Chicago Woman Says Men Refuse to Correct Wrongs and Abuses Forcingf Action Upon Women.

Members of the "Woman's Franchise league are jubilant over the new life which is said to have entered not only the league but the women of Richmond and the work which Miss Margaret Haley, of Chicago, pointed out for them. In spite of the numerous other attractions in Richmond Saturday night, about 100 attended Miss Haley's lecture at the high school, including several men interested in women's rights. The Garfield orchestra played and Beveral of the club members made short speches preceding Miss Haley's talk. Miss Moorman, president of the "Women's Franchise league, reported that sixty members are now enrolled In the league, several of whom have been added in the last few days. She believes prospects for civic activity among club members are better now than they have ever been. Mrs. M. F. Johnston introduced Miss Haley, but spoke for some time regarding the cleaning up work the women could do here. She suggested that Richmond women take hold of the cleaning up movement here in case the men do not act fully in the matter. Plan Suffrage Parade. There is great enthusiasm among .the members or the league over the national suffrage day celebration j planned here. Open air meetings will ', be held and the women will carry i their banners through the streets in automobiles. The program for the ' day has not been completed. Miss Haley, although unacquainted : w ith local conditions, suggested some of the things she believes women can accomplish here by telling what the 'women of Chicago did when aroused (to the necessity of their influence in ; civic affairs. "It was not until women of Rogers Park, an aristocratic section of Chicago, saw the little white hearse passing their houses repeatedly carrying little victims of the epidemic of scarlet fever there, that they were aroused ' to activity," Miss Haley said. "An investigation was made. The women banding together, found out the cause ot the epidemic and took measures to stop it. "Not only the members of the Suffrage league, but all members of women's clubs in the city should cooperate to work against graft, misappropriation, neglect of health conditions and other abuses the men are permitting to exist. Find Election Frauds. "Last year the women even investigated the election of city officers and found that the present mayor of Chicago was elected because he had 18,000 votes from repeaters at the polls. "Unequal assessment of property was investigated and the women are , now taking steps to have the wrongs corrected. It was found that graft has resulted in the saloon and restaurant keepers being taxed sums as low as ten cents, whereas honest women who , own unpretentious cafetieras pay as much as $25 because they do not bribe the officials. One of the big tasks the women there have before them is to have the school land properly used. "The same conditions exist in every smaller city on a smaller scale. It is time women had a voice in those matters. The men have shown that they will not correct the -wrongs and abuses. Graft, misappropriation and i neglect exist everywhere where men ' have exclusive charge. Morally, socially and from an ethical standpoint, ; the women owe it to strive to better 1 conditions."
