problems which involve the nations of the world, then the people
of the States must see to it that other men sit in the seats of
the highest.

In the beautiful Memorial issued by the Board of Directors of the
National American Woman Suffrage Association were affectionate
tributes from those who were officially associated with her for many
years. Among the many from eminent men and women which were reproduced
in the Memorial were the following:

It was not my privilege to know Dr. Shaw until the later years of
her life but I had the advantage then of seeing her in many
lights. I saw her acting with such vigor and intelligence in the
service of the Government, and, through the Government, of
mankind, as to win my warmest admiration. I had already had
occasion to see the extraordinary quality of her clear and
effective mind and to know how powerful and persuasive an
advocate she was. When the war came I saw her in action and she
won my sincere admiration and homage.

WOODROW WILSON,
President of the United States.

(President and Mrs. Wilson, who were on the way home from France, sent
a wireless message of sympathy and a handsome floral tribute from the
White House.)

The world is infinitely poorer by the death of so great and good
a woman.

THOMAS R. MARSHALL,
Vice-President of the United States.

Dr. Anna Howard Shaw was a member of the Executive Committee of
the League to Enforce Peace. She was constant in her attendance,
full of suggestion and earnest in support of the cause. It was my
great pleasure to speak with her from many a platform in favor of
the League and to enjoy the very great privilege of listening to
her persuasive eloquence and her genial wit and humor, which she
always used to enforce her arguments. She thought nothing of the
sacrifice she had to make and was only intent upon the
consummation of our purpose. She was a remarkable woman. I deeply
regret her death. There were many avenues of great usefulness
which a continuance of her life would have enabled her to pursue.
Her going is a great loss to the community.

WILLIAM HOWARD TAFT,
