THE WOMEN'S
PARTY AWAKENING
Women of Idaho Still Wear
Chains of Provinciality

= A great missionary movement is
afoot, but many of the women of
Idaho still sit in darkness. Wo-
men of the east have come to the
free states" of the west with the
evangel of new freedom in their
hands, but the women of Idaho, de-
spite their eighteen years Of polit-
ical equality within their own state
lines. still wear the chains of con-
ventions, prejudice and provin-
ciality. The women of the east,
who stretch out their hands to
women in equal suffrage states,
and cry "Come over and help us,"
are saying also to these same
women, "Ye are not free till we
are Free" and this is true in two
fold sense. In the first place, the
women of Idaho are not free until
they realize the sisterhood of
women, assmen so much more
easily realize the brotherhood of
man they are not free until they
have in much larger measure a
state-consciousness and a nation
consciousness, as well as the con-
sciousness of the kindly protective
four wall of home which too often
confine their activities and
limit their vision. In the second
place, in a narrower sense, women
of Idaho are not politically free as
men are, for east of Wyoming they
may not go, nor south Of Colorado,
without losing that freedom of the
ballot for which in times past men
have fought and bled, and which
women of the west have gained
perhaps too easily and hold too
lightly.
Women lack chivalry. They are
too used to being the weaker
vessel" and do not know how to
use their strength graciously. "Let
the eastern women get the vote as
we got it, by working for it," they
say, not comprehending these three
facts: First, that when the Idaho
women got the vote, there was nc
number of voting women strong
enough to help, whereas women
now vote in twelve states; Second
that the women Of the east have
already worked for suffrage longer
than the life of many western
states; Third, that the power of the
machine government, and the al.
most impossibility of amending the
state constitution in many state:
makes an amendment to the U. S
constitution the only hope of many
eastern women. For example, ir
the state of Indiana the constitution
has never been amended, and ar
amendment must be approved by 9
majority of the votes of all the
qualified electors. Rarely does &
majority of the qualified electors o1
q state register, much less vote.
~ What women need is a larger
vision. 1t is only in the last gen
Grafton that women have realized
that their own peculiar activitie
of home-making and bringing vi
children are better served if the.
may vote for pure-food laws and
"dry" town. Perhaps another gen
Grafton must pass away before the,
have learned that limite'
intellectual and moral horizon i
as bad for the spirit as unsan
itary conditions for the body o
a growing child, and the thought
of women also will broaden wit
the process of the SUNS"

SECOND READING OF
 CONFUSION BILL
Irish Nationalists Will No Further Oppose Military Service Measure,
 Declares Redmond.

London, Jan. II, 2:95 D. m.-The debate on the second reading of the military service bill began in the house of commons this afternoon. The opinion was generally expressed in the lobby that the vote in favor of the bill on the second reading would be even greater than on the first read ing, and it was predicted by some that the majority vote would dwindle to a negligible figure.
 It is believed a small number of the radical party will measure to the end. Some of these members already have been requested to resign by their constituents.
 John E. Redmond, parliamentary leader of the Irish party, announced in the house of commons this after noon that the nationalists would not further oppose the military service bill.

 I send you my hearty greetings We as country are facing a great world crisis, in which for the last eighteen months this nation has fall en far short of it's duty to it's own people and to the law abiding and justice loving nations of mankind.
 There is a crying need that we shall cast aside all purely partisan conscientious ana Q1SroSarQ all put the vital issues affecting the national life and shall strive whole heartedly for sound Americanism, which shall insist that every man who is within our borders shall be an American and nothing else.
 We must do justice to our people at home; we must insist that they have justive when abroad. We must insist on the most thor ough going preparedness to protect our rights against all possible attacks l by any aggressors. Such prepared l ness is the best guarantee of an hon. 1 orable peace
 We must ever remember that | there cannot be such preparedness ill 1 things material unless there is also i that preparedness of soul and spirit | which alone renders a nation fit to ! perform it's high and difficult duties Tn national and international life
 THEODORE ROOSEVELT"
 Among those who expressed their i views on the question of the time of
 holding the convention was William l Finn Of Pennsylvania, who urged that
 1t be held concurrently with the re- ! publican national convention.

DECISION RESERVED
 IN INJUNCTION CASE
Wells Sums Up For International SiI- yer Company and Danaher Ar
 GueS for Strikers.

New Haven, Jan. 11-Decision by Judge James H. Webb on the peti- ton of the International Silver com pany for an injunction to run against it's former employees, certain labor or ganizations and individuals to restrain them from interference with the com pany's business and present employees, was reserved this afternoon upon conclusion of the arguments The court said it would give due and careful consideration not only to the evidence but to the many authorities cited by counsel for both sides.
 MT. Wells in his argument for tho company claimed that no court could permit the uses of a public street for picketing purpose, that under the laws as now enforced use of a street can only be through medium of a li- cenSe or permit. To permit picketing g would be to permit certain persons to purpose whereas every one else has to secure a formal permit.
 MT. Danaher, for the strikers cited many precedents in labor cases, and among the decisions quoted from bearing upon injunctions was one by Judge w. H. Taft. MT. Danaher mentioned that where injunctions have been granted against labor un- ions such have been given in states where labor unions have had no strength.

CENTRAL ALLIES HAVE
 WHIP HAND OF U. S.
Manchester Guardian Declares Re- garding Germany's New Promises
 in Submarine Controversy.

London, Jan. II, 9:53 a. m.-"It seems to us that on present lines the central powers have the whip hand of the United States" says the Man chester Guardian in an editorial arti- cle regarding Germany's new promises in the submarine controversy.
 Americas diplomatic victory, the paper goes on to say, is limited to promises, as President Wilson's two principles adopted at the beginning of the ntroversy-namely, protection of Americans and assertion of the laws of humanity-Have been violated during the past six weeks in the Medi- terranean with some of the worst submarine Outrages.
 "Germany's promises the article declares, "do not bind Austria nor Austria's two allies; and if, as is now suggested, the case of the Persia is allowed to drop because no one actu- ally saw the submarine which sank her, then the central powers have a clear guide to means whereby they may sink liners or other ships without incurring diplomatic trouble. If they sink a liner without warning and without showing themselves how shall it be known that it was sunk by a submarine and not by a mine or earth quake ?"

 the steamer the later suddenly l steered at the submarine in order to ram her. At that juncture the sub- marine opened fire and hit the steam ship, which again came to @ halt. and lowered boats..
 The submarine ceased firing, drew up to the steamship and observed that the persons in the boats which had put off from the Porto Said were mak- Ing for the coast without attempting to rescue those swimming in the sea. The submarine halted the boat con- ta1n1ng the captain of the Porto l Said. The captain was told that he would be shot if he did not save those struggling in the water
