Praise for National"

Praise for "NatiOnal."
In all public work there comes a
time for progress. and often change in
methods of work. This time was
reached in 1912. when women had
gained their present strength in Con-
gress. The Congressional Union has
iunbounded respect and admiration for
the splendid work accomplished by
the National American Woman Suf-
fragc Association in its widespread
propaganda throughout the country.
and in its campaigns in those States
where suffrage has been won.
But it deplores the continued ad-
herence to State by State work, with
its tremendous drain on the resources
of suffra gists. in workers time and
money. 1t realizes the advisability of
having but one woman suffrage
amendment before Congress. and that
one the old Susan B. Anthony amend
ment. now known as the Bristow-
Mondell resolution. That amendment
will be kept before Congress until it
is won. and all deviation from it, even
for time, bu suffragists or Congress
can only result in harm for the suffrage
movement.
Results of the past year have shown
incontrovertible reasons for encour-
agement in the progress Of the Bris-
tow -Mondell amendment. Lacking only
nine of the necessary two thirds ma
jority in the vote in the Senate, last
March, discounting the unnecessary
loss incurred by the ill-advised rush
ing of the bill by those who had it in
charge, with the added strength of
Nevada and Montana to the suffrage
ranks, and the votes of the friends
of the bill who were out OF town when
1t avs Unexpectedly taken, the needed
majority is almost assured.
VIII Continue Fight.
The first vote ever taken on the suf-
frage bill in the House on January
12. 1915, was remarkable. showing a
majority of only thirty against the
amendment. With every suffrage or
ganization in every State concentrat-
ing time, workers and money on this
ohe bill the measure could undoubt-
edly be won the next time the vote
was taken. The Congressional Union Is
going to continue throwing its entire
force into this one channel, until the
Congress of the United States decides
to refer this matter to the States for
decision by the State legislatures,
where IL will need three-fourths of all
the States to win
The prestige given the amendment

never to be removed from that book
OF the nations laws.
The women of the Congressional
Union, who have been working un-
ceasingly on Congress for two years.

One week later, however, Beulah

Mischief had been born in them.

ARNOLD TO BE
FIELD JUDGE

At a meeting Of the committee of
the Delaware Setter and Pointer Club
last night arrangements we're made
for the annual field trials. which will
be held this year on December 2, al
though the location for them has not
been selected. The club looks for
ward to more successful trials than
ever before, as unusual interest is
manifested at even this early date.
To make the field trials more popu-
lar, and give the general public an
idea of the proficiency that can be at
tanned by setter dogs, the club will
endeavor to secure the use of a field
near Wilmington and along a railway
line for the trials. so that all persons
who desire can attend without ineon-
venience.
The committee organized by elect
ing William Lowell, chairman; H. B.
lyman. secretary. The other mem
bers comprise DR.. William e. Harris,
Clarence ]. Pyle, Edward r. Pusey,
George S. Simon, and John H. Harris,
of Salem, N. J.
The committee decided TO invite G

is one Of the foremost judges of ca
mines in this country
The fee for entering in the trials
dogs owned by members of the club
will be 81, and the fee for entry OF
dogs owned by non-members will
be IS.
Twelve fine trophies. in addition to
medals and ribbons. will be offered as
prizes, which should interest dog own
ers of the East, and the trials promise
not only to be the most successful
ever held in Delaware, but one Of the
largest competitions in this section
