The Idaho recorder. [volume] (Salmon City, Idaho) 1886-1927, 1904-11-10


The Oregonian says;
"Mrs. Fred T. Dubois, wife OF the /
senior senator from Idaho, was In
Portland yesterday and expressed her
self as greatly interested In the sue
cess OF the Lewis and Clark exposi- |
tion. Mrs. Dubois Is the national |
treasurer and member OF the Con- |
gress OF Mothers and she is anxious
that the organization be invited 10
meet here next May. The triennial
meeting, which Is always held In
Washington City, will be next Febru-
AIRY, and 1t will there be decided
where the May meeting will be held.
1t was Mrs. Dubois intention TO ad-
dress the various womens' clubs OF
the city on the subject and invite
them to send delegates to the trien-
nial meeting, but the breyity Of her
visit precluded that idea.
| The establishment of model play
grounds and.nurseIy at the Lewis and
Clark fair Is a matter which Mrs.
Dubois would very much like TO ac-
complish. She Is chairman Of the
model nursery committee OF the con-
gress and takes deep interest In
such matters. AS western member
} of the congress she would like to
bring the organization to the coast
and to establish the creche at the
fair under It's supervision.
1.-THE board OF lady managers has
been criticised for not establishing
the model Fairgrounds and nursery
! at the Worlds Fair" she said, land
/ hope the Lewis and Clark commits
! sioners will see to 1T that the same
mistake Is not made here. The chill
dren have a right 30 something, you
know, and 1t is rather hard for 4
: mother to carry one or more babies
Z all day. There should be IA building
: for the little ones and beautiful play
I grounds around 1t. A part OF thu
womens building could easily bt
utilized for a nursery so that II
: would not take large appropriation
"Wbat other work does the con
gress of women take up?
"Oh, many lines. Perhaps thu
greatest interest Is now centering II
the Juvenile court question. Mrs
Frederic Schoff. of Philadelphia, whit
is president OF the Congress OF Moth
ers, is also president Of the Juyenil
o. Court Association, and she has don
- much good work toward establishing
these courts in different states. Sh
will visit Utah and Idaho the last o
this month and early In November
speaking on that subject. The won
en- of Idaho are now agitating tn
= subject and will have bill presente,
to the legislature the coming wlnte
which they hope to pass. The mine
are opening up so rapidly In our stat
that this Is necessary foresight
save our boys from possible contac
20. with criminals. The women OF Ida
. no are voters, you know, and the
are also thinkers, and when a pril
ciple concerning childhood Is at stak
they are very determined.
"What is your opinion OF equi
suffrage after seeing il tried in Id
'"' ho, Mrs. Dubois?
II think that every mother aft
study OF the question sees the az
vantage OF equal suffrage. l ha'
been keen admirer OF that gre;
and good woman who stands out as
bo type among women-Susan B. Al
thony. / cannot help but feel TIL
suffrage Is great responsibility
Every woman in Idaho this year
she thinks at all-will agree with m
In our state, and knowing the cond
tions In eastern Oregon, the sar
no. question that we have to meet the
- this year will later come to the wol
en- of this state--tbat Of the Norm
question
II am glad that the women OF Id
no have a vote In deciding wheth
. that relic of barbarism, polygamy,
to remain In the state. This is rea
the first time since they have {
joyed equal rights that they ha
been called upon TO decide questi
80, involving a moral principle and
eyes are upon them.
II notice In today's Oregoniau u
no. Mrs. J. Ellen Foster. who spoke
- Weiser, Idaho, Saturday eveniI
stated that a moral question or Isl
should have no place In politics.
also notice that the paper says 1
D was a surprise to all her beare
coming as it did from former le
. urer OF the W. c. T. u. and II
one OF the leaders of the equal suffr
o. cause who but short time ago
90 these women that they would b'
80. power for good in the state II Z
.,.I could only secure the ballet.
'arv ~ 90 further than Mrs. Foster
=, say that politics should play no
r. IA moral question OF issue, and al
80. nv recent travel among the wot
80 of northern Idaho cannot help
believe that they feel the same
do.
"In June 1894, the national lea
OF women's organizations met
