NEWS OF THE WEEK
Women of Montana VIII
Heb Their Illinois Sisters

The women Of Montana, secure in
their newly acquired rights Of citizen
ship, are doing what they can in aid
Of the women Of Illinois, who have
partial suffrage only. Under the new
law they are permitted to vote for
certain offices, but cannot vote for
candidates for the legislature or for
congressional candidates. Mrs. Grace
Wilbur Trout has been elected to the
presidency of the Illinois Equal Suf-
frage association, and the winter
campaign Of the association has been
inaugurated.
These are some Of the things the
suffragists plan to do:
They will raise $25, 1000 for the work
in the state, most of which will be
used, it is expected, In the campaign to
secure a constitutional convention for
Illinois.
They will maintain headquarters in
Springfield during the session Of the
legislature. The legislative chairman,
who is to be appointed Immediately
from the members Of the state board,
will remain at Springfield throughout
the session. Mrs. Trout will be in
Springfield whenever her presence is
necessary. .
The old card index system on legis-
~lators, which proved so effective four
years ago, will be reestablished.
A group of legislative assistants will
be selected to help Mrs. Trout and the
legislative chairman.
Organization will be pushed in every
county, and the m will be urged
to keep their own legislators in line
with the suffrage policy.

MAGGIE S. HATHAWAY
AND STATESW0MANSHIF
PROMINENT SUFFRAGETTE IS
RAVALLI CANDIDATE FOR
THE LEGISLATURE.

Mrs. Maggie Smith Hathaway, who
helped to make the persistent fight
which finally won for the women of
the state the right to do their own
political thinking, is turning the talent
she developed in former %suffragette
campaigns to a practical purpose. She
is a candidate for the legislature in
Ravalli county, and is conducting a
campaign that is making the old time
politicians of the Bitter Root sit up
and take notice.
Mrs. Hathaway is we'll known to
the women of Montana. She is the
kind of a woman who is not afraid to
make a speech from the tail end Of a
wagon, or from a soap box in a
crowded street corner. She is a stu
dent Of political affairs, and was
prominent in the lobby which secured
the passage of the mothers pension
and equal guardianship at the last
session of the Montana legislature.
Heretofore all her work has been
done from the outside. From now on,
clothed in the mantle of citizenship,
she proposes to work for women from
the inside. She manages a small ranch
near Stevensville in the summer sea-
son and spends the winters lecturing
on topics that further the cause of
women. She hopes to become a states
woman early in November.

Peter DeSmet Volunteers
To Take Up Mission.
"The priest who volunteered for
the work among the Flatheads was
Peter DeSmet whose name is now
revered in Montana. 1t was first pro-
posed to send two priests, but it was
found that the funds were insufficient
and the young Jesuit bravely set
forth alone. April 5, 1910, Father De-
Smet and Ignace started for Mon
tana's mountains. At almost that
same date Lefthanded Peter arrived
at the camp of the Flatheads on Eight
Mile creek in the Bitter Root, with
the news that a Black Robe was COM
inc. He had made the journey from
st. Louis in safety and his people re-
ceived him with joy. Receiving his
;nformation, the Flatheads decided

detailed to go forward. while the
tribe would follow and make camp for
the reception Of the man Of God.

eled safely in company with a fur

where they found the 10 Flathead
warriors waiting for them. At once

travelling companions and, joining his
new friends, prepared for the journey

lr0Qu0iS Indian First Montana Missionary
big Ignace Travelled From Eastern Canada and Was Adopted Into Fhhead Tribe, Which Sent to
St Louis for Father DeSmet First "Bhdk Robe% to Penetrate Rocky Mountdns in North

THE first Christian missionary to
L the Indians of Montana was an
Indian, Big lgnace, who travelled all
the way from the st. Lawrence river
to the Bitter Root valley with a band
of Iroquois, and was adopted into the
Flathead tribe.
1t was the desire to know the pale
face God awakened among the Flat
heads by Big Ignace that 10 years
later brought to them Father De-
Smet, the mar who travelled 100000
miles in behalf Of the Indians of the
west, including 100000 miles Of jour
neyings through the wilderness; who
crossed the ocean 10 times to enlist
workers and raise money for mission
airy labors among the aborigines of
America and pleaded with popes,
kings and presidents in their be-
half; who acted as intermediary at
Washington for the Redmen and Wis
tied the camp of Sitting Bull unat-
tended in 1868, the only white, man
who dared to penetrate to the heart
of the Sioux country.
lToqu0lS reaches his New
People Lords Prayer.
Big Ignace taught his new people
the Lord SIS prayer, the sign Of the
cross and other practices of the Cath
Ollie church and awakened in their
minds and hearts a desire to know
more of the story Of the Nazarene.
They we're a peaceful people who re-
Trained from offensive warfare al
though they fought valiently when
attacked by their hereditary foes, the
Blackfeet.
Big Ignace had been named after
Father Ignace JoguesA M of the
French missionaries who has la
bored among the Indians along the St.
Lawrence in the seventeenth century.
Father Ignace gave his life to the
cause, but his teachings were cher
ished through the centuries by his
converts much as the Christian reli-
gion persisted in Japan for more
than 200 years after the Jesuits de-
parted from the country and until
the land of the chrysanthemum was
opened again to the world.
"Send for the Black Robes
Advises Big 1gnace.
"The Black Robes can teach you
MORE" responded Big Ignace to the
ever pressing inquiries of the Flat
heads. "Send for the Black Robes"
1t was as the "black robes' that the
Jesuits were known to the Iroquois.
The Flatheads determined to send for
priests that could teach them the
lessons of the Prince Of Peace.
Big Ignace suggested that a delega-
ton be sent more than 5000 miles
across the mountains and the prair-
les, across the country of the Great
Lakes and down the st. Lawrence to
the city Of Quebec to ask the Jesuits
there to send them a teacher, but the
Flatheads learned that in a big city
far down the big water, st. Louis,
there was a lodge of the Black Robes.
The Flathead chief called for volun-
teers and four Indians set out for st.
Louis in 1881. This was the first
of five expeditions that set out to
carry to the Black Robes the plea for
a teacher. Three Of the delegations
reached St. Louis, but only two of
these survived the long journey back

Palt VI tHe Woflu VINO understood
their language. 1t was only in later
years that the Jesuits became aware
OF the nature of their mission.
In 1888 a rumor reached the Flat
heads that there We're missionaries on
the Green river in Wyoming. Ursula,
known as Little Chief, led a party of
his tribesmen through hostile terri
tory to this stream, fighting all the
way. They met the Whitman party,
but they found no Black Robes. They
refused to treat with the Protestant
missionaries.
Delegates Obtain Promise
Priests Will Be Sent.
Late in the summer of that wear
Big 1gnace himself offered to take
the tribe S appeal to the Black Robes.
Big lgnace, accompanied by his sons,
redched st. Louis before winter.
Speaking in French, he made known
his plea to the bishop and assurances
were given to the Indians that a priest
would be sent as soon as possible. The
boys were baptized and the party re-
turned to the Bitter Root with the
glad tidings.
Two years passed but no Black
Robes came. Again Big Ignace set
dht for st. Louis, accompanied by
three Flatheads and one Nez Perez.
After crossing the mountains they
joined a party of whites, with whom
they travelled as far as the South
Platte. Here they were attacked by
the Sioux. The Sioux made the
whites captives to prevent them
from interfering with the fight and
offered Big 1gnace the privileges of
a non-combatant, but he refused to
desert his Flathead and Nez Perez
companions. The five fought the
Sioux, Of whom there were 800, until
the last Of the little band fell. Fiji
teen of the Sioux were killed.
Fifth Party Completes
Journey in Canoes.
When new Of this disaster reached
the Flatheads a great council was
held and the tribe resolved to dispatch
other messengers. AS only the Iro-
quois could make themselves under
stood among the whites, two Of that
band, Lefthanded Peter and Young
lgnace, volunteered and left the Bit
ter Root valley in the summer of 1889.
After q long voyage in canoes in
company with Hudson Bay men,
these two arrived at st. Louis.
"Peter and Ignace made a strong
impression at the Jesuit College,
writes Arthur L. Stone in "Follow-
ing Old Trails" "They could speak
French and the priests hung upon
their words, intensely interested. The
Indians told the long story of the
quest for truth which he Flatheads
had so bravely and patiently prose-
cuted; they told of the other ex-
petitions and of the disappointment
OF the Indians that no priest had
come to them. They won their cause.
The promise was given that a priest
would be sent in the spring. 1t was
arranged that Peter should return at
once to his people with the good news,
