South Dakota Editors Estimate of
Gen" Jones and Her Cause.

Blunt Advocate: There is just one
thing, and one thing only, that has
eve happened in South Dakota TO
give temporary popularity to the
equal suffrage movement, and that
was the advent of Gen" Rosaiie
Jones. She is brainy and brilliant;
her speeches are forceful and devoid
of rancor; she carries herself with
becoming dignity under trying cir
Cumstances, and appears to merit adj
Tniration as a woman of quality.
Last but not least, she is reported to
be beautiful, a report that was given
wide publicity in the notices announc-
ing her coming to the state, and il is
not unreasonable to suppose that in
every audience she addressed the fair
Rosalie's popularity o%utshone that of
her cause. This eminent and much
admired suffraget Is no doubt a most
admirable woman; just the kind of
one to be queen of a home: n who
could mother a family of healthy and
beautiful children, could polish and
adorn their minds with her own scin-
tillating wit and wisdom, and develop
them into noble men and women.
What a ~perversion of divinely endow-
cd possibilities that instead of this
she should feel called upon to expose
herself to the rabble in a dry-goods-
in order 10
convince her sisters that they want
something they don't want.
