INTERESTING ADDRESS
ON POLITICAL MATTERS
BY new YORK WOMAN

Il DelleVe that the Ten Command
mentS, the principles of Jeffersonian
democracy and the Lords PRAYER
together can bring in the Millennium. -
said Mrs. Halsey Wilson of New
York in her public lecture on New
Problems and Old Principles" given
at MacCabees hail Friday evening.
She spoke of some of the principles
of Jefferson, showing how they
formed the cornerstone of democ-
racy and how it was the great SER
vice of the Democratic party to
square the policies arising from new
principles.
Mrs. Wilson said that Democracy
has been concerned with giving every
human being an opportunity to eX-
press their will in every social ac-
ton. but that after the institutions
such as popular election OF L. S.
senators. direct primary and other
Democratic reforms had been served.
the responsibilities of parties has
ceased, and that it was at this point
that real safeguarding of the party
should legin.
She also mentioned the fact that
women had had suffrage for the past
two years and that it had taken men
that entire time to get over the
mctaphorical idea Of women. as the
statue of Liberty. justice, angels, ma
donnas. She said that there may be
poetry in all this, but that there is no
defense of human right in 1t. The
time has now come when the women
are learning the simple lessons OF
service and usefulness to their party.
They are not awed by the complex
ties of politics as are tie men ana
they are prepared to shoulder half OF
the responsibility willingly and IN
telligently, because they are becom-
ing apt students of politics.
The necessity OF leadership In
politics today in place of bosslsm was
then taken up and in this respect
Mrs. Wilson said that there was COM
ing a type of leader that would com
bine, initiative. personal authority
courage. magnetism. inSplratlonal
appeal and has sway over ire
popular imagination. He must be
one who can arouse popular follow
ing with a progressive platform ana
ca nreach an understanding with
troublesome groups. she brought
ont the fact that one wOh wanted 70
give to politics, wants ieaoer'
while one who simply seeks TO get
something out of politics, wants a
boss.
The speaker closed with an appeal
for real Democratic leadership IN the
state of Maine, both among men ana
women.
There we're about 70 present at the
talk. a number of men being noted IN
the audience and all were very en-
tbusiastic over the ideas which Mrs
Wilson expressed.

years old: that Johnson had conduct
ed himself improperly with her last

The practices of thrift, the. sys-
tematic saving of money, the slow
but steady upbuilding through
habits of prudence may not seem
as alluring as the prospect Of
riches gained through a lucky
stroke at the gamblers table, but
those more prosaic methods are
the only ones that can be relied
upon.
While one may have temporary
good-luck and at times may seem
to have discovered the secrets of
acquiring wealth without the usual
orderly processes, it is very sell
dom that lasting success results
in such instances.
The practices of thrift may not
yield immediate returns. To the
impatient or ambitious person the
careful saving of money, penny
by penny or dollar by dollar may
seem too slow process for ac-
curing financial success. But it
has been shown by the great book
Of human experience that in the
long run these systematic proc
esses of upbuilding are the only
ones worth considering. The real
successes that have come through
any other methods Of progress are
so exceedingly rare as to be I'M
worthy of consideration in the
plans Of any well-meaning person..
