AY. t’. T. r. Meetimr
The Woman s Christian Temperance
Union held an enthusiastic meeting at
the home of Mrs. J. F. Sims Tuesday
afternoon, Dec. 9. Several officers
were elected to fill vacancies caused
by removal from the city.
The widows or mothers pension bill
was discussed, led by Mrs. John Wal-
lace. We learned that twenty states
were granting pensions* to mothers
and widows. A communication from
Governor C'ruce stated if the women !
of Oklahoma wanted a bill of this)
kind "to get busy and create senti-
ment.
The W. C. T. IT. of Blackwell sent
a telegram to the governor of Con-
necticut in appeal for the pardon
of Mrs. Bessie AYakefield. who was!
recently sentenced to hang in that
state. Their sentiments were in har-

Smith, who said: “In those enlighten-
ed states of the west where women
help to make the laws, they should
suffer equal penalties \fith men. But
in the east, in Connecticut, where the •:
law still classes women with cliil- j
dren and imbeciles, let no woman be
compelled to pay a penalty which it
