Vorce itself from the proposition O
! equal suffrage. The stigma that W
l are the worst ballot-dropping natiol
in the world will be wiped away whe,
the women are allowed to step in an,
drop some of the ballots.
"The right of suffrage is one of tn
best and most progressive things il
the last and best West. 1t is neve
good to be an anti-anything. Ants
pursue the filmy ghosts of the past
and permit the richest Of
the present to escape. Men and WON
en- are more interdependent in this
commercial age than ever before. Both
are hidden to make an effort for truth
and progress and education over the
weeds of ignorance and deterioration
Fasteners Build Up State
I'VE should take an inspiration from
the big, buoyant State of Montana.
We are all Fasteners in Montana who
are doing things. There was hardly
room enough for us here, and we de-
cided to go where the opportunity for
the exercise of the best American
qualities was possible. We must raise
the standard Of manhood and woman
hood, and to that we must stand
shoulder to shoulder, men and women,
and do what will bring us mutual pros
perity." t...*.
Mr.. Christler intended to show a
series OF motion pictures illustrating
the natural beauties of Montana, He
wanted to show especially Glacier
Park, which he was said was the ma
tional playground, "where the Creator
stood when he created the universe,
where Adama tied his pony while he
courted Eve in the Garden of Eden"
The reason the pictures could not he
shown was that the Suffrage JIead-
quarters were not wired for e~lectr;.
city. He distributed picture post
cards, however, and pinned a number
of scenes on a blackboard in the front
of the hall.
Can't Spend Summer in Europe
As the war will prevent most PEG
pie from spending the summer in
Europe this year, Mr.. Christler said
it should be an incentive for all the
people of leisure of the East to go
out to Montana. He said: "Send US
word you are coming, press the but
ton and we will go half way to meet
you." Mr.. Christler closed his address
with a brief outline of his work on
mission field of Montana, which
is several thousand square mines in
area. He said:
"We do all we can to avoid the
multiplication of institutions. We en-
all the people of small places
to worship in n buildings. It takes
me over a month to cover my entire
territory. One day l am conducting
Episcopal services in a Baptist church,
the next day in a Presbyterian church
and in places where the Episcopalians
are strong services are conducted in
our edlflces by pastors OF other de-
nominations. We are anxious for re-
efficiency and do not want to
diminish the success of our efforts by
duplication of buildings.
"That is something that could not
be done in the East, although people
are no more religious here than they
are in Montana. The objection to the
plan here is prejudice. A person who
is %prejudiced cannot be an optimist.
Prejudice grows and grows upon a per-
son-and it usually arises from some
thing-until he gets so little
and small that he cannot climb over
it. We do away with prejudice in
Montana. We the too progressive for
it. We are practical in our methods
Of shouldering the issues of Chris
tianity."
