WHERE WOMEN ARE AWAKE,

The highest credit must be Civ
en- TO the newly enfranchised
women of New York state for
their success in compelling quick
and strong recognition by the
managing committees OF both
political parties.
In most instances where they
vote, women have been quite
content with the privilege Of vot-
ing, and Of agitating among them
selves. When some Of them have
btth elected to office the more
exuberant have actually tossed
their hats in the air. They swal-
low the flattery of the politicians
and settle back for the next cam
paign.
The women of New York are
different. They are led by Very
clever politicians of their own
sex, as was evidenced by the
victory in November.
Now they have advanced one
step ahead Of their sisters of the
west. They intend to have say
in the party management. Think
for instance of Tammany Hall
having at the next primary cleo
i ton, an equal number of men and
women on the New York County
Democratic Committee, along
with the strong representation OF
women on the executive commit
tee, an unofficial body that con
trolls the organization. Add to
this woman captain for each
precinct Yet all of these things
will happen this year. Tammany
has been in politics too long not
to understand the strength of
women voters, or to neglect the
advantage Of taking them imme-
diately into the inner council OF
The organization.
As result of this driving force
of the women of New York we
predict that their Influence in
politics Will be very much great
er in that state proportlonaiiy
than in any other state where
suffrage prevails. Yet there is
no earthly reason why the same
situation should not prevail III
Montana.

Talk of the Tou,,1
Librarians Must b
Mind. Readers,

Mind. Readers.
Please, ma'am, I'd like copy of
Mr.. Bretter Knocks It OUT" said q
patron Of the Missoula public library
the other day.
The librarian, being well fitted for
her place, turned straight to the
shelves and pulled down q copy Of
mfr. Britling Sees 1t Through"
But less easy to satisfy was the de-
mand Of a youngster who came In to
ask for that book with the joggerphy
in front" The librarian produced all
the books she could find in which maps
appeared. but none was the volume the
young patron wanted.
What else was in the book? she
asked at last.
"Oh, something about a grizzly bear"
was the answer. "The joggerphy Of a
grizzly bear"
The librarian. with flash Of in
spiration, brought out "Thc Biography
of a Grizzly" and the boy nodded in
delight.
| Such crises arise daily at the city
| library. One must be a mind reader as
well as a student of books to qualify
| as public librarian.

led at a critical hour, when the
enemy is at their gates.
The other extreme, that Of con-
servatism or standpattism that
reaches a pure autocracy has
been before the gaze of the peo-
pie since the French revolution.
In our own country we have at
times become worried over the
growth of money autocracy
that conceivably could be more
tyrannical and far-reaching in
its effects than the autocracies OF
Europe.
We think that This lesson will
be valuable. 1t will not turn the
faces of the people from the sun,
but it will cause them to pause
and reflect on the nature of the
goal toward which some Of them
have wandered in the steps OF
the /. w. W., the only organlza-
ton that suggests a parallel to
the Bolsheviki.
The radical of today is con-
servative tomorrow. Twenty-Five
years ago this coming summer
the conservatives of the east
raised their hands in horror at
the approach of William Jennings
Bryan, whom they called the
disciple of anarchy" Yet, how
conservative Mr. Bryan appears
today when compared with the
radicals that have appealed for
a following since. We have made
vast progress toward a really
popular form of government in
our own country since that day,
but it has come by stages, and
is likely TO proceed in that way.

MRS. F. E. RICHARDSON

The friends of Mrs. Fayette Rich
a,rdson were saddened to hear of her
death which occurred Thursday af-
ternoon, Nov. II, at her home in Wat

Mrs. Ethel Simpson, who with her
husband survive her. She also has
two grandchildren, Clarence and Avis
Simpson, and two sisters, Mrs. John
Bishop, and Mrs. c. G. Stebbins of
Nclndoes Falls. Living a simple, re-
firing life, serving her loved ones
with unselfsh devotion, her going has
left great void in the home. Her
charming. manner and kindly DISPOSE
ton made for her many friends whose
love she greatly priced. During her
illness she was very thoughtful for
the loved ones who so tenderly cared
for her, and her suffering was borne
with Christian patience and courage.
The funeral was held at the home,
Thursday afternoon, Rev. George A.
Martin, officiating, and the many
beautiful flowers were silent tributes
Of love. She was laid to rest in Mt.
Pleasant cemetery. Those here to
attend the funeral were Mrs. Eliza
beth Stebbins, Mr.. and Mrs. Guy
Stebbins, John Bishop, Mr.. and Mrs.
Denzil Crane of McIndoes Falls, and
