...amazed to see in the columns of your very readable magazine reference in the July 18 number to the President of the World's Woman's Christian Temperance Union as "crafty old Mrs. Ella Boole." Mrs. Boole is respected and admired by thousands for her statesmanlike leadership and wholehearted devotion to a great cause and the use of such disrespectful terms will only merit the contempt and disgust of decent people for the one who uses...
...earn this week the thanks of both Wets and Drys by saying the W. C. T. U. has a "crafty old head" in Mrs. Ella A. Boole (TIME, July 18).

He gave "Papa" scarcely another thought until about a week after Sister Ella's death, which he chanced to read about...
...Harry Frank Guggenheim, U. S. Ambassador to Cuba. The precise moment at which Mrs. Sabin, who says she originally favored Prohibition for her two sons' sake, decided to found the Women's Organization for National Prohibition Reform occurred during a Congressional hearing in 1928 at which Mrs. Ella Boole, the crafty old head of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union, spoke. "I represent," shouted Ella Boole, "the women of America!" "Well, lady," Mrs. Sabin recalls remarking to herself, "here's one woman you don't represent."
