That. DR., Lovejoy said, tells only
part of the story of the things that
must be given attention in this war
There is to be an unending strife
after this war, for generations. The

George Simmons Talks.
Speaking to the duty before the
people at this time, George w. Sim
mons said in part:
''The woman who prefers bridge TO
Red Cross and the man whose income
tax is so large he cannot buy Lib
erty bonds, are useless and undesir-
able members of society. ] believe
we should have one great, all en-
bracing organization through which
all forms of war relief work should
function. The American Red Cross is
the logical channel. If it is not big
and broad enough to include all the
others, it should be made so or give
way to a greater society that can do
so. l realize that 1t is difficult for
body of earnest women, who have
done minagifcent work for years, to
surrender their own identity in order
that they may add their concerted
strength to the National Red Cross,
as for instance the National Surgical
Dressings Committee have done; but
those who are big enough to do such
a thing are the greater patriots as
their sacrifice is personally greater
But the woman who will continue TO
run her own pet club or church So
ciety, in war relief work, just be-
cause she can be the head Of that

greater net results toward winning

meaning Of the word patriotism.
There is more than enough for
everyone to do. We can't all he gen

can all our sons he generals in France
The private in the ranks is as nee
essary patriot even though the per-
sonal glory be less. 1t takes a real
oig, true genuine American to make
such sacrifice, but the service is
the greater as the efficiency of the

shorten the war.

The Election Results.
The anti suffragette sentiment
which the Chicago and Illinois dele
cations tried to make a factor in this
biennial, failed to have an effect
other than the report of the tellers
of the election when it was shown
that the only suffragette on the
roster of candidates for office, Miss
Georgia Bacon, of Massachusetts. had
been scratched by some of the dele
cations.
Mrs. Josiah Evans Cowles, of Cali
fornia, without opposition, was chosen
president and given an ovation when
the result of the ballot was an
nounced.
Miss Georgia v Bacon of tMassa
chusetts. without opposition, received
4S3 of the $40 votes cast, a sufficient
number to have elected her easily
over opposition. There were 81 votes
cast for Miss Mary Garrett Hay of
New York for this place, though the
latter was not a candidate,
The race for recording secretary
proved an interesting one, Mrs. Adam
Weiss of Colorado, being the winner
with 347 votes as against 314 votes
cast for Mrs. r. Fl, Lacey of Ken

The race for corresponding secre-
tary furnished the closest contention
