LATE TRAINS DELAY
SUFFRAGE LEADERS

A fair sized crowd of disappointed
women and a generous sprinkling OF
curious men gathered at the Huree
theatre Wednesday afternoon to hear
the much heralded suffrage leaders,
Inez M. Boissevain and Sara Bard
Field, who were scheduled to speak in
this city. Owing to belated trains, the
two speakers were unable to fill their
observation-disclosures the disappointed
audience.
Miss Barker, a member of the tour
ing party, was instroduced by Mrs.
w A. Stone, and filled the difficult
role of substitute in most pleasing
manure. Her plea, which is represen-
tative of that of the group OF DIS
tinguished women now touring the
west in behalf of nationwide suffrage.
for women, is from the unenfranchised
women of the south and east. asking
their voting sisters in suffrage states
to withhold their support from the
Democratic party which has refused &c
stand for national suffrage by consti'
tutional amendment.
Miss Barker accounted for the pre-
ponderance of suffrage territory II
the west in two ways: there is larger
proportion of lberal-minded people II
that section, and the constitutions o
western states suit themselves more
readily to changing conditions.
Indiana was cited as an example o
the difficulty in amending state con
stitutions, majority of all qualified
voters being required to effect
change. In eleven other states,
majority OF all votes cast is necessary
and in a dozen other no provision
made for calling an election to con
! slider amendment. Where the leg'
requirements are not prohibitive, pre-
: judice gets in some telling lieks.
: The speaker dwelt on the inconsi:
] tency of allowing foreigners with JUS
. sufficient residence to make either
a ship possible the right to vote on tn
S question of whether American Dor
women shall have the right to vote
: all in the land of their nativity. Sr
cited the fact that the organized liqut
e interests have always beer. again
G woman's suffrage, leaving the infe,
e ence that such attitude was compl
l. Women have waited nearly 20 yea
e for a hearing on this question and a
y lust getting into a position to q

to be the party in power, and becau
II has failed to recognize national ST.
ii frape as paramount issue, the Dem
er cratic party is in decided disfavor wi
u, the unenfranchised women OF the n
re ton, who are pleading for its furth
disfavor by all women voters.

Bows and Girls Clubs Winners.

The exhibits of the Boys and Girls
Clubs of the county at the recent fairs
was an eye-opener on this phase OF
modern education, the youthful COM
petitors having delivered the goods of
excellent quality and in attractive con-
dition. The work of the clubs has
been under the general supervision Of
Miss Fowler. county superintendent OF
schools, and w. r. Mccall, county
agriculturist, each club having its own
local supervisor The juvenile corn
and potato growers outstripped their
grown-up competitors at Boise. Nam
pa and Caldwell. At Nampa, the boys
won first prize on red and yellow corn
and second on white in the mems
classes. At Boise thew won first and
third on white corn. third and fourth
on yellow corn and second on single
ear. At the state fair here they won
first and third on white corn and
third on yellow. All that hindered the
the boys from winning out on po'a,
toes over the men was the tact thai
