little Stocky man with a blunt chin
and still blunter nose stood in the
middle Of the stage at the Grand last
night and yelled Strike No he
wasn't the umpire. Neither the stage
hands nor the actors in Widow Jones'
were indulging in an indoor baseball
game. You bet they weren't for it was
1:15 when the stocky man yelled and
the train left for Oklahoma City at
1850. The stage hands rustled the
scenery on a wagon or so and the ac-
tors and "actorinesses'' bolted for the
sleeping cars
Hurry, Emmai For heavens sake,
hurry cried a female voice from the
stars dressing room. 1t was Miss
Dorothy Morton dressing and the maid
was working overtime "buttoning her
up the back A moment later she
stepped out upon the stage. "A report
er to see me?" she cried. when the
State Journal man handed her his card.
Very glad to know you, young man."
she said Funny town you have here.
Never saw anything like it in my life.
Some critic said was fat. You bet
I am fat and what's more am proud
Of it, she continued. Il don't pose as
a young chicken. 1 am aging and as I
said before am fat and proud of 1t.
paid to get fat. 1 love to be fat. I
kind a like fat men. You never in your
life saw a fat man or woman, who
wasn't jolly good fellow. Fat people
joy it and try to make others do the
same.'
what do you think of the suf-
fragettes?" asked the State Journal
man.
Man Is Worlds Boss.
What do I think of them?'' Miss
Morton cried. ASK me? think there
is something wrong with them. The
idea, the very idea. Think of it. Wo-
men trying to be men. Man is the boss

will be. Now mind you, do not for
get that women in the past have ex-
erted a mighty influence upon world
history, but say that man is fitted 70
rule. Women seem to have gone crazy,
these days. They try to run the earth.
They are in politics, 'uplift' societies,
and whatnot. Pretty soon they'll be
trying to run this good old government
Of ours. The idea of women practicing
law and becoming civil engineers and
doctors. I do not oppose my sisters i'll
wanting to acquire good education,
culture and refinement, but they should
not try to run the men.
Raise Babies, She Says.
"a woman has a duty to perform in
this world. a serious duty The place
for woman Is in the home-in one full
of babies-the more the merrier. Every
woman was put here to make some
counsellor, to fill his house with babies
and make him see the better side of
life. Women today pay no attention to
their real duty. No, not they. They
run off and study law, talk about poll
tics, join clubs, petition for votes and
try to be as mannish as possible, that
is some of them do. And what about
the rest? Why they study the fashion
publications, learn to use the chatting
dish, make fudge, take lessons in paint
ing read trash think about music and
waste their time in general I venture
to say that only one out of every hum
bred young society women Of today can
boil water properly. Domestic science
finds no place in their work. They don't
know how to make a bed, fry an egg,
use broom, or wash the dirt out of a
child's ears.
This women in politics business
makes me tired. Women should get
away from politics and do as the
mothers of the present generation did.
Paw attention to their homes, if they
are married, Or get married and ac-
uuire a family If they are single. I
hope the government of this country
will never be run by women and 1 hope
the men in every state in which wo-
men are allowed to vote will rise up in
their might and revoke the right. This
women voting business is running more
homes and causing more divorces than
anything I know of"
The time: 6 to $50 o'clock tonight.
