Topeka CKan) Cor. Kansas City
Journal.-Kansas women are coming
to the front rapidly as bankers. Ten
years ago only two women held Off

state Today there are more than
$50. Of this number 4 are Presi-
dents, Is Vice Presidents, so Cash

Directors. This doesn't take into &C

ers. It only includes the list OF wo-

This declaration was made by Miss

COLLEGE GRADUATES IN PoLlTIc
How They Have Raised Republican
Ideals in New York County.

Ideals in New York County.
Charles Johnston in Harper's
Weekly.-The essence of the warfare
waged by Herbert Parsons as chair
man of the New York county COM
mittee was this: We all remember
the period when MIR. Odell, ex-gover-
nor of the state, was the dominant
power in the state organization We
all understand, more or less clearly
and wildly, the type of personal
politics Mr.. Odell represented and rep
resents. Mr.. Odell was and is as
frank in his way as Richard Croker
was in his. And Mr.. Oden had ad
vanced his outposts from his upstate
base of operations down to New York
city and county. He was strongly in
trenched when Mr.. Parsons was
chosen chairman of the county COM
mittee. A fight was inevitable, and a
fight to finish. Mr.. Odell represented
the principles and methods of an earl
Ter age. Mr. Parsons stood for the
ideals and purposes which have, in the
last few years, been working a revo
luton throughout the whole country,
and, in furthering his ideals, in plan
ming his champaign, Mr.. Parsons had
a splendid inspiration; the young col
lege graduate in politics. He worked
with and through the universities,
aiding and conseling the founding of
political clubs of undergraduate and
graduate students, and getting the
young college men 30 enter the active
work of politics, and to undertake the
duties of local organization work, es-
pecially in New York county; local
work where clean hands and clear
head are especially needed.
When the contest for the control OF
New York county began, the agents
of the old machine came down to
the city, bringing with them the same
arguments and inducements that had
so often an so completely carried con-
yiction in times past. To their aston
ishment they found that, with young
graduates of Columbia, of Yale, OF
Harvard, whose minds were formed
to logic of another school, these argu-

paid big dividends. She now draws
a big salary simply for passing ON
loans.
Miss Isabelle Marty, of Langford,
has active charge of the bank there
since her father died.
Miss Clara NJ Hallett, of Rush
Center, is the active manager OF the
bank there.
While Mrs. Mary E. Cotton is Pres
ident of the bank at Sabetha, she
lets subordinates run it. However,
she keeps in close touch and scrutI-
nizes the loans frequently.

ments were not only not convincing
they were even rejected with very
genuine indignation. So great is the
influence of the point of view.
Working with these new district
captains, Mr.. Parsons was able to win
district after district in a long, uphill
fight against an enemy who contested
every inch obstinateiy, doggedly, and
with all the animus and resource OF
the personal politics of the old school.
Mr.. Parsons fought and won. He had
done constructive work of permanent
value, and, when he resigned the
of the New York county
committee, 80 per cent of the univer-
sity graduates in the city were ac-
lively interested and taking part in
politics, bent on furthering the better
ideals of our time.
