amendment by the congress the suf-
frage forces turned their attention to
ratification by the necessary two thirds
of the states. More special sessions of
the state legislatures were called to act
upon the 18th than upon any other
amendment.
Wisconsin and Michigan on June 10
were the first states to ratify, quickly
followed on June 16 by New York,
Kansas and Ohio.
Other states ratified in the following
order: Illinois, Pennsylvania, Massa-
chusetts, Texas, Iowa, Missouri, Arkan-
sas. Montana, Nebraska. Minnesota,
New Hampshire, Utah, California
Maine, North Dakota, South Dakota,
Colorado, Rhode Island Kentucky, Ore
gon, Indiana, Wyoming, Nevada, New
Jersey, Idaho. Arizona, New Mexico
Oklahoma, West Virginia, Washington
and Tennessee.
From its beginning in this country,
the suffrage movement met deter
mined opposition from women as well
as from men. The first organized OPP
position on the part of women mani
tested itself in 1873 when a committee
of prominent women presented a petit
ton to congress protesting against the
extension of suffrage TO women Mrs.
w. T. Sherman, headed the committee
of which Catherine Ward Beecher, sis
OF the famous divine, was a member.
Various anti-suffrage societies came
into being subsequently, until the Ma
tional association opposed to woman
suffrage was formed in 1911, with Mrs.
Arthur NJ. Dodge, of New York, as its
first president. This body, step by
step, fought the adoption and ratifica-
ton of the amendment.
Full suffrage is enjoyed today by
the women of 81 foreign countries, in
Guiding the new statds of Czecho-Slo-
valSia and Poland and the ancient ma
tons of England, Germany and the
Scandinavian countries Now that the
women of the United States have won

Mrs. Stanton, Miss Anthony, Dr. An
ma Howard Shaw and Mrs. Carrie
Chapman Gait. the latter of whom is
now its president.
The nineteenth amendment, which
bears her name. was drafted by Miss
Anthony in 1875 and was first intro
duced in congress in 1873 by Senator
A. A. Sargent, of California; and it is
In the same language that the new
principle of the national law reads:
Article -, Section /. The right
Of citizens of the United States to vote
shall not be denied or abridged by the
United States or by any state on ac.
count OF sex.
section 2. Congress. shall have
power by appropriate legislation, to
enforce the provisions OF this article"
The amendment holds the record of
being before the country longer than
any other successful amendment to the
constitution. 1t was introduced as the
10th amendment and has been success
sively the 18th, 18th and 18th and has
been before every session of congress
since its initial appearance.
During the first S5 years after its
introduction into congress the amend.
ment made practically no progress and
until seven years ago it had not been
debated on the floor for 80 years. But
the campaign for the movement was
slowly but steadily gaining ground in
the states.
Meanwhile Miss Anthony made a
test of the right of women to cast the
ballot by going to the polls and vot-
ing. She was arrested and convicted
and, though she refused to pay her
fine, was never jailed. She. became,
however. the forerunner of the mill
tants" who adopted the forceful tao
ties of the latter days of the campaign.
State after state gradually en-
franchised it's women citizens. Begin
ming with wyoming in 1859, by 1919
sixteen states had given women the
right TO vote, and fourteen states had
presidential suffrage previous to raifi-
fication of the amendment.
Militancy in the fight for suffrage
in America made it's appearance with
the formation of the National Woman's
party in 1913. On the eve of Presi-
dent Wilson's inauguration, 5000 wom-
en- led by Alice Paul. now the chairman
Of the party, attempted to march from
the Capitol to the White House. They
were so harassed by a hostile crowd
which overran an unsympathetic po-
lice and the capital of the United
States had its first experience with
suffrage riots
Continuing their demonstrations
over period of seven years members
of the womens party picketed the
White House with banners in their
hands and served terms in jail for the
disturbances of the peace Which grew
out of their parades and blockade Of
the executive mansion. During the
last few months before the adoption of
the amendment the militants fedoublcd
their exertions. Several demonstra-
tions were held of the steps of the
Capitol and on New Years Day, 1919,
watch fires were lighted on front of the
White House in which every speech
made by President Wilson in Europe
on democracy and self government was
burned. The acts. however, were dis
avowed by the National Association.

SCHOOLS TO VOTE
ON CONSOLIDATION
OF Pupils Goes With
Approval-Three Districts
Are Affected.

Graham, Oak Grove and Cromwell
common school districts will vote or
proposition of consolidation, June
the 26th. Should the proposition be
approved it will carry with it clause
that provides for the transportation
of those pupils residing most dis
tant from the school building, those
not within convenient distance.
Should the three districts vote
for the proposition a splendid school
should be the result. A large num-
ber of pupils would be within the
consolidated district, upon which
public money would be drawn. The
school could, and would be so organ
lied that it would virtually amount
to a graded school. Much better re.
suits to the pupils Is always noticeable
when one teacher is not forced to
cover or handle all of the various
branches and grades necessary to be
taught in our common schools. AS a
general proposition, no teacher, who
is especially strong in the primary
department, is as good higher up in
the grades, and the same rule q
plies when reversed. There is no
calling or profession in life where
one may meet with notable success,
except he or she be in love with their
work, and, it is inconceivable. that
any man or woman could like equally
well the first. fifth, eighth or higher
grade work
If general conditions governing the
proposed consolidation of these
three districts appear practicable, the
people affected have an opportunity
to secure for themselves a common
school that ought to prove to be as
good as the best In the country, and
their actions and the results of same
will be watched with interest by the
remainder of the County.
