I I 5 1 Baltimore Woman Pleads With Kansas Women to Aid Southern Sisters in Battle for Suffrage. Clear, concise, convincing, the address at the Progressive meeting in F. A. U. Hall, Saturday evening made direct appeal to the many voters present.

Mrs. Agnes Kiddle, the famous Colorado legislator demanded of the women of Kansas, and the voters generally to vote for their progressive candidates, that they might put men in the federal legislative bodies, free and untrammelled by any party ties, who would fight for nation wide enfranchisement of women, and the protection of laboring children. Child labor she recognized as the most important problem facing the nation today. Even though it menat the temporary crippling of certain industries, she felt it would be justified to enact more stringent laws governing the labor of children in factories. The legislators were not placed in the administrative houses to enact laws for bib business men, but for the advancement of human ity in general.

INDEPENDENT VOTER NEEDED Tne trouble is, there are men there now who never could vole." she stated. "When a division is asked they go out and climb a tree, and come in after the vote is taken." What is needed is good Christian men in the legislative bodies. Tlie independent voter who uses his con science, not the party voter who smothers it, will bring about the condition for which we all long. need praying men in our leg islative bodies. Do you suiiose a Christian man could co clown to Washinglon, and not make a stand for the little children who are beitur starved mentally and -plrysically in our factories that a few may benefit 1 realize men do not wish women eo vote.

They say we do not go to battle. Go to the scenes of the creat European conflicts. Who are the he roes? Who are the chief sufferers? Not the man, who is killed and buried, but the woman who stays at home, bringing up the children. Slit-is battling every hour for every good influence in the world, and dying a cruel death every day." Mrs. Iatimer, of Baltimore, told of the efforts made by the women of the south to ameliorate the conditions of the children working in the tomato and oyster canneries and the cotton mills, declaring that the Democratic party funds received a lead tax of 50 cents for each child under 14 who was brought into Mary- and tor work in the canneries, and 25 cents for every child over 11.

"Any man who goes to Congress from a suff rage state, and considers the question for two years, yet does not know what his consttuents want has no right in Congress," she declared.
