In party government as distinguished

Three new women members are to
join Mrs. Minnie J. Grinstead of
Seward county in the house of repre-
sentatives this winter in an effort to
make Kansas a good pure state in
which to live-and to enforce house
rule Ne. IL against smoking. A quar-
tet of Kansas femininity is to answer
the roll calls and participate in the
arguments on the floor and to snap
their fingers at the pages and dodge
the lobby and shy at publicity-just
like the men are supposed to do. =.
Norton, Pawnee, Seward and Sum-
ner counties will be represented ir
the house this winter by women. 1t is
the second Kansas legislative session
in which women have occupied seats
as members. 1t is the largest repre-
sentation ever secured by the women
of the state and one of the largest
ever secured by the women of any
state in the nation. Activities of the
four women will be an interesting fea-
ture of the session.
Mrs. Grinstead Began in 1919.
When Mrs. Minnie J. Grinstead
came to Topeka in 1919 as the states
first woman law maker, much of the
early interest of the session was CEN
tered in her activities, And Mrs.

of bills was active in debate and on
several occasions ran the house pro-
ceedings as relief speaker. Mrs. Grim
stead's previous experiences on the
platform removed the natural embar-
rassment of public speaking and there
was seldom an oratorical tangle that
Mras, Grinstead wasn't in it,
Mrs. Grinstead is the mother of four
children and the wife of Judge Grim
stead, former county attorney of
Seward county. She just loves her
home and domestic life-so she told
newspaper reporters in Topeka-and
| the thrill of housekeeping never left
| her. But she laid it all aside when the
| legislative session opened and she was
| in her seat almost a record number
of times when the clerks began the
morning roll call Maybe 1t was just
naturally the woman instinct that
caused her to get an early start. May
| be it was womanly curiosity and per-
haps she didn't want to miss anything
that might happen before Rev. John
Bright concluded his morning devo-
tional services.
Now MES. Grinstead is coming back.
