WOMAN'S EMANCIPA-
TION.
> BY EUGENE V. DEBS.
Had I at my command the fabled
horn of Gabriel, whose blast is to
summon earth’s myriad dead on res-
urrection morn, I would be tempted
to mount high Olympus, crown this
hour and proclaim to all the world
the emancipation of womankind.
Until ‘that hour strikes in which
the womanhood of the world is freed
from economic and political slavery
this earth can never know the mean-
ing of liberty.
In its final analysis, every burden,
every wrong, every injustice of our
so-called civilization rests at last its
crushing weight upon the woman-
hood of the world.
For many centuries this condition
has obtained. Man has been born
of woman enslaved, and he has, in
turn, suffered enslavement.
The most glorious feature of the
present world-wide revolution and
its most potent feature for the weal
of mankind is the millions upon
millions of women who have bravely
and boldly shattered the social and
economic shackles of the ages and
who are inviting their sisters of
every State and clime to join with
them in demanding their freedom
and enfranchisement.
‘With the power and responsibility
of the ballot will come a mental
8 awakening such as the womanhood
of the world has never known.
Intelligent consideration and dis-
cussion of the mighty problems of
this age will become a part of the
mental life of every man and wom-
| an, to the great and permanent profit
| of the race.
Once unlock the fetters that for
countless ages have cramped and
warped and starved the “soul of
woman and you have opened the
very door of heaven.

the economic freedom of woman

And the Socialists of the world

Cady declared that there are 300,-

country, and that the police of the
various cities estimated that there are
1,000,000 more not registered. He
declared that every mement’s delay

today, but to the,human race of the

‘‘By attempting to evade or conceal
the facts regarding the transmission
of life, parents only drive their child-
ren elsewhere to learn what they
curiously wish to know,?’ said Cady,
‘‘and such knowledge acquired from
others is nearly always wrong, and
for the most part, terribly expensive
to the future of the child and its pro-
geny through generations.’’
Cady outlined methods by which pa-
rents could give their children what
he deemed necessary sex instruction
without endangering their morals or
offense to society.
VOTES FOR WOMEN.
WOMEN AND POLITICS.
Butte, Montana has recently seen a
politics. Mrs. W. W. Atwater, wife of
a mining engineer,almost single-hand-
ed threw out a Board of Education
which hadn’t given an accounting in
16 years. ;
‘“The School Board of Butte was a
Secret Society, which re-elected itself
and wouldn’t account for $400,000 or
$500,000 which it spent every year.”
said Mrs. Atwater, ‘‘and nobody would
take the trouble to remedy this con-
dition except our Suffrage Club. Coal
was sold to the schools by one of the
board members at a fancy price and
there were other more obscure rake-
offs. Such a hold did the board have
on the town and newspapers that we
couldfnot even buy advertising space
to publish our facts. So we appealed
to the women (who have the School
franchise in Montana) to oust the
Board and they responded by defeat-
ing the whole corrupt ticket.
Now, having shown what we can do
even with limited suffrage to improve
the community. we are looking to the
clean men of Montana to vote us into
full citizenship in November, 1914.”’
THE ONLY WOMAN 8S INATOR.
Hon. Helen Ring Robinson, State
Senator of Colorado, and Chairman of
the Educational Committee of the
Senate, hsa been lecturing throughout
Pennsylvania on her recent Eastern.
trip. In speaking of women as office
holders she said:
‘‘Colorado has equal suffrage for 19
islature has had several women mem-
bers who have been noted for eham-~
pion measures presented by Women’s
Clubs and similar organizations to
better conditions for working women
and to safeguard children. But, at
the end of the session, the women
found their pet bills so altered in the
Senate, as to be unrecognizable, so
theyldetermined to elect a woman Sen-
ator to protect their bills from emas-
culating amendments in the upper
house.”’
Mrs. Robinson, formerly an editor-
ial writer and book-reviewer for the
Denver News, and a woman deeply
interested in improving the conditions
for working women and children, was
selected at the best qualified woman
for the position.
There were no primary conyentions
in Colorado last year; all nominations

that for the nomination of Mrs. Rob-

INTERNATIONAL
LESSON
(By B. O. SELLERS, Director of Even=-
ing Department, The Moody Bible In-
stitute of Chicage.)
LESSON FOR JUNE 8
JOSEPH FORGIVES HIS BRETHREN
LESSON TEXT—Gen. 45:1-15.
GOLDEN TEXT—‘'Beheld hew goed
and how pleasant it is for brethren te
dwell together in unity.” Ps. 133:1 ,
No story of the Old Testament is
fraught with greater dramatic inter-
est than that which is presented te-
day. Let us get the setting of the pic-
ture. An opulent oriental ceurt; that
man who next to Pharaoh exercised
more power than any congress or as-
sembly, and into whose hamds had
been placed the destinies of a king-
dom by earthly power amd the out-
working of the plam of redemption
by a divine power. Servarts, power,
resources, all at Joseph's cemmand.
‘Before him his brothers whe long age
gave him up as being dead. Out-
side a great calamity resting upon the
people, and nome prepared te meet it
except these of Egypt whose provi-
sion was the result of the work of
this man of Ged. (I. Tim. 4:8). Be-
fore this man, as humble supplicants,
we. see these whe “enireated him de-
spitefully.” Judah's speech was a
revelation te Jeseph, it satisfied him,
and what need, therefore, for further
delay in revealing himself im kis true
character?
Saving Leve.
i. Revelation, vv. 1-3.—Excluding
all from his presence, saving his breth-
ers, Jeseph gave full veat te his jey
and rejeicing. “I am Jeseph;
my father yet live? Their astonish
ment was sc greet as te leave them
speechless, and sgain heunilng meme
' ries oondema them te fear and fer
boding fer they were “treubled in bd
presemce.” Wo have hawe a beautiful
picture ef fergivemems amd saving love.
The eoxaliation of Jesus was te
give repemtamee to Isswel threugh the
forgiveness of sins. Aets §:831. Even
so did Joseph hrimg rupemiumes to his
‘brothers and fengivemsms eof their
wrongs teward him 38 yess belere.
Joseph's severs deslimgs with his
brothers aroused them te a full receg-
nitiem ef their evil desds amd pre-
pared them te receive his pardenm and
forgiveness. J
But the cup is full, ne longer cam
he restrain himself, amd with a leud
witheut, he cried “I am Jeseph.’
Small wender that et such a procla-
matiem by him whem they had so
grieveusly weuaded, ‘they were treu-
bled.” So shall it be when the breth-
ren of Jesus shall “leek upem him
whom they have pierced,” Zech. 12:
10.
11. Recencillatien, vv. 48—The
greatness ef Jeseph is here revealed
in a clear, true light. He imterprets
to his brethers their own actiems with
all that Ged has invelved im it, which
must have beea a great surprise to
his brethers. Jeseph dees met wait
for them te fall at his feet amd sue
for mercy, but seeks to allay their
fears, “Come near te me I pray you.”
These whe by their wicked works
were rightfully cliemated frem him
are imvited to draw nigh, Cel. 1:21
and Matt, 11:28.
Jessph's Grace.
Jeseph was as ome who was dead
and out of that came life fer those of
his own family as well as those out-
side. Even 80 Ged has brougkt life to
meaay out of the death of Jesus, work-
ing salvation for all out of the mest
colossal and infameus crime ever per-
petrated—the cricifixion. Joseph was
“semt” (v. 7), to save these very ones
(Johm 1:11). It wes a “great deliver
ence,” see Heb. 2:3. Here, again, we
see Joseph's intimate reélatioms with
God, “it was net you that seat me hith-
er, but Ged.”
to look at life, Rem. $:28,
i. Preclamatien, vv. $-15.—The
news of this meeting came te Pha-
raoh, vv. 2, 16, with the result that
he commanded Jacob and all of his
household to be brought imto Egypt.
Having received good things them-
selves, they are commanded to go
with haste, and tell others, Matt. 28:7.
The first call is always “come” (v. 4),
and that is always fellewed By the
command of to “ge” (v. 9). Joseph
was not ashamed of hia old father and
his brothers in the days of his pros-
perity, and added thet whem they
should dwell in Egypt they were to
be “mear unto me,” see Phil. 1:23,
Johm 14:3, When the brothers reached
Jacob amd told him that Joseph was
alive amd exalted im Egypt he could
not believe them, and kis heart faint-
ed. Can we be surprised? Yet con-
viction was at hand im the shape of
the wagons laden with the rich spoil
of Egypt, vv. 21, 27, 28. Again God
appears to Jacob, 46:2, 3, and adds the
assurance of his own worag.
Lessons of the Lesson.—The great-
ness of Joseph’s character is revealed
in the hour of the fulfillment of his
dreams—tears, not vindictiveness,
manifest the conditiem of his heart.
Jacob recognizes God's great plan,
