New Strength Given
Government by Vote
of Women, Says Judge

Speaking to the convention of the
League of Women Voters at Eiks hall
Saturday night, Judge +. X. Cheadle OF
Lewistown declared that in the votes of
women the government has the right to
expect tremendous source of strength
during the period which the government
is now living. 1t is a perilous period,
Judge Cheadle told his audience, the
most perilous the United States has ever
known but he expressed a great conf
dence that the forces of righteousness
would prevail and asserted the belief
that vital factor in the victory would
be the support acquired through the ex-
tension of the franchise to women.
THE backwash of the war has left us
in a perilous position" said the speaker
''but we are not afraid. We Will not go
down to defeat IL we are strong enough,
and the governmen: has the right TO ex-
pect the women TO give it strength.
Government Is People.
Judge Cheadle said that the women
would help in destroying the tendency or
the people to turn to the government for
relief The government can give no re-
lief. he said, for the government Is the
people. 1t cannot support anyone IL
idleness. Rome was destroyed, he con-
tinued, because the people were Wiling
to become benificiaries Of the govern
ment.
The speaker declared that laws can
NOT be made to order. 1t would be as
easy to make an oak tree to order, he
said. He asserted that laws are an or
ganic growth, many of those now in ex.
istence dating back for centuries and
showing only the progress of the human
race in their present form
Law Must Grow.
This, said the speaker, proved that
common law is nothing more than the
customs and habits Of the people. Law
cannot be created, it must grow. must
hear resemblance to the people and
eventually become representative Of
their daily life. The prohibition amend
ment, he said, was the result OF a pc
lief that has grown with the people toI
over q century.
"Any law that is vital must be basec
on the belief of the people" he declar,
ed, 'and ! believe that the influence o.
women win be a mighty force making
for stabalzation."

HAS OWN PLATFORM .
AND ASKS HELP OF
BOTH BIG PARTIES
Women Voters League Doesn't
Want to Dominate Factions
Says Mrs. Blair.

There is no disposition on the part of
the League of Women Voters to domi-
nate any political party nor does it seek
to dictate what either party will ln-
corporate in its platform, according to
Mrs. Emily Newell Blair, of Joplin, Mo-.
chairman of the publicity bureau of the
league, who spoke before the convention
here, explaining the aims and purposes
of the league to the delegates. She in
sisted that the whole aim and purpose of
the league is constructive, educational
and intended to promote the welfare of
community and national life rather than
to advance the cause of any political
party.
The league has its own platform OF
principles, Mrs. Blair told the conven-
ton. 1t hsa asked the major political
parties for favorable consideration only
for a few definite objectives selected
from its cardinal doctrines. The matter
of indorsing or rejecting them rests with
the party. They are taken to the resolu-
ton committee of the parties with the
statement from the league about like
this: I'VE believe you want to know
what the women want and we come tc
tell you.
Too Much for Publicity.
Mrs. Blair SAID tnat most or tht
trouble about platforms of political par
ties had come from the fact that they
were framed as publicity propaganda fol
party success rather than promissory
notes of party performance and she
said one of the things possible for the
league would be to impress on party
leaders the imperative need of making
the platforms promissory notes anC
then the scrupulous policy of redeemini
the note. I'VE want to take welfare pro
blems out of politics. said the speaker.

Future Greatness
of Nation Is With
Women, Says Speaker

Mrs. Maude Wood Park, president of
the League of Women Voters, outlined
the purposes of that organization to an
audience at Elks' hall Saturday evening
and eloquently described the progress
that is expected to result from its partl.
cipation in public affairs. Presence OF
women as voting citizens Will not m
crease social unrest, Mrs. Park said,
hut will be a means of restoring and
making even more permanent the things
70 which the nation looks for its future
greatness She said it is intended that
the league shall be a medium through
which the present and future generations
shall be benefited.
~ Million Women Voters.
In touching upon the number OF vot-
oru affected by the extension OF suf-
frape TO women Mrs. Park said that at
the last presidential election there were
1000 600 women who had been entran-
chised, but that the number Is now L.
100000. When national suffrage pc
comes operative 24,00O,OO0 more women
votes will be added A great object OF
the league is to inform these women on
nublic questions, said Mrs. Park.
In the schools of good citizenship es-
tahlishsd by the league. benefit had re-
suited mot only to women but to men,
The sneaker continued Many men were
surprised to learn that they did not know
ali that there was to know about PUBIC
matters when they became familiar with
these schools. An important service
rendered by women voters is that they
revive interest in governmental affairs'
she said.
Inject Human Issues.
Questions concerning women and
children differ greatly in the several
states, she told the audience, and the
league will work for the desired ADJUST
ment. Women are valuble to the gov
ernment because they inject human is
sues into public matters, and through
the study of practical government they
intend to make their presence known in

Women in Politics
May Keep Husbands
at Home Evenings

Women who declare they don't want
70 vote are out Of step with the
prouress of tho times. When they
complain Of dirty politics they are
sIdesteppIng a duty to get into the
name and help make politics cleaner.
Getting into politics may be lust the
thing that some women need to keep
their husbands at home evenings.
These statements featured the ad-
dress of Mrs. Emma A. ingalls,, rep
resentative from Flathead county In
the Montana legislature, before the
convention Of the League Of Women
Voters.
mrs. ingalls, spoke upon "Ihe Civic
Duty of Women. She talked very
plainly to the point. She said that
some have asserted politics cause
women to neglect their children. This
she denied but she added that IT
probably might affect the woman's
attendance at the bridge club be-
cause she would find the problems
of politics so much more interesting
than bridge that she would choose the
more attractive.

OFFICERS
ARE AN URGENT NEED
WOMEN VOTERS TOLD
Judge J. A. Mathews Urges Fair
Sex to Take Greater Inter-
est in Politics.

when it becomes apparent that pub
lie officials are trying to convert the
public corporation of which they are the
elected servants to-their personal use
and their private gain, turn them out"
was the advice given to the delegates
and visitors attending the regional con-
vention of the League of Women Voters
by Associate Justice ]. A. Matthews of
the Montana supreme court, addressing
the gathering upon What Women
Should Know About County Govern
ment".
Judge Matthews urged the women to
remember that they have personal res
possibility in the selection of their coun-
ty officers and that poor and inefficient
government, while charged directly to
the officer himself, reflects back upon
the people who elected him.
Wide Field for Service.
The judge asserted that there is a
wide range for service by the women
in the field of county offices and
enumerated those which he declared
women could fill as aacceptably as men
There were some. be said, such as
county surveyor, the physical demands
of which he believed made it imperative
that they be filled by men, but asserted
that they were few.
He urged the women to take an in
terest in politics and said that in the
past there had been too much evidence
on the part of the public to 'let the
politicians run the government. an
attitude which he deplored, because, he
said, it did not make for good govern
ment.
Need Good Officials.
Remarking that the privilege of hold
ing office is one which has come to the
ladies coincident with their right TO vote,
he urged upon them the necessity of
selecting good officials to conduct the
affairs Of county if those things which
result in higher taxes and other means
of depressing property values and harm
ing a community are to be avoided.

The repeating resolution would not end

II merely substitutes the date Of its en-

urged the Republicans last session TO

URGES SHIP BOARD

Martin j. Gillen Sends His
Recommendations to the
Walsh Committee.

The constructive suggestions which the
Walsh committee asked Martin ]. Gillen
to compile after he had testified con-
corning waste and extravaganza in the
administration OF the United States Ship
ping Board. were sent to the committee
In Washington yesterday. Mr. Gillen,
who was q special executive assistant 70
the chairman of the Shipping Board
during the administration OF John Bar
ton Payne, and for time under Ad-
niral William 6. Benson. discusses the
REORGANIZATION Of the Board and OF the
Emergency Fleet Corporation. and
makes a number IF recommendations for
the conduct OF each.
Mr.. Gillen recommends that the Emer-
gency Fleet Corporation, with all of its
activities. should be completely elimi-
mated from any connection with the
Shipping Board. The board, he says,
has ultimately TO do with matters of
commerce and welfare of the nation,
while tho fleet corporation is funda-
mentally a liquidating affair involving
Government finance and appropriation.
There are no practical difficulties, y
says NIr. Gillen, attendant upon the
separation Of these two bodies--each
has to-day a separate organization as TO

tinct and separate, one from the other,
