Mrs. Lease and the Pr0n0un Gle

Mrs. Mary Lease, of Kansas, has a
mighty small opinion of that part of the
constitution of the United States which
sets forth the necessary requisites for a
member of congress, and proposes to
change the meaning of the venerable
document in that particular.
Mrs. Lease has grown weary of a rep
resentative in the halls of the nations
capitol. from the district of Kansas in
which she lives, whose sole claim to
fame rests upon the fact that he scorn
to wear IA luxury of apparel known as
half-hose. She further believes that "a
person who is refined enough to wear,
not only half-hose, but full length no.
siery, will reflect more credit upon the
Sun1ower state and that she is the
''fellow" to do it. Right here is where
the provisions of the constitution gov
erning such cases conflict with her own
ideas of what qualifications are neces-
sary to make ii congressman.
The constitution requires that a rep
resentative in congress shall have been
seven years a citizen of the United States
and shall be an inhabitant of that state
in which she" shall be chosen. That
one little word she" is what is causing
all of Mrs. Leases trouble: how to get
e that is the question. She cannot
comply literally with this condition, for
a change of raiment does not change
the person. She a only be included
on the general ground that the
use of the pronoun ''he" as a pronoun
of multitude indicates both sexes. But
be that as it may, Mrs. Lease proposes
to test the question and if a can
be elected to the congress of the United
States she will be that one, or know the
reason why. i
