SUFFRAGE FOLK
GET POINTERS
FROM LEADER
Mrs. Grace Wilbur Trout, Head
Of Illinois Forces, Talks to
Detroit Workers
DON'T TRY TO MAKE
CAUSE POPULAR, SHE SAYS
"Just Work Positively for What
You Want to Accomplish"
Her Advice

The question Of equal suffrage is
one which should be presented in q
reasonable. dignned way, on the basis
OF Its own merits. according to Mrs.
Grace Wilbur Trout. president OF the
illinois Equal Suffrage league. who
spoke Monday morning to about 25
leaders Of the movement here In the
Wayne County Equal Suffrage
leagues headquarters. Mrs. Trout's
informal talk to the Detroit women
dealt largely with the work with
which she Is associated In Illinois
and the success achieved In the adop-
ton of woman suffrage by the ILL
hois legislature.
She declared that men and women
for ages have beeh associated ON an
unnatural basis.
"The necessities Of their lives" she
said, have forced women to man
age men. And, men on their part
have always cajoled swomen. Now
managing mothers and cajoling faith
ers are not the sort of parents who
can be depended upon to bring up
the American citizen as We expect
him TO be brought up In the future.
II Is necessary for men and women
to look upon public and civic ques-
lions together, upon plane OF mental
equality.
az believe that one OF the greatest
hinderances to our efforts In the past
has been q fear lest we will offend
some person or some organization.
We must get away from that attitude.
No great cause can be won on the
basis of making It popular But the
right way is to work positively for
what you want to accomplish, not to
spend your energy attacking someone
else who does not agree with you.
III there are conservative women
among you, give them something to
do and they will be for you. not OPP
posed. Always treat an anti as II
she were q reasonable human being.
Put your trust In other folk. and their
actions will be your reward. When
we went down 70 Springfield In our
Illinois fight, there was not a member
OF the legislature there whom was
not warned against as untrustworthy
But we trusted them and they passed
the bill. We trusted even those who
opposed us. We went to them and
asked merely for square deal. We
asked for them not to kill the bill
by indirect methods and they did not
try to do 30.
when you are dealing with poll
ticians. and you must do 1t, always

get them to tell you squarely what
they win do or will not. Don't take
Il for granted because they smile and
thank you for calling on them that
your request will be granted. Get
them to commit themselves In plain,
straightforward English Then tell
them how much you appreciate II:
that you know they are men OF their
word and will do what they say. II
you do, they'll do II.
Women have long been compelled
to deal with men Indirectly and to
study them closely. AS result. they
can size a man up much more ac-
curately than can his fellow men.
Even the most astute politician. who
times will tell all he knows to q
woman In Ave minutes and never
know that he has told her anything.
Il believe In the innate goodness 'of
men and that they will act In accord
ance with II II you will give them q
chance" asserted the speaker In ex-
PLANTATION OF the way dealt with the
members of the Illinois legislature.
I'VE went to them frankly and
talked face to face. Even our oppon-
ents said II was one OF the fairest
lobbies that ever worked In the ILL
nois legislature. The result was that
when II all was over there were no
bitter feelings"
"The bill giving suffrage to the
women Of Illinois was passed by the
cooperation OF Democrats, Progress
sives and Republicans, OF vets and
'drys, Catholics and Professionals,
Jews and Gentiles. That illustrates
one thing that you must do In work
ing for suffrage-keep II separated
from other issues. Do not mix suf-
frage with the temperance question
or any other topic Of that sort. II Is
big enough question to stand alone.
1t Is movement to place men and
women on same basis Of equality so
that they can cooperate as they
should In deciding questions of pub
lie and private welfare"
Mrs. Trout cited how equal suffrage
through campaign OF education
among the women voters of Chicago
has broken the boss rule in one of the
city's worst governed wards. I'VE
didn't tell the women how to vote
either" declared Mrs. Trout. sour
speakers and some Of the leading Bo-
hemian women, speaking through q
little paper. explained to them the
necessity Of using their own judg-
ment. They made no mistake with
the ballot.
THAT ward now has an honest,
worthy citizen for It's alderman for
the first time In It's history"
Mrs. Trout is now engaged In CIV
ing course Of lectures for q Chau.
tauqua lyceum bureau. She spoke In
Ypsilanti, Sunday. and left Detroit
Immediately after her talk Monday
morning to speak In Monroe in the
afternoon.

the folly of wasted hours and the fast
set ceased to allure him.
Elida of course never let Norman
know what Dale had revealed to her.
The latter did not come to the house
and for a spell there came no oppor-
tunity for inviting him. Elida began
to wonder why she thought of him so
often; why in comparing him with
the empty-minded young men in her
set he shone forth not only as unique
but attractive.
She knew now why Walter Dale
had been called 1.-THE Boob" The stu
dents worked him out of half his
monthly allowance. They imposed on
his rare good nature. They played all
kinds of tricks on him. But he had
come to the college to learn the ways
of the world and never flinched from
the ordeal. -
And then a sensational event tran
spired. The little college town was
located on a lake with very lovely
island in it's center One afternoon
Elida and one-half a score of her in
innate friends took a boat and went
over to Lone Island A group Of the
college men were to join them at dusk
for a moonlight row.
This happened: A violent. storm.
1t came up suddenly, the boat the
girls had used was driven adrift and
dark came on with the frightened
girls marooned.
The storm kept up. The college
men went down to spot opposite the
island, but an old boatman warned
them to watt until the storm was
over; that no craft could live in that
wild tempest.
One hour-two hours went by.
Those who had timid sisters over on
Lone, island, chilled and frightened,
began to worry over the situation.
The storm began to abate.
Dale was of the party on the main

WRITES Of TOURIST

Mother of Mrs. John OensIager,

Mrs. Annie Willard Connely
mother of Mrs. John Oenslager. Jr..
of 115 South Front street, has writ
ten a letter to her son, J. Willard
Connely, of McClures Magazine. tell
ing how she escaped from Paris to
London and of the great rush of tour
lists when the French forces were or
dered to mobilize. Mrs. Connely
writes from London:
1T was not until about O'Clock in

Immediately for the frontier packed

Such crowds and jams you never

hours, and people were flocking in
continually. Many tourists-thou-

soldiers just starting. The affecting
parting of husbands and wives, moth

THE train was very long, but was

We reached there at 1925 a. m, and
again there was a jam and crowds

taken off my feet and pushed and
poked with bags and bundles until I
thought l would be crushed.
The young man was here of great
assistance by procuring a porter, and
doing everything possible for our
comfort. 1t took two large boats to
convey all the passengers across the
Channel.
I'VE found places where we could
stretch out in the hold of the boat,
which was covered with canvas.
Using our heavy coats for pillows
and covers, we tried to sleep four or
five hours longer. We reached New
Haven about $50 a. m, and trains
were in readiness to bring us to Lon

Many people have been obliged to
