WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, FRIDAY, JUNE 20, 1919 tt a 3 ~ THE PIONEERS | | { | | | | | The suffrage movement has been so | long with "us, the customary argu-| ments for and against conferring the | ballot dpon the women of America | are so familiar, that one might sup- | pose the significance of the actionaof | congress 'in submitting the federal amendment could . not be missed. | Yet it is often just such circumstanc- | es as these which blind one to the] true importance of a major achieve- | ment in political history. | The amendment which is now sub- | mitted for ratifications is given the] name of Susan B. Anthony in honor | of a great American who devoted her | talents through a long life to the] cause now about to triumph. Miss | Anthony herself, it is interesting to | note, gave to another the distinction | of being the leader of women in Am- erica. Writing in one of 'the reviews in 1902 Miss Anthogy said, "The title I claim for Elizabeth, Cady Stanton is that of leader of wamen. Women do not enjoy one privilege today be- yond those possessed by their fore- mothers which was hot demanded by her before the present generation wag born." Mrs. Stanton's first demands for justice for women Miss Anthony charactarized as "far more revolut- jonary than was the Declaration of Independence bythe colonial. lead- ers." For women to take such action was "without precedent and the most daring innovation in all history." To one familiar with the recent] progress toward universal suffrage | such statements seem exaggerations. One needs the background of twen- ty years ago to appreciate the point of view of a crusader like Miss An- thony. Since then statesafter state has enfranchised women. An in- creasing number of protsuffrage,;men have sat in congress. Commufhities not ready to give women the com- plete ballot have permitted them partial suffrage. The seed was sown by such leaders as Mrs. Stanton and Miss Anthony. Under Dr. Shaw and her associates comes the victory, It is called a fifty-year fight Yor justice. The contest, however, goes back of the half century mark. It might fittingly be traced to the first woman's right convention in 1848 called by Mrs. Stanton, Lucreia Mott and two or three other Quaker wom- en. This meeting was at Mrs. Stan- ton's homie at Seneca Falls, N.

McAdoo, and thousands of prominent: men and women throughout the country, "Doug" Fair- banks "dnd Charlie Chaplin, movie stars extraordinary, are telling mil 'lions of screen fans everywhere why they ought to back the Boy Scouts of America in their campaign for 1,000,000 associate members. "Doug," as everybody knows, is a big kid anyway, and "Charlie," well, he'll never grow up--so they've both got a lot in common with the red- blooded young Americans who are | being trained for future citizenship! through the big scouting movement. Hence it was but natural, when they heard of the drive for member- ship, that the two big-hearted stars the way for their following by first becoming associate members them- selves,. and then filming a stunt in which they .both appear with Nation- al Field Scout Commissioner H. D. Cross and a bunch of scouts out in the land of films at Hollywood. "Doug" directs: Charlie, and then the 'comedian directs the screen athlete, and both of them are direct- ed by the impulse which stirs the gals hearts in the interest of boy- 100d. "We're out for a million associate members," they said in one voice as | the last strip of film was being run through the projecting machine at their studios on 'the coast. | And if laughs will bring dollars, the Boy Scout movement ought to become the biggest in the world, for the Chaplin-Fairbanks scout film is a sidesplitter. The Price of Not Saving The insurance' statisticans show that 54 men out of 100, starting at the age of 21, become depenmdablz upon relatives, friends or almshouses at the age of 65. This is largely be- cause they have failed to learn the principlzs of thrift and saving.

To prove the con- tention a long array of facts were submitted "to a candid world." Such declarations have a strange sound now. They had a revolutionary sound then.

Reasoned with for these seventy years, besought, not infrequently scolded, the "tyrant' voluntarily re- linquishes his "absolute tyranny." Time has softened the asperities on both sides. There is little talk nowadays of "absolute tyranny" of man over woman. Rather, the i rage cause is based on reason, just- ice ,and expedience. By reasoning together in. fair give-and-take fash- ion, men and women 'have reached the great conclusion.
