COMING DRAMATIC EVENTS.

Hunting for Hawkins" since its first
presentation till the present time, has
enjoyed an increasing popularity which
has demanded its temperance in every
locality where it has been produced.
Gray and Hecket have selected a most
capable corps of comedians for this sea
sons production and present Hunting
for Hawkins in its most aborate form
at the Crawford tonight.
Dainty music, magnificent dresses,
pretty girls, bright lyrics and plenty of
comedy are the elements which go to
make up the Chinese English musical
play san Toy. An almost unprece-
dented record both in London and in
New York has been scored by san
Toy. In the latter city it is the only
musical performance ever to have had
more than one run on Broadway 1t

the men do anything of the kind. 1t may be
argued by this oldfashioned man that he
spends much of his time in fnding how to vote
intellgently. If so, the women have right
to remind him that the stupidity senseless way
Of conducting public matters, too often appar.
ent, would indicate that the more he studies
the case, the less he knows about it. Men
who, in the pride of superior sex, think they
know more about the real questions which un-
derly public matters than women of the twen-
tieth century are men who are ignorant OF
what women are doing to enlighten themselves.
The women of to-day are proving equality of
intellect by taking the highest honors in all
the institutions of learning in the land in di.
rect competition with men. BY means of her
study club and other avenues of information
which are now open to her, the average won in
is becoming better posted as to the moral and
political needs of the people than majority of
the men who exercise the right of suffrage.
And, what is more to the point, and of much
greater Importance in the consideration of this
matter, is that, once shown the path of duty,
she will conscientiously walk it as she does
that of private duty, in perfect harmony with

Status Of Woman.
rom the New Time

From the New Time
The constitution Of the United States starts
out by saying: "We, the people Of the United
States" etc. AS women have no suffrage, the
present constitution does not regard women as
4.people." This reminds us of the fact that,
two or three centuries ago, the church main-
tained that woman had no soul. Capitalism
now takes the place of the superstitious lgnor'
ance of former ages, and denies to woman
equal political rights. The political status OF
woman is, to-day, where mans political status
was two centuries ago. Under capitalism and
according to our constitution, women are not
..people," but are regarded as mans property
or chattel.
? Socialism would accomplish woman's free
dom in two respects: 1t would give woman
political, and also economic, freedom. 1t re-
CARDS women as "people," and would give
them their just share in the affairs OF the ra-
ton as we'll as men. We cannot have true
political democracy till then.

THE rapid extension OF the rural free deiv-
ery system shows what fools control at Wash
inpton. The results of the system were as
we'll known to students year ago as to-day,
but it took the fellows at Washington several
wears to experiment in the matter before they
would undertake the improvement. They
were afraid it would not work! Now, the same
is true of hundreds of other things. When
the government establishes the parcels post, it
will work Just like the rural delivery, and then
the department will take great credit to itself
for permitting the people to use their own
postal system like the people of Europe have
been doing for years, But what do people
know about such things who have never made
a study of them? And have the men elected
to congress made such s'udyl Not one in a
hundred has ever given such subjects mo-
ment,s thought. And that is the reason the
people get it in the neck.-Appeal to Reason.

The Defeat of the Suffrage Bill.
The Topeka Herald says, editorially:

1ne topeka Herald says, eultOllally'
"The defeat of the suffrage bill in the house,
while not wholly unexpected, was accompanied
by some surprises. It was surprising that
majority of the members could be induced to
vote against measure when its opponents
were unable to present any better reasons for
its defeat than were given by those who spoke
against it. 1t should Ie an encouragement to
the advocatesof woman suffrage when those who
oppose it are reduced to the extremity of rising
in their places and making a serious argument
against enfranchising women, plea that it
will interfere with the womanhood and mother
hood of the land for women to spend hfteen
minutes each year in expressing their choice of
men who shall fill the Offices which govern
them as we'll as the men.
"Did any one ever hear such tommyrot, ex-
cept from the old-fashloned man who absorbs
his information from the corner grocery, and
who is still doing business on the prejudices of
his grandfather? Such argument would lead
men to believe that most men spend the
greater part of their time in exercising the du-
ties imposed upon them by suffrage. But, as a
matter of fact, only a very small per cent OF

Socialism and Cooperation.

From the Enterprise Star.
Socialism must rest upon cooperation, or 1t
has no base upon which to stand. Co.opera'
tion-the people working together to accom-
plish certain results that they may enjoy certain
r,phts-may be either local or general 1t is
not likely that CO operation in general Will
precede cooperation locally. Cooperation, to
be successful, must engage the productive
forces, and this may be done in almost every
community. Production, along agricultural
and manufacturing lines, is the great essential
of the people, .xchange-is OF
secondary Importance. When the people in
any locality have learned to cooperate in pro-
ducing, they will have no trouble then to CO.
operate in effecting their exchanges. When
cooperation has been established successfully
in many localities and in many states, the step
is not long one, nor yet difficult one, to
universal cooperation, which means the social
;st;c state. When we nave learned to econo-
,nize our time, our labor and our skill in pro.
ducing the things we need, and must have, we
shall have no trouble to find the most economic
way of making our exchanges. And if there
is any obstacle in our way, put there by the
cunning and intrigue of men, we shall have no
trouble to locate that obstacle, and to find
way to remove it. In this way only can the
sovereignty Of the people be made manifest

so much praised by these anti.sudrage orators.
When as much can be said of mans devotion
to the high ideals of manhood, brotherhood,
and fatherhood, then, and not till. then, may.
he assume to speak of woman as liable to be.

may perform without the danger Of degrade
