MISS BAN Is CHEERFUL.
Says Suffrage Losses in East Have
Not Been Fruitless of Good
Have Aroused Interest.

Disappointed with resultsa Not
at all, - briskly replied Miss Harriet
Balm. president of the Kenosha Sui
frage League, when asked by a News
reporter today if she was disappointed
at the outcome of the suffrage amend
ment elections in New York, Mas
saehusetts and Pennsylvania where the
amendments were killed Tuesday by
heavy majorities.
81 may be a little disappointed in
the attitude of the voters but we are
proud of the non-voters and the valiant
war they waged.
"'The eastern women have made a
splendid fight and their efforts will
bear fruit in the fight for federal suf-
frage in the near future.
SIT is impossible to estimate the
amount of good their propaganda cam
paign has DONE Think of the thous-
ands of men and women they have
aroused to interest in suffrage and con-
slider the great press publicity we have
had, and we al. know that when the
press is with US we must win.
"By the way it is of local interest
to know that the influential New York
Tribune was swung into line for suf-
frage through Kenosha woman. Mrs.
Ogden Reid was formerly Miss Helen
Rogers, a sister of Carson Rogers.
Not only did she get the Tribune, but
she had Ogden Reid marching in the
suffrage parade last month.
"When east last spring I was told
by New York leaders that if thew
were not enfranchised at the Noveme
Der election their influence would bt
thrown to hopeful campaign states in
the west.
THE loss of the eastern states was
foretold by Helen Ring Robinson, sen.
ator from Colorado, when she was in
Kenosha last spring. She said Their
that there was little hope in the east
but she felt confident that Iowa woulc
be won. Mrs. John Low, New York
sister of Mrs. Harry Winston of this
city, and leader of the banner twenty
fifth district of New York, said last
August when visiting here that she
would interest herself and others in
aiding the Iowa campaign"

Assimilating the Alien.

America, in the language of July
Fourth orations, is the melting pot of the
world. Into it are poured the conflict
ing national ambitions and racial diff
ferences of every people on the globe.
The melting pot, we are told, can fuse
anything. Into it all metals go, it is
true, and it fuses them, but into what
Is the product of this heterogeneous
mixture of many races the material out
of which nations are built and states
grow strong9 If there is any such thing
as patriotism, the naturalized citizen
who has merely stood before a court
and sworn allegiance to the United
states is an anomaly. The issuance of
naturalization papers can not conciey-
ably make a German any better Amer
lean than he is German; it cannot in
culcate in the mind of Slav the prin-
ciples of Anglo-Saxon civilization,
which are the product Of hundreds of
years development. The process of
making an American must go further
than the mere admixture of many races
in land of common dwelling.
The refining processes must be car
ried many degrees beyond the melting
pot to make a true American.
1t is because the melting pot process,
so dear to complacent bourgeoise in
frock coat and top hat, has not pro-
duced desirable type Of naturaized
citizen, that the movement for educat-
ing foreign born labor in the United
States is of particular significance. The
strongest bond binding nation into a
homogeneous people is common lang
uage. Without this there can be no
community of ideals, no national pur-
pose, no political solidarity. Men who
cannot communicate their thoughts can
not entertain sentiments of common
sympathy, yet there is an astounding
number Of aliens in the United States
in the process Of assimilation who can
not read or speak the English language.
Better understanding of America
surely means better citizens and better
citizens surely mean better America.
The question Of alien restriction is not
involved in this movement. Perhaps it
would have been better to have prohib-
tied the entrance into the country of
many aliens, but the stubborn uncultur-
ed fact remains that they are here.
The first step, Of course, is to teach
them the language of America. When
this has been accomplished other steps
forward may be taken. The use of the
sacred right Of suffrage, American
standards of living, respect for law and
loyalty to the nation, should be taught
later, but English must come first. The
beauty of the effort is that 1T benefits
the alien as much as it benefits the ma
tion.-From American Industries for
October.

1t doesn It make much difference
where the Democrats hold their national
convention this year. Wilson is going
to have such a lead in the convention
that the only contention will be over
the nomination of a vice president. The
platform will of course be cut and dried
before the convention meets. Where
ever it meets it's going to be mighty
poor picking for the hotel men.

It's a great thing to have railway
crossings protected but carelessly
protected crossing is worse than no pro-

lection is being given.

NOV. Il IS DATE OF MEET
Local League Said to be the Strongest
in State Is Entitled to 100 Delegates
to the State Convention Expect
Full Quota to Attend Meeting.

Miss Harriet Balm, president of the
Kenosha County Woman Suffrage asso-
citation with its 1900 members is about
to issue the call for the annual meeting
of the league. 1t will be held Novem-
Der IL at $3.50 O'Clock in the Park
Avenue Methodist church, in the Junior
room. The date is set for November IL
in the hope that as many of the mem
bers who live in outlying towns will
come to Kenosha that day anyway to
take advantage of Dollar day bargains,
they may also attend the meeting.
The president will make an address
on "The New Note in Wisconsin Suf-
frage Work. Tea will be served by
the Junior Suffrage league of which
Miss Edna Bond is president.
Reports of the different officers and
committee chairman will be made after
which officers and delegates to the Mil
waukee annual convention will be
elected.

Kenosha Entitled to 100 Votes.

Kenosha Entitled to 100 Votes.
AS one delegate to the annual con-
vention is accredited for each ten mem
bers, of different societies, the Kenosha
county organization is entitled to 100
delegates, the largest number Of any
single affiliated association. Miss Balm
said yesterday it was hoped that the
entire quota of 100 delegates may be
filled. She believes this will be espec-
tally easy as the state convention which
is to be held November Is to 20 in Mil
waukee will present an unusually attrac-
tive program. The Hon. Mrs. Philip
Snowden, one Of the best known of Eng
land s suffrage workers of the nobility,
a particularly beautiful woman and one
who has great personal charm both as
a conversationalist and upon the plat
form, is to speak.
After her visit to Milwaukee under
the auspices Of Miss Mary Swain Wag-
ner in 1912 it was said that she had
interested a greater percentage of men
whom she met, in the question of suf-
frage, than did any other of the brill
liant suffragists who came to Milwau-
kee that winter, including Eleanor Rob
son, Sylvia Pankhurst and Mrs. Emmel-
inc Pankhurst. Mrs. Snowden was
feted by the elite of Milwaukee $
society and was entertained IL the most
exclusive homes while there. Her hus-
band is a member Of the English parlia-
ment.
Milwaukee's city council chamber has
been turned over to the state conven-
tion for an open meeting at which the
president, Mrs Henry M. Youman@ of
Waukesha, will speak. Mrs. Youmans
with her executive secretary, Mrs.
Helen Haight, has just returned from
New York where she has been assist
ing in the New York suffrage campaign
for month. She will tell of the war
waged there to get votes Tor women.
It is said that one OF the most effec-
tive additions to the suffrage forces of
Milwaukee in the past year is Mrs.
Hornell Hart, the young and beautiful
bride of Hornell Fart, civic secretary
of the Milwaukee City club, an institu-
tion of 1900 members. 1t is said that
when Mrs. Hart was married last sum-
mer she was opposed to suffrage but
under the tutelage Of her husband who
is an enthusiastic advocate of equal suf-
frage, she has become converted to the
idea and is throwing herself heart and
soul into the fray. It is said upon good
authority that the use of the council
chamber which has been denied the suf-
fragists in other years was secured
through the personal efforts of Mrs.
Hart.
Her husband is one of the group of
university men, interested in sociologi-
cal and political problems who have
made the University settlement on the
south side place of congregation and
where such men as Charles Zueblin and
others of his ilk have been honored
guests. The Rev. H. n. Jacobs, warden
of the house, has been the leader of a
coterie that has made itself felt in Mil
Yankees municipality projected social
activities.
