I am very sorry that Mrs Blatch cannot aoceot as I am very proud of her & should like to have all our Boston friends see & hear her. But she sails en on Wednesday. As to myself the word “go” has lost all charm for me. I have arrived at that time of life when a good novel a rocking chair, my own bed & other personal comforts in an apartment house with no stairs to climb are all so necessary to my happiness that I cannot be temp~ ted to new fields of labor, except those my pen can reach. You see the great uorising in this state. Mrs Blatoh has spoken twice a day ever since she landed. The very day she landed she went straight from the ship to a parlor meeting to fill one of my engagements. You.should be here to help us. Could you give July August September a October or any part of these months & make one grand campaign through all the counties of this state? I hope yourfeﬁnm\will a grand success as it always is. with kind regards for Mr Livermore & yourself Yours as ever Elizabeth Gady Stanton

Elizabeth Cady Stanton and The Federal Amendment. a By her daughter Margaret Stanton Lawrence. For many years the National Woman Suffrage Association, of which Mrs. Stanton was President-for over twenty~five years, frequently held its annual Convention in Washington, D. C. On January 10, 187% the Federal Amendment for Woman Suffrage, in exactly its present form, was introduced in the Senate of the United States by Senator Aaron A. Sargent of California. My mother was the guest of Senator and Mrs. Sargent, and together they arranged the affair. Miss Susan B. Anthony was travelling in the far west at this time. S ' On the following day, January 11, hrs. Stanton made one of her best and most logical speeches before the Judiciary Committee of the Senate, urging the passage of this Amendment to the Federal Constitution, ~ which would thus, by a stroke of the pen, emancipate the women of the Nation. This did not take place, alas, till forty~ two years later} The National Woman Suffrage Association was holding its annual Convention in Washington, at this same date Jan. lS78. And Mrs. Stanton in her opening address brought forward, for the first time, before that body of her coadjutors the demand for a Segarate Amendment to the Constitution of the United States dealing with of Woman, pp 34%-355. woman suffrage. Up to this time efforts, in the interest of women, had been concentrated in endeavors to change the 14th & 15th Amend- ments as they passed through Congress. Mrs. Stanton's eloquent speech on the "l6th Amendment" may be read in Volume II of The History The Wording of Senator Sargent's Amendment. The wording of the Amendment introduced by Senator Sargent,at Mrs. Stanton's request in 1878, is exactly like that of the “XIX Amend» ment,“ which was proclaimed by the Sec. bf State of, the United States, as carried Aug. 20, 1920. S S How the XIX Anendent Reads. . Article XIX. 1. .The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied, or abridged, by the United States, or by any state on account of sex. 2. Congress shall have power, by appropriate legislation, to enﬁerce the provisions of this article. The History of Woman Suffrage. The History of Woman Suffrage Consists of three large volumes; let me make a few words of explanation about these huge tomes. v I don't know whether they are in the Seneca Falls Library or not. If not, I an sorry for they are worth perusing. They are in most of the big libraries of the United States and on the shelves of many in Europe, having been presented as gifts from my mother and Miss Anthony. In the early eighties, my mother, in connection with Miss Anthony and Mrs. Matilda Joslyn Gage, of Syracuse, edited and largely wrote the first volume of The History of Woman Suffrage. It contained 871 pages, the print and paper are good, it has handsome engravings of the distinguished women in the suffrage movement, and is nicely bound. _ This was followed later on by two more large volumes. Speaking of the three volumes as they came from the press, mother says, that she, "Welcomed Vol.1 with the same feelings of love and tenderness as she did her first~born child.“ It was reviewed by the newspapers all over the United States and England with far more praise than criticism", says Mrs. Stanton. Mother speaks of these large volumes somewhere in her writings, not so much as books to be read through, by the average reader, but as arsenals of facts for the future historian of the Woman Suffrage Movement. A fourth volume was gotten out, after my mother's death, edited by Ida Husted Harper, bringing the suffrage history down to a late date. Converting A United States Senator. Now one from the State of California was brought into the Suffrage Ranks. I was relating what follows to a friend one evening, she was so interested that she begged me to write it out for publication. I did so, and here it is. I heard it from the lips of the Senator and his wife during one of my visits, with mother, at their hospitable fireside. The Sargent family had just arrived in Washington, Father, mother and three lovely children, two girls and a boy. The Senator was a strikingly handsome man, a good talker and forces ful speaker. He had white hair, big, laughing blue eyes, rosey cheeks and very handsome teeth. Was straight and muscular, held his head and -3... chest up, and commanded attention at once. His wife, on the contrary, was a demure little body, inconspicuous in looks, and never had much to say, especially in public. She was a great reader, however, and well informed in many topics, she “did” things quietly, but when she did speak it was right to the point. i One evening, soon after the Sargents arrived in Washington, this was before 1878 - they were attending one of their first big dinner» parties at one of the renowned homes of that city. Many distinguished Senators and their wives were present. The subject of Woman Suffrage came up for discussion. host of what had been said was in opposition to the cause. Senator Sargent had spoken very emphatically against it. Suddenly the gentleman, who had escorted Mrs. Sargent out to dinner, talked to her and said, "What do you think on this subject, Madame, you haven't said anything?" y I have often heard the Senator, his wife, and mother laugh over this experience during my visits there. Mrs. Sargent being thus challenged spoke up and gave a good account of why she believed in Votes for Women. She quoted her authorities, and altogether made such a deep impression on her hearers that amny of those present decided, from that moment, to look into the subject. Her husband rubbed his eyes and said to himself, “Is this the woman who has lived so long by my side, whom I have loved and cherished? Why have I never before known how she felt?” He was furious at her for it was not fashionable then to believe in Woman Suffrage. They had just begun their Washington career. He thought her advocacy of this unpopular cause would cost a veil over their social standing. They had always been a most devoted couple, their home life had been ideal, and now to have this spectre come up between them, at this important time of their lives, made the Senator mad and disgusted. He was usually a most reasonable being. When it came time to go home he said; "Ellen, since you believe in woman's right to do and dare you may go home alone," turned on his heels and walked off. i “Very well, Aaron," said our little heroine, “I have my key, so I can get in the house.“ She said she never felt so sad in her life, but she just had to speak out her convictions when challenged to do so, even if it did cause a break between her and her husband. When she reached home she drew the chairs before the big fireplace, poked up the fire, three on some light wood, added a log or two, and sat down to await the arrival of her leige lord. Soon he appeared, and when he saw the cheerful blaze, the enpty chair beside his wife, and was greeted with, "Come and sit down, Aaron, I want to talk to you,” and this, in the kindest, sweetest tones possible, he was won over. His snger slipped from his finger tips. "ih, Ellen!“ he said, “I sm ashamed of the way I spoke to you, but I want you to know that I walked along on the other side of the street, s little back of you, to see that no harm osme to you.“ "I know you did, Aaron,“ she said, es he patted her on the head and took her hand and kissed it. "I saw you out of the tail of my eye.” Then they set and talked far into the night on the subject that lay nearest her heart, end it was agreed that every morning as he shaved she would read some book aloud to him on the subject of women suffrage. So the next day they started on John Stuart Mills ‘"Snbjeotion of Women.“ A The Senator had such an open mind that before the book was finished he was thoroughly converted to the belief in the ballot for women, and was ever after one of our greatest champions in the Senate of the United States.

Among the speakers were Mrs. Stanton’s granddaughter, Mrs. Nora Stanton Barney, of Green- wich, Conn., and Miss Katherine Devereux Blake, of New York, widely known educator, peace advocate and Chairman of the Committee on International Relations of the New York Federation of Women’s Clubs.

Those arranging the cere- mony were keenly disappoint- ed that Harriot Stanton Blatch, the distinguished daughter of Mrs. Stanton, who has so faith- fully followed in her footsteps, could not be present. The words of her beautiful mes- sage, reverent, intimate and reminiscent, brougght to those gathered together a conscious- ness of a goal yet to be at- tained and a torch still to be carried rather than the closing of a chapter with a. tribute to one who had achieved. were among those attending. -— Mrs. Ethel Ernest Murrell, Florida Chairman for the Na- tional Woman’s Party, in a beautiful eulogy of Mrs. Stan- ton, expressed the gratitude o-f women for the vision, the cour- age and the endless effort of the Woman who 91 years ago dared to ask equal rights for her sex. Mrs. Alma Ambrose, of Bal- timore, Md., chairman of the Eastern Regional Conference, presided, other speakers being Mrs. Ellis A.

MARIE MOORE F0-RREST Conference Chairman “Dear friends and veterans of the Eternal Struggle for Woman’s Freedom,” kw rot e Mrs. Blatch. “I greet you from the deep memories of old: So full «of stirring reminiscences. “This is a well-nigh holy oc- casion that brings. us together here today. We commemorate the anniversary of the birth, one hundred and twenty-four years ago, of my mother, Eliz- abeth Cady Stanton, as well as her endeavors and her achieve- ments on this very spot. “She passed on to us the banners of equality and free- dom to be borne ever forward to the still distant goal. Let lumbia C h ai rm an, National Woman’s Party, and Mrs. Helen Hoy Greeley. Mrs. Forrest brought to the gathering a message from Alice Paul, founder of both the National Woman’s Party and the World Woman’s Party, who is now at the World Party Headquarters in Geneva. “The great- est thing the women of the United States can do to help women of the world,” read the message, “is to win the campaign for the Equal Rights Amendment. Women of the world look to the United States to set the example.” At the close of the Washington meeting there was sent to Mrs. Harriot Stanton Blatch, daughter of Eliz- abeth Cady Stanton, ill at her home in Greenwich, Conn., an affectionate greeting expressing disappoin:t- ment at her inability to be present and appreciation of her own great contribution to the cause of women. In New York, three generations of descendants of _ placing the cap-stone upon the ﬁnal victory of W~o=meIi’s rights.” Governor Herbert Lehman, Governor of the State of _New_York, in a greeting said: “It is well that the University of the State of New York decided to mark the location of Mrs. Stanton’s residence. Her work with Susan_ B. Anthony in behalf of equal rights for women entitles her to a lasting place in the record of the suffrage movement.” From Mayor_ Fiorello LaG:uardia, of New York, came the following: “I would like to take this oppor- tunity to pay tribute to the memory of one of the most outstanding women America has known. The right of women to vote and to take an active part and inter- est in the affairs of their government was among the most progressive and important of the amendments to the Constitution of the United States, and Elizabeth Cady Stanton’s contribution to this cause is worthy of us dedicate ourselves anew to 136 EQUAL RIGHTS December, 1939 tribute and gratitude as never ending as her efforts for its fulfillment were untiring and indefati.gable.” United States Senator James M. Mead, of New York, said: “This tablet to Elizabeth Cady Stanton serves a worthy purpose enriching the memory and commemo- rating one who served so loyally and devotedly the cause of women’s righ .” From Congressman Sol Bloom, of New York, came this tribute: “As one who has always admired the really great work accomplished by Elizabeth Cady Stanton, I am particularly happy that this tablet is being erected to her memory. Mrs. Stanton was one of those great pioneers who has done so much to con- tribute to the advancement of the well being and the welfare of the American people.” Alma Lutz, author of a biography of Mrs. Stanton, now being published by John Day and Company, wrote: “I am very sorry that I am unable to be pres- ent at this ceremony to pay tribute to Elizabeth Cady Stanton, for I know that I and every woman in the yvoirld who cherishes freedom owe her a’ debt of grati- u e. “Elizabeth Cady Stanton had the vision, the courage and the determination to work for the emancipation of women at a time when this was a very unpopular and unladylike thing to do. Her interest in women’s advancement went far beyond woman suffrage to equal rights under the law and in all human relation- ships. She also saw that before women could be com- pletely free there must be at great change in their own thinking——a discarding of false traditions and a cul- tivation of conﬁdence in themselves. . . . In 1850, Eliza- beth Cady Stanton made this plea—‘Take down every barrier in woman’s way and let her ﬁnd her own sphere.’ That this statement made 89, years ago is still applicable today is an indictment of our progress. . . . In 1939 as in 1850. there is need to say with Eliza- beth Cady Stanton, ‘Take down. every barrier, in woman’s way and let her ﬁnd her own sphere.’ ” George Gordon Battle, distinguished authority on International Law, said: “Mrs. Stanton richly deserves this tribute of the New York State Department of Education, the National Woman’s Party, and all Mw~omen’s organizations gathered to pay her honor.” ’ I From Vassar College, through Dean. Mildred Thomp- son, came this message: “This occasion and the place both seem to me to be so distinctly important in the history of our country, and especially in the advance- ment of interests of women, that I as the Dean of Vassar College and a Vassar alumnae take pleasure in sending my greetings on this occasion. We are most happy to have our strong connections with Elizabeth Cady Stanton through her daughter, Harriot Stanton Blatch, whom we are proud to claim as one of our graduates. Vassar in its early days proﬁted greatly by the great zeal of women for the cause of women and by the passionate desire of women over the coun- try to seize the opportunities which were being offered for their development through educational means. We therefore feel ourselves a part of this great movement for the advancement of the cause of women which is so nobly symbolized by the career of Elizabeth Cady Stanton.” Mrs. Ogden” Mills Reid, of the New York H crowd- Tribune, unable to attend, wrote: “Because of my feeling for the family of Mrs. Stanton as well as my admiration for her, I am sad that I cannot even be present at this interesting gathering.” From the Business and Professional Women’s Club of Johnstown, N. W., birthplace of Mrs. Stanton, came the following through its President, Robertene M. Smith: “We who dwell here in Elizabeth Cady Stanton’s early home are deeply moved by your commemoration of the birthday of our townswoman. There are those living among, us still who remember the old mansion of gray brick where she spent her childhood and many happy intervals. in her later years, and who caught from their parents or grandparents at reﬂection of the strength and sanity she shed about her. The old Acad- edy where she studied her Greek and Latin is still standing and served for the schooling of our parents and many of our elder friends. “I read from one of her letters these lines: ‘As I sit beside Hattie with the baby in her arms, and realize that three generations of us are together, I appreciate more than ever what each generation can do for the next one, by making the most of itself and thus slowly building the Jacob’s ladder by which the race shall at last reach the divine heights of perfection.’ “We hope and pray that her spirit is still with us and if ever we doubt its inﬂuence we will gather fresh faith and trust in her mission when we remember the memorial you are raising to her in the heart of our mightiest city.” At the close of the meeting resolutions were adopted petitioning the Postmaster General of the United States to “express the nation’s appreciation of her (Mrs. Stanton’s) character and her achievements through the issuance of a commemorative stamp on the one hundred and twenty-ﬁfth anniversary of her birth, November 12, 1940.” In addition to these two nationally important cere- monies, women in various parts of the country ob- served the anniversary with meetings, radio broad- casts and other tributes to Elizabeth Cady.

A After a century of discussion on the rights of citizens in a republic, and the gradual extension of Suffrage, without property or educational qualiﬁcations, to all white men, the thought of the natiOI1 has turned for the last thirty years to negroes and women. And in the enfranchisement of black men by the Fourteenth a11d Fifteenth Amendments to the Federal C011- stitution, the Congress of the United States has now Virtually established on this continent an aristocracy of sex, an aristocracy hitherto unknown in the history Of nations. \Vith every type and shade of manhood thus exalted above their heads, there never was a time when all women, rich and poor, white and black, native and foreign, should be so wide awake to the degradation of their position, and so persistent in their demands to be recognized in the government. VVOman’s enfranchisement is now a practical question in England and the United States. VVith bills before Parliament, Congress and all our State legislatures—~—with such able champions as John Stuart Mill and George ‘William Curtis, women need but speak the word to secure her political freedom tO—day. \Ve sincerely hope that in the coming National Anniversary every State and Territory, east and west, north and south, will be represented. ‘We invite delegates, too, from all those countries in the Old \VOrld where women are demanding their political rights. .

Amelia Bloomer. Among many of the bright women of Seneca Falls, was one, wnoee name in constantly spoken of; even to tnie day, indeed, her name has been turned into n byeword, and ie found in the dictionary, and spelled with a email letteri Mrs. Amelie Bloomer was the Wife of the Poet Master of that little village; ene had been eworn in as his deputy, and had fitted up a nice room back of the Poet-orricc, there theladice or the town met and exchanged ideas, and often stayed to read the papers and negezinee that came to her as owner, editor and pubiieher of a 4133 45 llittle newspaper called The Lily, In this paper she advocated the new style or dress, hence, it was named after her, out its originator was our cousin Mrs. Elizabeth Smith Miller of Peter}- boro, ;M: , the only daughter of the Hon.

She seys,"The mobs no longer dragged men through the streets with ropes around their necks, as they did in Boston...... They no longer threw rotten eggs and brick ‘bets at the apostles of reform, nor dipped them in berrels of tar and feathers, they simply crowded the halls and with laugh~ IDA ing, groaning, clapping and cheering; efectuelly interrupted the proceedings.§ My mother was invited to accompany Ggrrit Smith Boris. Greene, en3’~iijg-{so Anthony to e. few points in Control New York,out the mobs would notwlet them speak in any town.l The speakers sat on the platform and oonvoreed with the many friends that orowded forward, "thus among ourselves," she says, “we had a pleasant roception.......end delegates from thgxmob came be~ hind the scenes to discuss with us the right of free speech end the conotitntionelity of slavery.“ Thetpolice no where tried to quely"tho jeering or cheering. At one town, she says, “Cayenne pepper in the stove soon out short all argument and plans to lioortyt" \ V And so it was ell the way from Buffalo to Albany; theg whole state was afleme with the moo spirit, and from Boston end places in other states the same news come. As the Legislature was in session and they were advertised to speak in Albany, one " redicaL.memoer sercesticelly moved, "That no Mrs. Stanton and .Miss Anthony were about to move on Albany, the-militia be ordered out for the protection of the city." But there happened just then tobo a determined Democratic Mayor at the ﬁtste Cepitel, “with courage and e‘conscience," who said,“ Free speech should. not be trodden under foot when he had the right to prevent it.“ And that one forceful men carried out his purpose. Through ell the meetings Mayor Thatcher set on the platform, with his 48 police stationed through the hall, end a large body outside as well, so as to disperse the crowd as soon ss it collected. If one person peeped he was immediately ejected. The mayor not only preserved order inside and out, but, with a squad of armed police, he escorted the speakers to and from the Delsvsn House to the hall. A "When proposing for the Mayor a vote of thanks, at the close of the convention, Gerrit Smith expressed his fears that it had been a severe ordeal for him to listen to these long sntiwslsvery speeches; Mayor Thatcher smiled and said: ‘I have really been deeply interested and instructed. I rather con- grstulste myself that a convention of this ohersctsr has, at last come in the line of my business; otherwise I should hsve probably remained in ignorance of many important facts and ‘opinions I now understand and appreciate?“ That Lsst night Gerrit Smith addressed the mob from the steps of the hotel, after which they gave him three cheers and dispersed in good order. T Marriage end The chsptercgn Msrrisge and Divorce, in my Eiiﬂlﬁév motheris hook, Eighty years and More, oonsider one of the finest in the volume and am sorry sll my readers cannot peruse it. i » So hitter was the opposition to divorce in 1861, for eny cause; that but few dared to tens part in its discussion. She was the only Women for many years, WHO Wrote or spoke on tne question. A very lioerei oiil Ior divorce hsd been carried by s lsrge majority in Indiana in 1860. A similar bill was introduced 49 in the Legislature of New York soon after. While the New York bill was pending Mrs. Stanton was requested by Lewis Benedict one or the Committee who had the bill in charge, to address the Legislature on Divorce. ‘Her feelings had been stirred to their eepths in early life by the sufferings of a deer friend, at whose wedding she had been e bridesmaid. In listening to the feats of her oese, she was converted to the wisdom of liberal divorce lees. So she gledly eeoepted the invitation to ederees the Legislature on the subject.’ She thought here was en OppQr* tunity to supnort her friend in the step she had taken, and to make the peth oleer for other unheppy wives who wished to do likewise; She made a brilliant and forcible ergument for the bill, and it was lost by only four votes. But she hed no idea f the persecution she was drawing, down on her head. She says, "I Wes always oouregious in saying what I saw to be true, for the simnle reason I never dreamed of opposition. What seemed to me to be right, I thought must be equally plain to all other retionsltheings." Whet she said oi divorce, over half a century ago, is ﬁ§y%%% quite in line with What many say now,» the trouble was not shat she said, but that she seie it too soon. The Rev. Ferny Grant made some remerks on libereli eivoroe the other day, and was promptly denounoeﬁ by Everett P. Wheeler and various clergy in the ssme lenguege that was uses against my mother fifty years ago. Some people never seem to live in the present, but ever in the pest. Women were always nouring into my motheres ears the story of their sorrows, hence when she decided that divorce was a 50 legitimate subject to be discussed on the Woman Suffrage Plat~ form at a convention being held in New York City, it met with great opposition. But Miss Anthony stood by hergarrayed against them were Wendell Phillips, and his many followers. Mother and Susan carried the day; however, ably assisted by William Lloyd Garrison and the Rev. Antoinette L. Brown, and the convention, at its final vote, sustained them. In her book she says,"Sc alarming were the comments in the Metropolitan Press on that had been said that I began to feel that I had inadverte. ently taken out the underpinning from the whole social system?“ Her definition of marriage is so beautiful that I cannot refrain from giving it to you:"Before we can decidéfthe just grounds for divorce,we must get a clear idea of what cone stitutes marriage. In a true relation the chief object is the loving companionship of man and woman, their capacity for mutual help and happiness, and for the development of all that is noblest in each other. The second object is the building up of the home and family, a place of rest, peace, security, in which child-life can bud and blossom like flowers in the sunshine.“ Shecgoses her chapter with these aords,“No, no; the enemy of marriage, of the State, of Society is not liberal divorce laws, but the unlealthy atmosphere that exists in the home itself. A legislative act cannot make a unit of a divided 0 a My mother and the clery. ‘My mother always had many friends among the clery; they seemed to delight having an argument with her on the sphere of woman. Among'henwarmest friends in Seneca Falls _ O“ were the Episcopal clergyman. and his family, the girls of hgst ‘A x 51 household and the boys of here; were devoted to each other. At this time the laying of the first Atlantic Gables was under idiscuesion, the Rev.

One day a distinguished Bishop of the diocese of Western New York was calling on my mother; he was an anti; and holding forth on the disabilities of women as a bar to their having the ballot. ‘“Why Bishop,“_Mother remarked," I didnit know that we had any disabilities, pray mention theme“. "Welle“ heeaid¥"surely motherhood ie a disability.” “en the contrary,‘ Bishop,” quickly answered hrs. Stanton,"motherhood is an added glory. It is something that you men oannot do, give birth to an immortal soul. If it beta disability why does the church celebrate the Magnifioat every Sabbath morning, the whole world round?" "Y-e-s, y~e~s,“ said the bishop, hesitating1y.“that is true Mrs; Stanton. I hadn’t looked at it in that light before. ‘ But you must admit that your skirts are a disability,“ continued the oleryman. "Why, Bishop," we are not born with shirts on, we lay them off whenever we ohooee," said Mrs. Stanton, "and I no“ ties that whenever you men go into the pulpit, you put on the floeingrobe,‘ and so do the judges of the Supreme Court before they take their places on the bench. This is done so as to give added dignity maths position." , “Y~e~s, y~e~s,“ drewled the Bishop, “I never looked at it from that angle before.

These startling events roused the entire nation, and ' the patriotism of women shone forth es fervently as did that .5‘ CL man. In 1868 We moved to New York City. My mother and Miss Anthony founded the Womenls Loyal Leegue, which voiced the Solemn lessons of the War: "Liberty to all; netionel protection for every citizen under our flag; universal suffrage and universal amnesty.“ They advocsted the immediate emancipation end en; frenohisement of the Southern Slaves, as the most speedy wgy of ending thewer, urging Congress to so emend the Constitution as to prohibit the existence of slavery in the United States. This league did agreet educational work as letters re- ceived from generals, statesmen, editors and many women fully endorsing its actions and principles show. It was formed after consultation with_Horece Greeley, Wm. Lloyd Garrison, Governor Andrews end many other prominent people. i A They held a large meeting on May 14, in Dr. Gheever*s_ church.

Mrs. Stanton and Mrs. ysnthony sere invited, among other Eastern people,to go out and make a campaign through the state. Votes for colored men was a Republican measure which the men of that party ens the press sﬁw voostedwith enthusiasm.

My mother often described those exw periences to us,w no food fit to set, trying to sleep in all sorts of impossible beds, speaking in log cabins} unfinished school houses, barns, depots, the open air. One night she spoke in e mill with one tsllos candle over her heed and a few lanterns here end there i smong the audience. She said all she could see of her hearers was the whites of their eyes! But the enthusiasm and earnestness of the people, she said, made up for all the discomforts she suffered; they often drove twenty or thirty miles to heer her speak. Her nsme was known ell over the oountry even in those esrly days. She was see compsnied byEx~Gov. Robinson; they ﬁrove in a low cerriege, with s 57 span of mules. All their belongings were stored away under the seat or fastened behind them. Among other things they carried was a quantity of tracts, to scatter among the people; also some food, as often they didn’t reach any place where they could get meals, or wheﬁenthey did they couldnlt eat them. So they took, “apples, nuts; crackere; dried herring; gum arabic and slippery elmi" They were told the last article- was very nutri~ tious. I donlt know what the food experts of to~day would say f that dietary. iFor three months they labored diligently, day after dayg enduring all manner of hardships in travelling, eating, and sleeping; they went to the very verge; of civilization and got a good idea of pioneer life. As there eere no roads or guide posts; they often lost their way. In going through canons or fording streams it was often so dark that the Governor woulﬁ : walk aheadg taking off his coat so that mother could see his white shirt and know where to drive? A A One night they eaw a light afar~off on the prairie and thought theyld see if they could find a shelter for the night. On arriving they were given a hearty Welcome, the place coneistedp i +fof one large room, not yet lathed or plastered; where lived me ﬁt; ‘corners, a cork stove in the third corner and a table in the spinster sisters and two bachelor brothers with beds in two l‘fourth.

The brothers offered their bed to mother and said they and the Governor could sleep on the floor; so the masculine elementi Went out and gazed at the stars, while the feminine part prepared 58 to seek their downy I?) couches. Whenihe men eeme in they spread some blenkets and skins on the floor end leid themselves down. My mother had a horror of mice, and when all was dsrk‘end still, she suddenly gave s little scream. A sleepy voice from one of the sisters.“ seid3i”Whet is the matter, Mrs. Stsnton, erenit you oomforteble?? "Oh. Ywe-s," she replied,“only I thought I felt a mouse run over my hesd."‘ “Well,” said the voioe,“I should not wonder if you did, the pest I heerd such a squeeking in that corner y\few dsys thet I told sister I thought there must be a mouse nest in that bed,“e eon» fession she probably would not have made, hsd she not been half esleep, This announcement was greeted with suppressed laughter from the floor. But as there was no easy chair in which she could sit up and sleep, and as no one offered to seeroh for the nest of mice, mother summoned all the philosophy in her mekeeup, and es she was deed~tired, she soon fell asleep, and never knew whether the mice held high counsel or not. This was a sample of whet they had to endure for three months; she says, “We frequently set down to e table with beoon fleeting in grease, coffee without milk, sweetened with sorghum, end hot biscuit greeﬁhith soda, while vegetables and fruit were rarely seen...

During the War the Republicans and the Abolitionists \N h“urged the Women not only to keep silent about their claim to the bollot, till the negro was set free, but to work for his freedom from slavery, then they promised they would help the Women get the vote.

Stanton and Miss. , Anthony established a newspaper in New York City, called The Revolution. Miss Anthony was the Publisher, hrs. Stanton and Parker Pillsbury, the Editors.

"I am”, she said graciously. “Well, do you know," he went on, " that I agreed to pay $20.00. to have that bread powder advertised for one month,and you oome out and condemn it on your editorial page?” "I have nothing to do eith the advertising," she replied, ” Miss Anthony pays me to say what I think about things.” “Have you any more thoughts to publish on that bread powder of mine?" he asked. "Oh yes," she answered. " I have not nearly exhausted the subject yet." “Then,” said he, ”I‘ll have the advertisement taken out. What is there to pay for that one insertion?“ "Ohi" nothing," she said, "as the editorial probably did far more harm than the advertisement did for good." J “On leaving with prophetic vision, “ my Mother remarks, he said, ” I srophesy a short life for this paper; the business world is based on quaekery, and you eannot live without it.” With meleneholy certainty she replied; " I fear you are right." '$*=?‘**‘=§¢*=!<$=%<*f%=**>!<>!!?€¢* vu» For the next twelve years of my Mother's eventful life she travelled from Maine to Galiformia, from New LEOTURERS. York to Texas, lecturing for eight monthd of the year. Her children were all grown, her capable quaker housekeeper was still 64 with her, so the t all things moved along smoothly at home during ; her absence. Several of us children were ta College,she and father felt the strain on their financial resources in meeting our large educational bills, hence she wanted to do her share in bearing the burddn. The Lyceum Bureau was at this time one of the great features in American life. The three leading bureaus were in Boston , %/ New York, Chicago, Many of the distinguished men and Women of both this and foreign countries were constantly on the wing giving of their best to the large audiences that assembled all over the nation. "As the managers of the bureaus had ten per cent of what the speaker made, it was to their interest to keep the time well filled." Hence the engagements were made without the slightest reference to the comfort of the travelers. Owing to the immense distances in this country it was often necessary to travel night and day; the lectureMafre- >5qusntly being obliged to go from train to lecture hall, with no time to get, anything to eat or change their raiments. In those early days the fees were from one to two, three and sometimes five hundred dollars a night. Hence the speakers, likewise, were desirous of accomplishing as much as possible} She and Miss Anthony,froa having been tee of the most 5 persecuted women of the nation, soon became two of the most popular 5 lecturers of their day. Mrs. Stanton ass in great demand all over the country, she felt that it was a rare opportunity for spreading a knowledge of the Cause, dearest to her heart, before large aud- iences. She began her Lyceum lectures in 1869. The speech that she was most called in to give was "Our Girls,"_ The history of” that speech is rather interesting; sometime before she began her 65 her public lectures, she was asked to make the commencement day address before a girls’ school in Nyaok, N.Y. Kept by an old friend of here, she wanted to decline, but father urged her to prepare some kind of an informal discourse, and go up and deliver it, so she wrote What afterward enlarged and elaborated,besame her most popular speech: Our Girls. From this speech alone she made between twenty-five and thirty thousand dollars. She had a wonder- fully sweet, powerful, persuasive voice, a keen sense of humor, ooupu led with logic, earnestness and pathos. Her daughter, Mrs. Harriet Stanton Blatoh, who is a most forceful speaker, and clever presiding officer, inherits many of her Mother's talents. Mrs. Stanton could sway her audiences at her will. She had a long list of lectures before she finished, and she spoke in many towns and cities for years in succession. She had several addresses for women alone on Motherhood , care of habies, dress and hygiene, these she gave in the afternoons, in the places when she remained a day or two. She also had several sermons on the famous semen of the Bible, which she gave in the churches ,shen she staid over Sunday. She spoke before the inmates of blind asylums, to the deaf and dunb, to the men in the prisons, in various states, to the students in the colleges; she was ever ready for any call that was made unon her, , The tales of sorrow and woe that were poured into her ears by the men and women of this nation gave her an insight into nature that enabled her to see things in their true light. Somew times she was detained in a place for days by floods or storms, then the people had her speak every night: That was the heyday of the lecture period, a long list 0? bright men and Women were constantly on the go; Anna Dickinp son, Olive Logan, Kate Field and later Mary Livermore and Julia Ward Howe, Alcott, Phillips, Douglass, Tilton, Henry Ward Beecher, and several years later General Kilpatriok, with Charles Bradlaugh and hqthea/arnold from England. Some of them would oocasionally manage to meet and spend Sunday together in a good hotel in a city, to rest, to feast gand talk over their joys and sorrows, compare notes on the awful food and beds they encountered. After graduating from Vassar College, I travelled with my Mother one winter on one of her lecturing trips in the far West and learned to appreciate the many hardships she endured. We thus summed up whether we preferred to accept an invitation to a orivate house, or go to an hotel in some little village. ”hother," I'd say, "shall We be clean, cold and hard, or dirty, soft and warm?" ewe found the spare rooms almost every» where very clean, beds as hard as brick bats, with no Way of heating them: the hotels were dirty, beds soft, and the rooms they gave us had stoves in them. 4 often when Mother stayed in private houses, her little hostesses did their own eork, then, as it would be an epoch in their lives to have her asia guest, they'd invite a large table full of relatives and friends to come in for the oeoasion. She was often asked to say grace, at first she refused, then she says, "In my travels, through the west I often saw weary, wizen little wives, com» ing to the table after most exhausting labors; and bumptioue hus- bands, spreading out their hands and thanking the Lord for the meals 67 the deer women had prepared, as if, the whole csme down like manna from Heaven. So I preached e sermon in the_blessing I was often invited to give, as follows: "Heavenly Father and Mother, make us thankful for all the blessings of this life, and make us ever mindful of the patient hands that oft in weeriness spread our tables end prepare our daily food, for Humanity’s sake, Amen.” When she had finished and all had raised their heads she noticed whet astonished glances were exchanged among those gstherw ed dnut the table, how pleased the hostess looked, how high she held her head and chest. After dinner was over many came and asked where she got that grace, saying they had never heard anything like it. Would she Write it in their autograph albums. Seyeral ladies had it framed snd hung in their dining—rooms and to this day I as con stently making copies of it for people's houses. Those of my readers who ever sew Mrs. dtenton will reu member her crown of wonderful white curls and her remarkably beauti- rful teeth. On one of her lecturing trips she was in Lincoln, Reb- 3 reeks, the legislature was in session and her engagements were such, thetshe was to remain in town the day following. Many of the leg- islators had heard her speak, in the largest church in town which was jammed to the doors, and after the meeting was over these men gathered about her and asked if they could cell on her at her hotel the next morning and diseues the subject of Women Suffrage with her. There waste large number of them present,smong them some of the leading judges and lawyers of the state, finally one white~heired jurist said, "Mrs. Stanton, I am most anxious_to keep my mind on what you ere saying, but I can't till I ask you two 68 queetione.

Mrs. Mott ene hrs, Stanton, sitting in the railed—off space assigned to women, had listened to e long debate on the question of admitting women as members of the convention. They had heard, the last thing before adjournment, the overwhehming chorus of “noes” that barred women out. They left the hell together, "burning with indignation,“ and resolved on their way back to their lodgings that when they went home they would cell a convention to take up just one thing, - the rights of women."

In the beginning of our nation, the fathers declared that “no just govern- «I ment can be founded'Without the consent of the governed", and that taxation without representation is tyremhy." Both of these grand declarations are denied in the present position of semen, who eensitute; one~helf of the people.g& "political pewer inheres in the people“ ~ and eoeen are surely people ~ then there is a crying need for an amendment to the Eetionel 3onstitution,fmeking these fundamental principles verities.

I send you a note from Tryphena. It is quite flattering to see the excitement about our beautiful babies. Tell Green he quite mistook my reason for leaving ?. so soon - it was because I saw that Charley was greatly distressed at the superiority of my baby & then I know that Cousin G would not return until I did leave, as he must have heard through Cousin Nancy & Mrs. Tallman of the rare beauty of my second daughter. Therefore he dreaded the encounter. I What does Cousin G think of affairs at Washington. We shall be in the midst of violenoe,blood & civil war before we look for it. Out fair republic must be the victim of the monster slavery unless we speedily rise in our might & boldly shout for freedom. We are all well. The weather here is very cold. We fear a frost tonight. Now Julius do come hither in June . Nannie _will be quite presentable in another month. Remember me to Amadamoiselle. Do write soon. Tell Charley the Junius meeting begins on Sunday. Much love to Cousin G. V Goodnight Your devoted Johnson PS —Oh$ Julius, shat glorious nights for sleeping.

It is‘very depressing to see how women are do» graded & defrauded everywhere by the perversion of the religious emotions which should be used for their freedom e devotion. I hope your wife sill help me to set forth in glorious oolors this point. Can it be possible that O. E. Frothingham gave his name to the Remonstrants? It is pitiful to see how the Women's Eoarnal caters to oarmammbewmnmﬁsthe priests & the church. It cnops out in so many little ways.

Elizabeth Cady Stanton This is a photograph of the fly leaf of a cook book that Mother gave me for a wedding present at Tenafly, New Jersey, Oct. 2, 1878. The photograph shows that the book has had hard usage. a On pages 401-#03, of this same book, nether has written, at the request of the publishers, an excellent article on how to bring up babies. It is so scientific and up-to~date that you would suppose it had been written yesterday3 This gifted woman was a beautiful housekeeper, a wonder» ful mother, a fine cook, a great orator: she held children spell bound with the marvellous stories she told them. ishe was a versatile writer, a brilliant oonversationalist, a clever parliamentarian, far famed as a presiding officer, at great meetings: she sang and played delightfully on piano and guitar, ~ in fact there was very little that she could not do. And withal she was good to look upon with her silvery ehite curls, sparkling blue eyes, regular features and lovely complexion. She always wore a long black satin gown, with handsome white lace at her throat and a white, or pale blue silk shawl about her shoulders. . Happy New Year! Margaret Stanton Lawrence.

Well, on Tuesday nigh: I walked nearly three miles, shopped & made five calls - came home, slept good all night & on Wednesday morning at six I awoke with a little pain, which I well understood. I jumped up bathed & dressed myself, hurried the breakfast eating none myself of course, got the house & all things in order working bravely between the pains. I neither sat down or laid I down until half past nine when I gave up all my vocations & avocations secular & domestic & devoted myself to the one point then brought especially before my mind. At ten o'clock the whole work was completed. The nurse & Amelia alone officiating. I had no Dr. & Henry was in lsyracuse. I laid down about fifteen minutes & never had so speedy & easy a time before although this is the largest child I ever had weighing 12 pounds clothes on. She is very large & plump & her head is covered with black curly hair & oh how I do rejoice in her & now what shall I call her. What is the meat beautiful name ever given to woman? I shall not name her after anyone, for friendships are such passing changing things in the present undeveloped state of the race that the friend of today is the cold stern critic of tomorrow & then how trying to call a loved one by aname that always brings with it a train of most unpleasant associations. When the baby was twenty- four hours old I got up bathed & dressed, sponge bath & sits bath, put on the wet bandage, ate my breakfast walked on the piazza & then the day being beautiful I took a ride of three miles on the plank road, came home rested an hour or so then read the newspapers & wrote a log; letter to Mama. Today I go about as usual. Everything with.me & the baby is as it should be, as yet all things move on right & my joy in being the mother of a precious little girl is more than I can tell you. Now do come & see me right off. The short dress I wore until the last. It is grand for such an occasion & I love it more than ever, Well nhe sitz bath.has never come & if it is not too late just countermand the order as I do not need it now. Love to all,your happy cousin Libs <To €l.o.bav6~5C€.. S‘,.o..rcUlcc.'m-n)

Work down this way, then you come a stay with me, & hiss Clarke with Mrs Bloomer a I will assist you in getting up such a lecture as you desire. We will get up a meeting here a dot shat we can to advance the interests of the society. I think that you a hrs. Eallowell a I have as good as right to infuse what we make of the radical principle into the proceedings of the society, as the miserable time serving conservatives have to infuse their principles of policy & expediency. I think that address of Mrs. V. is altogether too small namby— pamby to go forth from any society claiming the reason we as a society do. Let the thing drop. I will address the women of the state as an individual, in due time, but this is be» tween us. I am not astonished at what you.srite me of Mrs. Gould. The church is the great engine of oppression in our day & you will always find church members trnckling & politic. If my address would serve you as a kind of skeleton for a lecture I will send it to you & you can fill out the heads, more fully. I am hoping to hear a good account of Miss Clarke. i have no doubt a little practice will make you an admirable lecturer. I will go to work at once & write you.the best lecture I can. Dress loose, take a great deal of exercise & be particular about your diet & sleep enoug, the body has great effect upon the mind, In your meetings if you are simple a truth loving no sophistry can confound you. Try and get subscribers for the Lily wherever you go, & make hrs. B pay you something for your trouble. I will talk to her about you an agent for the Lily, she needs an agent & you seelyou could easily attend to that in your meetings. I have a book just adapted to your wants a prize essay in temperance going over the whole ground, which I will send you if you tell me where, or keep it until you come. I sent you the report of the temperance anniversary read it clearly & you will see that many are already prepared to carry this question sith the churches. You.sill see in Clarke of Boston Brainerd and of Philadelphia, the idea hinted at. Shell our society lead or follow public sentinent~. ~ I say lead. Have you read Emersons speech to hossuth? read it and note what he says of majorities. I A Good night E.

July 7th (1892) Dear Friend, Your kind letter reaohed me here & was very welcome; A Having been suhject to much adverse criticism, a few words of praise occasionally are very grateful to the most self ~ sustained reformer. I have always said that the heyday of woman's life is on the shady side of fifty & I know my best speeches have been written since that time. Soil accept your oompliments ash quite sincere. I particularly enjoy your appreciation of my daughter's paper on "Voluntary Motherhood." She prepared it for the Westminster Review but John Chapman the editor, would not accept it unless she dropped out the paragraph on men's lack of the paternal element. That she would not do, so we published it our~ selves. I wish you would call attention to it in the Woman's Journal. I think it a very valuable paper. Some time when you are in New York come & see me & talk over the situation 26.West 61st. Shall return the middle of September. I am here only for the SnHb8Pa ae are in Cousin Gerrit Smith‘s old mansion, just as he left it. Here I spent many of my youthful days, here I first met art Stanton & we rode on horseback together overall these hills. The place is very dear to me for all these old memories of the past. But the familiar faces are all gone & the old walls echo to the voices of A a Y0unger generation. With kind regards for Mr. Liyermore & Your- self 1 Cordially ever Elizabeth Cady Stanton (To Mary Livermore)
