. Mrs. Breckenridge was prominent
in club, educational, temperance,
suffrage and civic work in Kentucky
and the nation, and her ability and
marvellous energy enabled her to
take an active part in many move
ments for the betterment of condi-
tons in her community and state.
She was president Of the Ken
lucky Equal Rights Association
from 1912 to 1915; vice president of
the Kentucky State tuberculosis
Commission from 1913 to 1917, and
vice president of the National Equal
Suffrage Association, 1913-1914.
During the past summer she went
TO Geneva, Switzerland, as one Of
the delegates to the International
Suffrage Conference from the
United States, and upon her return
took an active part in the National
political campaign, speaking in Mis-
sour, Kansas and other states for
the Democratic presidential ticket.
Two of her most notable achieve
meDts in Lexington, her home city,
have been the founding of Lincoln
Model School and the establishment
of the Bluegrass tuberculosis. Sana-
forum, Which was largely the result
Of her energetic and enthusiastic ef-
forts.

General John J. Pershing, we're glad to welcome you to Phoenix and we hope you'll like your stay. We are proud to call you Brother, and we con graduate the Eiks of our sister city to the eastward who saw you "throush."
 Phoenix, though little used to the visits of generals, ereets you without embarrassment suited pomp-the welcome, General, comes from the hearts of her citizens, filled with grati- tude for the achievements of the mag nificent army you commanded. Tenn pestuous welcomes were accorded you cities of the United States. Ours, General, is deep seated and fervent, as those.
 Many of the brothers within our lodge were with you in France. Some of them will never return. They sleep along the Ourcq, the Aisne and the Mouse, whose waters babbIe perpetual lullaby, and we who remain think of them daily, and revere them, accord ing to our vow. Those of our number who were there and who have re- turned, no matter what ornaments qraced their olive drab, will stand just a little more erect than the rest of the throng when you pass them today, General. hey were there! They know.
 Our mothers, our sisters, our daush- ters and our sWeethearts are pleased to have you in Phoenix, too, General! The sacrifices they made were greater than we know, but we feel that you will understand. Without foolish hero worship, but with dignity, loyalty and reverence, they delight in your pres ence, and will do all things to honor you.
 Welcome, John J. Pershing, General!
 Welcome, Brother!

had refused to compromise on the
peace treaty, it was time for the
voice OF the people to be heard add
ing that the resolution "presumes to
express their voice."
Representative Clark declared that
the time given the resolution was "a
palpable misnomer:" that the meas
ure would bring confusion twice con-
founded and that it would lead to ''all
sorts of International quagmires."
Congress has neither mandate nor
authority to do the thing now at
tempted he declared. Its a futile
performance, a work of superegotation
full of sound and fury, signifying moth
ing-except a desperate effort and as
I believe an unavailing effort not to
make peace but to make some politi-
cal capitaP-apt to act as a boone
rang.
1T may be well doubted whether the
proponents of this resolution believe ii
will ever reach the statute books. In
this debate they have intimated that
the presiden will veto it. He can do
nohir1g less consistent with his oath
to support and defend the constitution
and with an honest and patriotic re-
gard for the duties of the high office
which he holds"
