AHEAD FOR WOMEN
Suffrage Leader Warns
More to Fight
For Yet
BY MILDRED MORRIS
International News Service Staff

WASHINGTON, Aug. 19.-Alice
Paul, hoad of the national women's
party and long a militant suffrage
leader, today sounded a new battle
cry for women.
Women are not yet fully free, Miss
Paul warned, even tho it appears
that victory has been won by the
ratification of the suffrage amend
ment. Whatever new lights women
receive they must fight tor, Miss
Paul said. They can expect rothing
from the politicians she tells them,
until they stand as unit in a party
of their own.
Suffrage was not won by the
Democratic or Republican party, in
the last analysis, but by women
themselves" Miss Paul said in an
interview. To generations Of Amer
ican women who have fought for the
political freedom of their sex belongs
the credit of their victory. 1t was
won by the thousands of women who
sacrificed health and careers, who
suffered physically and even to i'm
prisonment, in the long weary strug-
gle to secure that freedom which
should belong to every one of our
citizens.
"The special energies exerted by
political leaders in the last months
in benalf of ratification were not ex-
erted because they believed that CIV
ing women the ballot was matter
OF simple Justice, but because with
out women had at least become
strong enough to create situation
in which the giving Of suffrage was
politically eXpedient. Women have
finally won their political freedom
because they have become so strong
that it could no longer be withheld
from them. It at last became more
expedient for those in control of the
government to aid suffrage than to
oppose it.
The story of the suffrage is
long story. Women have had to fight
political trickery and corruption
every inch of the way to get some
thing that was theirs by right. The
Democratic and Republican parties
could have given women the ballot
years ago. Political expediency did
not demand it then and leaders of

tending over five years and following
a referendum vote the Atlanta board
of education has adopted a resolu-
tioh ordering bible readings each
morning from $3.50 to $40 in the
public schools of Atlanta, effective
with the opening of the next term Of

by the Junior Order of United Ameri-

MORE SERVICE
BY TELEPHONE
Mountain States Com
pany lnstalls New
Switchboard

People who have had trouble get
ting prompt service when they took
down their receivers will be glad to
know that the trouble has been
remedied by the installation Of three
new sections that enables the Black
foot exchange to have eight opera
tors working at one time instead
of five.
The work of installation has been
in progress night and day for several
weeks, and Just about completed.
Nearly all the lines in the office had
to be disconnected and carried across
to new section or to an old section
at a new location, and this all had
to be done while yet rendering to
the 1919 subscribers at 1919 phones
in and around Blackfoot.
The time for the greatest number
of calls is in the morning just after
breakfast is over. Everybody wants
to use the phone, and for a couple
of hours the telephone force could
not even serve all the calls, saying
nothing of carrying on construction.
Then again in the afternoon, there
is another busy time, and it begins
to taper off. From midnight until
six in the morning Is the time Of
fewest number of calls, and in that
period the construction work was
pushed in the matter of cutting out
and cutting in the lines.
We Were All Peeved
Some new operators on the job
now in addition to the force we have
had, and you will get more prompt
service, especially at the time of the
peak load, which is the early fore
noon and the middle Of the after
noon. If you have tried to get SER
vice and finally hung up your phone
in disgust, don't hold that against
the company nor their operators,
your line was probably being
changed over, or all the plugs on
the section were working and the
operator saw your signal but had
no line left to serve you or even to
speak to you to tell you she was
sorry and unable to serve. Her in
tentions were good, and she was
working with both hands at the mass
of cords and plugs in her section,
serving hundred others just as fast
as she could cut and plug. Your
signal was only one in big flock.
Kicking About the Pay
Ever since the telephone arrived
in Blackfoot, there has been an an
nual low spot in monthly collections
in midsummer, when people had
spent their past years earnings and
had not yet harvested the new crop
Of money. We are in the lowest part
of that low spot now, ana people
who usually pay up promptly have
laid the telephone bill aside for lack
of funds and got called uL by
pleasant voice that explained the
rule-pay by the tenth Of the month
paying in advance for the current
month. Then on the fifteenth, If
payment has not been made, put up
or be cut Oft is the rule, and the
local collector is required to report.
If you are extra good to pay or extra
good-looking or extra fine in several
ways, and yet do not get the money
across by the fifteenth, it puts the
collector IN against a difficult point.
He may let you 60 on using the
phone, he may deliberately forget
you for while, or he may take

WIN SUFFRAGE
BY OWN EFFORTS
Cox Thinks Suffrage
Assures Support
for It

MARION, o., Aug. 19.--"As to
immediate political effects of the
woman suffrage victory, we Repub-
licans may and do feel secure" Sen
ator Harding declared in formal
statement issued by him he-e today
in relation to ratification of the ma
tional woman suffrage amendment
by the Tennessee legislature.
To the women who fought for en-
franchisement of their sex Senator
Harding gave full credit for the final
success of the woman suffrage move
ment.
Senator Harding said:
American women have won their
suffrage fight, which as an organ
lied, continuing movement has COW
cred three quarters of a century.
Their victory is dramatic, because it
comes as the reward of a great final
drive that now has insured to all
American women a full participation
in the most crucial national election
in many years. Yet, important as
are the issues in this political con-
test, we may we'll doubt If history
will recognize any other phase of
it as equal in Importance to the fact
that in this year the women of
America for the first time took their
full part in determining the national
destinies, and maintaining our ma
|tionality.
However, much some Of us may
be pleased with the congratulations
which today assure us that we helped
to bring about this result, the fact
remains that the women won their
own victory. Their long struggle
against many discouragements has
been splendid preparation for the
duties now imposed upon them. They
will be full partners in shaping ma
tional programs and policies. How
ever they may divide politically,
their finer moral sense, their social
instincts, their primary concern for
home and family and health and edu-
cation will be a constant inspiration
to an insistence upon higher and bet
ter aims in our national life.
Whoever will consider the prac-
tical contributions of women to ma
tional advancement especially in the
quarter century since the woman's
club movement became driving
force, must recognize what it means
to enlist, now, the full power Of
womanhood in public affairs. l look
upon the enfranchisement of women
as an accomplishment to be rated
along with our achievement of in
dependence, our preservation of the
union, our emancipation Of the slaves
and or contribution in the world
war to the rescue of civilization it.
SELF
"As to immediate political effects
we Republicans may and do feel
secure. In this campaign we face
issues on which we may be confident
that the voice of womanhood will
pronounce for us. Once more the
real independence of our ration is
involved. A great moral and social
reform recently chieved, is menaced
by the covert purpose Of our oppon-
ents to attack it. Enfranchised
women will make no mistake in
choosing between the Republican
party which has led in every move
ment for social and individual bet
terment, and the Democratic party,
which has notoriously refused to en-
force this enlightened policies in the
south, where It completely domin-
ates. Nor will women forget that
more than four fifths of the ratifying
states are Republican states"

TIE KADDISH.

The KaddisI, which is recited when
death has taken dearly beloved one
f1Om us, is a prayer of glorification OF
God in our hour of bereavement and
a moral duty to honor the memory of
the departed one. This beautiful and
simple prayer is resignation to the
great loss that we have sustained by
the death of dearly beloved one.
The Kaddish is II mark of respect
10 the dead, and not, aa many non-
Jews believe it to be, a prayer for
the repose of the soul of the departed
1t is very seldom that any one will

JEWISH POLITICS IN SIEBEN
BERGEN.


Bucha rest--The Jews of this for
mer Hungarian province. now under

Jewish national minority rights. This
new policy is favorably greeted in a
special article by the local Kron-
sradter Zeitung. II says that Jewish
politics of the past have made many
enemies among the other nationalities
of this province, and have slot even
won the friendship of the Magyars
whom their politics supported. This
newspaper expresses the hope that the
Jews will persist in this national polit-
ical attitude and will not become futile
Rumanian patriots as they were Hum
gdrian until now. Only thus will the
Jews gain the respect and friendship
of the other peoples in the province. (
That the Jews of Sieben Bergen are
earnest in their new demands and
political stand is well brought out by

Committee. located in Clausenburg
