gree during her recent travels in the west, she
added where she had millions OF acres or TINS

plea which could only be settled by irrigation. In
referring directly public parks the speaker en-
phaszed the fact that land. water. sunshine and
air are gifts from Heaven and should be enjoyed
by the people. After referring to the condition OF
the land In the West, and the question OF the
farmer as what politics would do for him. Mrs
Foster continued her remarks from platform atti-
tude speaking OF the JOY which she had expert
enced in standing upon platform and facing an
audience where each person present counted"
A picture waa drawn Of the difference between the
women OF Colorado and other States, and then the
