Members of the Northern Kentucky League of Women Voters held their first open meeting at the Covington Chamber of Commerce last night. Two hundred members and guests were present. The speakers were introduced by the President, Mrs.

Helen McCabe Cook, Newport, who stressed the work that could be accomplished by a well-organized, unselfish group of women, interested only in good government and for the sake of civic pride. Mrs. Herbert Schroth, retiring President of the Cincinnati League of Women Voters, spoke on "The League." Mrs. Schroth stressed the national policy of the League, its set-up, its high ideals, and its list of accomplishments. "The League believes its members should study public questions, 1 not only as good citizens, but as women citizens," Mrs.

Schroth said. "There are matters for which women are peculiarly responsible and the organization of women is necessary in order to give these matters the emphasis in government which their importance deserves. "The League gives women a common meeting ground, removed from party bias, an agency In which they can act with other women voters in the interest of measures for which they see the need most clearly. No other organization exists for this particular purpose, no other organization considers the woman purely as a voter and fits her for her task. "The vote to be effective for the common good must be used not only conscientiously but intelligently.

It is the purpose of the league to help the woman citizen acquire the wisdom necessary to use her vote towards constructive social and political ends. "The League Women Voters believes that instruction in duties of citizenship and principles of government will eventually have recognized place in our public education system. Meanwhile, it finds it necessary to continue adult education to enable voters to meet the ever-changing problems of active citizenship. American citizenship suffers from the indifference of public opinion to government. Women can render valuable service by stimulating public opinion and by suggesting improvement of institutions and parties, because women are not yet bound by partisan precedents or political habits." Mrs.

Helen Peters Wallace, who returned recently from a visit in New York for the purpose of addressing the Charter Committee of that city at the request of Samuel Seabury, spoke on "'The City Manager Form of Mrs. Wallace said the greatest factor in the building of the strong charter administration of Cincinnati was the civic pride everywhere rent among the voters. "The first thing to know in the city manager form of government is that it is a government in which the people hold the control," he said. "It a righteous element is in power, good government will result; unrighteous will always bring corruption. The charter form of government will bring equality of participation.

Factions can always criticize and people seem to watch carefully each department and to fix responsibility. "The people are demanding wise handling of finance. They are insisting upon open budget making. The manager must give an accounting to the citizens and the Commission. But the Manager must be left with free hands in the absolute control of the business of the city.

He and he alone must have full control, just as he must be held fully responsible. There must be no meetings behind closed doors, for such meetings will destroy at the root of any Charter administration." WOMAN BRUTALLY BEATEN.
