An audience which filed the spacious
auditorium and occupied practically
all the seats in the balcony greeted
Mrs. Lou V. Chaplin yesterday after
,,oo,, OF tho TlhaII cIJb house when she
spoke on "Curren Events"
beginning her bright and interesting
exposition of affairs with reference to
the suffragist party. Mrs Chaplin said
that among other arguments brought
against women as voters and as ACTIVE
participants in politics was their ex-
travagance in dress, the women or the
United States alone spending over
1858. 100000 annually for their ralment.
While admitting that these figures
we're Impressive, the speaker said that
they were irrelevant, in view of the
fact that the men of the United States
were not disfranchised by their annual
expenditure Of $3.50, 900 for cigars.
nor by their annual drink bill, which
aggregates $500, 100000
In view of the growing tendency
toward divorce, Mrs. Chaplin consid-
cred the English divorce law which
recently mas Deen so inquired dS u
make the obtaining of divorces much
easier than ever before, and said that
In her opinion the 100000 legal separa-
lions which have been granted in Eng
land during the past ten years, involv-
ing 100000 persons and after which
neither party could marry again, were
FAR more pernicious than larger num-
Der of absolute and final DEGREES. The
wave of divorce which is sweeping over
the United States, she claimed, was
due to the high moral tone of the
twentieth century woman, who will not
tolerate marriage after it's sanctity
has been violated. This topic was
followed by n brief review of the gen.
eral European situation and especially
the diplomatic relations which are so
finely poised that a breath may over
balance them and precipitate general
war.
Attention was directed to the Payne
Aldrich tariff bill, and after explain
ing the advance in the different sched-
ules the speaker affirmed her belief
that through this law the trusts are
entrenching themselves behind the Re-
publican party, seeking special privi-
leges at the expense of the consumers.
