Women Should Awaken to Their
Duties as Voters.

Somehow American women have
been a bit slow to awaken to the fact
that they are very important factor
in the preservation for the benefit of
mankind Of the first successful dem
ocratic republic in history. Our gov
eminent has become an example to
the peoples Of the world who seek
liberty under an orderly and well-bal-
anced form Of government. But If
American women accept the ballot
and the duties and privileges of citi-
zenship and then fail to vote when
elections come, they are one of the
forces that are threatening govern
ment Of the people, for the people and
by the people" Not long ago Bri-
fish newspaper published the small
percentage of voters that have gone
to the polls in the United States at
recent elections. The comment on
that small percentage was pessimistic
with conclusion of what's the use
Of letting the people govern when the
people are too Indifferent to go to the
polls and cast their votes?"
Some statesmen argue that the
American women are timid about pol
itics and that it is timidity that keeps
them from the polls. Charles Edward
Russell claims that in this country
of great democracy access to the suf-
frage makes women timid, while in
England, with less democracy, women
are aggressive and confident in their
use of the suffrage, taking far more
active interest in political campaigns
than American women.
Carrie Chapman Gait has excused
women for their aversion to politics
by saying that they refused to wade

by Capt. J. H. Wallace. inspecting Of
f1cer. following the Federal inspection
held in the armory last Friday eve-
ming.
Close to fifty members were present
for the inspection, large attendance
considering the bad snow storm Fri
day. The battery made an excellent
appearance and went through the
schedule with snap and precision
that made hit with the inspector.
Mounted maneuvers> were also given
by the drivers at the fair grounds in
the afternoon.
In short talk to the battery men,
bers, at the close of the inspection,
Capt. Wallace told the men they had
a battery to be proud of and made as
fine showing, and better than most
batteries that he had inspected in the
state. He especially complimented
the drivers for turning out in the
snow storm in the afternoon.
Capt. Wallace is the regular army
instructor at Brookings, s. D. He has
a pleasant personality that put the
battery members at their ease with
the feeling that he wasn't there tc
ask them any catch questions, but was
there to find out what they knew about
their work in the battery, and he GOV.
cred the ground thoroughly.
Capt. Wallace was accompanied by
Capt. Daugherty Of Duluth, instructor
of the 125th Field Artillery.
