ARE THEY

Or Are Those Organizations of Women Opposed to Suffrage Merely the Tools of Interests Who Want to See the Feminine Franchise Defeated?

BY ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE. j Then there are the fools. There are always a lot of 'em round at one time and another. , Some of them are sending out "literature" in envelopes labeled " Association. Opposed to Woman Suffrage," with the street address and city thereon. With "opposed to woman's suffrage" la large fat black letters. Now what do these women mean by this? Are they sincere? Or are. they "put up to it" by some party organization inimical to the universal franchise for women? Or are they a parcel of solemn dunderheads who think they really have a mission. Or, far more like, a nucleus of women bound to shine in the limelight some way or other and take this method of so doing. Or a few disgruntled ones elbowed aside by some of the more strenuous suffragists and to "get even" organizing among themselves , to put the others to the bad? Who can tell? ; Nobody knows. presumably somebody but not those at remote points of the compass to fwbom they send their "literature." , Now whatever their motive sincere ior otherwise certainly these women are harking back to the stone age. , For no matter how recent that age In relation to present social activities it is as remote as the days when man fared forth to capture that female of the species which particularly took his fancy and carry her back to his cave. We're past , that long ago. Or at least we're past the organiziag against progress state. t Women have the full franchise in ;six states and what has happened? Nothing in particular, t Things are going along as usual altthough perhaps not in exactly the rcame old way. f Very few women either run for or desire office. ' They have almost Invariably "stood for" all' reform measures and for the most beneficial legislation. -Have registered votes against boss rule and for enlightened legislation. As stated here several times before, perhaps, the franchise for woman is merely a civic right, which should be possessed by har as a human creature and part of the great social fabric. In this she is merely being recognized as an individual In contradistinction to a thing of sex. 1 There is a tremendous lot of rot floating about "the home," and the "duties of a wife and mother." -As said here the other day woman is the bone upon which everybody gnaws nowadays. Why not let her alone and start on the men. They need it. ' Men are naturally selfish and more or less degenerate and need to be prodded up to remember what their duties are in the scheme of things. For it has come to pass that, with or without the franchise, women in this. latter day are performing not only their own part in the drama of life but are forced to take on the role of the man In five cases out of six. Look about in our institutions for Instance. This column heard it said the other day that the women up at the high school did all the work while the men held the official positions the while they sat round on tables telling alleged funny stories or read the papers 'While the pupils froliced. Go into business houses and you'll find the women the real mainsprings of action. Many women, whether they vote or I not, are supporting themselves and their families which may or may not, but generally do, include men. They pay taxes, build houses, pay for property improvements, run businesses, support families, rear chll- , dren, hew and sew and scour and I scrub and cook, endure with fortitude the evil tempers, cruel treatment, indifference, neglect and regardlessness of men. SURELY SETTLES UPSETSTOMACHS. 'Tape's Diapepsin" Ends Indigestion, Gas, Sourness and Heartburn in Five Minutes. "Really does' put bad stomachs in rder "really does" overcome Indigestion, dyspepsia, gas, heartburn and sourness in five minutes that just that makes Pape's Diapepsin the largest selling stomach regulator in the world. If what you eat ferments into stubborn lumps, you belch gas and eructate sour, undigested food and acid; head Is dizzy and aches; breath foul; tongue coated; your insides filled vith bile and indigestible waste, remember the moment Diapepsin comes in contact with the stomach all such distress vanishes.

SINCERE?

Still you can read such stuff as this sent out from this anti-suffrage association: "In the first Ave years of its life, or even less, while the father is still only a spectator, though often a deeply interested one, of its growth and development. the mother is teaching the child its first lessons in obedience, the self discipline, and all those spiritual qualities which, as they are more or less faithfully inculcated, shape the moral trend of its nature. This is her highest and most important work, and is the outcome of marriage and the home, and which if neglected in those early years, is seldom supplied later, but leads In the life of the adult to an honest and righteous, or a selfish and ignoble character. It is therefore the making of the adult citizen, which is woman's most important and Inalienable political work. It is the work done or neglected in the first decade of a child's life, to be followed later by her ceaseless and vigilant care, which determines to a large extent whether he will use 'the machinery of politics, not until then put into his hands by the State, for the best good of the Commonwealth, or for his own selfish and dishonest aggrandizement." Now why should the father be a mere spectator during the five years or at any other time. This "putting it off" on the women is one of the most amusingly sardonic phases of the whole anti-propaganda. The women get it both coming and going. This excerpt is from a pamphlet called "The Making of Voters," further called "Woman's Best Work." If women are Intelligent enough to make the voters pray why shouldn't they be intelligent enough to vote? If they're good enough and fit enough for the one thing, why not the other? Isn't it just as much the father's business to look after the training of his child as it is the mother's? This thing of shifting 1 all the responsibility for the making of the man on the feminine half of the combination is about the weakest, most snivelling, most contemptible and the most assinine aspect of the whole social question. ' Men don't like the responsibilities of marriage. They want all the emoluments without any of the drawbacks. And the drawbacks of marriage are all on the woman's side. ' So the men shift the responsibilities. They all do it. They all dodge them if they can. There's the occasional woman, of course, who is the exception, but the majority of women bear the burdens of the world. And the trouble with them is that they have no esprit de corps. The very ones -who pose as the upholders of woman's feminine integrity are the very ones you'll find, ten to one, who are the meanest and most catty to members of their own sex. Possibly without children but on the outposts to tell the women who have that they haven't any business to raise their eyes beyond the hub of the grindstone. That it is their business to keep their noses close thereto and every time they lift their heads for a glimpse of sunlight, they'll get soaked from the ramparts. Ramparts manned by members of their own delightful sex. Who maintain headquarters where they possibly have stenographers and clerks who spend their time writing letters and sending out "literature" of the above character. Why are these women doing this? Why aren't they "in the - home" mauling for the men and raising children as they should be raised? Get out of those mahogany furnished offices, you women "opposed to suffrage," and cease performing these uu womanly functions. Wanted Woman to do Laundry work at house. See Mrs. R. G.

ORVILLE HARRDLD WAS GIVEN GREAT RECEPTION LAST NIGHT

BY ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE. , This city has had an opportunity to read and, now and then see, the famous literary artists native to the state, but last night was the first time it had had the privilege of listening to an Indlanian who has become celebrated on two continents for his wonderful voice. Be it said, however, that after seeing and hearing Orville Harrold that it is not the quality of his voice alone that distinguishes him but his musical and histrionic art. For that Harrold possesses the lat ter in an eminent degree was evident in his three songs from "Pagliaccl," given in costume, and that he triumphed over the handicap of the stage setting which was so out of keeping as to be preposterous, only goes to prove that Art is supreme when translated through so superlative a medium as is this great tenor. Harrold, in the first part of his program made up from various well known operas of the French and Italian school with a single number from Dvorak, was put through his musical and operatic paces, if It could so be put, and showed his technical acumen as well as the capabilities of his extraordinary vocal organ, which reached E, in one fine climax, and yet did not exhaust its register which is one note higher. In Haxrold's presentations were heard all those perfections of technique which distinguish the trained operatic singer of celebrity and which mark the difference between the one of a high plane of accomplishment and the other of musical genius. For in this singer's exquisite nuances of tone, his coloring of the phrase, his beautiful use of the "half voice" and his splendid climaxes were heard that musical sophistication which is found only in the direction of rich natural gifts, Harrold, after a certain fashion. Is an instance of that dictum by a great philosopher, that perfection in the arts is only reached by "following the ruieB without knowing them." Harrold's temperamental versatility was also shown in his interpretation of a varied scale of emotion, both in degree and kind, and of both the tragic and comic spirit. Also of the lighter emotional phases as in his encore from "Naughty Marietta," in which he starred with Tretini during the first year of that successful light opera "I'm falling in love with some-one," which was an illustration of the vast gulf which yawns between the interpretation of the great artist and he or she of mere talent. Nor in that comprehension of the beauty and melancholy of life possess ed by the lieder singer did Harrold lack, nor in the more purely melodic ; art of the ballad singer, nor the poetry of song, nor the significance of metaphorical allusion. "The Snowy Breasted Pearl," in instance, was sung with a wonderful appeal and appreciation of its symbolism, and the response to a recall the familiar "I hear You Calling Me," was given with haunting tenderness. I In the recall elicited by his Dvorak ' number, the singer gave Chauncey Olcott's "Each Day 'Til I Die," sung ' and composed by the latter popular ac-tor-singer, with an effect only possible to a musical artist with inexhaustible tone and temperamental possibilities. ; In Allitsen'B "The Song of Thanks-! giving," on the other hand, he was heard at the opposite pole of emotion-; al manifestation but was none the less ' successful in convincing sincerity, both : musically and intellectually. j Harrold's dramatic gifts were shown , in accentuation in his three numbers from "Pagliaccl," an opera in whose ! presentation he has enacted a leadingg : role, which he gave in costume and j which was the climax of the program. Harrold, in these translations of cer- J tain incidents in the life of an Italian : strolling player, or mountebank, displayed those dramatic gifts which have lent themselves to his over-; whelming operatic success. It is not i usual, it is trite to say, for histrionic Everything in Mnslc 23 North 9th mffifo FRENCH

and musical gifts to be found in combination and that is one reason that opera is so often unconvincing in the stage presentment but there was no Hnnht nt thn mpaninr of th emotions

depicted by the singer even though their utterance was made through an unfamiliar language, one of the reasons of Harrold's dominance in grand opera being here made apparent. Harrold, in short, is an extraordinarily gifted human entity in two phases of art, and adds to this the incalculable asset of personality of magnetic quality. That this Indianian should, within a few years, have risen to that pinnacle which proclaims him as one of the two greatest living tenors is not, therefore, so extraordinary as it may appear for such a combination could not long languish in obscurity. It is only a matter of time when It will be discoverable. His appearance here was a welcome one and his greeting enthusiastic for he was recalled after each number and so repeatedly and insistently that he responded with several encores. As one well known musician said, "he did everything with the Binglng voice that could be done," and delighted his large audience. Mr. Harry E. Paris, of Muncie, who is managing Mr. Harrold's tour of five Indiana cities, is to be congratu lated upon giving the people of the j state an opportunity to hear their noted confrere. Mr. Paris is well j known in this city where he has appeared in recital both alone and with j local musical organizations and he was I greeted by many of his friends last evening. In two of Mr. Harrold's recitals, those in Muncie and Anderson, the Ensemble Club, of Muncie, made up of sixty mixed voices, organized and directed by Mr. Paris, assisted in the program, giving the "Tomb" scene from "Lucia," with musical eclat. Mr. Harrold's program in detail is given herewith: 1. "Romanza Aida Verdi 2. Old Italian Aria ...... Donizetti 3. Oh dolce Bacclo Tosca La donna mobile Rigoletto 4. 5. 6.
