WORD FROM
JANE ADDAMS

In the earlier stages Of the
movement for woman suffrage
great stress was laid upon two
points: that the woman of prop
crty should have the power TO
protect her interests, and that the
woman Of edueation could be en-
trusted with the vote with Dene-
fit to the nation,
We are be@inning to realize
that in askinp for the ballot for
women, neithel Of these limita-
tions can be considered.
The woman 81 property has, in
deed, just claims to the suffrage,
that she may have a voice in
those public measures which de-
pend upon and imply an increase
in taxes.
The woman Of education, al
ready a power for good in the
community, needs the franchise,
so that when she asks for pure
food laws, for protection of infant
life, for child-labor restrictions
she shall not be treated as mere
motherless theorist, but as one

have paid all or part OF their

speakers from outside the state,
the services OF all but two were
donated, and almost all paid their
own expenses as we'll.
This campaign should be a sue
cessful campaign for the reason
that it has been the work not of
few but OF mary. Its complete
history will, probably, never be
written, but could this be done,
it would stand as a remarkable
record OF unselfish effort for a
fine and ideal end Every wo-

AN ODE TO AMERICAN WOMEN
By Richard Wightman)

by Richard Wlghtman
Our institutions change, likewise
our laws;
The program of the Season knows
its pause;
The very rivers thread along
New courses, and the lark S
blithe song
Is altered by the meadow S mood
But every onward rood
OF the long path our fathers
chose,-
Down to the very close
OF days,--is ours to dare, elate
and free,
Clothed with that ancient loyalty
To Right which made America
the land whose name
And birthright we so proudly
claim.
And now, Q Woman, we have
come to see
Thy hand in all our Nation 5
history
A gentle hand, maternal, clean
ana KIND;
And so, Q Woman, It's our new
er mind
To give to thee the right men
long have known
To say thy say, by ballots never
blown
On vagrant winds for purposes
unfair.
Slowly we came to this, but all
the air
Is vibrant with thy reasons s just
demand
To share with men the problems
of our land.
Be thou exalted by this later
trust;
Be women still, for that thou
ever must
Thy new task is not little, but
the, shades
OF patriot mothers steal from
out the glades
Of the dim past to hearten thee
and say:
1--WE did our part; thine. is the
greater day!'

all but foln.. counties. Hundreds
Of thousands Of leaflets have been
distributed, systematic press work
has been carried OIL. Every paper
in the state has received a news
bulletin each week, hundreds Of
feature stories have been sent
out, special suffrage editions IF
city papers have been published,
while during the State fair in
Helena the Suffrage Daily News
was published and distributed.
One Of the special features OF
the campaign was the demonstra-
tion OH May the second, which
Governor Stewart proclaimed
Woman s day. Demonstrations
were held on that day in almost
every city in Montana, and in
hundreds Of country schools.
During the Federation meeting
at LeWistoWn suffrage luncheons
and dinners We're given. Open air
meetings were held in Livingston
and many other places in Fergus
county.
In July there was an encamp-
ment at Billings, beginning on
the Fourth and lasting a week,
General Rosalie Jones, Colonel
Ida Craft and Miss Margaret
lIinchey were the prominent out
side women attending.
The very successful suffrage
parade in Helena during the
State fair in September was the
result Of weeks of hard work
carried on at headquarters during
the hot summer months. A long
line OF women wearing the suf-
frage yellow and carrying banners
marched down Main street to the
Auditorium where Judge Cheadle
and Dr.. Anna Howard Shaw de-
livered very fine and inspiring
addresses.
During the State fair suffrage
headquarters We're opened in
Helena, and at the Fair, and were
the source of much pleasure to
visitors.
Most people haye no idea of
the vast amount Of work that has
been done in this campaign.
Thousands of miles have been
travelled by speakers. Miss Ran
kin, alone, has Travelled over 5000
miles in Montana since january.
Letters and circulars to the num-
Der of 100000 have been sent
out since headquarters opened.
All the work done by Montana
women has been volunteer SER

THE EQUAL SUFFRAGE
CAMPAIGN IN BUTTE

The campaign for equal suff-
rage in Butte has been, OF course,
only a part OF the statewide
campaign. 1t is, to be sure, the
part in which we are most inter
ested, but also the part about
which least needs to be said, for
we have all participated, either
as workers or merely as interest
ed onlookers.
The several local suffrage or
CARNATIONS have worked together
intelligently and harmoniously.
We have done our best, and to-
morrow will show whether OF no
our best has been good enough.
1t is impossible to give even
partial list of those whose good
work has contributed to that tri-
umph we confidently expect. It
is, however, fitting and right that
we should mention with deep ap-
probation the services of State
Chairman Miss Jeanette Rankin,
her able assistant, Miss Mary r.
O'Neill, and our county chair
man, Mrs. j. 5. Ellis.
The state association has been
particularly generous to Butte IN
the matter of speakers and help
Of all kinds, a generosity we
thankfully acknowledge. We al
so wish to thank Mrs. Nellie Hall
Root Of California for the gift
Of her services during many
weeks.

who MAY determine the term
of office of the legislators with
whom they are pleading.
But if, both for their own sakes
and for the good of the republic,
women Of property and women of
education should be enfranchised,
far more is the power Of the bal
lot needed by the working wom-
an, whose stake in the country
is represented by her life, her
health, her virtues, and the safety
and happiness of her children.
The ballot is not demanded for
her because she is good or wise, or
because she will make no mis-
takes in its use. Neither good
ness nor wisdom is the sole pos
session Of one class, and freedom
from mistakes is the privilege Of
none. Working women need the
ballot because they must possess
some control over the conditions
of their lives and those of their
children; and, IN this twentieth
century world, the ballot box Of
fers the only channel through
which they can give expression
to such legitimate control.
Is it quite by accident that
those states where women enjoy
partial or complete suffrage make
also the best showing as regards
the administration of schools, the
restriction Of child labor, and the
protection OF young girls? There
is probably no country in the
world where the interests of chill
dren, taking them from every
point OF view, are so carefully
guarded as IN Colorado, where
the women have full suffrage.
Colorado was likewise the first
state to raise the age of protee-
tion for girls to Is.
But it is not only the interests
of children which the women Of
a community are especially fit
ted to guard. They are also the
natural protectors Of their own
sons, who, though past childhood,
are still young, inexperienced and
in the industrial contest, utterly
helpless.
I believe | must have been born
believing in the full rights of
women to all the privileges and
positions which nature and justice
accord to her in common with
other human beings: Perfect
equal rights; human rights. a
