~ gram Of Instruction

The; sessions Of Tie League Of
Women Voters held Yesterday after
noon and evening 4Wete very interest
ing and instructive: III the after
noon mock registration And election
days were held and alli ot the various
circumstances connectsd with an,
actual registration program and cleo
ton day were exhibited. Many anus
ing incidents arose at times when
aliens attempted to register or vote.
The status of alien women in various
cases where they had married Amer
leans or, American women who had
married aliens was brought out at
the election and ) registration laws
were clearly demonstrated.
r Miss Kneubuhl pointed out the first
duties Of women after obtaining their
full suffrage rights and how those
rights should be-. exercised. Miss
Asbury also addressed the meeting
on the duties Of citizenship. ~
In the evening session, held in the
Methodist church, which was presided
over by Miss Mitchell, Judge Stanton
spoke on Glow We Make Our Laws"
and pointed out the various methods
by which our laws are formed, some
coming from the original Constitu-
ton Of the United States, others by
constitutional amendment, some by
congressional and Legislative action
and some by judicial decisions. He
referred in detail to the various con-
stitutional amendments to our ma
tional Constitution and pointed out
how even congress is limited in its
law making activities by the Constitu-
ton. He also pointed; out the neces-
sity of good general knowledge Of
the laws and government of the
country in order to become citizen.
Miss Kneubuhl again. spoke at the
evening session and left rs her key
note thought that politics was crystal
lied community thinking and that
the results Of community thinking
were the representatives. elected to
represent a community int the govern
ment of the country. It was then,
Of the highest Importance, what that
standard of Il community = thinking
should be, and it was important what
the conditions were which produced
that particular: kind of community
thinking evidenced in :: the homes,
villages and cities Of otrs country.
She paid a high compliment to
Minnesota's foremost woman edu-
Gator and leader, the late Maria San
ford, and also to the woman who
perhaps has had more to do with the
obtaining for women; recognition
from the national legislators than
any other woman before, the Amer
lean public, Carrie Chapman Gait.
The Harmonic Glee club rendered
very acceptable selections during the
meeting.

Mr.. Neal advises school boards
everywhere to lose no time IN
strengthening their forces In antici-

Salaries must be raised, and improy-

der to hold as many as possible Of the
teachers now in the service and to at
tract desirable recruits. All this must
be done, not for the benefit OF the
teachers, who are evidently able now
to care for themselves very well in
deed, but for the sake of the children
who are the sufferers when good
teachers leave the service.

WHEN WILL TT BE

Despite the fact that the National Repub-
lean Convention both convenes and adj
iourns next week, yet it is all but i'm
possible to fore "ast at this time the party
nominee for president. At long range it
appears that johnson has the best Of the
foht with Wood close second and Low
den holding third position. The first clash
of course will be between johnson and
Wood with neither winning on first ballot.
1t is believed by all old time conventioners
that both johnson and Wood will lose on
the second and that Lowden will gain from
both of them. If, however, Lowden is
not nominated on the third ballot then his
chance of winning will go glimmering. The
fourth ballot will bring to the rim Of the
horizon the dark horse that will eventually
sweep the convention, that dark horse
however may be johnson, who had faded
away, but gathered strength in seclusion
and returned with renewed vigor. If such
a thing however should happen johnson
would undoubtedly win the nomination on
the sixth or seventh ballot. While Wood
will enter the ring by odds the strongest
contestant, yet his chances OF winning are
very remote. as delegations will hesitate
to changing to Wood lest they be charged
with having been bought by the bags OF
money backing him, and party leaders all
over the country are Of the opinion that
should he be nominated that even Woodrow
Wilson could beat him to say nothing OF
Bryan or McAdoo. 1t is plain to be seen
that Wood is the candidate Of the trusts,
Wall Street and Lord George Of England
and if nominated he would be an easy
victim for the Democrats to beat. Harding
of Ohio would probably make winning
dark horse candidate. There seems to be
little or no sentiment for Poindexter Of
Washington, but in case Of a mighty mixup
the machinery might turn turtle and Pom
dexter rise phoeniX-like out Of the debris.
