The Story of Woman
Suffrage in Idaho.

Secretary Idaho State Council Of
Women Noters


What has the ballot done for the
women of the State of Idaho? !,
has given them the right to stand
side by side with their brothers ana
expand into q glory OF womanhood
not attained by women in non-sui-
frage States. 1t has given them
wider horizon, a finer self-poise, a
grander conception of life and IT'S
possibilities, as well as a firmer con-
tidence in self, confidence that mas
strengthened many womna.
We women of Idaho feel that wa
are but beginning our accomplish
ments and we are now commencing
the formation Of women's organiza.,
ton known as the Idaho Council Oh
Women Voters, with Miss Margaret
Roberts as president. This IS 2.
branch of the National Council or
Women Voters with similar organ,

Many Kansas Reforms
Are Due to Suffrage.
BY JESSIE WRIGHT WHITCOMI
Attorney at Topeka.

No election has been held in Kan
sas since our women received the fui
ballot, so it is impossible to point out
direct political results Of the extended
suffrage at this time.
In addition to this, our women have
always had a modified and gradually
extended ballot, and many of the re-
forms so much desired by women in
other States have been won and pre-
served.
We have in Kansas Statewide pro-
hibition, which, in itself, has prevent
ed large share OF the evils falling
to women's lot in liquor States. THAI
prohibition has been continued ant
that the law has been as satisfacto-
rily enforced as it has is generally
admitted to be due largely to women's
municipal vote.

Chicago, Nov. 17.-That part OF the
quarantine regulations which forbids

market was the cause of a meeting
of stock traders called for this after

The traders affected are those who
buy cattle here and sell them to east

"a blow to the farmers of the state. as
the serum supply for fighting hog

made, be paid in as soon as possible as
the time is short if the aid be sent be-
fore the winter adds to the suffering
of this people. ]. f. Powell of The
Courier, has been appointed treasurer
of the district fund, and the amounts
of the subscriptions of money or
necessaries will be published daily in
The Courier.
Money is not the only thing sought,
for money itself would be of little or
no use to the sufferers because of the
fact that there is nothing that they
can buy in their stricken country that
would lessen their sufferings. Corn,
-four all kinds of foodstuffs that can
be shipped, clothing to keep them
warm, ETC., are the things needed and
the money donations will be used to
purchase these things.
In an appeal to the people of the
district through the columns Of The
Courier and other papers in the dis
trict, Mr.. Nimocks has the following
to say:
To the people of the Sixth congress
sional district, comprising the coun-
ties of Wapello, Davis, Monroe, Ma
haska, Keokuk, Poweshiek and Jas
per:
Hon Geo. w. Clarke has appointed
eleven men, one from each congress
sional district of Iowa, to solicit aid
from all those who are willing to do
something for the starving women and
children of Belgium. Gov Clarke has
honored me with appointment on this
committee for the Sixth district. All
foreign countries are having all they
can do to care for their own and the
people of the United States should
be glad in this dreadful emergency to
at least keep the orphan children of
Belgium from starvation.
1t is not sufficient to say that we
have orphans of our own for our own
will be provided for in any event, but
ten dollars now donated will buy suffi-
cient provisions to keep one child
from starvation. There are more than
a million and half of homeless wom-
en- and children in Belgium and Hol-
land today without sufficient shelter
from the storms and they are absolute
ly dependent on charity, as there is
no work to do even if the mothers
were able to work. Thousands and
thousands of innocent children will
die from exposure and disease even II
they are properly fed and without
suffi Gent food the loss would be ap-
palling.

Powell has agreed to act as treasur-
er for the fund and all donations of
money should be sent to him, in care
of The Daily Courier. All corn, flour
and other supplies of this sort will
be listed and taken care OF by w.
E. Jones & Co. Every county in the
district will be organized and chair
man and treasurer named so that each
county can get their own supplies to-
gether and later all counties can send
supplies to one central point.
In this way each county will take
pride in their own work and we would
like each newspaper in the various
ed list of the donations, whether sup
be given at the earliest possible date
as they are now having some stormy
winter weather in Belgium.
Let us all work together in this dis
trict to do our share and whatever
is given should be given through this
organization headed by Governor
Clarke instead of being sent to out
side organizations.
| Will be glad to hear from any one
in the district with suggestions or in
formation that might help in this
