MRS. FALLEN MAKES APPEAL TO WOMEN
 IN SUFFRAGE CAUSE
DELIVERS ADDRESS ON THE AIMS AND NEEDS OF THE cHATAu.
 QUA MOVEMENT IN STATE

of Warren, before the Women's Po- litical Chatauqua of Arizona Her sub. ject was. Women in Politics" She said in part:
 Even though the Women of Arizo- na have been granted the right of suffrage you still hear some people harping on that old theme about wom en staying in the home and of her be ing out of place in politics. Womans place is certainly in the home and do not believe that politics or any other influence will ever be strong enough to take her from the home. hut what is our land and nation but home for us all and may not women help to make this national home bet ter as well as the private home? Does 1t not seem strange that this same protest has not been raised when women have devoted their time to the church. to society. to charity work and the clubs, for such things often take omen away from the home as much as politics may, still men do not cry out against the church for the same reason.
 believe that when the men of Ari zCna granted to women the right of suffrage without her making any spe cial fight for it. that such wasequiva lent to his saying to her. "We have failed and we need your help; come in and help us out" Women do not wish to come to the rescue, but upon ,I.. ts,u. lon s.F ra.lNH find that we are unfit We wish to prepare ourselves and have formed this political study club that we may be made ready. Have women ever failed to respond to that call when men said to them "We need you?"
 The women of Colorado have been voting for a number of years. fifteen or sixteen believe, and we must admit that those women have not used the ballot as wisely and as in telligently as we think they might have done. but that was almost diff ferent age. we might say from this Different influences were stirring in politics when they gained the ballol there and they did not seem to ge, started right. There are a lot of peo pie now who try to use this argument against the women of Arizona but the women of Arizona are not going to do as the women of Colorado did If we have the most progressive men in Arizona, then it is reasonable to be- lleve that our women are progressive and I feel safe in trusting our sisters here to do all that is good and for the uplift of humanity.
 We have been wont to believe that our churches. our schools. our lodges and other beneficent societies will solve our life problems for us and verily, these have done much, but now we are forced to recognize the bare and brutal fact that it is by pol itics that our national destiny is 1 shaped. We no longer live by the brotherhood of the church. the fra ternal order nor by the intelligence gleamed in colleges. but by the broth erhood of the almighty dollar and the dollar is manipulated by and through rHlitics. It seems that today it is in ] DOAAilCo lildl Mt bNN anu ohh have our being. Therefore We must turn the exposing light on all the gut ters and clean up aall the dark places. It is not enough that the surface looks clean. But there are those who win tell you that all is moving well in American politics and that just now We are progressing glorioasly. They observe the surface only,
 We must make society better and believe that society Is made better by having its circumstances and sur rounding influence made better. If man can be made to feel pride in him self. he is sure to be made a better man. believe that murder and crime can be traced in the main to wrong principles underlying our society. The primitive emotions of men are the same and when the primitive enc tons have been lifted from the gutter, rightly educated and trained. be. lieye they will not return to the gut. ter. l believe that they will climb higher and higher to plane that we of this generation wish not of. up to that plane which was marked out for us by the Nazarine. and let me say to you carefully. beyond, even beyond. You may see that l have very great faith in the supreme good which lies in humanity.
 And in order to bring about these changes, believe that woman must take her place in government That is why we are gathered here. But be- cause we have had no part in govern ment. we feel unfit and unprepared. We thus assemble to prepare our selves and to learn and we want each and every woman in the district to come to learn and to help us learn.
 Women are the moral, the clean and the spiritual side of the human race while men are tho strong, tue logical and the better balanced side and surely we need the moral, the clean and the spiritual linked up with the strong, the logical and the better balanced in politics.
 There arc those who will tell you that the day is coming when women will be the leaders sn politics.
