Its Not being able to get any satisfaction fro mthe officers of the Richmond Athletic Park association in the matter of a lease on the Athletic park for the baseball season, officers of the Starr baseball club yesterday took steps toward securing a plot of ground on the west side on which to erect grandstands, grade off a diamond and make a model park. An option for the Kround will be closed as soon as possible. The officials state the chances for organized baseball here are very good, as it is prohable that the locals 'will Join the K. I. O. Sunday league for the season. Efforts were being made by the club to organise another independent league among smaller cities near Richmond, but after the experiences of last year's trial of Independent league ball, which ended upln a grand squabble over the pennant, an organised league with stability is preferable in the opinion of the officials.

IT DOflT TAKE LONG

Issue an Edict and All Is Oven But Don't Think You Are Better Than Anybody Else Because That Is Uncivilized and Unchristian.

BY ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE. After all, there Is something in a king. The other day the King of Sweden stated off-hand he expected to introduce a measure or have one introduced, making women eligible to seats in the national parliament ant) conferring upon them equal civic privileges 'with men. There is no uncertainty here. The thing is to be done. The King says so. Whether anybody likes it or not and, presumably, the men dont although men may be different in Sweden than In Indiana makes no difference. No Jong crusade. No campaigns waged by suffragrttes. No recriminations. The King merely says the women are to be accorded equal civic privileges with men. Officer, attend to this please. . Hajid me the morning paper. They do these things simply in monarchies. A limited monarchy is about the best govtvnment that has so far been devised by man. An absolute democracy is impossible. So far as "votes for women" are concerned, however, this column has always maintained that things will be no better, no worse, than now, when the entire feminine body is given the franchise. The only reason for "the conferring of this privilege if a privilege could be said to be conferred is the inalieuable rfcjht of every citizen, no matter what the sex or social condition, to a voice in government. Uneducated and lgnorent women have just as much right to vote as uneducated and ignorant men. ' The truth is that neither uneducated nor lgnorent men or woman should vote. . An uneducated man or woman, for that matter, might be able to vote more intelligently than his educated brother. Because enlightenment and intelligent comprehension do not always follow education.. The writer knows a woman who cannot read or write, and who would be classed as an Illiterate, who yet would be able to isxst an intelligent vote in municipal affairs. Her native wit and shrewdness dress people and measures right down to the line. She also knows a -woman with a college degree who has absolutely no conception of civic affairs. These are, of course, the exceptions to the rule. But it is well to recognize the exceptions. The trouble with moat people is that they give no quarter to anyone outside of their social plane or comprehension. That great world peopled by "the others" is lumped in one mass and thrown into the offing. Why, in Instance, "call names." Why say. "niggers," "dagoes," "Bhentes." Why arrogate to yourself a certain superiority because you have a white skin. Who made the "earth and the fullness thereof?" How do you know who got here first? Who are you, anyway? In a few years you will be turned over to the worms who make no distinction between black or white, man or woman, good or bad, educated or uneducated, yellow or red, brown or copper. Neither God nor tbe worms care what your color may be, your race or your previous condition of servitude. There is nothing so immoral as thinking you are better than anybody else. The most perfect state of civilization is in that attitude which sees in Itself no superiority over any human creature. No matter if an Indian in his tepee or a monarch in a palace. Why call the man in the ditch contemptuously "a dago." He is, for that matter, just as white as yourself. The Italian is a Caucaslon. So are you. And he is very far from being invariably a member of the Black-Hand society or a cut-threat. He Is, in the main, sober, industrious. Intelligent and peaceable. He may be living in crowded and uncomfortable quarters in order to get enough money to send home for his family. Why hurl the epithet "dago" at him because he's different from you? No one is any better than anyone else, only different. When you "call names" you aren't either civilized or a Christian. These names are a source of humiliation, suffering and torture. When you call the Negro a "nigger," when you lump all under that name without discrimination you relegate yourself to the class of the savage and the heathen. You aren't a Christian no matter how many churches and charitable institutions you may belong to. No matter how learned, how elegant, how refined, how gifted. You can't be a Christian and "call names." Your prayers will rise no higher than the roof of your mouth where they generally stick anyway. . If you can't -treat every human creature with that respect which each of the latter owes to the other; then you arent civilised. You have no right whatever to think you are "better" than the other fellow. You may be. and probably -are, different, but that Is no matter. People flock In planes. -That Is natural and consistent. It Is also the only way the world is made habitable. But give each - plane elbow room. Bow politely as you pass. Say "that is my brother even if 1

WIIEll YOU'RE A

KING

him." Remember that be may not like ou nor be interested in you. And Its the universal franchise that is going to be the great leveler. Women need it to pull them out of the quagmire of sex servitude and sex attitude. Women are apt to be great sinners in the matter of "calling names," of drawing tbe lines hard and close. They'll have to get out of thte if they expect to be really free and untrammelled. Absolute equality must be recognized. It may be distasteful, obnoxious, hateful and yet recognized. When this recognition is achieved, then something nice is going to happen in the world. That women quickly adapt themselves to a new civic condition was demonstrated in Los Angeles, where a larger percentage of women registered than men and where a greater per cent of those registered voted. They also voted more quickly, with greater expedition and asked fewer questions than men and this the firsj time they had bad an opportunity. The bogey of "women's votes," is no bogey at all. Women here in Indiana could vote if they wanted to. All they need is a concerted effort. Those women Vho sit round the fire doing "fancy work," and diddle about at afternoon teas spearing salad and making way with toothsome sandwiches and who say "Oh, we don't want " to vote," and proceed to ridicule and sneer at the others are the worst enemies society has. They are the viper that is nourished at the social bosom. They are the parasites. The vampires that, fastened to the social body, are sucking its blood. ADDITIONAL SOCIETY LECTURE THURSDAY. A lecture on "Mammoth Cave" will be given Thursday evening at the Second Presbyterian church. It will be open to the public and all are invited to attend. There will be no admission fee asked.

Few Months of Dr. Stewart's New Treatment Cured Her Sound and Well. Mrs. Ruby Seller, of Peaatum, 111., had been a great sufferer from goitre or big neck, as it Is more commonly called, for several years, which was lastly undermining her general health and defied all doctors and specialists she had consulted until she went to Dr. Stewart, the expert medical specialist, who has his office on the second floor over the Starr Piano Co., in Richmond. After only a few month' treatment Mrs. Seller writes to Dr. Stewart Co., the following letter: Peaatum. 111.. Jan. 16. 1912. Dear Doctor For. all my life 1 have been suffering with a goitre or bigneck, which was about the sise of a pint cup, and 1 could not wear my col. lar at times on account of the terrible choking sensation in my neck . I had tried various doctors and socalled cures, but could not get any relief from any of them and had given up all hopes of ever bavins It relieved. Some of my friends finally persuaded me to jfo and consult Dr. P. L. Stewaft, the specialist, as they knew of several cases of goitre he had treat, ed successfully without the use of the knife, and the only thing that I can say is that today my goitre is entirely well and I would never know that I had suffered with one and I owe everything in the way of praise to Dr. Stewart for his most skillful and successful treatment, and I think he has no rival for the treatment of that awful disease, goitre. Truly yours, MRS. RUBY SELLER. There are hundreds of other Indiana people who have had the name Joyful ' experience. The wonderful, new and more scientific treatment used by Dr. Stewart is curing those who have been given up as hopeless cases by orwwi ji u.i am naj uia institute on the second floor over the Starr Piano Co., is always crowded with patients.
