was mainly given over to protection
from invasion from without and re-
bellion from within. Nowadays the
community votes about matters not
purely militant. And the questions
do not deal solely with those who
fight.
problems that used to be left solely
in the hands. of women. Problems
dealing with the cure for poverty,
poor sick, insane, the aged, the down
and OUTS and mainly education and
the care. of little children.
Its ridiculous to think that men
can handle these problems alone. Men
have done we'll, but in many in
stances their efforts have met with
ridiculous failure. All these prob
lens have become the daily business
of bureau and legislatures. Now the
work has been taken out of the
women's hands and is centralized in
the government. Now it is necessary
that women must care for these prob
| lens by virtue of their natural quail
fications and follow them to the gov
eminent. That is the chief reason
why women want to vote.
Individual Supremacy.
when we depiore boss rule and
buying and selling of votes, there are
worse things. One OF them Is the sys-
tenn of individual supremacy; that is,
for one man to hold another down and
tell the under man what the under
man wants. We say, extend the prinr
cipal of democracy. and include all
the people. Now 1t includes only half
the people. s
"All American men, know, do not
| want their women classified with the
insane and criminal; but that is just
exactly what they do. The law is
| Unequal"
Here Mrs. Boissevatt remarked on
| the jury law, which says that a
criminal should be tried by his or her
equal. The law goes on to say that
women are not the equals of men.
THAT being the case when woman
is being tried by male jury she is
not being tried by her equal"
Then the speaker moved to former
| Sheriff Frank I'll. Sommer, who sat at
her right, and said: isn't that right,
professor?"
"You win" was Mr.. Sommer's re-
joinder.
Continuing Mrs. Boissevant said:
Those 100000 women must be pro-
tected. Tho only way they can be
protected is to give them the ballot

MACHINERY has changed condi-
| lions. She had to go to the factory
where her work had gone to do the
| household duties. She did not go of
her volition, In her home she had
| the protection of her menfolk In
the factory she has no protection,
| and in many cases is merely num-
| Der to the man who employs her.
Now you must get women out of
| the factory and back to the home,
| or get her protection in the factory.
| You have to do something to protect
| the race. 1t is deteriorating because
| it is being mothered by exhausted
| women. If you get themA back in the
home and guarantee them a good
| living, food and comfort them, I'll
| quit my campaign for the ballot, but
until then I'll go. on fighting"
| DIR. Warfield, the next speaker,
| talked on the modern "crazes." He
| deplored the new form Of dances and
the popularity of motion picture
shows among young men, and the
interpretation of real art by youths.
/ Now biological.
In times past the dances used to
be round and square in fact they
were geometrical, but now they are
biological Such dances as the
bunny hug grizzly glide etc, have
come into vogue. / hope the next
evolution will be theological and
termed the calvin kick or the war
field wiggie-waggle.' The measure
of life today seems to be the prob
lem OF how to be happy without an

that will grow to be educated men.
