erendum and recall were very far
from the idea OF thu founders. Inc
trouble with the rapid thinking ana
acting American people is that they
demand that political parties snal.
t. -:e up and advocate on the spur OF
the moment every ism that appeals to
the feverish Imagination as solution
Of some perplexing problem OF the
righting Of something that may or
may not be an evil. Through an hon
est desire to bring about what seems
to us a much needed reform 1t Is SO
easy to lose sight of everything else
through our zeal for the new meas
ure We seemingly forget the won
derful progress that may have been
made by an existing political party
and are willing for the moment to blot
it out of existence il it does not in
stantly incorporate in its body poll
tic our pet reform. Why should we
resort to hair splitting methods con-
corning matters that may not be SO
very important after all? 1t really
makes but very little difference
whether the hen sits or sets; the inn
portant thing is when she cackles
whether she lays or lies.
One year ago an air Of uncertainty
pervaded the political atmosphere OF
this gathering. To women had been
granted the privileges and RESPONSE
and they would cast their
first votes at the August primaries.
Would the rank and file of women
vote and how. was a burning and in
sistent question. Some men asserted
they would vote as did their husbands
or other masculine members of their
families | thus simply double the
vote. But there were other men who
thought they understood better the
sci vy 0R INV nd n
clared there was no use to speculate
as to what they would or would not
do, for the only thing at all certain
was they would vote contrary to all
expectations.
Well, 1t is a matter of history and
how does it read. From one of the
many state newspapers that come to
our home I clipped the following: INC
charge Of fraud has been raised by
anybody against the election last Tues
day. In fact it is conceded by all that
it was the cleanest election Kansas
ever held. This is due to the fact
that the women voted for the first
time. The presence of women on the
election boards and in the voting
booths had a tendency to uplift the
general tone of the election"
Did Nothing Outrageous.
Women did not organize a woman's
party as had been freely suggested and
predicted. They did no outrageous
thing, but calmly and sanely cast their
votes with the party that best repre-
sented their own ideas. The result
showed that the majority adopted as
their own the party that had in the
past proven itself the friend Of women
and measures they especially favored.
The eyes of the world are focused
upon the American nation at this
hour. the people either fearful of or
hopeful for the granting of equal
suffrage to the women of all the

Representative government under

that has come to us through the wis

tempt that will in any way lessen it's

Occasionally I hear a man say: II

no party. I wear no party collar and
pay no attention to party leadership
or party organization" He is just one
peg better than the man who pays no
attention to politics at all. who never
attends the primary or votes, but who
accepts all the blessings of govern
ment and howls about high taxes.
This man is. in my judgment, failure
as a citizen. But this Independent
voter gets chesty and struts around
and often really imagines he is some
statesman of high class. progressive
type. To this Independent voter, I
want to say in all kindness. it is my
opinion, based upon careful observa-
ton. that you amount to about as
much in emphasizing ideas into law,
as the bushwhacker did in winning
Battles in the great rebellion. The
bushwhacker, If he shot right. might
have done some good. But remember
the great battles that have been
fought and won in history that have
changed the map of the world and the
trend of civilization. have been won
through organized effort and concert
ed action.

gether and ssGive and Take"

Mrs. ]. NJ. Miller in her address. IN
Today Already Walks Tomorrow,
struck a note most pleasing to the
Kansas Day banqueters. She said tnat
the time is at hand for Republicans 10
get together, recounted what Repup-
licanism had already accomplished ana
pictured what achievements might De
expected in the future. She said IN
part:
Republicanism is not a creed, it is
religion-a creator-creating the breath
of life into waste places and creating
imperial commemorative. Through It's
wise administration, the American re-
public, comprising forty-eight such COM
monwealths, has become the load stone
the guiding star Of all nations.
The Republican party was called into
existence to abolish human slavery ana
establish peace; and it has never had
chance to go out of business, for 1t has
been breaking shackles Of slavery and
establishing peace ever since.
1t is a gardener; it has reclaimed
desert waste, planted, pruned and nur-
tured until 2 magnificent garden is the
result. But it may not cease its vigil
lance, for the more highly cultivated
the soil the ranker are the weeds that
spring up.
The mission of the Republican party
is not ended even as the mission OF the
church is not ended, because the Christ
religion has been carried to all peoples.
1t has never been lacking in an acute
sense. 1t has been actuated by a never
failing optimism and an enthusiasm
that knew no defeat-instilling faith in
to the doubling. imparting hope to the
responding, giving courage to the wav-
ering and converting indifference into
zeal.

The founders of the Republic
planned a representa- live government
and not a pure democracy. But the
trend of our political times has been
bearing us FAR away from the original
thought. Primary law, initiative, ref
