Editor tiissoulian.

Americas only congresswo,nan has
been lecturing in Massa chusctts and
her addresses indicate that it would
be well if the house Of representatives
had n majority in accord with her.
These lectures show her to be an ad-
vocate of the initiative and refereu-
DUN, proportional representation. the
preferential ballot and other measures
needed to perfect public democracy.
But she does not stop there. She
has advanced views on industrial
democracy and knows what is essen
tial to its establishment. "All the
great movements for democracy are
founded on free land" she said. and
this constitutes a refreshing contrast
to the many misguided though sincere
reformers who think 1t is possible TO
maintain freedom upon a monopolized
earth.
The craftsmanship OF Miss Rankin
alone refutcs all the objections brought
forward by opponents of political
equality for the sexes. II stands forth

ment of suffrage as "the spirit and
