FRIDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1920 Geen mmm’ LAST EDITION PRICE FIVE CENTS WOMEN URGED 10 BE BIG SISTER TO DELINQUENT Safeguarding Girls and Plans for Their Recue Discussed by Federation BILLBOARDS ARE OPPOSED Friendliness Best Weapon to Use to Teach Americanization Safeguarding girls in the cities and villages of North Dakota was under consideration of the federatiow of ‘North Dakota clubs at the sessions of the last day of the meeting which were resumed this morning at the Presbyterian church. The discussion of juvenile delin- quency came in the report of the de partment ‘on health which was given by Mrs, Ray '‘N. Dickinson of Minot. “Be a big sister of- some girl,” was her admonition to the delegates. Is it easier,” she continued, “to have a tree grow straight, or to straighten out a crooked one?” Her report follows in part: “The second phase of the Pepart- ment’s work, that with Girls, opens up to many possibilities we can only touch upon a few. There are so many avenues — Girls’ Clubs, I. W. C. A. Parent-Teacher Assoctations, Orga ized Class work, the High School, the Florence’ Crittenden Home, the School at Mandan, the Juvenile Court Work. the urging of the appointment of a Police matron in more of our North ‘Dakota towns—every way we turn comes. up the question of safeguard: ing our girls. Surely our C.uo wo men do not fail to do their part in any or all of these avenues, of oppor tunity, | hear you:say. Well, let’s see. Are we ‘seeing to it that the girls all over our state in general are having the right kind of good times. or are we so engaed in our own af fairs that we have fto time for these very important things right in our own little corner?” Are We Self Satisfied “Are we so self satisfied that we think we have done our whole duty} when we have given.a ‘Five Dollar bill to the Florence Crittenden ‘Home’ Would it not ‘have been far better if we had thought a littlé more about some of these girls one year—two years—three years ago, and thrown open our homes to some of them (oh, yes, they come from your little town and mine, as we!l as. other places. in the state) so they could have had a good wholesome time than to forget about them until in some cases, alas, it ig too late? Is it easier to have a tree: grow straight, or to straighten out a crooked one? Girls are just bound to have a good time—it seems an inexorable law of life, and if they can not have the right kind of a time in the right kind of an environment some of them are going to have the wrong kind of a so-called good time.” i Have No Homes And so many of these‘girls have no homes worthy the name—just a place} to eat and sleep, but cannot bring their friends in for a good tim,e and it is by no means confined to just one corner of the earth—the same condi- tions prevail everywhere. Mother too tired or too busy or too something; or other to aow the girls to have a} good time, father too sleepy or too in-; different or ‘too groucy or too forget-| ful of his own youth to tolerate a lit-| tle Wholesome noise, and the girls drift away-to other homes for their fun. Isn't it’ tip“to us''mothers, as Club women, as’ good Americans, as Christians if you please, to throw open our homes to the girls ) just around us, and help to tide ‘them ‘past the formative’ years to the riper years of womanhood’s wisdom? After all it; resolves into a task for the individ- ual Club member—through our Social Service Committees this Department is trying to arouse the sleeping mem- bers, and they in turn say get the message across to others with whom) they come in contact, Wel, what are; we going to do aobut it? Tho Individual Duty Will YOU do YOUR share as an in-| you? Be a big sister to some girl. Many of the Clubs could organize a Cirls's Club on the order of their own with similar constitution and by-laws. parliamentary laws, different methods of procedure, confidence in them-} selves, creates an easy manner in ad-! dressing meetings, is of, educational! value in dozens of ways—and best of} all gives them something to plan for work for and think about besides! some. of the undesirable thing. The/ best way is to combine work and play! —a little social affair along with the program perhaps or alterating with it. Things They Like Best In my own girls Club the things, they like best are the things they do for some one slse—and after all being of service is the BIG thing nowadays} isn’t it?

THE FUTURE | How Women Handle New Status ‘of Vital Importance to State WILL TACTICS IMPROVE? C. L. Young in Address to Clubs Urges Necessity of High Ideals One of the hits of the federation was the speech of welcome delivered by C. L. Young on the opening day. Many requests nave come vo the ,Trib- une for this address and it being pub- lished for the benefit of the federation membership throughout the state. The address follows: “At this zero hour, whén T had mar- shalled my choicest vocabulary for the purpose of taking back, on behalf of all mankind, all the nasty things that man ever has said about woman—of retracting all the slurs and jibes that have been cast upon the gentler and better sex, and for the purpose of say- ing to you that we know you are never “catty’; that we know you are not afraid of mice; and thagve know you can keep a secret, you can imag- ine my consternation uz the remarks of my predecessor on the program. My vocabulary is gone. She has tried, at least, to live up to the reputation of the sex that a secret can not be kept. Aud now it is my duty to. make some kind of speech, because T am not going to make the one she heard about. New Found Status “In considering what should be said here I could not fail to have in mind some thought of woman's new--found status in our world, and in connec- tion with that thought this question flashed into my mind: What are you Federation women anyway? You are first, the impersonation of achieve- ment. I do not say this in idle flat- tery. I lived with a club program for fifteen years. I have known what subj are studied. I have watched the toilsome preparation of papers, the copying of encyclopedias, thé search of history and literature—and T say in all sincerity that while we men have been gr@Veling in the mire of commercialism and confining our eading to the newspapers andgheap magazines, you at least have made an honest effort to keep alive some spark of interest if literature, art, history, and the ‘sciences. In other words you have the responsibilty of fostering the aesthetic side of life. To the extent that you have succeeded you have achieved something wort! while. « ' Stil a Hope “But not only are you the imper'son- ation of achievement 'in the sense | have mentioned. You ‘tite still a hope. I use the word ‘still’ ddvisedly. Only) yesterday in talking with a friend from another state, he said, ‘Do you know, I have begun to think that the women’s vote is not going to change things at all.’ Along with I have heard that in some cases women who have taken the ‘stump’ are resorting to,'the tactics of the ‘ward-heeler.’ They are imitating the old fashioned politician who thought of nothing but votes. They stoop to misrepresenta- tion and deception. They care for nothing but ‘results,’ and are not especially particular about the way they secure them. These are only indications that my friend may be right, but if. your suffrage does not mean a Change jit is a tragedy... 1 am not speaking now of election re- sults as such, but of our citizenship— standards of citizenship. Conception uiirage “Do you realize that the hope I have mentioned depends upon your con- ception of suffrage? Much has been said of it as a natural right, but in contemplation of law it is not, and never has. been that either for} man or womamiyJt is not a natural right in the sense that the right to worship God according to dictate of one’s. own conscience is a natural right, nor in the sense that the right to protection in the home, as one’s castle, a natural right. Suffrage is not granted for the behefit of the individual who exercises the right. It is granted for the benefit of the state—for society at large. The true conception is unselfish. The usual conception is the contrary. Men have heen interested in the machinery of politics, in the externals. They have ° T ——_? »’ MARTINSBURG, W.

It is a privilege. Yea, it is more than that—it is a duty. If you grasp the idea that it is a duty, a sacred one, there will be no doubt About the influence your Federation will exercise in the field of citigen- ship. To be sure there is great con- cern now about how to mark the bal- lots, about the choice of party and candidates, but your primary duty is to study the fundamentals of our gov- ernment, the great principles under- lying our institutions.

Ta Jazzinski's ‘possession was found nearly half a ton of Communist ar ticles, including samples of a new pamphlet ‘advocating armed revolu- tion by foreign elements in this coun- try, One hundred thousand of these pamphlets it was said were shipped out of Chicago yesterday by Jazzinski ia the American Express company They were traced and are being held for the authorities. The agents said documents were found in Holoney's possession whici: gave evidence that he was associated with a radical Russian anarchist group in America. It was said virtually every ‘anarch- istic document ever printed. in the Russian language was found among his effects. Chief among these, they said, was the proclamation of the union of Russian workers, calling up- on all its members to rise and over- ‘throw the government of the Uni States by force of arms, utilizing murder and destruction to gain heir ends. Holoney, it was said, is 34 years old and unmarried. He has a crim- inal record abroad an@ has been un- der surveillance in New York city and Waterbury, Conn., for sometime, au- thorities said. ; The two men were taken last night ina raid upon their quarters in a section of the city populated largely by foreigners. The agents who made the arrests said they were now on the trail of “the mysterious anarchist printshop,” believed to be located here, and which they declared has heen sending out millions of anarch- istic pamphlets. U.S. SEEKING GERMAN CABLES CONTROL REPORT |Problem of Disposition of New York—Emden Lines Very Delicate Washington, Oct. 8.—The United States, it was stated today, was very much interested in the disposition of the German cables to be taken up by the preliminary international com- munications conferences here thi week and admissions have been made by government officials that this gov- ernment would be pleased to get con- trol of the German lines runing from New York to Emden, Problem Vexati The problem of disposition of the German cables is admittedly a vexa- tious.one, and it is hinted that, the Unite: States will propose’ that American interests be permitted to purchase one or more of them. Own- ership of some of the German cables y America or American interests, it held, would greatly assist toward realization of the general objective of the communications conference, the removal of cable restrictions and the monopolistic control now held largely by Great Britain. The representatives of the press and news service will prepare a mem- orandum for the state department in which wil be outlined improvements in the cable situation that woul benefit both the press of this country and that generally of the wlfole wor!a. The state department is interested in both the exportation and importation of news and officials hold that noth- ing would better help to dissipate in- ternational misunderstandings and to promote understanding than the dissi- mating of news. One Vote for Britain Although Great Britain and British interests own or control about 80 per bles of the worla and England is sending the largest dele- gation to the preliminary conference, that country will have only one vote, and aJjl its representatives are not full fiddged delegates but expert ad- visers ‘h of the five great powe to be represented will have one vote. There must be practicaly a unani- mous vote, however to decide ques- tions, especially concerning problems affecting property interests of other nations, although the unanimous rule may not apply in deciding questions affecting the disposition of the Ger- man cables and others which are purely resultant from the war. The States is interested in having established the principle of equal op- portunity in the use of the cables and the uncensored distribution of news throughout the world at fair charges.
