"why?" one asks OF this quiet.
motherly yet businesshke woman.
whose life has been spent largely in
a country where life was ''roughin'
it."
why? Women must assume
the duty OF, citizenship on a par
with men. I am a member of the
Republican party and l desire to
stand for reelection next fall as a
Republican Representative who
hopes she has done her assigned
work we'll"
will she seek" re-election? No.
why? The office should seek
tho women"
Asks No Privileges.
Does she, as a matter of pride
in sex. urge women to enter the
coming campaign? No.
'why should a woman be given
an office simply because she Is a
woman? Some people may think
so. but that makes me very angry.
II women are going to be mere
petticoats and\ have everything
served them on a silver platter
they are not doing their duty as
citizens. No privileges are shown
me here. 1 make sure OF that
Women are voting citizens now,
They must assume the duties OF
citizenship equally"
Has Miss Robertson become cynical
Of politics after association with pro-
fessional politicians in Washington?
Urges Ward Activity.
1T has been q great pleasure to
find in my associations with the Rep
resentatives OF the people in the House
that so large a number are actuated
by high motives"
From her experiences here does
she think that women should let pol
itics alone?
Every man and woman" Miss Rob-
ertson answers. has his or her duty to
perform as a citizen. And the citizen
should make himself felt in the po-
litical movement from the very be-
ginning. The beginning Is the pre-
cinct meeting. where the individuality
OF every citizen counts. 1t is here
that the political stream starts-the
neighborhood If women are going
to stand apart from the political
unit. the neighborhood; II they are
going to stand aloof from the be-
ginnings: il they thus fail to do their
duty IS citizens. they have no right
to criticise."
Is Miss Robertson going to join
the so-called agricultural bloc move
ment, and. as a member thereof, lay
her main claim to reelection?
'I desire to stand for reelection
as a Republican" is the answer.
while / expect to work with the
agricultural blocz hram not almem-
Der of IT. feel encouraged that
the farmer is having a better oppor-
tunity than ever before. but I am
not interested in the farmer alone,
even though I am a representative
OF an agricultural State. Anyone
who does ones duty as a legislator
must see beyond the four walls OF
home"
What is Miss Robertson's main po-
litical concernI
THE thing that frightens me most
in meeting the duties which come
to me is a tendency to carry Iegis-
lation beyond a point of sane con-
servatism."

Collins Plans to Form
Provisional Government

DUBLIN, Jan. S.-Although the
Anglo-Irish peace treaty was ap-
proved by only seven votes in Dali
Eireann. there is not the slightesr
doubt that IL has been ratified by
practically the unanimous opinion
Of the people Of Ireland. This point
was made clear during the debate
by the ratifiers and was not denied
by the antis. who frankly admitted
they were voting against the ex-
pressed wish of their constituents.
At De Valera's meeting with his
supporters at Mansion House to dis
cuss their plans it is understood
there were differences of opinion as
to practical methods. The meeting
was unanimous to maintain the re-
public. but there is a strong section
which advocates merely asserting
its existence, but taking no active
steps TO run a government in op-
position to the Free state.

A, $4,000 appropriation in the

held by National Guard units In two

Force, so organized, will give train
ing to 10000 men and 5000 officers
who will be ready at all times TO be
used In emergency combat service.
The Regular Navy Of $4,000 men
will be far below the strength OF
recent years. but the officer person
mel will be, maintained. above the 4
per cent ratio to be used as the
nucleus Of a greater and swiftly ex

the new navy rolls there will be I,43l

The naval reserve, Il was said.
