shown in this case as would warrant the

Mrs. j. Ross Thomson, president of the
Montgomery County Just Government
League, entertained at luncheon the MEM
bers of the executive board of the league
at her home in Garrett Park on Friday.
January 18th. Mrs. II. D. Howell and Mrs.
c. E. Rowe. of Riverdale, Md. the president
and secretary of the newly organized
branch of the Just Government League in
Prince Georges county, were also guests.
They brought cheering news of the progress
of their enthusiastic, young society, which
looks upon Mrs. Thomson as its foster
mother. After lunch an informal meeting
was held, at which plans for work soon to
be undertaken were fully discussed. The
discussion revealed the fact that the MEM
bers OF the league are not all in sympathy
with the women at present engaged in
picketing the White House in behalf of
the Federal suffrage amendment. They
believe suffrage is to be won for women
by rational appeal to the good sense and
fairness of the American people, rather
than by spectacular demonstrations.
