. I. C. Chamberlayne Speaks.

Hon. I. C.. Chamberlayne of New
York addressed an audience of over
three hundred at the Princeton armory
on national issues Tuesday evening,
and proved to be forceful and elo-
quent speaker. Mr.. Chamberlayne was
secured by the newly organized
Woodrow Wilson Independent Voters
League, and Mr.. G. A. Eaton, pres
ident: of the league, introduced the
speaker in a brief but fitting man
ner. Prior to this, however; an
orchestra made up of Miss Lola
Scheen, Herbert Anderson, John Berg
and Allen Ross rendered two selections
most pleasingly. ~
At the outset the speaker stated
that President Wilson stood an excel
lent chance of securing the electoral
vote of Minnesota, and that this was
the, reason that outside speakers were
being sent here to outline the achieve.
ments of the present administration.
Mr.. Chamberlayne then called atten'
ton to the fact that when Justice
Hughes accepted the nomination fol

Judge Quinn Visits Princeton.

Judge James H. Quinn of Fairmont
was a guest of the Dunn family over
Sunday. The Judge is candidate for
associate justice Of the supreme court,
and there is every reason to believe
that he will be elected. The Judge
went from here to Elk River, and from
there he went to Anoka, Cambridge
and Center City. In each Of these
county seats he met with much en-
enlargement. By virtue Of his long
and continuous service on the district
bench-he is now and has been for
twenty years judge of the seventeenth
judicial district and has held court in
thirty-four counties outside of his own
district-and his. high standing as a
man and jurist, it is generally con-
coded that he will have an easy VIC
tory at the polls.

FavOrs the Bond Proposition.

Mr. Charles Stark, prominent
farmer residing near Foreston, is in
tensely interested in good roads, and
consequently he hopes that the bond
proposition will carry at the general
election. Under date of October II,
Mr.. Stark writes the Union as follows:
81 wish every voter in Mile Laos
county would think oyer what it
actually means to have good roads,
and that they will vote yes on the
proposition to issue bonds in the sum
Of $4,000 to be used in improving
highways That is the only way to
get good roads. After the state roads
are finished the other roads Of the
county can be permanently improved
in comparatively short time, if we
get men who will put the money on the
roads and not in their own pockets"
If the bond proposition carries we
can assure Mr.. Stark that the money
will be properly expended.

Not a Scandinavian.

Charley Babb, well-known Spencer
Brook farmer, writes the Union.
'Will you please state through the
columns of the Union if Mr.. w. 3.
Anderson, candidate for associate JUS
tice of the supreme court, is Scandi-
navian or of Scandinavian descent.
We had quite an argument over it the
other evening. I maintained that he
was not Scandinavian. I also claimed
that Judge James H. Quinn, the other
candidate for the supreme court, was
a Methodist. Am right or wrong?"
You are right, Mr.. Babb. Mr.. An
derson is a Minneapolis lawyer who has
served several sessions in the lower
branch Of the legislature. He was
born at Pittsburg, Pa, and is of Scotch
or Scotch-Irish descent. Anderson is
a very common name in Scotland and
the north Of Ireland, so are the names
Of Nelson and Johnson. Mr.. Anderson
has never held any judicial office.
Judge James H. Quinn was born in
Wisconsin. He is also of Scotch-Irish
descent. He affiliates with the Meth
odist church. He has served as judge
of the seventeenth judicial district,
which is composed of the counties Of
Martin, Jackson and Faribault, for 20
years; his term as district judge ex-
pires next January. He has also held
court in "a counties outside of his own
district and is generally regarded by
the bench and bar as one Of the ablest
district judges in the state.

Of noted tjinxes," Mr.. George C. Brown
and Miss Allie Saxon procured IL
cense to wed at the court house, and
accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. H. c..
Goebel of Milaca, boarded the morning
train for Minneapolis, where they
bravely faced the superstitious atmo-
sphere Of the day and were quietly
welded.
The wedding occurred at o'clock
p. M, in room 1872 of the Vendome
hotel in Minneapolis. Rev. Emerson
Service, who was on his way to take
the passionate of the M. E. church at
Little Falls, was stopping over in Min
neapolis, performed the ceremony.
Mr.. and Mrs. H. C. Goebel of Milaca
were the official witnesses to the joyful
event. Mrs. Goebel is sister of the
bride. The. only other witnesses to
the ceremony were Mrs. E. B. Service
! and reporter from the Minneapolis
Tribune staff.
After the wedding happy hour was
spent in chat with Rev. Service and
wife and then the bride and groom,
accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. Goebel,
partook of a quiet wedding supper at
the Rogers cafe. The evening was
spent at the Orpheum theater. The
party returned to Princeton the next

the presidency, he stated that the only
reason he did so was because of the
great crisis that confronted the coun-
try, and which he believed demanded
his services as chief executive. Thus
far in the campaign just what this
crisis is has not been disclosed, said
the speaker. Opponents of the presi-
dent have been more than liberal with
their criticisms, but no alternative
policy has been advanced.
The speaker then dwelt upon the
legislative record of the administra-
ton, and stated that more laws bene-
fitting mankind had been enacted dur
ing the past three years and half,
than during any quarter Of a century
in American history. 1t marks new
epoch, he said, and will constitute one
Of the brightest pages Of the domestic
HISTORY Of the United States.
The tariff was then dwelt upon, and
the speaker stated that every panic of
the last SO years had come under a
protective tariff tax. He stated, how
ever, that tariff laws have nothing to
do with financial stringencies and added
that currency laws governed those
things. He then Landed the federal re-
serve act, and expressed the opinion
that there would never be another
panic so long as that piece of legis-
lation remained on the statute books
Of the nation.
The Mexican policy Of the admins.
tration was defended as being wise
and just. Mr.. Chamberlayne stated
that Americans who had invested
there took gamblers chance; thai
they knew that the government was
unstable, and that these unsettled con
ditions enabled them to acquire lands
and concessions for mere song, so tt
speak. Now that they are there, HI
said, they want to coin American

WHY FEW WOMEN OF GENIUS
Sex Has Been Too Long Handicapped
for Real Development OF
Natural Gifts.

Whether wenen will ever rise to ge-
MUS of the first rank cannot be known
till they have enjoyed several gen.
erations of equal opportunity with men
for development.
<'"rhe attitude toward woman in the
past has made the development of ge-
MUS in her very difficult, if not alto
.etEer impossible" says. prominent
woman lecturer, but now she is be-
ginning to enjoy larger opportunity
and the sympathy of men in her en-
deavOr for the development of her
gifts, and the inventions Of modern
times have relieved. her of many Of
the arGuOEs duties Of the home.
'ThOse who discuss the woman ques-
ton from the standpoint of sex, indus
try or politics take too narrow u view
Of the subject, for the woman ques-
ton of today is broader than that
and her outward activities are but the
result of her intellectual awakening.
The woman question is natural
growth of evolution and cannot be
either forced or held back. Granting
her the ballot is but small part of
her advancement it is but means to
an end. The reason the woman ques-
ton is so misunderstood today is be-
cause many do not care to study it
ut all, some bring the accumulated
prejudice of ages to the study, and
others are actively opposed to it."
