DECLARES
THEY ARE
STATESMEN
DR.. Effie McCollum Jones
Says Legislative Mem
bers Geta on Band
Wagon.

'The North Dakota legislature is
composed of statesmen, if the MEM
bers are to be measured by the old
saying that the difference between a
politician and a statesman is that the
latter knows the difference between a.
bandwagon and a hearse." said DIR.
Effie McCollum Jones. who addressed
a large audience at the Grand theatre
last night as the last number of the
Grand Free lecture course.
DR.. Jones was speaking on the sub
ject of Political Equality and Wom-
ans Responsibility" In Introductory
remarks the speaker said that the
people Of North Dakota are to be con-
graduated for taking the step for
ward and granting limited suffrage to
women.
The speaker said that the statesmen
all over the country see suffrage coin
ing and are climbing on the bandwag-
on $50 rapidly that it is impossible
for the map commission to keep up
with the political map Of the country"
The speaker called attention to the
fact that in six states of the Union
women voted for president in 1912 and
that in the last presidential election
the number of states where women
voted was doubled I'VE hope to
again double this before another cleo
ton comes around" said the speaker.
Dr. Jones made the prediction that
Russia, in becoming a republic. would
extend the franchise to women, and
quoted Lloyd George to the effect that
the next logical step in England would
be granting the franchise to women
I'VE often hear the statement that
politics is not a woman's business
said the speaker. "It is not really a
mans business, either. The trouble
is that every state is suffering to-
day because too many men have made
politics a business. Politics is an
everyday duty of every citizen. 1t is
our contention that women have the
right to participate in government for
the reason that they are required to
conduct themselves in accordance with
the laws Of society, pay taxes and sup
port the government"
The speaker was introduced by Mrs.
r. E. Weible, who reviewed briefly the
work of the Grand Free Lecture
course for the past season. She said
that an even better course is being
planned for the coming winter.

HE LIGHTS UP THE HOUSE

Emerson: When man is born with
a profound moral sentiment, pre-
ferring truth, justice and the serving
of all men to any honors or any gain,
men readily feel the superiority. They
who deal with him are elevated with
Joy and hope. He lights up the house
or the landscape in which he starts.
His actions are poetic and miraculous
in their eyes. In his presence, or
within his influence, every one believes
in the morality of the soul.
