The Washburn leader. [volume] (Washburn, McLean County, N.D.) 1890-1986, 1915-07-23

Excerpts of an address delivered by
Mrs. o. H. P. Belmont at the south.
ern states woman suffrage conference
held in Chattanooga, Tenn, November
of 1914 are given below. Mrs. Belmont
spoke to the southern audience as a
southern woman, having been born In
Alabama. She is the granddaughter of
General Robert Desha of Tennessee,
member Of congress during the admin
%istratiOn of Andrew Jackson.
Mrs. Belmont said in part:
Modern society is undergoing a de-
cided revolution in wOman's affairs
which a few years ago would have
been declared impossible. Each day
brings fresh evidence of woman's
ability to cope with world problems
and effect reforms. We are all familiar
with the doleful predictions made from
time to time regarding the danger Of
permitting ome to interest them
selves in matters pertaining to the
public welfare. But we have countless
examples of efficient women devoting
their talents to the common good, and
the world not only survives the shock,
but constantly demands more and o
of their time and effort. Society has
come to recognize the advantages de-
| rived from their cooperation, and vel
comes the enormous benefits ACQUIRING
therefrom.
Not long ago the distinguished edi-
tor OF the Louisville Courier-Journal,
Familiarity known as Colonel Waiter
son, gave an interview to a New York
newspaper, in which he said: Man
has no inalienable rights which wo-
man has not. but God and nature have
given her a fixed place which she
cannot change" Now, as a matter Of
fact, the fixed place." which, accord
ing to tradition, God and nature gave
woman, was in the garden Of Eden,
without any clothes, any roof over her
head, any cooking stove, or any cradle
to rock her baby in. II it had been
impossible for her to change 1t" all
Of us would be roaming around in the
forest at the present day.
Men simply get themselves mixed up
with God and nature, and the fixed
place. for women which they have in
mind is one that man himself assigned
to her some time after Adam had re-
ceived his first knowledge through her
efforts.
Personally, l plead guilty to so
strong a desire for the poplitical eman-
cipation of women that l IN not at all
particular as to how 1t shall be grant
ed. have sworn allegiance to the ma
tional amendment for woman suffrage,
while the southern states woma suf-
frage conference, of which l I'm proud
to be a member, holds rigidly to the
principle Of state rights. AS a south
erner l thoroughly understand the
problems which create this attitude.
and IL that method proves effective
shall gratefully accept the results. In
this respect l feel toward woman suf-
frage as l do about the cotton indus
try-both should have the undivided
support Of the whole United States.
Our critics, like those Of all times
and ail places, distort OIL motives and
denounce our efforts. but l insist that
woman suffrage is a spiritual move
ment. for we seek the uplift of. the
whole dependence. believing that
''where the human race is imbued with
a desire to promote the principles of
| self respect and the spirit of the Lord.
there is liberty"

CURTAIN LAUNDERING.

How to Correctly Wash Lace Curtains
and Dry Thsm..
There is a right as well as a wrong
way to do curtains.
First, take the measure Of all the cur
tains before putting in the tub. Keep
this slip Of measurements to adjust
the stretchers, correctly.
Second, fold the curtains lengthways
and crossways until they are about a
foot either way and keep them this
way until they are ready to put on
frames. This will keep them from
stretching.
Third, soak in slightly warm water
for a half hour, then squeeze gently
(never wring) and put in warmer wa
ter and rub them good with any white
soap. Let soak while the curtain
frames are being cleaned by using a
small whisk broom and soapsuds, then
rinse and dry. Now squeeze the cur
tains carefully (never rub on a board),
remove from this water and place In
a boiler of warm suds and ammonia
and let come to a boil and boil about
ten minutes.
Fourth, suds, rinse and blue. Now
for the starching, which is a very i'm
portant part. For six pairs use three
tablespoonfuls of good starch to three
and one-half quarts Of water. Dip a
small piece of net in the starch to try
it and then dry it quickly and make
sure the stiffness the curtain will be
when dry.
Fifth. now they are ready for the
frames. Take the first one and put
over the pin in one corner of the top
of the curtain; then 60 to the bottom
Of the curtain on the same side and
catch up the other corner, then the OPP
posite n Now begin in the mid
die Of the curtain and pin two or three.
then in the middle between this and
the ends either way. Same way with
the other sides, also the ends or top
and bottom.
Do not draw them along the edges.
but with both hands bring them up to
the pins in q straight line.
Keep the threads Of the curtains al
ways straight and ease in any slight
fullness, should there be any, rather
than let It come out at ends.
= When dry remove carefully and do
Sthis one important part: Lay the cur
tainsa lengthwise on q bed not in use
and fold in the middle highways.
then once again lengthways. never
crossways. When the curtains are on.

The surprise and satisfaction that
come from curtains done the, right
way doubly repay one for all the work.

After all the guests had assembled
in the library they wer invited to
come into the dining room through a
small door. which obliged them to en-.
ter one by one. At their right they
passed a table heaped high with black
enameled walters, to which each help
ed himself or herself in passing.
Still standing in line. they COINED
the burlesque bills Of fare posted
around the room aud. having made up
their minds to a choice Of the various
goodies. helped themselves from the
array Of dishes spread on a narrow tn
ble extending the length of the room
and presided over by a trio of young
people attired in the extreme of wait
ers' uniforms. Having filled their trays
to their satisfaction. they gathered the
necessary table silver. and as they
passed slowly from the low French
windows out on to the glass inclosed,
heated and lighted veranda each was
handed his gay paper napkin. n to
go under the tray and an individual
one numbered to indicate table. These
napkins had. of course, been numbered
in duplicate. and one did not know ul..
til he had found his table who his part
ner was going to be. Each little table
was decorated with a gay posey and
thanked with a pitcher Of ice water ard
two tumblers. The veranda was dec

After much merrymaking all the live

each youth to return napkins and trays
Of used dishes to the dumb waiter.
while she again distributed the nap

turned the numbers on their fresh nap
kins told them that they must seek
partners with numbers corresponding
and get for them the cream and cake
which BY this time was diahed and
waiting on the long table.
stiTl another change Of partners was
effected when the coffee and mints
were distributed. and the affair passed
on pleasantly. terminating in q jolly

When the dessert spoons were in

Our First Street Car Line.


The first street railroad in Amer
lea, was completed between the city
hall, New York, and Fourteenth
street, in 1882. The car-the first
for service in the streets of any city
in the world-consisted of three
compartments, each holding ten
persons, and seats were provided on
top Of the car for thirty or more
persons. The fare paid varied with
the distance, being sixpence from
the city hall to Fourteenth street.
Boston was the next city to adopt
the new system, in 1856, and Phila-
delphia followed in 1857.

MOTHER N-LAW LIVES

CHINESE DOMESTICITY EXTOLLED
BY REV. E. c. COOK.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, April "a
"One mother-in-law actually was liv-
ing in peace and contentment with
her five daughters-in-law," the Rev. E.
C. Cooke told delegates at the Wo-
mems Missionary Council of the Meth
odist Episcopal Church, South, in
convention here today discussed econ
omic and sociaologic conditions in
Shanghai, China. This, the minister
de Jared, would be impossible in AM
erica and gave him greater admiration
for the strength and beauty in the
Chinese social order.
Other speakers at today's session in
cluded the Rev. S. d. Gordon, of New
York The speaker declared that the
greatest good came through the great
est spread of learning and that with

EQUAL SUFFRAGE
.UPSETS NORWAY.
{BS Associated Press.)

CHRISTIANA, Norway, April "a
Since Norway has given every adult
woman and man the right to vote, leg
islation is declared TO have taken
remarkably socialistic turn, although
the socialist party, except in special
industrial centers, does not count
majority of the voters.
In parliament the radicals are il
majority, and in connection with the
.socialistic faction, they have such an
overwhelming majority that the con-
servatives have no say at all. The
present legislation is characteristic of
Norwegian socialistic theories, which,
in many respects are quite different
from those in other countries. For in
stance, the legislature, with large
majority, has passed law by which
illegitimate children are to be placed
in the same class as legitimate child
rem in relation to the father. The slo-
gan is same rights for illegitimate
children as for legitimate children.
One section provides that ilIegitimat e
offspring shall have full right to take
the name of the father; another gives
them equal rights in the matter OF
inheritance.
Upon a mans death, for instance, an
illegitimate son, perhaps born long
before the man was married, can
break into the bereaved family and,
according to the new law, take the
dead mans name and demand his
share of the estate. At the same time
if man who has an illegitimate child
wants to take the child into his fam
ily the child's mother may prevent it,
if it is her wish. Opponents of the
new law have contended that it will
tempt immoral women to look for rich
fathers for Legitimate offspring. The
proponents of the law assert that the
"old fashioned" legal matrimony must
be replaced by the ru1l love connec-
tons between soul affinities'
In all reformatory bills before the
legislature the socialistic ones are
leading. One bill proposes to make
away with all private schools and
colleges, since the laboring man can
not afford to send his children into
these schools.
In the civil service high school edu-
cation has been required, but recent
legislation decided that it should not
hereafter be required in the govern
ment mail service.
