Baltimore Woman
Scores Kipling's Poem

BALTIMORE. Dec l-"out Of date,
rude. unmanly and weak"
These are the epithets applied by
Mrs. Donald B. Hooker, president OF
the Just Government league. to Rud-
yard Kipling's latest poem.
"Kiplng's idea Of woman is one that
has been banished from the minds of
all good thinking men along with other
barbaric ideas of medieval days" said
the suffragist. His position is that of
one who, barricaded behind custom and
conceit, refuses to see more than one
side of the question, and that side a
distorted one.
Woman. a she bear, a COBRA a
savage squaw.' is an idea that will not
be accepted by the minds OF the masses
today. The idea presented in the poem.
while couched with charming technique,
Is a slur on all womankind His concep-
ton of the savage, warning. biting fe-
male. using speech that 'drips, corrodes.
and poisons,' has aroused widespread
resentment, shown in the many replies
to the poem."
