Whai no lira- of labor and labor rondi nons relates almost oTidusiiolv to meii'nnd their unions Women nnd children seldom h.ne made lliennohes hoard So it is to the eierlasting honor of the wouton's colleges of tho I nited State that their graduates voting women of courageous and ardent spirit with a dojiro to share their advantages with others es fortunate were the first to go out without em oiiragoiiieul or e on the promise of success, and live with the wive, and daughters of mill towns to lie their champions and their mice in the ears of a hurried and distracted public.
