women of 1887, who would never
imperil their angelhood at the polls
had given way in Senator Reeds
Missouri mind to the too practica
politicians. He cried:
"How thrilling it was yesterday
when the Senator from Indiana (Mr
Watson, chairman of the Suffrage
Committee), standing at his full
height and speaking in a round, rich
tone, said as he waved his finger in the
air in true dramatic style, 1 shall in
sist that the Senate remain in session
tomorrow until this great measure
has been passed.
Did he see the women flocking to
the polls in Indiana and demanding
ballots for Watson for anything he
wished? But I warn him that the
women of Indiana if they come to vote
will have other fish to fry and other
attachments to follow and other ques-
tions to determine. The glorious
vision of yesterday will have departed
from their recollection. The inspiring
scene Will be lost in the limbo of time.
the days Of forgetfulness will have
cornered the great event and in the
silence of the grave it will be lost with
many other celebrated and wonderful
events.
You Democrats who talked about
initiative and referendum, who went
up and down your states declaring it
was the Godgiven right OF the Ameri-
can citizen to cast a vote on everv
question; who insisted that legisla
lures acted so improyidently and SO
thoughtlessly that it was not safe to
trust them with the final enactment
Of law; who declared that in everv
instance the people of a state should
nave the right to demand a reference
TO them of every act passed by the
Leglslature-we ask you for a referen-
dun on this constitutional question
and you propose to sit here with your
speeches IN favor of referendum votes
IN one hand and your denial of this
referendum vote in the other.
"Why not let the voters in the
states have a vote on it? Texas has
just voted. My state voted three years
ago. am willing to have vote to-
morrow, and if the people of the state of
Missouri vote for woman suffrage it
IS all right with me. I do not think I
would lift my voice about it.
I'VE ask for a referendum vote. I
keep on repeating to you referendum
men who insist that the people have
right to referendum vote on every
thing: What are you going to saw
when we ask for a mere referendum

Meeting Tuesday

A meeting for the forming of a
Horticulture or Floral Society for the
identifying the city will be held at
the Library Hall Tuesday evening at
8 o'clock.
1t is quite important that any citi-
zen who cares anything about the
appearance of his home town should
attend this meeting. Representatives
from the various women's clubs of
the city as well as representatives for
the schools are expected at this meet
ing.
Tree and shrubs will be supplied
to the people at cost and efforts will
be made to have someone show the
people how to plant them properly.
In order to procure these and plant
them on time the matter must be at
tended to at this meeting.
Let's show outsiders that we can
take little pride in the city by get
ting behind this movement and CIV

IL is not fair to consider today's
prices with those Of the days when
business men were failing because of
the general unrest throughout the
country which resulted in cut-throat
competition, low wages and of course
low cost of materials.
The cost Of delay in proceeding
with road building programs is in
my estimation more serious than the
increased cost of constructions
One of the main. arguments for
the s2OO,O00,000 increase in the fed
eral aid was that. it would encourage
the states to go ahead Immediately
with their road building programs by
assisting them in meeting the higher
cost of construction, and to accom-
plish that, the original federal aid
law was amended by increasing from
$4,000 to $4,000 the cost per mile
for federal aid participation.
It is not fair to consider today's
More than any other nation on

prices providing we keep right on
doing business.

Real War Tank
Coming to Williston

Next Tuesday, April 9Th. the peo-
pie Of Williston will have the chance
Of seeing real United States War
tank named by picked tank crew.
This tank is being shipped here by
the Government in the interests Of
the Victory Loan which is to be
launched in this country this month.
Several of these tanks have been al
loted to the Ninth District and VIII
liston is very fortunate in securing
one of them.
Chairman Rieger will have charge
of the Victory Loan in this county
and is making preparation and Sc
lecting his committees to work with
him. The loan will probably be the,
largest one that has ever been float
ed inthis country and will be the asst
One.
The rate of interest and the amount
of the loan will not be announced tiu>
few days before the drive.
Just how long the war tank will
remain in the city has not been learn
ed but it is hoped that it will be here
long enough so that all the people in.
this territory may see it.

disconnected systems, SO that COM

We were five years reaching the

we want to go back entirely even if
it were possible.
When you consider that at least
IS per cent of the cost of road con-
struction, from the raw materials to
the finished road, is labor, l do not
see where we can expect much reduc~
tion in road building so long as the
wages and the cost Of living remain
where they are. You can have roads
at lower cost, but not without dis
turbing labor conditions.

SCHOOLS TO PRESENT
4 FINE ART EXHIBIT
EFFORT UNDERTAKEN FOR PUR.
POSE OF RAISING FUNDS TO
PURCHASE PICTURES

During the week of April 21st there
will be on display at the High School
Auditorium an exhibition of pictures
of more than ordinary interest. 1t
consists of carbon photographs, pho
togravures, prints in full color, ETC.,
loaned by Elson Art Publication Co.,
Inc, of Belmont, Mass, and contains
only the very best representations of
the masterpieces of art of different
countries and different periods.
The exhibit is to be presented in
this city for the purpose of increas-
ing the interest in the study of art
for the purpose of raising money for
the purchase of pictures for the pub
lie schools. A small admission fee
will be charged, and the public is cor
daily invited to visit the exhibition.
Nearly every art gallery in the world
would have to be visited in order to
see the originals Of these pictures,
which, although copies, are some Of
the very best in existence.
The collection which will be on dis
play here comprises some two hun
dred subjects representing all of the
principal schools of art, as we'll as
reproductions of the worlds greatest
pieces of sculpture, architecture and
important views from nature.
The schools and citizens of Willis
ton are to be congratulated upon hav-
ing the opportunity of seeing this ex-
cellent collection.

Representing the business inter-
ests of the country in highway de-
velopment, our study of this subject
has been from the standpoint OF IN
dustry, and by industry l mean COM
mercial agriculture and labor.
While I am in sympathy with the
idea of turning to road building as
''buffer" employment for labor, road
building has far greater CLAIM: up
on labor than from the "butter"
viewpoint.
For more than two years highway
construction of the United States was
at a standstill. Highway officials
were also prevented from properly
maintaining their roads already con-
structed, with the result that many
Of your States suffered heavy losses
in highway investment.
Every element Of loyal citizenship
recognized the necessity of cooper
alton for the one important task
ahead of it, but we have won the
war.
The experiences Of the army oper-
rating trucks in all parts of the Uni
ted States woke the people to both
the advantages of highway transpor-
tation and the handicap surrounding
it due to lack of properly construct
ed highways.
It also brought a realization that
our highways should no longer be

coaches. At two o'clock in the az

the city with sample of their very
fine music on the corner near the
Great Northern Hotel.
The concert in the evening started

seat in the house being taken.
A varied selection of pieces were

President, Highway Industries
Association

Written Specially for the Graphic
The Highway Industries of the Uni
ted States believe that it is their
patriotic duty, rather than a selfish
privilege, to urge the development of
highways in the interest of and as
essential to the nations life. The
Highway Industries Association also
represents the employment of more
than one million wage earners; and,
therefore, is also interested in the
welfare and success of labor.
Associated with the Highway In
dustries Association are more than
600 chambers of commerce, boards of
trade, national and state trade or
ganizations, rotary clubs, travelling
mems associations, and state oranges.
These organizations are also urging
not only a "go-ahead" program in
highway construction, but since the
middle of December they have pass
ed resolutions in their different or
ganizations to that effect.
