WOMAN SENATOR TALKS TO LARGE AUDIENCE JIBS. HELEN' RIXG ROBIXSOX HERE UXDER AUSPICES OF STATE SUFFRAGE ASSX. The Court Boom Was Nearly Filled AVlth Women Tuesday Xifilit Few Men Present Conditions In Colorado Told. The women of Honesdale came out In force Tuesday night to hear Mrs. Helen Ring Robinson, Senator from Colorado, talk In the court house of the movement concerning votes for .women. There was a sprinkling of men present but It was obvious that the fair sex of Honesdale are be coming very much Interested In tho suffrage movement. Mrs. Robinson Is distinguished by the fact that she is tho only woman Senator in tho United States or perhaps in the world. She came here under the( auspices of the Pennsylvania State Suffrage Association. Dorin's Boy Orchestra rendered selections be fore and after the address. W. J. Barnes Introduced the speaker in a few well chosen words. The meet ing was opened by a short benedic tion given by Rov. C. C. Miller. "The movement," said Mrs. 'Rob inson, "is more than merely a ques tion of suffrage. It Is a world-wide spiritual movement. The white fire of idealism is in it. It is closely allied to the best interests in both men and women. All political par ties will sooner or later put woman suffrage in their platforms." She named the several states where the right of women to vote has been placed on the statute books. These are California, Arizona, Wisconsin, Ohio, Illinois, Colorado, Utah, Idaho, and Wyoming. These states, she said, are going to decide who will be our next President. In the west the party lines are not closely drawn. They are the doubtful states. Women who have gained the ballot there, are not for the most part not strict partisans. This is rather to be expected when we take Into consideration tho character of the women and the character of the men who have been holding office heretofore. The women themselves will decide the question. The des tinies of the country will bo settled only by the vote of western women. , The Eastern women, she went on to say, are not getting their share of.it. They are falling behind. Mrs. Robinson said that she had been offering a gilt clock in many places where she had been to any one who could give her a good logi cal reason why women should not vote. She said that she still had the clock. "Some of tho objections to wom en voting in Colorado," said Mrs. Robinson, as offered by eastern peo ple are, first that men and women are not alike. The husband votes one way and tho wife another, there by causing family troubles. Anoth er objection is that women spend all their time in voting and neglect their homes. We in Colorado do not spend all our time voting. We do not vote any oftener than they do In Pennsylvania. In my precinct we vote in the Sunday school room of a church. In the early days It was customary to vote in the back room of a saloon. It usually takes me twenty minutes to vote and I have plenty of time to devote to my home. Another objection frequently held up in New England is that they may lose the respect of the men. The women are fearfully disturbed over the fact. Tho men of Colorado have not lost the respect for their woman, rather their respect has In creased since the women have gain ed the ballot. Many say the enfranchisement of failure. The loudest in voicing this nre the corporate Interests, liquor dealers and others. Tho rest of us are quite well satisfied after eigh teen years of equal suffrage. There Is no talk of taking the vote away from women. It could not be done for tho women would have to vote on the proposition as well as men." Mrs. Robinson in a light hearted and pleasant manner held the at tention of her audience throughout and there were times when much en thusiasm was shown. "Tho most serious argument In favor of suffrage," said Mrs. Roh inson, "is the real argument of the evening, something people should take homo and think about; the one logical argument is, the eternal jus tlce of the ballot. Tho woman has just as much right to it as man. The emblem of suffrage Is life, liberty rtri hflTinlnosfl. Tf In Tint n niipntfnn eternal Justice of the thing! The justice is taken up in one thought, The ballot is a wish. When a man votes he makes a wish. Is there aiiy justice in the thought that woman have no right to wish? I believe the home Is the proper place for women; but It Is the proper place for men too. The State of Pennsyl vania needs a woman to do the State housekeeping, The men don't know how. It needs a woman to see that there Isn't any batching going on. We clean out the closets and clean up politics generally. Add to tho states betterment by getting the ballot as soon as you can. "Women are Interested In pri mary things that do not appeal to man. Man provides for the home, You look after the spending, and when the state touches the home you will be prepared to fight for your interests. The men look after their business Interests with care but when the state touches their Interests they guard them. There Is no fault to bo found with the manner in which business interests of the state have been handled, but there needs to bo a woman to look after the primary things wnjch directly or Indirectly affect the home. "The greatest discovery of the age In 1900 Vas the discovery of women by herself. "The things that will Interest women when given the ballot will be the care of the child on tho streets in the cities. It will give vit al strength when you get the vote. Leave the business interests to man. You look after the home Interests and the interests of the other wom en. You can do that better than the men in tho legislature. Women have a stronger idea of mercy. It is stronger than man's element of Justice. The two should work to gether to make tho' perfect state. The woman will bend the general law to fit the Individual while tho man Invariably bends the individual to conform to the general law. He does it, too, as much as possible! "Women are better than men in certain ways. They are nearer the spiritual world than men. Their moral aspect is stronger than in men. Some of the things the wom en, have done for Colorado are put ting on the statute books laws re lating to women and child. In all legislation concerning the home, women and children, Colorado leads the way. Until women were given the ballot they were not the guard ians of their own children. It took just fifteen minutes after tho first legislature assembled after the suf frage law had been passed to change this. It took Massachusetts fifty five years. 'Mrs. Robinson told of the hard ships endured b ythe pioneer men and women of Colorado; of the wom an who guarded her children and her home with the rifle while the husband was away. Was it surpris ing, she asked, that the descendants of these brave women should want the ballot to protect their home now that the rifle is no longer necessary7 "ine problem or capital and la bor, migration, tho white slave evil and many others is the pioneer band ot today. It is tho frontier hand of the twentieth century through which valllant men and women are hewing tueir way, seeking the solution of the problems. They are still pioneer women, the Jane Adams' of to-dav. Tho women will make straight the path which the leaders have hewn. It isn't the work of men, any more to travel along with axes and women with muskets but still the path is difficulty. In summing up Mrs. Robinson mado an urgent appeal to the men to support the cause and give women tho ballot. "If tho woman is unwill ing," she said, "give it to her any way. If she don't want it there must be something wrong, so she needs the ballot. See that she gets it. Tho women who really want it can get it fo"r themselves." SUFFBAGETTS MEET.

Ho Was Born in Xcw Jersey nnd Came to Wnyne In 1874, Living Hero Ever Since With Exception of Timo During War. In tho death of Lewis A. Lybolt, of Fallsdale, the community has sus tained a distinct loss and Wayne county has lost one of her most pro gressive and best farmers and one of her most loyal and patriotic citi zens. Mr. Lybolt was born at Han burn, N. J., in November, 1843, and grew to manhood in Sullivan county, N. Y., where ho received his educa tion in the public schools. He com menced lumbering in early life and followed this occupation until his re moval in 1S74 to Wayne county, with the exception of tho period of the Civil war when he rendered service to his country and his flag. Since the war he has devoted his time to the development of his farm at Fallsdale, which is. one of tho fin est in Damascus township. Its splen did condition is due to the unremit- LEWIS A. LYBOLT. ting care 'and energy which he has bestowed upon it. He was respected everywhere as one of the best citi zens in his tqwnshlp and county. Mr. Lybolt served his country for over two years during the Civil war. He enlisted in 18G3 in the 9th New York heavy artillery under Capt. Wood, with whom he served. In the army of the Potomac and with Sher idan In the Shenendoah. His first engagement was at Cold Harbor in 18C4, after which he was engaged in the battle near Harper's Ferry, Md. When the Rebels marched. on Wash ington his command helped to drive them back, following them along the Washington Pike to Snicker's Gap, where they had a bat tle which resulted in heavy losses on the rebel side. They remained near Harper's Ferry and on September la, 1SU4, took part in the battle of Winchester. At this battle tho color bearer of the regiment was hot in the early part of the fray. Mr. Ly bolt seized the colors before they could touch tho ground and carried them at the head of the battle lino for the remainder of the battle. The next day the Rebels made a stand at Fisher's Hill where Mr. Lybolt's command was again engaged and they subsequently fought them at Newmarket and Staunton, near Richmond. They then came back to Middletown in the Shenendoah val ley, and on October 19 met the enemy at Cedar Creek. In this bat tle Mr. Lybolt's company bore the brunt of the fighting and after the battle was reduced to nineteen men. When Sheridan reached them they forced the Rebels to retreat, tak ing a large number of prisoners. In November the regiment marched to Richmond where they encamped for tho Winter. On April 2nd, 18G5, they participated in the charge on Richmond, and Mr. Lybolt was shot in the chin while scaling the breast works. The ball lodged In his neck and he was taken to the City Point Hospital from where he was trans ferred to the hospital at Washing ton, from which he was honorably discharged In June, 1865, when he returned to his old home. In August, 1868. 'Mr. Lybolt mar ried Miss Sarah J. Slsson of Sullivan county, New York. They made their nome in Mongaup valley until they settled on the farm in Damascus in 1874. Five children have blessed their union of whom two now sur vive, Mr. Lybolt is survived by his wife and Lewis Lybolt of Fallsdale who made his homo with his par ents and assisted in conducting the farm, and one daughter, Mrs. C. R. Jackson, of BInghamton, N. Y. Mr. Lybolt was. a member of the Odd Fellows and of Captain James Ham Post, No. 198, G. A. R. Ho was a man of deep religious conviction. He had served his township as super visor and was one of the County Board of Viewers appointed by tho Court of Common Pleas of Wayne county under the provisions of the Act of Assembly of 1911.
