The Woman s Tribune

agement which, at last, compelled her to publication in 1909.

The Tribune, unlike other organs of a party or cause, was filled with varied information on many subjects. Thus while giving the facts and the reports concerning the subject of Woman's Suffrage, and telling what women were doing in many directions, the paper also contained articles representing the latest ideas in philosophy, religion and other subjects. The editor was always on the alert for everything new, and ever ready "to prove all things and hold fast the good."

Her paper was ever open to new suggestions and hospitable to every earnest thought. For instance, in the issue of July 25, 1903, which is before me as I write, I find beside editorials, interesting quotations from her exchanges, a full account of the Federal Suffrage Association, with a blank for signers to the suffrage petition, an account of Lady Somerset's address to the World's W. C. T. U. convention, and Mrs. Lockwood's attendance at the meeting of the Press Club, also an article by Frances Power Cobbe on the "Expediency of Woman's Suffrage," a sketch of the Klondike Gold Mines as represented by Mr. Fitzgerald, and an article by the editor re-printed from the "East and West," Bombay, India, on "The Hand and the Brain," besides choice bits of verse.
