A large and representative audi-
the services,1 ence, composed of men andi women,
attended the equal suffrage meeting
at the courthouse last night.
The meeting was conducted by Miss
Lavinia Engle, of Washington, D. C.,
field secretary of the National Wo-
man’s Suffrage Organization and Mrs.
Helen Moore of Texas City, chairman
of the 17th Senatorial District of
Texas.
These two ladies have appeared in
Palapios, Blessing and Bay City this
week and have organized equal suf-
frage clubs at each place.
Miss Engle is a gifted talker and
entertained her hearers last night
very much, indeed. She has the de-
fense of he^ political inclinations

connection with the leader’s remarks
caused each one present to come to
the realization that social service
work is, indeed, the work of the
church.
At the close of prayer by Mrs.
Foulks-, the discussion was opened
with these thoughts:
Is it possible to segregate vice
germs ?
Why?
Which is the wiser process to build
hospitals and reform schools or de-
stroy the breeding places?
If that be true, does not the duty
we. owe ourselves first, and the de-
pendents second, call forth action?
What to your mind are Bay City’s
stagnant pools? And what process
i shall we as Christian women take to
|have them drained?
| A number of stagnant pools were
'j pointed out that were infecting the
youth of the city.
Profitable amusements and pas-
times during the evening for the
young people was considered. On mo-

by the bride’s sister, Miss Louise Wad-

to Columbus in a car late in the aft-

Episcopal Church, and were married

will make their future home.

by members of that firm. Miss Eliza-
