How valiant they shout when they're

But "the dawn's early light finds

The Equal Suffrage Club

The first regular meeting for the
season Of 1853 was held Mon
day night, when the interested
members of the club were present,
and many matters of Importance
were disposed of. The different
committees did splendid york al
summer and fall. and due to their
interchangeable efforts the Suffrage
amendment was carried, 81, in
Natchitoches parish - the exact
vote it is impossible to give, as
the returns have not as yet been
promulgated, but every ward but
one voted for it. The program
for the year was discussed, and 10
was decided that at the monthly
meetings the two topics to be pre-
sented by the leaders, who will
select their own speakers (lnan and
woman) will be Current Events
in the Suffrage World and Tho
Aftermath of the War"
The officers unanimously elected
to serve for the year are Miss
Newell, president; Mrs. Scarbor-
ough, vice-president Miss Gaul-
den, recording secretary Mrs.
Henry, corresponding secretary =
Miss Perkins, treasurer.

Women and Politicians

Every now and then some particular
ewent gives US a clearer understanding
Of the unconquerable antipathy of the
average politician for the cause Of
woman suffrage. 1t is we'll known
fact that the woman voter is thorn
Ia the side of the political schemer, but
exactly how potent force for good she
may become is rarely revealed in this
day when recognition of her political
rights is not general. Her political
Judgment, however, is generally so dis
eliminating that when she does have
aa opportunity to exercise it, the poll
tieian teels it to his marrow bones.
A recent example was the over
whelming defeat by his democratic op
ponent of Senator ohm Wingate Weeks,
Of Massachusetts, republican. Massa-
shusetts is normally republican state,
and for a number of years Senator
Weeks has had undisputed control of
the party machinery in that common
wealth. He is a politician of the old
school, "sot in his ways" Ito employ
Yrovincialism), and harbering the de-
fusion that we must never depart from
the safe mornings established by the
seiginal makers of the American con-
stitution. In fact, Senator Weeks
sticks to old political ideals so closely
EAat he made the fatal mistake of lin
Ing up against woman suffrage.
So when Senator Weeks ran for re-
election recently, the women lined up
against him. AS we said, Weeks was
pewerful. He had been a naval of
eeer, was a Spanish American war
veteran, had served ten years in the
ower house of Congress. and is serv.
ng his first term (unexpireO as United
States senator. With normal repub.
loan state behind him, it looked as if |
Weeks were an easy winner. But when
he votes were counted, he was found
% have been showed under. The ladies /
nd endorsed him. ID
In New York the woman voters also {
hanged the political complexion of the
tate, turning out Governor Whitman, I
publican, who was candidate for re. {
lection, and naming Alfred E. Smith, {
smocrat, to succeed him. Whitman Y
arried the upstate precincts, but the
etc of New York city defeated him. t
Without the women that could not I

The old time problem of whether
or not American troops shall be
used in Europe to keep order in
the reyolution-ridien countries
will have to be decided soon by
President Wilson. In the same
Mexican problem he decided that
her people had a right to work
out their own destiny, and there is
no reason for belief that he will
not take the same stand in regard
to Europe.
The stand for democracy that
he encouraged In Europe, by ap-
pealing to subiugated peoples, he
he is not likely to block by placing
American troops over there for
the purpose of restoring order and
preventing a spread of democracy
in European lands. so those low
ers of social order who see personal
and financial advantage in policing

who have been in the lighting
longest to be the first sent back,
and it may be possible that many
will get home by the new year,
as it is believed that 300, 600 a

France. The rehabilitation will
be carried out as follows:
lst. Development battalions,
