Early Suffrage Work.
[By Rich,d B. B. Wood.l

IBy Richd B b. Wood1
People are oftentimes heard talking
about woman suffrage in Iowa, as II
1t was new idea just dawning upon
the republic, and that the Iowa sulfra-
gettes Of today were pioneers in the
movement. This subject so treated Is
a reminder of the old saying, "Th ere
is nothing new under the sum- and
the workers in the cause in Iowa to-
day, are merely family echoing the
words of the able, cultured and ear

strong convictions and the courage
of their convictions. They surrender

butes in word or costume, but wen,
about their campaigning in a true
womanly way, compelling recognition
if not endorsement and the respect
of their opposers, and this at a
period far more prejudieal against
woman's suffrage than is found today.

.MASON'S INSIGNIA
IN THIRD HOME
Interesting Bit Of History is Recalled
In Connection With the
Square and Com.
pass.
GIFT OF SAM BRIDGES
ls Carved Out Of Solid Granite and
Has Been Through One Fire
Saved From Old
Building.
GIFT OF SAM BRIDGES

Ths Masonuic emblem which was
put in place in the new temple last
week has a unique history. This will
be the third building in which 1t has
been installed. 1t was the gift of Sam
D. Bridges, we'll known jsweler Of
Keokuk.
The emblem was used first in the
Smith Hamill building at Fourth and
Johnson streets. To the best recollec.
ton of some of the older members OF
the order, 1t was forty years ago, that
1t was placed in the old hall on
South Fourth street.
When the Masons moved into the
big building at Fourth and Main
streets in 1891, 1t was installed in
front Of that structure. 1t remained
here until the building was destroyed
by fire on Jan. IL. 1912. After the
fire the emblem was taken from the
ruined wall and put into a place of
safe-keeping.
When the new building was deter
mined upon it was decided to place
the emblem in its third home, This
was done last week.
Sam D. Bridges who presented the
piece to the Masons was prominent
! jaweler in Keokuk in the early days.
At the time that the National GENE
terry was being established. he rece.v-
ed commission from w. W. Belk.
nap, then secretary of war, to prepare
the head stones for the soldiers
graves. Belknap's term in offlce was
from 1869 to 1876.
1t was about this time, as near as
can be recollects6 by some of the
older members of the Masons, that

out of granite the square and am

pleted front wall of thu new home o

made out of granite and weigh
something like 200 pounds
An interesting fact in connectio'
with the stone is that it carries tn
inscription Masonic hail." while th,

the principal told us about the school

land, and explained the purpose OF
having such school government He
then asked us if we would like to
form school city. We took a vote
on the subject and nearly all the
pupils voted to try it.
We then appointed a committee to
draft constitution and had another
meeting to adopt it. The constitution
provided for school city with Off.

County of Honolulu All the pupils
above the fourth grade had a right
to vote and hold office.
We held our first election in No
vember, 1907, and chose mayor, a
board Of supervisors, a sheriff. a
clerk and an attorney. All the other
officers were appointed by the super
visorS.
AT first the officers were awkward
and noisy in carrying on the work of
the school city. This was because
they were new to their duties, but
after while they became more clever
and orderly. think this was be-
cause they understood their duties
better and realized that the school
city was organized to have the school
work done better and more orderly.
The police were the noisiest of all
the officers. They thought that they
must arrest for every little thing and
so thew had the office crowded Wit h
offenders after each recess. The
police judge held court after the noon
recess and all small offenders were
given a talk and let go, but the more
serious cases were sent to the prin-
cipal. The police are more careful
now, they try to settle little Quarrels
and fights outside

their names and dates in the garden

very funny stories about the lutte

The board of supervisors meet in
the office each Monday at a quarter
to twelve to talk about the business

reports of the different officers. : 'o
reports read at these meetings arr
