sums for expenses when he is in a good lord of the exchecquer gives him and is hardly likely to be very eager that wo- mans eyes should be opened to the great CT pleasures which freedom and mastery brings to one. But there is a minority of men as well as women that are sufficiently developed to know that no real pleasure comes either to the slave or her master; that in equality alone is there harmony. True progress consists in making things equal. As one rises others must rise else inharmony results.
 The strongest argument, to me, in fla vor of women voting is that no man or any number of men has a. right to say she shall not vote. They have usurped power and have deprived her of her right, which she as one of the governed possessed as a member of the communi- ty. Woman contributes just as much as man to the well being of every commu- nity and it is the rankest injustice that her desires and convictions are not all lowed expression.
 That woman suffrage must come is a foregone conclusion. How long it will be in coming depends upon the length of time it will take for us to become de- veloped into civilized creatures instead of semi-civilized beings The highest type of man is above feeling any pleas ure in petty tyranny and will lose his hold of that which is not his by right When women are more developed they will demand that the undeveloped man release his hold of that which is not his. Progress must be the work of both the sexes The blame for our present condition rests no less on woman than on man. Education, development, en- lightment are the remedies
 I do not believe the men of Alabama will give women their freedom yet awhile, but it is not because the question of woman suffrage is ahead of the times, but because the men are not up with the times.

Mrs. Crozier French's
 Opinion on the Subject

The three questions which follow have bcen put to me with the request that I answer thor in the Age5Herald.
 1. Is the resolution introduced in the Ala bama Constitutional Convention on the subject of woman's suffrage ahead of the tinesf
 g. Do you believe that the average wo man wants to vote?
 B. What are your strongest arguments in favor of women voting?
 Unless it is conceded that the South ern States are to be perpetual stragglers in the march of progress, the time is cer- tainly ripe for the consideration of the question of equal suffrage in Alabama. In four states of the Union are women on perfect equality with men. In En- gland women are only denied the parlia- mentary suffrage. This being true 1t would appear the right of the question has been settled. The only question now for consideration is how long will the conser vative element of each community keep justice from being done? One of the most marked characteristics of mankind is the desire to hold exclusive rights in every thing possible The divine right of kings trampled under foot, the stand is made for the divine right of the male sex. Only the highest development of the human race ptTCelV6 LllaI lHe lyIdliAy Oi ilielIiy iiich is no less arbitrary than the tyranny of on, man. It is the principle of freedom of wtl. that is violated. The consent of the governed is ignored.
 AS to the question as to whether the average woman desires to vote, I should say. most decidedly, she does not. The average woman has always been a slave and cannot appreciate the joy Of freedom.

Some man has always done her thinking for her and consequently she has but little Independence of thought Alp :stract questions of right and wrong con- cern her but little Give her plenty of fine clothes. a handsome house, carriage an2 horses, etc., and any ore may settle sse affairs of the country.

Edna Smith Talks of
 Her Work in Paris

There is nothing more charming than to hear an ambitious young girl talk of her work; to have her recall this little incident or that little episode that mark CT the turning point in her life; for when ever a young woman starts out to accom- 2il1h any thing she invariably dates back tc a certain time when the whole current of he- fife WaG changed. And 1t is those i;I.ie events, as JaEics Lane Allen would say, tha: contain the history of our lives.
 Ana so, as 1 chatted with Edna Smith ts. past wee,S-the young girl portrait painter who has just returned from Paris to her old home in Birmingham, 1t was interesting to hear her recall her life m the Julien Academy, and to speak Of those intense little incidents that influenced her in her work
 Miss Smith went away from Birming- ham three years ago.. She has been in Paris all this time. not idlinS, but work ing, very, very hard.
 First, there was the ambition to exhibit in the salon and when this was accom- plished life held still higher ambitions. Life will never let one be contented.
 Miss Smith went direct to the Julian Academy in the Passage des Pannramss. familiar to all those who have read Marie Bsshkrtstcff's Journal.
 Here she went through the ordeal of having her work criticised by the old masters. who could be either hopelessiy indifferent or severely critical.
 Tt was the first time that I had ever drawn from the nude,' said Miss Sinth. II was given an easel and the model and tolI to Go the best that 1 could. It was Monsieur Cchommer whose criticism used to dread Then there was Benjamin Constant-today the first portrait painter of tho world. His portrait of the late Queen was hung in the Royal Academy, and 30 a criticism, either favorable or otherwise, was something to be prized, some thing to work for; while of course a word from Monsieur Julien himself ere atcd a great excitement in the studio.'

The enterprise of Bir1ningham's clti- zens Is proverbial. Not only in the de- velopment of industrial ventures is this enterprise shown, but on the other ex- treme in matters of the finer arts which might be least expected in city like Birmingham.
 The Elite Opera Company is an enter prise such as can be boasted of by no other Southern city in the country. It is an organization composed almost entire lg of Birmingham artists, assisted by few others imported from the North. It is backed by Birmingham money and is the product of Birmingham brains. In the personnel of the company the organ ization Is strictly amateur. In the char acter of the performances, however, the organization is thoroughly professional. For the public will not go night after night to soc an amateur show, as Bir- mingham did for seven weeks last year, and even then were clamorous for more.
 Henry Lightwood is the company's comedian and stage manager, and Is recognized as one of the best on the comic opera stage. He is an Englishman by birth, and has had one of the most romantic and adventurous careers imag- ina5le. Ho has sung in opera all over the English speaking world, and was at

the women of Alabama would not vote were the priviledge extended to them? Although I do not believe the women of Alabama wish to vote: yet, they are thor oughly aroused and interested in many public measures of most serious import to the welfare of Alabama, especially the child labor bill and the educational bills. They know perfectly well what they want, even if they do not care to cast votc to secure it. And I believe that the women of Alabama during the next two years will exert far wider influence in the politics of the State by working for needed reform measures, as they have all ready organized to do. than they could ever accomplish by casting a few votes at the polls.-Mrs. Zac.
