: The Colorado situation is always
brought up In debate of this nature
; and Mr.. Gillilland said that all of the
good laws that have been placed on
the Colorado code, and which 1t is
claimed the women placed there, are
taken from the Code of Iowa. Speak.

He showed then how the women would
4 be effected in jury room, and how
she would vote against the one she
was prejudiced against.
3 "A vote should register the will of
the people, and no one should place a
4 ballot in the box who cannot protect
that ballot; and no one should place
a ballot in the box who cannot enforce
the sentiments of that ballot. The
men of this country pay for the privi-
lege of voting, they pay poll tax, sit
on juries, assist In restoring order
during a riot, work the roads, and a
number of other things.
Laws must be made by those who
can enforce them. You can't vote
I. virtue into anyone; and you can't
enforce morals by law. You can pun
ish men for disobeying these laws.
Women cannot enforce laws. If you
women want to do great thing for
Iowa, teach your daughters to be
great home-builders, home-makers,
home,keepers. The place. for the wo-

be allowed the ballot.
The closing part of the evenings
program was vote on whether we
should have women suffrage. Many
stood up in favor of it, and some few
stood up against it. The majority of
the people remained seated. The
majority of those standing for the az

\ Says the Christian Commonwealth:
"As a speaker Mrs. Snowden has prob
ably no equal among women. She pos
sesses in an extraordinary degree the
gife of genuine oratory. No one who
has heard her will ever forget the
rich, round tones of her voice. Lis
tening to the words as the volume
swells and softens one is fascinated as
by the song of contralto soloist. Her
manner, too, is charming and attract.

great desire to see and hear those
law makers of this country who are
prominent in the public eye through

mentality in securing legislation Of

Legislators upon the democratic, side
of the House there are none more
prominent from a political point of
view, or more attractive as an orator
than Hon. Ollie M. James of Kentucky.
