with her husband, can vote. Here, then, is a lawful right
for women to vote at school meetings, and as there can be no
impropriety in it, we advocate it. We believe that it will
work good. Our Union school is something that all should
feel an active interest in. We hope, then, that those ladies
entitled to vote will exercise the rights that the law
grants them. To give these suggestions a practical effect,
we cheerfully publish the following notice:

The undersigned respectfully request those ladies residing
in District No. 3, of the township of Sturgis, who are
entitled to vote at the annual meeting, to assemble in Mrs.
Pendleton's parlor, at the Exchange Hotel, on Friday evening
next, August 28, at 7:30 o'clock, to consider the matter of
exercising the privilege which the law gives them.

This call is signed by about twenty of the best women of the
borough. Last week we called attention in _The Revolution_
to the earnestness of the English women in urging their
claim to the right of suffrage, and appealed to American
women from their example. We hear from different sources
that American women will attempt, to some extent, to be
registered this year as voters, and we hope so brave an
example will become a contagion. A boastful warrior once
demanded of his foe, "Deliver up your arms." The answer was,
"Come, if you dare, and take them!" Let women become brave
enough to take their rights, and there will not be much
resistance. According to their faith and their courage, so
shall it be.
