Saturday Night Thoughts
By R. M. Painter

our attention being attracted 10
an article under the caption of
"Union Meeting" with the clos
ing lines, "Let US help each 9th
er to make Meade better place
in which to live, and with that
sentiment we were in hearty ac-
cord. Another article was head
ed, "Mens' Meeting, and it be-
gan, "Be Sure Your Sins Will
Find You Out" Certain obli-
cations were obligatory on all to
bring about the commendations
of our Master Those taking ad-
vantage of these meetings were
assured "A warm hand grasp
and most hearty welcome" Af-
ter reading these articles a rem
inisent mood came over us; our
thoughts ran back to the early
days of our county seat; we re-
membered the men and the
women who stood up for morality
and better living. Of these
many have passed on to the land
OF the Lael, and those who
have been permitted to remain
are always found in the fore
front in all things pertaining to
a cleaner and better life, diligent
in church work, giving of their
means to ut.building all things
that tend to bring sunshine into
the lives of all, "Scattering Seeds
of Kindness, thus helping to
drive away the clouds of dissen-
tion. BY their example, their
stes dfast manner of upholdlng
the church of their choice, the
church was kept alive, remaining
an instrument for good. BY
their works we learned to know
them aud to appreciate their val
ne to our com munity. Then it
was we tried to imagine the out
come, had it not been for the
good of these true instruments
of the Master. Where would tie
the churches in Meade to-day?
Then we ask our selves: Why
should the good folk of good old
Meade permit some up-start
who has not done one thing for
the betterment of Meade, the
author of dissentlons, the divid.
ing of those who have always
worked in harmony, who is al
the tin using his p ace and pow
err to reak out his venemous de,
sire to down every one who re-
fuses to bow to his diction or re-
fuses to become his tool. A man
or a woman who desires to ex.
press his or her opinions at once
becomes the target of his con
temptable orslaug hts and vitu.
perations. Only those can obtain
tavor who are ready to become
his su ubservient tool. In his
eyes, to think and express your
own thoughts; advance an idea,
right or wrong, that was not
first filtered through his monu-
mental think-works, to him is an
objectionable infringement up IN
his self constituted rights or
prerogstive that he seems to
think he has a perpetual patent
right to, and anyone who infring-
es thereon must be relegated to
the scrap pile. 1t was Jesus
who said. Beware of false
prophets who come to YOU In
sleeps clothing, but inwardly
they are ravening wolves. -.
To those who have born the
brunt Of the battle for more than
quarter of a century in the up
building of the community we
owe much for the morality and
decency of Meade today, and it
is the duty of all good people to
uphold them and refuse to let

In New York at the present time.
"The paciiist's vote would naturally
be cast for woman suffrage because, de-

WASHINGTON, Nov. Miss Alice

was forcibly fed tonight under the

District jail after she had been on

protest against the salt pork and cab

Miss Rose Winslow, Of New York,
another Of the ten White House pickets
in the Jail, went on hunger strike with
Miss Paul. 1t is not aseertained
whether she also has been forcibly fed.
For several days Miss Paul has been
in the Jail hospital as a result OF her
general breaking down of strength
occasioned by abstention from 1000

Suffrage Drive
Began Nov. 3, 1915

II was & few minutes after midnight
on November 3, 1915, that little group
of suffragists mounted a deserted
truck in front of Benjamin Franklin's
statue. in Park Row, and made the first
suffrage speeches of the campaign
which carried the cause "over the top"
on Tuesday.
The papers were not yet off the
presses, announcing the overwhelming
defeat" Of the suffrage amendment for
1915, when Mrs. Norman der. White
house, Mrs. Ogden Reid. Mrs. James
Blair and other leaders of the Woman
Suffrage party, who had been watching
the sorrowful returns in The Tribune
Building, turned their back on 1915 and
began the new campaign.
"Victory in 1917" they cried. Then,

voters who still chung 10 the centres
Of election night excitement, Will IT.
win, standing on the empty truck, made
the first speech Of The campaign.
The determination of the soft
spoken, dark-eyed, little Mrs. White
house, who was then chairman of the
publicity committee of the Woman Suf-
frage campaign committee, was strong
enough to overcome later any lurking
opposition on the part of discouraged
leaders toward the new campaign.
When the amendment was offered in
the Legislature the following January,
Mrs Whitehouse was made state chair
man, and it was upon her slender
shoulders that the great burden fell OF
pushing the bill through in the face
Of the opposition of Senator Elon r.
Brown and other determined anti-suf-
fragists.
Once through the Legislature there
was no enemy bu, the unconyerted
voter and the diminishing power Of the
anti-sufTrage organization. The suf-
fragists tore up their membership
cards and went from house to house
canvassing the women OF the state
confident that the voters would yield
once it vas made clear that the women
wanted il.
II was this policy that swept the
woren into power on Tuesday and

1871"
