Bris- 
- tow-Mondell Resolution,” or Suffrage 
amendment to the Constitution of 
the United States, came to a vote in 
the national House of Representatives 
on Tuesday evening, after an all-day 
debate, and after a struggle of many 
years. The great interest and excite- 
“ment, the “record breaking crowds” 
in the galleries, and the fact that the 
Suffrage question was called “a great 
national issue” both on the floor of 
the House and in the newspapers, 
‘mark the event as the beginning of 
the victory for National Woman Suf- 
frage. Of course it was never sup- 
posed that the Bristow-Mondell 
amendment had any chance of win- 
ning,’ especially in this Democratic 
administration. The chief argument 
of, its opponents was that the suffrage 
is a matter for the separate states to 
settle, not for Congress,—indeed the 
old, old story of “states’ rights” was 
insisted on by some of the leading 
Democrats. - As a matter of fact, 
equal suffrage is coming state by state. 
Massachusetts next! 
The women’s international Peace 
Meeting was held in Washington im- 
mediately before the “Suffrage Day” 
‘in Congress, and it was a striking 
fact that all the most important wo- 
men of the Peace advocates were also 
leaders in the Suffrage movement,— 
Mrs. Pethick Lawrence of England, 
our own Jane Addams, and so on. 
Both Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence spoke 
at a big peace meeting in Boston on 
Thursday evening. 
In Boston also, last Sunday in the 
Tremont Theatre, there was held one 
of the largest Suffrage meetings on 
record (the theatre was packed to the 
limit), when the chief speaker was 
Dr. Katherine B. Davis, Commis- 
sioner of Correction in New York. It 
was delightful to find that this woman 
who is doing work never before done 
by a woman, and such a serious work, 
was of the womanly, motherly type, 
with a keen sense of humor. Would 
that the young men in our Massachu- 
setts reformatories had such a woman 
to take charge of them! But in fact 
there are only two such women in 
this ‘country, Miss Davis and Miss 
Addams; and both are Suffrage 
leaders! Miss Davis has never used 
the weak argument,—‘“because I am

Russell, reported that she had in hand 
over $1600, as a result of the Benefit 
for the Women’s Emergency Corps 
of England,—the Twelfth Night af- 
fair having been a financial success as 
well as a brilliant social success. Now 
that this important piece of war relief 
work has been, the Equal Franchise 
' Comm. (of which Mrs. Robert Gould 
Shaw is chairman) will give its atten- 
tion to the Suffrage campaign work in 
this state. | 
The Manchester Equal Suffrage 
League, which has been chiefly con- 
cerned with Belgian relief work this 
season, will also now be busy with 
the more quiet ‘forms of “campaign 
work” in this community.

Here is a new Ford story we saw 
somewhere, but have forgotten just 
where. A man in California writes 
to the Ford company and tells them 
they should feel very much exalted 
for the reason that the Ford is the 
only car mentioned in the Bible and 
to prove it cites them to passage in 
Tsaiah which savs: “He went up into 
Heaven on high” and asks what othe: 
car but a Ford could do, that?”
