New York, Sept. 22.-Not more
resolutely did another young David
go forth after his giant than David
Graham Phillips goes after the
American woman in his latest novel,
The Husbands Wife," which ID.
Appleton & Co. publish this week.
Mr. Phillips thinks it Is time to
tell what he calls the truth about the
American woman and believes il is
his duty TO destroy what he charac-
terlzes as the literary and journalistic
fiction that has long represented her
as a superior being. 1t takes Mr..
Phillips nearly 500 pages to tell all
he thinks about the American wom-
an, and some of ii Is not fit to print.
He nominates her for chief member

cuses her of everything from doodle
wit to bad cooking and curl papers.

says It may be that woman will

would do well to learn to fill the

PLAYING TAG IN THE THIRD

~ A-N0 A<1o AliAAACs
The issue presented to First Ois-
trict Committeeman w. A. Berry
from the Third senatorial district
committee. is whether or not Mr..
Broadbent, of Trigg. had his fingers
crossed when Chairman Chrisman. of
Galloway, tagged him in the hotel at
Murray. and whether Mr.. Doom, of
Lyon county, had cried Kings ext
before Chrisman spied him.
Upon such momentuous considera-
tions as this do sometimes depend
the political affairs Of a free people
That Messrs. Broadbent and Doom
melted through doorway when
they saw Mr.. Chrisman enter, and
that having spied them. he said they
were present, and pulling from his
yestpocket the proxy of the member
from Livingston county. he proposed
motions in the name of the proxy,
seconded them himself. put the
question to himself and voted aye
for himself and the proxy. are the
facts upon which the contentious of
both sides are predicated.
The question is not whether
Broadbent and Doom were present:
they were not. The question is
whether the rules of the game were
sufficiently complied with to afford
the First district congressional com
mitteeman an excuse to decide that
the committee had called a conven-
tion to nominate a candidate for
state senator, thus forcing Henry
Lawrence to withdraw his candidacy
or get off the state committee where
he supports ]. B. McCreary.
Nobody expects political COM
mittee to consider the welfare or the
wishes Of the voters: but one is sur
prised when a committee disregards
the interests of the party 1t. is sup
posed TO serve, The Galloway COM
mittee split in the same manner, the
congressional committeeman decided
the question just as he will decide
this one, and the county went RE
publican. Some people might say
that politics requires regeneration,
when the interests OF the people are
neglected by the party organization;
but when a committee becomes dis
loyal to the interests of the party
then 1t would seem that the depth of
political perfidy have, indeed, been
reached.

BLAMES WOMAN FOR ALL

She's hopeless so long as the Amerl-
can man will give her the money to
buy flattery at home and abroad. And
the American man will give her the
money as long as he can, because 1t
buys him peace and freedom. He
doesn't want to be bothered with the
American woman"
Needs No Brains, No Taste.
"a nice, easy profession is lady, I"
Mr.. Phillips says. "and universally
admired and envied. 1t doesn't call
for brains or for education or for
taste. The dressmaker and milllner
supply the toilet. The architect and
decorator and housekeeper and stan
supply the grand background. Father
or husband supplies the cash. A dip
into a novel or book Of culture es-
says supplies the gibble-gabble.
"Why is It," Mr.. Phillips asks,
"that married women--unless they
have to work-spend so much time
in sick bed or near IL? They say
we in America have more than nine
times as many doctors proportionate-
ly to population as any other country.
The doctors live of our women-our
idle. overeating, lazy women, who
will not work, who will not walk
who are always getting something
the matter with them"
As for the alleged fact that the
woman is more cultured"
than the American man, Mr.. Phil
lips says this is "pitiful balderdash. -
He says: ''The truth Is that while
she is sitting still playing with a
apful of artificial flowers of fake
culture. like a poor doodlewit. the
man is growing away from

As our social life becomes more

individual increases accordingly. The
