A GREAT VICTORY
FOR PROGRESSIVES
Washington Politicians Believe
Tawney's Defeat Biggest Tri-
umph Scored by Boilers.

WASHINGTON, September 21.-In
the defeat of Representative Tawney.
of Minnesota. the regulars lose a
strong arm In the house. Progressives
and conservauonists to-day hailed hts
downfall as one OF their most import
ant victories In the campaign.
Tawney's exit Will make vacant the
place OF greatest power. next 10 that
of the speaker in the house. AS CHAIR
man of the committee on appropria-
lions he had charge of the DISPOSE
ton or hundreds of millions Of dollars
annually. For many items the APP
propriatfng OF money or the with
holding of IT depended entirely on
whether Tawney said yes or mo"
This gave him great influence among
the members, nearly all of whom
were Obliged to go to him for favors.
Tarfn and conservation brought
Tawney to his fall. Originally an
insurgent. he Joined the Cannon forces
when the speaker appointed him
chairman Of the appropriation COM
mittee five years ago. He carried his
loyalty to Cannon TO the point of
sacrificing his seat in congress.
Bound TO support IL.
As regular Tawney felt bound to
support the Payne tariff bill, whicn
was unpopular In Minnesota. He was
hhN VfAtS thctAhcI III the uelSEAtIOn
from his State to vote for the bin and
he then predicted it would probably
beat him for denomination. In an
effort TO save Tawney. President Taft
made his famous best tariff ever
speech, at Winona. Tawney's home
town. Roosevelt slammed Tawney in
his recent speech at st. Paul and his
opposition liz regarded here as having
had considerable influence on the re-
suit
Friends of conservation were in
tensely bitter against Tawney. AS
chairman of the appropriations COM
mittee he abolished Roosevelt's con-
servation commission and in other
ways interferred with the conserya-
ton movement. Pinchot stumped
the district to defeat him and eyerv
influence Of the former chief fores,er.s
friends was brought into the fight.
They planned to oppose him in the
election IL he had been renominated.
Tawney is serving his eleventh term
in congress.
In case OF the next house being Re-
publican, Smith. OF Iowa. may be
made chairman OF the appropriations

by Gfllett. of Massachusetts. With a
Democratic house. Congressman Fitx-
gerald, of Brooklyn. Is said to be al
most certain to get the chairmanship.

his opportunities to put where it would do
the most damage. That's what caused the

Wife says there are several kinds of club
presidents. There is the gentle voiced,
suave club president, who is tactful and
diplomatic, presides quietly, harmoniously,
and soothingly, and is so great that no one
suspects that it is just plain greatness that
is her distinguishing qualification. There is
the glad, effervescent club president who
regards every meeting as her own private
party, and plays the hospitable hostess to
about her, including everyone in her glitter
ing generalities, and has a dynamo so big
that all present may take their little magnets
to her to be recharged There is the school
teacher type of club president, who may
lack sense of humor, but makes everyone
come into line and behave.
Wife says that some clubs require the
schoolma am type of president, because they
have to be intimidated into good behavior,
otherwise they keep up buzz during all the
musical numbers on the program Under
pedagogic discipline they are afraid they
will be rebuked in public, or have the gavel
hammered at them or maybe thrown at
them, or wear the Ounce cap and sit up in
'front.' One never feels sure what an irate
and rghteously indignant club president

determined to have discipline at whatever
cost. Wife says all clubs cannot be led;
some must be driven.
When the Federation Meets
THE acme of enjoyment in connection
L with club life is to be found at the Cen
eral Federation. This meeting, which is held
every two years in an elected city, compares
in the feminine world with great political
conventions The women prepare for them
just as the men do. Every club sends its
delegates, and many Others go along just to
be sociable and to be there. Whrled through
the country in the Federation Special. they
swoop down on the town that has invited
them throw cares to the wind, and for
week have blissful time. They own the
hotels and cabs and streetcars and they use
the telephones, and call messengers, and hire
automobiles and ferryboats, and monopolize
restaurants, and wear flowers, and hold re-
ceptions, and eat icecream, and shake hands
with the Governor, and are written up in the
newspapers and their speeches printed, and

private and personal, kept in lockers on &C
count of real estate restrictions, just the
same as in mems clubs, still they are not
alike. However, the women are developing.
All real growth is slow For example, when
women first began to organize in clubs, they
had to pay fine when they were absent. A
womans club then differed from a mans
club in that a man could stay away when he
wanted to and woman couldn't. Wife in
forms me of this trif1ing bit of "reminiscences.
She says that was long while ago. How
ever, even to-day no woman's club is con-
Quoted in the least like a mans club, and
any clubwoman who seeks to conduct her
self in her club as her husband tells her to is
sure to do it all wrong. Directly the mascu-
line thought is Struggled into a woman's
club meeting, everyone's feathers turn the
wrong way and there is no end of, trouble.
Wife assures me of this, and she ought to
know. She belongs to fourteen clubs in
Guiding the Moral Prophylaxis Society,
which she has recently joined, and not for
getting the Pet Dog Club, which is not
member of the federation, and two afternoon
card clubs.
Disciplinine the President
X/HEN woman's club has an unpopular
" president the insurgents have methods
of torture all their own, not necessarily seri-
Gus, although that depends upon the attitude
of the president toward herself. The presi-
dent should be a broad minded woman who
doesn't mind gadfy torture. She mustn't
mind seeing an old fashioned picture of her
self in the newspapers, for example, neither
must she care about an anonymous letter
now and then, nor a few comic valentines
in February. If she is strong enough to
dodge these missiles and escape nervous
prostration, then she is not only club
able woman, but she is also qualified for
leadership.
The test is a telling one. Wife tells me the
only way to do is to pay no attention to un-
| friendly communications, to drop them into
| the waste basket and pretend you did not
receive them. She says that one time a club
president tortured in this wise took her hus-
bands advice on how to behave, and that in
consequence she did everything all wrong,
and that the aftermath was too terrible to
talk about 1t is just as sensible for club
husband to try to direct the affairs of
woman's club as it would be for him to sail

An Enhancing Drama of the Pathos

theatrical company goes to the theatre
for his evening performance and car
RES the house by storm. Elated with
his success, and filled With pride and
good spirit, he returns to his home
to find his little girl very sick with a
burning fever which augers something
worse. He is worried and anxious
The crisis must be passed before the
doctor can decide the little ones case
and give any encouragement as to the
outcome. The actor, man of artistic
temperament, tender emotions, and in
tensiye love, feels the strain of sus-
pense keenly. The next night he
must go to the theatre again. While
he is playing his part with appartntly
the same zest and vigor as usual, his
whole being is racked with thoughts
of his child and while he is in the
midst of his performance he goes in
sane. The curtain is rung down az he
is taken to a sanitarium His little
girl passes safely through the crisis of
her sickess and finally is restored to
health
The actors wife is in dispair Trou-
bic seems to darken her whole life, but
with faithful solicitude she visits the
hospital regularly to watch the condi-
ton of her husband, who grows worse
instead of better
While on one of these visits she
thinks that visit from his child
might help recovery The doctor
agrees with her, and the child calls
at the hospital with her mother. The
actor is brought into the reception
room and, while he is sitting staringly,
MS child gradually approaches her
father while she is singing a little
song which she and the father have
often sung together. He listens. and
then unconsciously huns the air until,
little by little reason dawns in his ex-
preston while he looks toward the
little singer in whom he recognizes
his own child.
He takes her in his arms as If CON
vincing himself that he has not been
dreaming. Then he clasps her to his
bosom. Looking up, he sees and recog-
nizes his wife, around whom he places
his arm and embraces her; and thus,
his mind recovered, the actor is him
self again.

opens to us real and inner life Of
men and women who live, as we'll as
act, human ideals. This great pic
