VOL. I No. 36
DEDICATION.
To the poor women without
homes, to the little toilers who
should be in the schools and play-
grounds to the white slaves in
their tragic bondage, and to the
children who die, these pages are
dedicated! May every woman who
ia not too idle to have a thought, or
too vain to have • soul, or too rich
In gold to have a heart, join in the
great struggle for women's free-
dom!
Purity, Liberty, Justice — these
we must work for!

CHRISTMAS SALE
Bazar Held By Equal Suffrage League
a Great Success.
The Christmas Fair, which has
been held during the past week at
lite Fqual Suffrage League head-
quarter-, at Sji) Norlh Charles
street, has made suffragists long for
a suffrage shop to Ik* open all the
year round. Sueh wonderful bar-
gains were displayed there that the
finery of the ordinan store has
come to look very unattractive by
contrast. The whole affair was a
tremendous success, and fully re-
paid the tabors of those who had
arranged it so tastefully.

tion from the meeting, which was a
great success.

\t the name time this splendid
group of college women, number-
ing more than ~**\ silently bespoke
lo anyone who knows the workers
in the suffrage ranks, the real rea-

the eaif-c. Sot more than seven
women of all that fCO an teall>
contrihnting any brain- or any ap-
preciable work or time or money to
the ea»*e of their own et.franchise-
iiunt. It is appalling, hut it is true,
that the college graduate- in Mary-
land do not count in the -nffrage
movement. Where they might to
he leader-, they are men ly inactive
believer-. It is precisely this leth-
argy mi the part of the best edu-
cated and best conditioned among
women that makes the path to vic-
tory sci thorny for those who are

than anything eKe are needed in the
work today. It is easy to Me that
the Makvi.anu Srii k au: Nkws
itself could be improved enormous-
ly by the in-tillation of more brain
pOWtf hit'* its columns.
The organization of a great pa-
rade, such as the parade on May 31
should be, 'temands concentrated

successful.
In the name of your alma mater
then. I) college women, conic for-
ward and otYer up your services any
week day between *) A. M. and 5
I'. M. at K17 North Charles street.
Don't Ik* hoodwinked into thinking
that acquaintance with the truth
has made you free, for you are
slaves just like the rest of u<. and
the burden of your duty is even
greater than ours for the opporiun-
ity that ha- been given to yon.
