Down in Wichita where they have
the strongest local suffrage associa-
ton in the state, the two suffrage So
Equal Suffrage association, are gong
to unite to work for the passing of
the Susan B. Anthony amendment.
The National Equal Suffrage asso-
citation, thru its president, Mrs carrie
Chapman Gait (who, by the way, was
in Topeka a year or two ago and met
a great many of the women of this
town., has written to Mrs. C. h.
Brooks, president of the Kansas Equal
Suffrage association, asking her TO
look after the campaign so far as the
part Kansas may take in it is con-
cerned 1t is proposed that each state
now having woman's franchise, shall
enroll 5000 men and women, each one
of whom shall contribute so cents, in
order that a fund may be raised to
send speakers south for two months
! Kansas will be asked TO send two or
| her best women speakers into two of
! the southern states, where they are to
work for two months. Opposition to
suffrage is strong in the south, and
/ the women will work to enlist the
| sympathies of the women and the
| congressman of that section.
1t will not hurry Kansas at all to
| find two women who could do the
speaking and do it well. The trouble
| is going to be in choosing only two
from the numbers that this state
could offer.
Nellie and Sara Kouns, the young
prima donnas who scored so emphat-
ically in their song recital at the Pal

| man, and a teacher in the State uni
| versity, has broken in. An entire
| pages is given to a poem from his pen,
1.-The Seventh Vial" And in the mag
azine is also a page article written
by Harry Kemp, and a photograph
of him. Mr.. Wattles' work has been
winning recognition over the country
in the past few years. Some of his
verses have been copied and review
ed in the poetry section CT the Liter
airy Digest, and when that magazine
notices it, it is certainly in the class
of worth while writing. He has con-
tributed with considerable regularity
to the Sunday section of the kansas
City Star. The Springfield Republi-
can of Massachusetts,, has used good
deal of his verse, and his poems have
appeared from time to time in The
Smart Set.
Mr. Wattles is IL Wichita man, and
his mother is a proment club woman
in that part of the state. He is g
graduate of X u, and took degree
1 believe at Amherst. He has wor
sufficient recognition to be given ar
invitation to spend the summer in thf
Mcdowell Colony, Peterboro, Vermont
and is in that retreat this season. He
is a member of the Kansas Authors
club. and was one of the speakers al
the last annual meeting of the society
in Topeka.
