EQUAL SUFFRAGE NEWS 
A special committee of three, with 
Mrs: Chapman *Catte (Pres; of the 
National Suffrage ass’n) as chairman, 
has been appointed to act as inter- 
mediary with the government at 
Washington in case of war. This is 
a result of the recent conference of 
suffragists held in Washington, when 
Mrs. Catt offered to President Wil- 
son the services of two million wo- 
men, (the Suffrage organizations of 
this country) in the splendid letter 
which has appeared in the news- 
papers and in the Woman Journal. 
The national conference also 
brought out much good news of suf- 
frage progress. North Dakota, Ohio 
and Indiana have recently obtained 
Presidential suffrage, which gives 
the women a great deal of power, 
especially in Indiana. And in that 
state the women have also been grant- 
ed the right to vote on the coming 
constitutional convention, a_ right 
which has just been refused to the 
women of Massachusetts. ache 
women of Indiana are “people,” but 
the women of Mass. are not! How- 
ever, the Massachusetts delegates to 
the Washington conference had rea- 
son to feel proud of the report of the 
work of the Massachusetts women in 
Washington, Mrs. Maud Wood Park 
and ‘Miss Heloise Meyer, who are 
both helping on the national situation. 
There was an informal meeting of 
Brookline suffragists on Monday, at 
the home of Miss L. R. Stanwood, to 
begin the work of organizing the suf- 
fragists of Brookline for war-relief, 
in case of need. This work will fol- 
low the lines indicated by Mrs. Catt, 
giving special attention to the employ- 
ment of women and the care of chil- 
dren, besides cooperating with the 
Red ‘Cross, etc. It should also be 
noted that the Washington letter 
specially recommended agricultural 
work for women and the cultivating 
of their own gardens.

was entertained by Boston suffragists 
on Monday, and she gave an inspiring 
account of the great progress of suf- 
frage work and sentiment in the 
Southern states. Tennessee is likely 
to gain Presidential suffrage immedi- 
ately, and we began to feel that the 
South is ahead of Massachusetts. 
But Miss Clay showed us that we may 
all feel encouraged about the whole 
national situation. Miss Clay also 
said. that she believed that if the 
women of Europe had had the vote 
twenty-five years ago this present 
war would not have come. But in 
the present circumstances it is impos- 
sible for either the women of Europe 
or of this country to stop the cata- 
We must work for the future 
as well as for the present.—L, R. S.
