IN THE REALM WHERE WOMAN REIGNS

Women Answer Mrs. Harding’s Party Appeal Three Discuss Plea From Standpoint of Women Voters’ League. IDITOB’S NOTE—The following: articles by Miss Alma Sichler, president of the Lesgue of Women Voters; Miss Gertrude McHugh, secretary of the Democratic State committee, and Mis 9 Katrina Fertlg, secretary of the Indianapolis Woman’s Republican Club, are In answer to Mrs. Harding's appeal to the Women’s National Republican Club for party loyalty, for which site lias been eritised by members of the National League of Women Voters.! The theory of the League of Women Voters Is the Ideal voter should be, first of all, an American, and afterward a Republican or a Democrat There are, even In practical politics, a great many times when the voter should consider primarily not what is arood for the party of his choice, but what Is good for the country which we all love. The League of Women Voters has no candidate for office, no machine which It needs or desires to put into power, or to keep there, no ax to grind, no selfish political ambitions to further. W T ky should unselfish and disinterested participation In politics be regarded as a public menace, when selfish and self-seeking participation Is not? The only banner under ■which the League of Women Voters Is organized Is the American flag It is a nonpartisan banner. Does Mr. Adams of the Republican national committee mean it when he speaks of our "pale banner of nonpartisanship?" We have not been taught to think In that way of the American flag.

ALMA SICKLER, ' League of Women Voters. imocrattc party always has been to tbe League of Women Voters, [embers of that organization will aslon to Investigate the records 1 find abundant evidence of the tees of that statement, emocratic party takes the position unless Its principles and achievements are not of themselves sufficient to attract the women voters, then purely partisan appeals and attachments will prove only of temporary advantage. There must be something wrong with a political party which attempts to discourage lndpeendent political thought. We need more of It. The day has passed when men and women inherit their politics. In all good conscience they should today le able to assign reasons for their political affiliations. Suffrage is anew responsibility for the women of thr United States and they Should be encouraged In their Independent clubs and societies and leagues where the underlying principles of the different political parties are discussed and compared. It Is only within such organizations the women will get an adequate and unbiased understanding of all political parties. Yarn will find by final analysis opposition to such helpful organizations as the League of Women Voters is founded In selfishness and blind partisanship. We note with regret many prominent women of the Republican party are still bitterly opposing the league. Such women are not thinking. They have not yet appreciated the significance of equal suffrage. Men voters have long been guilty of political lapses. In large numbers, they have voted and been voted without giving thought to the significance of the ballot. Such organizations as the League of Women Voters will prevent women from falling Into the same bad habit. GERTRUDE FANNING M’HUGH. Secretary Democratic State Committee. The women of the Republican party do not decry the League of Women Voters as Is being attributed to them. Many of the most prominent women members ot the party are most active in the league and are endeavoring to advance Its Interests as an educational factor In the life of today, whieh Is one of the league’s claims for Its existence. It Is true, however, many Republican women believe an adherence to party principles, and entering party ranks will tend more toward bringing about results desired by women than activity In any non-partisan body could possibly bring about. It Is within the party women most do their work If the good they hope to achieve by their rote Is accomplished. A constant effort, If need be, to learn and know the Inner workings of the body to which they have pledged allegiance should be their first aim. An effort to receive recognition In party control through undivided interest 1n the party of their choice will bring them to the front as loyalists, not only to their party, but to their Nation which the party serves. The fact Mrs Harding appeals to the women of the Republican party to pledge allegiance to party principles, and stay within the fold, does not carry with It that an attack is made upon the League of Women Voters, or Its members. The leageu Itself has advocated, from its in ception, that women enter the party of their choice. A prominent Republican woman advocates staying with the party and working from the Inside. She recommends that women be the "pudding stick” within the party to stir it up. It is generallv believed only through party, which already is an organized force, can women hope to bring about the things for which American womanhood stands. KATRINA FERTTG, Secretary, Indianapolis Woman’s Republican Club.

INDIANA DAILY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 25, 1922.

Women Watch Hays’ Entrance as ‘Movie King’ Leader of Indiana Indorsers Sees Possibilities for Good. BT JULIA C. HENDERSON. Women of Indiana who have carried on the fight for cleaner and better moving pictures are watching with Interest Will Hays’ entrance into the movie Industry. Particular attention is being given to the effect Mr. Hays’ connection with picture corporations will have upon the proponents of censorship. A board of censorship was strongly advocated ot the last Indiana General Assembly but was finally defeated In the closing hours. There remained, however, an active State organization, the Indiana Indorsees of Photoplays, as a check upon the showing of films that might be harmful to tho youthful patrons of the picture shows. POSSIBILITIES FOR GOOD SEEN. Mrs. David Ross of Indianapolis, former president of this organization, secs In the connection of Mr. Hays with the moving picture Industry great possibilities for good. Censorship will be a dead issue, Mrs. Ross believes, If Mr. nays’ ideas are put Into execution. His objects, it Is pointed out, are: First, to attain and maintain the highest possible standard of motion picture production, and, second, to develop to the highest possible degree the spiritual, moral and educational value of the Industry. Censorship ia now restricted to New York, Kansas, Ohio, Maryland and Pennsylvania, Mrs. Ross points out. She believes that there is little chance of censor boards being established in o'her States once Mr. Hays’ plan Is firmly established. BELIEVES CXNSOMHIT -NEED TO CONTINUE. Mrs. Edward Franklin White, deputy attorney general of Indiana, one of the active supporters the censorship measure when It was presented to the Legislature, also expresses hope that the retiring postmaster general will exert a wholesome Influence upon the moving picture Industry. Mrs. White, however, ts not entirely sure that the necessity for censorship will he entirely obviated and declare* that If the producers bring out clean pictures they have nothing to fear from a censor board. The pioneers in the industry bad the right idea and gave to the public what was most needed desired. It remained for the later producers to so commercialize tbe industry as to bring undesirable pictures to the force and by so doing they brought about a growing discontent which resulted In the lobbies which were held In various State Legislatures for and against censorship. It Is hoped that the entrance of Mr. Hays Into the Industry will revolutionize this popular diversion of tbs American people. Seeing as he does his opportunity for service. It it believed that he will bring to the movement ail the energy and ambition that he has brought to other ventures la which h® has been engaged. MEETINGS. Golden Rula lodge No. 1, I. O.

MYRA’S FINGERS By A. R . FARL El G H

MlUlcont Campion, who Is now testifying at the trial in which insurance companies attempt to evade the payment of a $310,000 policy on the life ot Ben Campion, who wu burned to death In his workshop, is the second wife of the deceased man. She relates the story of her life in the slums and her love for her husband In a way that Indicates that nnder proper environment she would have been an honor to her sex. Dr. Abner Campion, a stepbrother of the dead man, is charged with perpetrating an insurance swindle. Myra, a danghter of Ben Campion by a former marriage, and her mother are called to testify at the trial. The story began with a spiritualistic seance in Chicago. Through a medium, the first Mrs. Campion gets information of Ben Campion’s death. At this seance, Arthur Brownson, a lawyer and newspaper man and an admirer of Myra, is also present. The incidents at the spiritnallstlo "circle” eventually lend to clearing np the mysteries connected with the death of Ben Campion.

CHAPTER Vlll—Continued. Bhe pushed forward till she stood by the witness chair, gave her band to Millioent, turned And faced the throng. Men and women had risen to their feet. Arthur and the insurance lawyers were stricken silent. Abner and his lawyers rushed to the girl. Someone in the crowd clapped his hands. Others cried, "Good! Good!" Everything was in confusion and disorder. Attendants ran around shouting to the people to tak* their seats. The Judge broke his gavel hammering for silence. "This is a most irregular proceeding,” he said when order was restored, "extremely Irregular. It is late. I think the pplalntiff had better consult her coun •el. They are the only ones that can make a motion. In the meantime the court stands adjourned till tomorrow morning at 10 o’clock.” Myra took Milllcent’s arm. They went out together. Arthur Brownson had not separated them, Milllceat had found a champion. CHAPTER IV Counsel announced at the opening of the next day’s session that the case would go on that their client, outraged by the lack of humanity on the part of the defense had yielded to a splendid impulse of her womanhood, but she retracted her plea on learning that the defiling onslaught of the defense would serve rather than hurt Mrs. Campion, as It showed the abyss of misfortune from which she had been raised by an exalted, holy love, crowned by sa-red marriage and a life of feminine devotion. MUlieent took her place on tho stand, calm and quiet once more. In full possession of her will. The defense rested. Beginning hts redirect examination. Myra's counsel asked: “Mrs. Campion, in Just what condition was Benjamin Campion when you met him 7” The lawyers* comedy began again. Now the defense objected, but the Judge gave the plaintiff the same latitude ho had allowed the Insurance lawyers. “I don’t, want to say anything against Ben.” “You cannot say anything which is not to his honor. Tell the jury In your own wards the whole story of your meeting, your marriage and your life w'th your husband." Militcent’s face, which had been set for another attack, grew soft, tender—emotions that had been stamped down, crushed, killed. In her old existence, came to flower upon her featuree ss she recalled her extraordinary romance. “Well, it was this way,” she began. “Most of the trouble I always got Into

was through being too friendly. When I was at Mantell’s studio I had fine clothes and plenty of money. I promised to keep my old friends, but Essie Kynders, one of the girls, was sick, and hard up. The others wrote me. Well, I was rich and could help, so I went down—well—we spent the money—Essie had a good time a), here death, anyhow. Whan we same o.'t. some of the girls got to fighting. We all had drunk too much. We were all sent to the island. When I came down Mantell dropped me, o I Just gave up and said I'd always look out for myself after that. I had to take up with the old crowd, and I drank very hard. Then I met Ben.” “Tell how you met him, Mrs. Campion, all th® details.” “He was on one of those”—pause— “omlnbuses that come down to Chinatown at night, and”—she hesitated here a moment “he was very drunk. I was stnading at the entrance of an alley. I was not Very sober myself, but he was very bad. He told me afterwards he had been drinking for a week and did not know where he was.” Myra suppressed a groan as she thought, “My father.” “He came up and began to talk I liked bis 4ooks. A man named Lyons, he bad been a bouncer at Halllgan's, tried to take me away. I wouldn't go, and he hit me. Ben struck him and there was a fight all around. Yon never can tell how a fight la going to spread down there. Then someone struck me again and I was nnconsclous for a minute or two. Then I saw I was In the alley. Ben wae lying near senseless, with his face all smashed. I felt sorry for him. I had got him Into the row and I thought I ought to get him straightened out. so I took him to my room. I gave him a conple of drinks when h® came to and took a conple myself. I guess we both took more than we should, or else fell unconscious, for I didn't know anything till th® next morning, when I saw him lying on the floor. Then I washed the blood off bis face and he laughed and washed tho blood off mine. That was the first time a man had ever done anything like that for me. Neither of ns had any money, so I went out and borrowed some, and got some more whisky and a loaf of bread and some hot”—pause—“frank-, furters. We lived like that for two or three days.” Here she paused and seemed to forget where she was, looking back across a long distance. She came to herself suddenly, startled, went on In a monotone. “He got a fever, delirium, more likely. Well, I kept him there I thought I was foolish at the time, but it was the best thing I ever did In my life. He was all right In about a week or ton days; the liquor was out of him. Then I went nnder. He said he would get eome money. I didn’t think I’d ever see him again, but he same back with money. He took care of me till I came round. I wae & wreck.”

! Here she stopped again and seemed to see once more that day. eight years before, in the squalid Dnyers street hovel with the two ontcasts helping each other !to live. The courtroom was silent. Peo- ' pie were straining their ears. Myra's ; eyes were shining, wide open; she had never heard a story like this—and about her own father. “He wanted mo to go with him somewhere In the country, but I was afraid. He asked me to trust him. I must have wished to go with him. snybow. I went with him to a little place near Shrub ■ Oak in Weetchester. The honse belonged ! to a friend of his, Franz Maidhoff, a Gerjman, who was s wood carver ’• i Here the court was disturbed. Mrs. Farnham bad ejaculated. The witness looked at her wonderingly and went on. “He had his work sent to him from New York, but he would do only enough to live on anu spent most of bis time raising roses and reading Germa# poetry. He and Ben were great friends. Ben worked on his invention in a shed where he had a kiln and Maidhoff did his carving In another, a regular workshop. The old man was a”—pause—“philosopher. They would quit work any time to talx I about poetry and art. I couldn’t understand them. When I got a little stronger I made up my mind to run away. I was very fond of Ben. I didn't want to get too fond of him. I knew how It would hurt when he dropped me. I knew he would drop me some time. Maidhoff caught me getting oway and called Ben. I told him why I was lesvlng. He laughed and said, ‘Yon’re never going to leave. This Is your home.* Maluhoff Joined in, ’as long as yon like you slay. Then we two Rrtists, Ben and me, we don’t have to cook, to clean, to mind the i house. All the time we talk about beautiful things and you work for us. How yon like that?’” She smiled as she recalled that evening. “Then one evening ten or twelve men came to the house and told Ben and Maidhoff I would have to leave —that it ’was a public disgrace the way we were living. I was frightened. I knew all about tough men, thieves and bouncers. T had never been afraid of them, knowing all I would get was a blow, bhit those countrymen looked at me in the doorway as though they would like to destroy mo at once. I was frightened. I was going to *ay I .vould go away when i Ben steps forward and puts his arm ; nronnd me and says, “Gentlemen, I don’t like the way you’re talking about my | wife. The sooner you get out of here j the better.’ They drew back a little, but one of them says, ‘Show us your certificate?’ Ben suye, 'Did you ever know a good woman to carry a certificate! around with her? How many of your wives have their certificate in their bags?’ They went off. I thought that was the end. Ben says, ‘We better get over to Peekskill, Millie, and get married.’ I told him not to be foolirh, I’d make a funny kind of a wife, but he says, ‘Look

Mrs . Barr Speaker at G. O. P. Editorial Dinner Here Friday Ksb gj? |WtV “fcrV’ aW MRS. DAISY DOUGLAS BARR. Mrs. Daisy Dougins Barr, who will be the woman speaker before the State Republican Editorial Association dinner to be held at tbe Claypool Hotel Friday evening Is a well-known woman of the State In various lines of organization work and public endeavor. Mrs. Barr is an ordained minister In' the Friends Church and Is at present the pastor of that church in Newcastle. She also has served the church o* her faith at Fairmount, Greenfield and Muncle.

here! You’re a wreck and I’m a wreck. Why can’t we put these two smashed up lives together, agree to stick by each other to the end and to help each other not to break loose again? What do you ay?' I had never thought such a thing possible.” She stopped to wipe away tears. The room was very stllL “I knew I loved him. I was perfectly willing to die for him. So I thought, why not live for him even if he does grow tired of me. ‘lf you need me.’ I reid, ‘l’ll go through It.’ He kissed me. We drove over to Peekskill In the morning and I became Mrs. Campion.” The crowd gave a great sigh of relief. Marriage closes all stories—nave those it begins. After these revelations there could be nothing to stimulate. What is a tale of happiness to one of misery? We must all be very happy people, we are so fond of hearing of woe and sorrow. But the lawyers had a Jury to persuade, to convince that a man and a woman like Ben and MiUlcent could not do evil after their redemption. “Tell ua about your life with your husband.” “First of all, Ben educated me, or tried to educate me. I did not speak then as I speak now. I know I do not speak well; have to stop to think of words, but then my langu; -e was Doyers street and Mott street. He would not let me use an improper word. He corrected me. taught me to be plain and simple and to love beautiful things.” Myra thought of the gaud7 Bronx flat, MUlieent had not learned simplicity. “I had to study my lessons every day and recite them to him like a child. It was very hard at first, that life, but I loved Mm. It wasn’t only the lessons, he was always showing and teaching m® things, art, those 11 -le figurines, he pointed out their beauty, had Maidhoff show me his carvings and drawings. I was very happy then.” -he burst into tears. Myra felt her own eyes moist. Why was It she could not help liking this woman? She should have drawn her skirts aside and shunned her, and yet—and yet—she knew she would take her hand again after court adjourned. (To Be Continued ) Business Women of .
