inasmuch Ci h h's as s it had it'd been his experience that legislatures generally preferred to do the addressIng address- address lag Ing themselves It is also an unusual occurrence for tor anyone ln ono to address a legislature of ot this I sort from two points of ot view said heIn heIn he I In the tho first place It Is a n new lien thing for tor me to address a general assembly In which women hold seats for in Missour Missouri Mis Mis- Ils- Ils I sour we do not havo womans woman's suf suf- frage Crage I suppose it must be because the tho women dont don't want ant tho the vote for It has been my mj experience that the tho themen women wo men nen always get what they want anwa anyway anyway any any- wa way and in Missouri the they will undoubtedly undoubtedly undoubtedly un un- un- un get the tho vote Just as soon as they want It There Is la another phase of or tho the situation though the tho question of whether it is necessary because women generally run things about to suit themselves anyway Then Than too this assemblage is a po political political political po- po curiosity and you ou may realize that I had bad to travel over a few fow thousand thousand thou thou- sand miles of ot desert to reach an oasis of oC Republicanism HerA Hero tho the speaker was as interrupted b by applause and ha ho paused to ask whether h ther the tho applause WAS because he hah haU to

ency on the part pan of or the Judiciary to set its opinions asto asto as asto to what was proper and Just above the expressed will of the people He said that there had been man many statements to the effect that a session of oC the legIslature legislature legislature leg leg- was a a. public affliction and that too man many laws were ere being passed These expressions ons however he mostly from those who sought to profit at the tho expense of tho the people from the liberty given b by lack of ot proper prop prop- er or legislation and that there here was a strong Insistent and growing demand for tor more legislation along lInc lines J that would right rl-ht the industrial and social wrongs that had crept Into society Employers liability and taxation re reform reform re re- form torm were characterized by the speaker speak speak- er as probably r tho the greatest Jle needs ds He Ha said Sail that in the matter of or compensation tion to workmen tho the United States tates was sas still following tho the customs and precedents of 00 years cars ago A manufacturer manu manu- properly charged damage and depreciation of ot machinery to the costo cost o of goods but only until recent years was there thelo a movement to charge the depreciation and wear on human machinery ma mi- chinery chinen to the Industry in iii which it was en engaged ho he said Governor HadIe Hadley Had Had- Ie Icy ley said paid that tha t fourteen stages cs had adopted employers employers' liability laws and not one had regretted doing so JO Taxation was another subject which ii In the United States ho
