that the note was to be delivered to
the public and Informed them that In
the late afternoon they would expect
IA statement" to be released for pub
licatlon shortly thereafter.
In his testimony Secretary Lansing
said he had discovered. since the day
that he gave this advance information
to the newspaper men on the forth
coming statement. that three persons
were In the room who were not news
paper men. Later the names of these
men were given and each one made
separate avowal that he had not dis
closed anything that he had heard
during the interchange between the
secretary and the correspondents.
1t has been the custom of the secre-
tary Of state to meet the newspaper
correspondents In the big reception
room Of the state department. a room
Into which visitors on sightseeing bent
ordinarily are admitted. There are
a great many newspaper correspond
ents In Washington and not all of them
are known personally to the secretary
Of state. 1t would have been a COM
paratively easy matter ut all times for
an outsider to obtain admission to the
room In which these conferences are
held. 1t is probable that In the fu-
ture the secretary will talk to the
newspaper men under more ade-
quate cover.
Former Secretaries More Cautious.
Always in past years 1t has been an
extremely difficult thing for an unau-
thorized person to enter the precincts
where a confidential conference be-
tween the officials Of government and
newspaper correspondents is to be car
ried on. Mr.. Lansing Is the first sec
rotary of state for many years at least
who chose to talk Ia the big outside
room.
When the president holds his one
day-a-week talks with newspaper cor
respondents there are four checks,
yes, one might say five checks, on ad-
mission. There are secret service
men on duty at the White House Of
fees In the morning when the presi-
dent Is there present These men know
all the Washington correspondents by
sight. When the writer's enter the
round office room in which the presl-
dent meets them they pass by the
secret service man who stands Mt the
door and scans each face as its pos
SCISSOR walks In.
With the president when he talks to
newspaper men almost invariably are
Joseph =. Tumulty, his private secre-
tary; Rudolph Forster, executive
clerk, and Thomas w. Brahany, chief
clerk. In addition there is stenog-
rapher who takes down the questions
which are asked the president and the
presidents answers thereto.

Pretty Suffrage PIckets.

Twelve silent woman sentinels, six
of them bearing banners, have been
standing In front of the gates giving
entrance to the White House grounds.
The banners read, "Mr. Wilson, what
are you going to do for woman suf-
frage?'
The young women who carry the
banners are young and good-loOking.
The banners are yellow, white and
purple, and altogether the thing is
a pleasing picture. OF course the
action of the Congressional Union
for Woman Suffrage, which formulated
and carried through this plan for
bringing Mr.. Wilson's attention to the
cause in hand has been criticized
sharply here in Washington, and let
haste be made to say 1t also has been
upheld by many suffrage sympathlzers.
1t is not the intention of this news
article to deal with the merits or de-
merits OF woman suffrage. Some Of
the doings of the suffragists, however,
can be told with propriety and might
be told with extreme picturesqueness
IL the writer's pen were equal to the
undoubtedly picturesque features Of
the movement as 1t is conducted In
this town.
The house committee on judiciary
has turned In two reports on the sub
ject of submitting the federal suffrage
amendment to the Constitution Of the
United States. The majority Of the
recommendation one way or the other.
The minority members put in a report
Of their own and Ii Is favorable to the
cause of the women. The suffragists
in getting the matter before the house
In whatever form, have won an initial
victory. AS for the future, not even
the women can tell.
Two Organizations, One Aim.
There are two organizations of suf-
fragists represented In Washington,
ably represented, and In considerable
part, let one who wants to be gallant
say, beautifully represented. There is
the National American Woman Suf-
frage association, and then there Is the
Congressional Union for Woman Suf-
frage. Both bodies of women are striv-
Ing for the same end, but each Is TAX.
Ing a different route to reach 1t.
1t has been said by some persons
that the union represents militant suf-
frage methods. like those which were
in use in England, and that the Ma
tional association represents the other
method of getting the vote the women
want. 1t Is only right to say that the
mllitancy of the Congressional union
is not militancy by force Of arms cor
Of bricks" Some people call the sta
tioning of silent sentinels In front of
the White House militancy. Others do
not 80 call 1t. 1t was representatives
of the Congressional union who un-
furled the suffrage banner In the house
of representatives when the president
was making his address to the men,
bers. This has been called miIitancy
although II certainly Is not stone-throw-
ing militancy.

NEW PASTOR OF
CONG. CHURCH

Rev. F.. E. Stillwell preached his
farwell sermon as pastor of the
Congregational church of this city
last Sunday morning to a congraga-
ton that filled the church to its ca
pacity, his resignation having been
previously rendered and accepted
by the congregation. Rev Still
we'll had been pastor of the church
for three years and it was the fond
est hopes of the congregation that
he could be retained longer. Dur
ing his pastorate there have been
siXty-one accessions to the member
ship of the church. twenty-one by
letters of transfer from chul clles
elsewhere and forty Oh confession
of faith, not counting the list of as
sociate members. This more than
quadrrlples the actual membership
OF the church during this one past
crate. or these, thirty-seven were
admitted i'll the present year. The
church has prospered as never be-
fore. When the basement was
completed in the last year money
for the payment of all bills was on
hand before the work started. All
church bills have been paid more
promptly, helping to establish the
present good credit of the church.
Outside the church, his work for
the betterment and uplift of the
community in general, has resulted
in much good and won for him the
warm friendship of all it's citizens.
But when a call came from the
Wahpeton church a field of greater
endeavor and possibilities had been
opened to him that even a substan-
tial increase in salary could not
induce him to lay aside. Rev. Still
we'll is a young man and his being
called to the largest Congregational
church in North Dakota speaks
IlucIl lof MN. as IL is a held that
few men Of his age are capable of
filling.
Last Thursday evening fare
we'll reception was given in the
church parlors and Rev. Stillwell
was presented with handsome
leather travelling bag as token of
remembrance.
Rev. Stillwell left Argyle Mon
day and will spend ii month S vaca-
tion at Detroit and other places be-
fore taking up the work in his new
field. He will be held in grateful
remembrance by the people Of
Argyle. whose best wishes 60 with
