TO A PRISONER. Imprisoned bird, how canst thou ding As if 'twaa early morn. And from the blue o'er sparkling fields Thy song was born? Thy world is now a little cage Hung on a dusty street. Add with tha sound of heavy wheels Thy strains compete. Ah, if thou canst from just the rays That on thy prison fall Find and float-forth thy happiness So may -we all! So may we all for 111 tie things Pour out our heart! in pralBe, And in the sun of what we have Find singing days. Paul Mall Gazette. MRS. KAMINSKI HOSTESS.

PITY THE POOR AMERICAN RICH MAII

Press and People Are Forever on Their Trail "Downtrodden Workman" Is Not in Evidence Here The Hunniwell, Kansas, Case.

BY ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE. Give the poor rich man a chance. In an editorial In a state paper a day or so ago with reference to the ubiquitous Goulds, the statement was made that George Gould managed his railroad properties from his yacht and the golf links. Also various disparaging remarks were made about this gentleman as to his domestic relations. Whatever may or may not have been the infelicities of the rest of his family, no greater example of domes tic rectitude and paternal devotion can be pointed to than George J. Gould. Married early to Edith Kingdon, an actress in Augustin Daly's company, he has, so far as anybody knows, been what is generally known as a "good husband and father," having six children and having devoted himself to business. If not with success, with a seemingly gratifying desire to emulate his famous father in so far as possible. And as to a yacht there's no crime in owning a yacht. Everybody would own one if they possessed the famed price. Nothing is more amusing, either, than the deadly flings made at golf. If George J. Gould plays golf he never attained that proficiency on the links j that would call for newspaper comment and if he doesn't play he ought to learn. Its a good game. Such a good game in fact that many municipalities have public golf links where the mob repairs and merrily whacks the ball off the sandy tee. The truth is that the rich man who wants to be a respectable member of society, to take an interest in public affairs, to serve his country, to be a part of the life of his community, has less chance in this country than in any other. He is at once set upon and harried by the newspapers like a dog does a rat. Every time he sticks his head out of his hole they snap at him. He is ri diculed and sneered at. Made the tar get of every cheap jokesmith in the land. Laughed down. His motives impunged. His methods aspersed. It is apt to be said of him "he wouldn't cut any figure if it wasn't for his money." This is the thing that ran William Waldorf Astor out of this country and caused him to repudiate his citizenship and become a British subject. William Waldorf Astor was one of the highest types of cultured American citizenship. With vast wealth at his command he elected to take an interest in public affairs and wished to run for Congress. He was literally hooted out of the ambition. Although

Black and all the new

IVHain Sttneet

an able man and one who would no doubt have represented his district in the national legislature with credit and perhaps distinction, he was literally hounded out of it for no other reason than because he was a man of wealth and was branded as a "dude." Waldorf Astor was a writer of a certain brilliant talent and produced two novels of much interest and literary finish, far more meritorious both as to narrative and as a literary performance than many a popular novel of the day, but his literary aspirations, as well as his political ones, were ridiculed unmercifully and for no other reason than because of his being a conspicuously rich man. It, was an exhibition of national rowdyism, if it might so be put, that was a disgrace to the country. When he finally quit his own land for another he was derided from one end of the United States to the other as a traitor and an ingrate. a flunky and a snob.

The truth is that no man ever tried harder to live his life creditably and honorably than William Waldorf Astor and no man eer used more shamefully by his compatriots. There is a good deal of talk nowadays about the "working-man," and his downtrodden condition and, taken in the large, and boiling it down to the average, there is a certain truth in the contention that he is being crushed to earth by the combinations that exploit his labor. But there are all degrees of "working-men." In Richmond, in instance, the best element of the town is made up of his representatives. When speakers talk about the rich man with his automobile let them come to Richf mond where the so-called workingman is frequently the owner of one of these vehicles of the plutocracy, and what is more, he oftener than not owns his own home in which there are all the "modern conveniences," bath-room, electric lights, no doubt a piano, with plenty of good reading matter in the way of books and papers. He sometimes represents his ward in the city council, is appointed on civic committees and, altogether, takes as much a part in the affairs of the community as his bonded brother. Where contrasts in living are violent as they are in the big cities, class distinction can be played to by the demagogue with seeming fact and consistency, but where social lines are not sharply drawn, as they are not in this town, some- of the oratorical bombs thrown from the platform do not alPsJ ' S

.W... 'Miw k

ways explode in the exact direction ia! which they are thrown.

Out in Hunniwell, Kansas, the men are giving an interesting exhibition of the beauty and Fimplieity of the masculine entity when brought to bat. A woman was elected mayor. Everybody read about it in Collier's and otherwhere and everybody is acquainted with the celebrated facts in the case which, briefly, are that the ! town council refuses to ratify any ac tion taken by the mayor or to assist her in carrying on the machinery of government. The Governor has sent a special representative to straighten out affairs but, at last account, matters remained just where they were when he arrived upon the scene of non-combat. Nothing is funnier than a man when he Is trying to show that he is fulfilling his destiny as the lord of creation. His transparent devices would not fool kindergartener. In this particular instance he is mad because a woman has been elected to the chief office of his little burg. He therefore sits and kicks the baseboard and sulks. I won't play at the little game of running the town if a woman bosses the job, he says in effect, and everything may go hand and the grass grow on the streets and the whole rotten business die and decay before'l'Il recognize her authority. If they really wanted to play up'the i inability of women to, take active part! 'in civic affairs, they would support) their chief executive, "concur," as the Quakers say, in all her suggestions.! boost her measures and then turn to: the town and say we've done what we could. But you see the woman is incompetent. We've performed our of-J ficial duty but you see what a mesa' she's made of it. t Instead they are giving hertheop-j portunity to pose as a martyr, to letj her ability remain an unknown Quan-j tity, to keep people guessing as to the) outcome were she really in a posJtlonj to act in her official capacity, and iM together, as near as the pubUo caw judge, .making complete a nd.-utteridJ iots of themselves. Mrs. Ella Wilson. mayor.8tateathati she is no quitter. That she will holdi down the lid of her job untlktaetAast: horn blows. So there you are. That this condition would obtain universally if suffrage were gtvwn tos women, Is nullified by the state ofl public affairs in the lve states wtoere women have the full franchise. Things are no better, no worse, in these com--; monwealths, than they were before.. The entire body of its cltlsenshlp., however, is represented In its clTiolife, instead of a part, and that part,' frequently a minority.
