Legislators of today are brought face

controversy confronting this country on
the further extension of the franchise to
women. Between them there must be a

FREMONT'S BRIDE
DEF|ED THE j. 5.
The History Of Three States
Hinges on Her Insub-
ordination.
CANNON SILENT MEMENTO
She Was Hailed as Heroine After
Husbands Work of Explora-
ton Was Done.

ST. Louis. Mo-, May 1s.-Seventy-one
years have elapsed since an eighteen
year-old bride in this city played a tre-
mendous part in the history of the
United States by intercepting and with
holding important government orders.
The history of at least three States on
the Pacific Coast hinges more or less di-
rectly upon this act of insubordination.
The bride was Mrs. Jessie Benton Fre-
mont. wife of John C. Fremont. the ex-
plorer and statesman, and daughter of
Thomas H. Benton, for many years q
Senator from Missouri.
Early In 1913 Fremont received from
the United States government a COM
mission to undertake the second of his
noted expeditions OF exploration to the
Northwest, then a vast uninhabited re-
gion. the ultimate destiny of which hung
in the balance. In obedience to 1t he
came to st. Louis from Washington and
Immediately set about outftting his ex-
pedition. with his young wife acting as
his secretary.
It 10 q matter of history that dur
there was a powerful sentiment both In
and out of Congress against extending
the dominion of the United States to
the Pacific Coast. Such Senators as
Webster and Calhoun were opposed to
II and for the most part were able to In
nuence Congress to their beliefs. On the
other hand. Senator Benton, following
his first election in 1921, became q stanch
advocate of Western expansion and was
able to command a large following,
through whose efforts the various ex-
petitions of exploration were authorized.
Leaders Opposed Expsnsion.
In outfitting his expedition Fremont
took the liberty of adding a twelve
pound brass howitzer secured from the
government arsenal at ST. Louis upon
the representation that he needed II as
a defense against possible hostile
Indians.

where the announcement created
something OF a sensation in govern

clared that the taking of cannon into
foreign or neutral territory consti-
tuted an act of hostility which might
involve the government in grave

The young Mrs. Fremont. who was
thoroughly imbued with the ardor of
her husband and father for Western
expansion, thought she discerned in
the peremptory orders a subterfuge to
defeat the purpose of the expedition.
For her husband to proceed TO Wash

Thus Col. Fremont proceeded upon 4

There was another sensation at WASH

WORK OF TRUBETsK0Y.

1t has been said by some one that We
see in q beautiful thing in nature or art
only that which We bring to It. Again,
1t has been said that into all paintings
or statues the creator puts some of his
own personality.
So 1t is in looking at Prince Trubet-
skoy's work being shown in the Cor
coran Art Gallery. While bearing in mind
the impress of his powerful physique We
are given an insight Of his other nature
the power underlying his strength.
1t seems natural that from a man Of
his physique there should come such
strong bust as that Of Thomas F. Ryan.
We feel that the original is a power in
the financial world; no dreamer. no
writer. and yet not merely commercial.

Volume Given to Council.
Contessa Fanny Zampini Salazar, who is
known in the United States through having rep
resented Italy at the forming of the council in
1888, and again at its first quinquennial during
the Columbian Exposition, has made notable
contribution to this meeting in beautifully illus
trated English edition of her recently issued,
Life of Margherita of Savoy" Italys first
Queen. This book of 300 pages, which has
preface by Richard Bagot, and has been sane
toned by Queen Margherita, is a delightfully."-
written story of the momentous years of Italy
from 1910 through the century, in which the
beloved Queen had so large part, and closes
with her purchase and presentation to Bologna,
in 1907, of the historic house and rare library
of the great poet, Carducci; who received the
Nobel prize Mime. Salazar devotes a page to
the celebration of Margherita's birthday in the
Woman's Building during the Worlds Fair in
Chicago, and speaks of the address of Mrs. May
Wright Sewall president of the Woman's Con-
gress, on that occasion.

B, IDA HusrED HARPER.

Hotel Quirinal, Rome: She who loves not
punctuality, order and discipline, should never
go as delegate to the International Council of
Women The program for the council called
to meet in Rome was prepared in nlidwinter by
the secretary, Alice Solomon, of Berlin, doctor
of philosophy, with every hour of the ten days
arranged for, beginning, alas, at 9 a. m, and
ending at 6 p m. Fortunately, the evenings are
given to public meetings or social functions,
so the tired delegates may relax and be at least
alive the next day. The rules are rigid as to
who may and may not attend the various ses
sions, and while in the United States they would
occasionally be stretched, here Horatus defend
ing the bridge was not more formidable than
the guardians of the doors. Only the seven in
ternational officers, the honorary presidents and
vice presidents, the presidents of national coun-
ellis in the different countries, and the chairmen
of the nine standing committees can attend the
executive meetings. The international chair
man and the national chairman from every
country car attend the meetings of the respective
committees, but they may admit the delegates
as listeners if they choose. All of the above,
including patrons, those who have paid 5000, at
tend the business meetings and transact the gen.
eral work of the council, hear the reports, re-
wise the constitution elect officers, etc, but from
all sessions both the public and the press are
excluded.
Candidates for Office.
Mrs. Henry Fawcett, for the past quarter of
a century at the head of the constitutional suf-
frage movement in Great Britain, was the first
president; the Countess of Aberdeen, the Sec
ond then Mrs. May Wright Sewall, of the
United States, and in 1904, at Berlin, Lady
Aberdeen was again elected Up to this time
two consecutive terms were forbidden by the
constitution, but at the meeting of 1909, in
Toronto, against considerable protest, it was
changed to permit unlimited tenure, and her
ladyship was again elected, so she has served
fifteen years. This year there is no other candi-
date, and as nominations must be made three
months in advance by the national councils this
fact testhes to the almost universal satisfaction
with Lady Aberdeen's administration. There are
many candidates for the three vice pfesidencies,
h,,t only one for the other Offices, so the cleo
saa is not likely to be very exciting. The Offices,
exc apt that of corresponding secretary, are un-
saIa RED and involve an immense amount of
work, which accounts for the withdrawal of
most of those who were nominated.

If these were allowed to continue unopposed
they would wreck the entire social system, and
it is greatly to the credit OF women that under,
these circumstances they can continue the strug1
gle, generation after generation, with no more
bitterness or revolt against the other sex; and
that such is the case even where they clearly
perceive that these evils are rooted in politics
from which women are absolutely barred and

Because Of the long distance between Italy

fore the meetings are fairly under way and the
personal touch with delegates can be expressed,
for that is, after all, their chief value. Since
their early days there has been revolution in
the attitude of the women of the various nations
toward each other At first there was the cold
ness and suspicion that exist among the men of
different nationalities, and it was question
whether these could be obliterated. They were
surprising to the delegates from the United
States, who had feeling of entire friendliness
toward those of all countries, and who were
especially amazed to encounter frosty recep-
ton from Canadian women. There had been
few chances of meeting and we had simply con-
sidered them as of ourselves. Perhaps that was
the trouble, for they considered themselves as
entirely of Great Britain, the mother country,
and us as not even step-sisters.
Have Buried tAe Hatehets.
But all that has passed away and there is
now entire cordiality, although apparently the
Australian delegates are more fully in sympathy
with our views than are the Canadian, and some
times it seems as if the ties were closer even
than between them and those from Canada It
has always been the hope of the leaders of the
council that it would bring about an alliance
among the representative women of the world
which would eventually extend to the men; and
the principal factor in what promises to be the
fulhllment of this hope is the ever-increasing
knowledge that all have one common object
higher standards for the life in the home and
for society at large.

quinquennial on Italian men, The newspapers

conventions have been held they have not failed
to improve the general status of the women in
that country. Men are astonished to see that
women can conduct large public meetings with
so much dignity and ability, have so wide a
grasp of affairs, can expedite business with such
dispatch, possess so much knowledge of parlia-
mentary law, and work together so harmonious
ly. Always before the end the papers are ad-
vising the men to take lesson for their own
meetings. There is so much illiteracy in Italy
