Mrs. Henrietta Briggs-Wall who at
one time visited Kansas and Topeka in
the interests of woman suffrage has
propounded a patriotic plan for the
development of free people, with the
purpose of aiding the problems
brought about by the immigration of
new people to this country.
Mrs. Lila Day Monroe. president of
the Kansas Women Lawyers associa-
ton, has received from Mrs. Briggs
Wall a clipping which was published
in Hartford Comm paper in which
are printed letters from the governors
of several states, Governor Allen, Gov
erner Cornwell of West Virginia, Sen
ator Capper and many others approx
ing of the plan.
The New Patriot Plan" is designed
to publicly celebrate the civic birth
day of the newly enfranchised and the
newly naturalized on July Fourth.
Mrs. Briggs-Wall argues that in the
family the birthday of the child is
celebrated SO why in the nation
should not the civic birthday be
celebrated of those who have reached
the age of twenty-one and those who
have become newly naturalized. The
originator of the plan says: an other
countries much ado is made over the
crowning of kings and queens who at
tempt to rule over others: there is
ein
joicing when newly enfranchised citi-
zens attain to their share in the hon
ors and duties of self-government."
