POPULAR YOUNG PEOPLE
 MARRIED AT ST. JOHNS

Miss Katherine Rudd, charming Springerville girl, was married Tues day morning at 600 o'clock to Mir. Quincy Handles, who is connected with the Forestry Service Bureau at Albuquerque. The nuptial knot was tied by Rev. Miller, and immediately afterward the couple entered their automobile to depart on their wedding tour. They left amid great demon- stration, a flock of automobiles sur rounding them with footing horns and deafening noises. After getting few miles from town they stopped their car and pitched off half wagon load of rice and old shoes. Mir. and Mrs. Handles will be at home in Albuquer- que after November 1st.--St. Johns Observer.

road that Miss Todd had long since abandoned, that this brilliant woman decided to take her unique powers to the Woman's Party. In short she offered to make the long arduous journey through the suffrage states to tell western women just how inn possible the battle of eastern women had become,-to beg western women to unite as women and fail to return to power party that for four years has blocked the passage of the Fed eral suffrage amendment. In attack ing the record of President Wilson and his support, Miss Todd gives due credit to the power of the Chief Ex- ecutive, who has so absolutely for four years led his party and dictated their policies. She proves that, as he rammed child labor down the threats of the unwilling south, so could he have come to the rescue of the women of the nation had he been so minded.
 Miss Todd will arrive in Flagstaff at 1850 p. m. September 30, accom-

In southern Ari- zona where she also opened the cam paign Miss Todd was received with tremendous enthusiasm by suffragists and non-suffragists, partisans and non-partisans alike. The tremendous charm and humor of the speaker, and her long career as battler for women and children, won her instant recogni- ton.

SETTLERS MAY ADJUST
 RIGHTS ON RESERVATION

On August II, 1916, there was an Act of Congress passed authorizing the adjustment of rights of settlers on part of the Navajo Indian Reserva- tion in the State of Arizona. The said act of Congress is as follows:
 "Be it enacted by the Senate and the House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled. That all lands which were occupied by settlers or persons who were entitled to make entries thereof, and submit final proof under the pro- visions of the general homestead law of the United States prior to the here matter mentioned Executive order and upon the making and approval of the public surveys of such lands, said Ex- ecutive order being of date January eighth, nineteen hundred, and with drawing from sale and settlement a tract of country lying west of the Navajo and Moqui Reservations in Arizona, and which lands were in- cluded in the said Executive order, are hereby excepted from the operations thereof, and such settlers are hereby granted authority at any time within ninety days from the approval here of to make homestead entry of not to exceed one hundred and sixty acres of such land, and submit final proof of the existence of their rights at the date of such Executive order of ex- tension, and patents therefor shall is- sue upon payment to the United States of the legal fees and purchase price,"

After study abroad of new methods in child training, she gave up teach ing and turned to social work. The misery of the underfed and neglected child called to her far more urgently than her work for the more fortunate children of the school-room. She be- came associated at Hull House with Miss Jane Adams, and little later was made State Factory Inspector for the State of Illinois where she at last had chance to take up the cudgels in earnest for the wage earning woman and child.
 It was Miss Todd's bitter experience as factory inspector and of the power lessness of the voteless woman, that drove her to suffrage work. North and south, east and west, Miss Todd has told her story of the unprotected women and girl toilers. She has told her story of the unprotected women and girl toilers. She helped win the suffrage battle in California, in Ne vada, in Washington; and also helped the game but loosing fighters of Pennsylvania, Massachusetts and New York. But Miss Todd's closest battle was fought in the South, where she pleaded for suffrage referendum be- fore the Texas legislature-and lost by one vote.
 It was the last battle in the south that made Miss Todd realize the futi- lity of the state by state battle for suffrage. She came to the conclusion that to force slow-thinking congress to act was shorter cut than to ap- peal to every voter in thirty-six states.
 Miss Todd appeared before the Judi ciary Committee of the House of Rep resentatives last congress and begged for action in the name of the voting women of the west, only to be laughed at by the majority in power.
 At her rousing talk on the history of the Democratic Congress on the suffrage amendment in Flagstaff, she will tell of this interview, and of the many deputations of noble women who have pleaded for freedom for the women of the nation for nearly four years. She will tell of the time when President Wilson first heard there was suffrage question in this coun- try, told of the 67-year-old battle by Miss Alice Paul, the young leader of the Federal Amendment cause. At that time the representative of the Democratic party expressed himself as Interested in the growth of a movement he had before paid no at- tention to. Later he expressed him. self as impressed; and finally when Miss Todd made her appeal in the name of voting women few months ago, he said he would investigate the question.
 It is because this investigation led only to useless endorsement of state by state suffrage, the old impossible

ROOSEVELT APPLAUDS
 HUGHES SPEECH

Theodore Roosevelt sat in a box at Carnegie hall when MT. Hughes deliv- cred his speech of acceptance and wig. orously applauded every telling point
 The colonel repeatedly arose and bowed in response to the cheers for him and the shouts of '9Teddyr ''Ted, Cyr' "Hurrah for Teddyv' and when the meeting adjourned he made the following statement:
 Tt is an admirable speech, and wish to call attention to the following points:
 "l am particularly pleased with the exposure of the folly. and worse than folly, of MT. Wilson's Mexican policy and of the way in which this policy has brought humiliation to the United States and disaster to Mexico itself.
 Moreover. l am very glad of the straightforward manner in which Mir Hughes has shown the ridicule with which Mir. Wilson has covered this nation by the manner in which he al- iO"Su ioltlSh pO"ClS lo Euli huC pression that. although he used the strongest words in diplomacy. they were not to be taken seriously.
 Not Words Which Count.
 "As Mir. Hughes said. it is not words. but the strength and resolution be. hind the words which count. As Mir Hughes pointed out. there is no doubt that If Mfr. Wilson's conduct and ac- ton had been such as to make the for. eign nations believe that he meant pre- cisely what he said in his strict ac- countability' there would have been no
 estruction of American lives by the sinking of the Lusitania.
 When Mir. Hughes uses strong words his record shows that they are always backed by strong deeds, and therefore ih the enormous majority of cases the use of strong words renders it unnec. essary ever to have recourse to strong deeds
 Again. Mir. Hughes speaks in char. acteristically straightforward fashion of the outraaas committed on muni tions plants. and all men. whether citi. zens of foreign nations or nominal citi- zens of our own land, who had in any shape or way abetted or condoned those actions can understand that Mir Hughes. if president will protect these domestic American interests and pun. ish offenders against them with the fearlessness and thoroughness that he showed in dealing with the powers of evil at Albany.
 Brought Nation to lgnominy.
 Just before coming in to listen to Mir Hughes just characterization of Mir. Wilson's failure to protect the lives and property of Americans in Mexico and on the high seas I hap pened to pick up John Fiske's Critical Period of American History and was struck by the following two sentences:
 "A government touches the lowest point of ignominy when 1t confesses its inability to protect the lives and the property of its citizens A gov ernment which has come to this has failed in discharging the primary func. ton of government and forthwith ceases to have any reason for exist. ing
 "Mr Hughes has pointed out in his speech with self restraint, but with emphasis. that 1t is precisely this primary function which Mir. Wilson's administration has failed to discharge and that 1t is precisely this point of ignominy to which he has reduced the nation over which he is president"
