THE DALLAS OPERA HOUSE
Chas. B. Hanford to Appear in
Two Excellect Productions.

Friday and Saturday, with Satur-
day matinee, November 18th and
18th, Mr.. Chas. h. Hanford will aP-
pear at the Dallas opera house in
two excellent productions. Friday
night and Saturday matinee "Much
Ado About Nothing will be the
bill and Saturday night The Tam
ing of the Shrew" will be presented.
Night prices pc to $3.50. Matinee
prices 2jc to 15c. Seats are now on
sale at the opera house IN Dallas
and the free list has been entirely
su spended. An advance notice of
Mr.. Hanford and his company saws !:
When one comes to consider the
difficulty i'm obtaining first-class
Shakesperean players, 1t would aP-
pear that Mr.. Charles b. Hanford
has been singuiarly fortunate this
season. From all newspaper ac-
counts, IL would seem certain that
Mr.. Hanford has not relied wholly
upon senior investure in his produc-
tious of much Ado About Nothing
and "The Tanning of the Shrew.
Although the elaborate mountings
of both plays have called forth won
dering and enthusiastic comments
equal praise has in nearly every
city been lavished upon the cast.

Say, If the kfdnap- pers, who steal children for a living, would only kidnap a few members of the beef trust and drop them accident ally into very deep water with a heavy weight around their necks, we wonder what would happen the kid napper? We know their fate if Phe- Ian, the tea man, was the judge. Say, We have q sort of very strong idea that this very same beef trust has the butter market cornered; at least. it looks that way to us. Therefore. If the people decide to eat more bread and butter and less meat they'll find they are compelled to pay 10 cents per pound "rise'' for butter. so it's six of one and half q dozen of the other. We must eat something. and no matter to what we switch off the mOnopolists have their eye open for our pockets; not to fill them; oh, no. but to empty them as slyly as possible. Well. 1T the lawmakers would drop the two cents per pound duty on beef, etc, and the six cents per pound duty on but ter and the retailers sell only imported butter and beef, things might change. We don't believe in selling foreign goods when we can get our own pro- ducts reasonable, but We do believe in giving the beef trust a pair of black eyes.

PREPARING FOR THE WOMAN
SUFFRAGE CONVENTION

The following call for the coming an
1usl Woman Suffrage convention, which
has recently been issued by the National
American Woman Suffrage association,
5 of peculiar and significant interest to
The members and Interested friends OF the
Woman Suffrage association OF Rhode
island:
The thirty-fourth annual convention
# the National American Woman sur-
age association will be held i'm washing
ton, ID. c., First Presbyterian church, AZ
aud streets, February 18th 10 18th in
elusive, 1902 An international Woman
suffrage conference will be held In con-
nection with II, TO which the Woman sun
rage associations OF fourteen countries
have been invited to send delegates.
The principles which for a century
nave stood as the guarantee Of political
liberty to American men, Taxation with
out representation is tyranny and gov
'rnments derive their Just powers from
he consent OF the governed, can no long
n he claimed as belonging To the United
states alone, for they have been adopted
by the civilized world. The steadily in
cressing acceptance Of the belief that
self-goVernment is the highest form OF
government has revolutionized the popu-
idi AHbhkNA VI Nnt NNild Nlllllf lne ldFt
nifty years. During that period all newly
established governments have been fash
ioned after the model OF Republic !:
while I'm most European nations and their
colonies the suffrage has been so largely
extended that the mere skeleton OF 4
monarchy remains.
Logical thinkers the world over have
been led I'm consequence to ask. Are not
women equally with men capable OF self
government? What necessary aualihca-
don ms men for the exercise OF this ga
cred right which is not likewise possess
I'd by women? Are they less intelligent? ?
The statistics OF schools. colleges aud ed -
ucationsl bureaus answer. NO" Are
they less moral, peaceful and law-a bidng
Than men? The statistics Of churches pu-
lice courts and peniteutia rss answer.
No Are they less public spirited and
patriotic than men? The abors OF mill
lions OF organized women in noble re-
forms. I'm helpful charities and wise phil
anthropies answer No Logical think
YRS ask further. if women are capable OF
self-government, why are they robbed Of
the protection and The beneHt II guaran-
tees? And again, n they are capable OF
Self-governmeut, why exempt them from
The duty and responsibility II involves?
