EWLY BISHOP A GREAT ENTERTAINER In Her Readings She Dramatieaily Enacted Scenes in the Senate Mrs. Kinsey Was Very Pleasing. One of the strongest programs of the entire mmIod of the Indiana 8 tat federation ot Clubs was that of Thursday evening, In dosing, the addresses of Mrs. O. P. Kinsey of Valparaiso; and Mrs. Emily M. Bishop, of New York, proving especially interest Ing. : The latter glvea dramatic read lags from the actual scenes enacted in the United 8tates senate and her work In tbla regard. In which ahe imitates more or less ths manner and voice of ths principals in ths legislative drama, la exceedingly unique and clever. Or dlnarlly such a subject would not be of sufficient Interest to hold an audience but In the masterful handa ot Mrs. Bishop It becomes a thing of llfet a vivid, concrete creation that Lolda ths auditor from the beginning to (be end. Mrs. Bishop . snowed to the uninitiated Juat what plan la followed by ths senate In going about ita business and how much valuable time Is wasted by Its methods ot procedure; what limitless opportunities there are for cutting off debate and preventing any legislation that a man or group of men might desire, if they were not la control, and how those la control can secure the legislation they desire. Mrs. Bishop's scenes from the senate are from her owa observation sad ahe tells the- story' In such a ' way that even the novice In matters politic aad legislative cannot, fall to grasp tie polats which ahe is striving

Mrs. Bishop gave her auditors especially the womensome clear and concise Information on the tarlS Question, because, despite the .' claims of the men to the contrary, she;believea the women are aa com . ' patent to understand this question aa they. are. Beverltfee la Shewn. On the various scenes depicted by Mrs. Bishop, which Included discus , akma between the regular republicans . themselves, between republlcana and democrats and between regular and insurgent republicans, it waa flatterlag to Senator Albert J. Beveridge, of Indiana, that wherever he appeared he waa fighting for real facta in regard to the proposed legislation- . which at that time waa on the tariff law and he entered a vehement pro test against men being called upon to vote before they knew for what they were voting or being carried off their feet while trying to speak by the use of some subterfuge. As tar aa the lights of the people were concerned. Beveridge stood out In bold relief as compared to any other member of the senate to whom Mrs. Bishop made any reference. She showed that only , about one-third of the members ot the senate take any real part M Ita pro- , . ceedlags, one-third putting in their time la looking wise and the other third looking wise and asking occasional questions. All told, her treatment of the senate, so notable for its "' profound dignity, was anything but flattering to this great body, ahowlng that it. wastes time In legislation.

Mrs. Kinsey Popular. One of the most popular women In , , the Indiana Federation Is Mrs. O. P. Kinsey of Valparaiso, who Is the present first vice president, a position to which she waa elected over her -protest, because she thought a younger woman should have the place. Mrs. Klcsey waa the first president of the Indiana Federation and ahe has been active In many capacities and Is also retire in the work of the General Fednation. Her talk Thursday evening dealt with the recent biennial convention cf tfce General Federation at Cincinnati, . she calling attention to the most important features of that great gathering. There were so many good features that Mrs. Kinsey found trouble ia selecting the moat importcat, but her choice waa the three principal addressee made by women ot the Federation, one of whom waa Sarah Piatt Decker, ot Colorado, but as Mrs. Kinsey said, "of the United States." Ttese addresses were all ably prepared, ably presented and reflected ia ' perhaps the best possible way the real s'galflcance of- the woman's club movement and the possibilities of this movement Mrs. Kinsey waa presented with a bunch ot white chryaanthea mums following her short, address, a (rt'monlal ct the esteem in which she Ss held.
