Do you know what l think

should build a memorial to the
men who went down with the
Titanic, one that would be better
and more beautiful than any
other in the world, just as the
herOism of those men was great
er and more Sublime than any il
the history of man. And
think they should start the funC
for this memorial with the treas
ury Of all the suffrage societies
Of America as a token that they
are willing to defer the struggle
for the rights and privileges
of citizenship while they acknow
ledge the supreme man-giver
right to live.

Women's Rights VS.. Mems
Chivalry.


Serena Lamb in The St. Louis Republic.
Women''s rights.
What a cry. What a silly
reaching-after-the-moon sort Of a
plant.
And what a jousting with
windmills it is to fight for such
a cause.
Women could not have more
rights than they have now,
those of them, at least, who
haven't dropped the substance in
the effort to grab the shadow.
They have the right to care and
comfort and safety, all of which
men must give them. They have
the right to idleneSs at the ex-
pense of the labor of their men.
They have the right to life it.
self when men must give up
their own lives that the women
may live.
And they have all these
rights whether they are
scrubwomen or DuchesseS. The
seeker after suffrage doesn't get
anything more than the house
wife. In the awful Titantic dis
aster last week the lowly peasant
woman's rights came before the
man whose death was loss to the
entire world. Ignorant servant
girls were considered before men
whose word might have made
the financial cente1s of two
hemisphere tremble, men whose
wealth and power was almost IN
calculable.
If John Jacob Aston, or lsa-
dor Straus, or Benjamin Guggen-
helm had been lying i'll in his bee
at home the stock markets OF
the world would have stood still
waiting for tidings. Yet these
money kings were merely mel
when it came to a question o.
their lives or the lives Of the
chambermaids on the Titanic
or of the women immigrants Il
the steerage. And as such they
were of only secondary considera
ton.
A great artist. A world-fa
nous engineer. A publicist o
international influence. Theoe
and many other men, whose plac
es in the affairs Of the work
win be hard to fill, stepped out
The Lexington intelligencer. [volume] (Lexington, Mo.) 1901-1949, 1912-04-26

the strong, live man, who can
stand and watch death approach,
the while he does nothing at all
simply because there is nothing az
all to do, is the real hero. And
that's what the men on the I'll
tanic did.
Because chivalry held the up
per hand Of the primordial brute
instincts of their sex they sent
the women to safety and them
selves calmly entered eternity.

An APPALLING SEA DISASTER.
The Big White Star Liner Titanic goes to
the Bottom after Collision with an Ice

the Bottom after Collision with an Ice
berg. Loss of over 1000 Lives.
Every other sea disaster the world has
known paled into irsignifcance when, lust be-
fore o'clock last Monday night, word was re-
ceived that the White Star liner Titanic had
sunk off the Newfoundland Banks.
The biggest, costest and most luxurious of
the floating palaces built to accommodate the
transatlantic travel was, within four hours
after she came into collision with a vagrant
iceberg, shattered, sunken, deep-sea morgue
Revised estimate loss of life, 1924 souls.
The survivors number 868
The $4,000 600 steamship, with cargo and
jewels, worth perhaps $10,000,O00 more, an
utter loss.
Those saved, mostly women, who were set
adrift in lifeboats within few moments after
the Titanic struck, were picked up by the
Cunard liner Carpathia and are on their way to
New York.
The captain, the crew and most of the men
passengers-includingm many American multi
millionaires and scientists, painters and writ
ers of worldwide, repute, who had waited to
engage passage on the Titanics maiden trim
are all believed lost.
The steamship Titanic was the largest vessel
in the world, greater even than her sister ship,
the Olympic, and was considered to be the
final word in marine architecture. At the time
of her launching the White Star line claimed
that the steamer, besides providing the passen-
gers with an actual private residence, laid
further claim to distinction in that she was
absolutely unsinkable, even though half of her
fifteen bulkheads were filled with water
These bulkheads were arranged that they
could be closed by the officers on the bridge at
a moments notice. Eleven steel decks also
added to her stanchness, it was said.
