reinforce their arguments of yester-
day. but will also reply, probably not
in the kindest of tones, to the argu-
ments which the antis will present this

began her speech. In a well modulated
voice and in a manner free and un-
affected, the suffrage champion pre-
sented her reasons.
II have been asked not to present
arguments for woman suffrage be-
cause you have already pledged your
selves In your platform to submit the
question to the vote of the people,
said the speaker, but / come to ask
you to put the same energy, enthusi-
asm and hard work into this bill that
you put into other measures
Surely you recognize the need OF
giving the women the ballot and the
right to a voice in her affairs. l say
this in tine face of petitions which
you have received to the contrary,
which represent only very small
minority Of women.
'The women In the homes, in the
schools and In professional and bust
ness life demand that they be given a
right to participate in. the making of
the laws which they have to obey.
women who have entered the field
of men need laws of which men have
little understanding. Women in stores
are in need of laws to protect them
from grinding conditions of which only
women know.
Although women are now in the
business world, nothing viii ever
change their desire to marry and to
hold in their arms their own chill
dren."
Women have their failings," she
admitted, "as we are sometimes re-
minded by the men, but if you give
us the ballot we will learn how to care
for it, even as you have.
WOMEN WANT JUSTICE
Women don't want to be placed ,on
a PEDESTAL; she wants to be accorded
simple justice; not treated generously
or Ghivalrously, but as a human be-
ing capable of the exercise of her
rights
That her remarks had met with the
approval of number of her hearers
was evident from the hearty applause
of the legislators as Mrs. Lewis con-
cluded.
She was followed by Mrs. Frances
Noel, who urged that suffrage be
granted so that women would have the
opportunity to pass laws to prevent
the spread of tuberculosis and other
diseases brought about through over
taxing workers in the various lines of
industry.
'I come to you as a representative
of the wage earning classes" said Mrs.
Noel, land ] want to tell you that the
women of this class are first in their
demand for the ballot"
Mrs. Alice e. Brodwell made the
concluding arguments for the suffra-
gists by saying that suffrage should be
given American women because of the
great influence 1t would have in con-

constant occurrence.
The Russo-German frontier is
marked in similar fashion, and here

constantly raiding over the border In
search OF poultry and pigs.

This is artificially delimited by pillars
of iron and wood placed a mile apart
These are supplied alternately by the
Canadian and United States govern

Woods to the Red River Valley. Be-
yond, mounds of earth and cairns of
stone are used as marks.
The pillars are hollow castings,
