The new head Of what Is probably
the biggest single state suffrage organ-
ization In the world Is Mrs. Norman
De X. Whitehouse. In spite Of Mrs.
Whitehouse's youth she has been cho-
sen to head this big organization be-
cause Of her genius for leadership.
She Is endowed with that supreme
gift by which men climb to the sum-
init Of large concerns everywhere. She
knows what she wants and how she
wants 1t. She puts her finger with
swiftness and exactness upon flaws,
utilities. discrepancies.
Mrs. Whitehouse was born In New
Orleans. how few years ago the suf-
frage organizat ton Is rather careful to
conceal. since youth seems to be Mrs.
whitehouse's only handicap. But ev-
cry one knows that youths q thing
will not endure" therefore there is lit
tie need Of charging this up against
one who has achieved as much In the
past two and half years as the New
York State Womm Suffrage party
chairman.
In spite OF growing up among the
antisuffrage ideals Of a southern city.
Mrs. Whitehouse became a suffrage
worker Just before the 1913 suffrage
parade, She was not hurled into the
cause by any great event She 'just
thought It was right" that's all. IL
had always been interested In fair
play for women as well as men-in jus
tice for ALL" said she. women always
obeyed the laws. and ] couldn't see
why they shouldn't share In making
the laws. They paid taxes. and I
couldn't see why It was fair to tax a
woman and not let her vote. II some
how never seemed to me to be playing
the game fairly to give men the vote
and withhold It from women" This
was the simple and direct road by
which brilliant society woman ar
rived at becoming the serious and re-
sponsible head Of one of the most i'm
portant political movements Of her
generation.

JUDGE DICKSON TO LECTURE

FAMOUS AUTHOR WILL BE

NESDAY, JULY &c.

Hon. Harris Dickson, of Vicks-
burg, one of Mississippi's greatest
writers of fiction, and one who rivals
the late lamehted Joel Chandler
Harris in the delineation of the
negro character, is to undertake a
series Of lectures for the benefit of
the First Mississippi Regiment now
bivouaeked at Camp Swep Taylor in
Jackson, and Columbus will be in
cluded among the cities which he
will visit. The tour will be under the
auspices of the Mississippi Elks, and
Columbus Lodge No. 555, b. p. O..
H., will stand sponsor for the local
engagement, which has been arrang-
ed for July 25.
NO slissfssippian nas ever gained
greater prominence in the literary
field than Mr.. Dickson, his stories
which have appeared in the Satur-
day Evening Post and other leading
periodicals having been widely read,
and having gained for him a reputa-
ton as being past master in the
art of depicting the Mississippi ne
gro, who possesses sufficient astute-
ness to live by his wits. Such negroes
are common, not only in Mississippi,
but throughout the south, and every
southerner is familiar with them. 1t
has been left to Mr.. Dickson, how
ever, to bring these negroes into
composite form and to present them
to admiring readers in the person of
"Old Reliable"
Mr.. Dickson will be accorded a
most enthusiastic welcome here, and
Collmbians generally will join the
local Elks in an effort to make the
engagement an unqualified success.
