The gradual change throughout the
south in the mast four or five years
from intense radicalism TO a wise and
careful conservative progressivism
has often been spoken of by northern
men who have visited the south as one
of the most impressive of recent po-

1t was with great pleasure that
we read all about how Marshall
Field & Co. "honored' their old
est employee, Edward Nevers,
yesterday.
1t seems that Nevers first went
to work for Marshall Field & Co.
October %, 1862, and so yester-
day he had worked for that firm
for so continuous years.
And so the firm "honored" him
and spread whole lot of bunk of
the sort that might induce other
employees to give so years of their
life to Marshall Field & Co.
John G. Shedd, president of the
company, called together some
hundred or so other "oldest en-
ployes" and made a speech about
Nevers.
And Joseph N. Field, brother
of the Field who founded the
firm, presented Nevers with a
diamond-set badge and also made
a speech.
The speeches made by Shedd.
and Field were pretty much the
same.
They were all about how great

thing it is for a man to spend $50 |

So it sent a reporter down to

A look of blank amazement ,
settled upon the faces of the !
clerks in the information bureau.
"Mr. Nevers p exclaimed one
of the clerks. why, I never

In the May American Magazine, Ida
NJ. Tarbell publishes piece OF docu-
mentary evidence showing that the
organized movement for woman's
rights as We have IL in this country
was founded on the idea that man is
conscious tyrant. Following is a
document--a List OF Grievances which
was adopted with a Declaration or
Sentiments at the first convention
called in this country to consider the
rights of women:
"The history OF mankind is his
tory of repeated injuries and usurpa-
tions on the part of man toward wom-
an, having in direct object the estab-
lishment OF an absolute tyranny over
her.
He has never permitted her TO ex-
ercise her inalienable right to the
elective franchise.
He has compelled her to submit to
laws in the formation OF which she
has had no voice.
He has withheld from her rights
which are given to the most ignorant
and degraded men.
He has made her, IL married. In

He has taken from her all right In

whom the guardianship Of the children
shall be given. as to be wholly regard

After depriving her OF all rights
as married woman, II single, and the
owner of property, he has taxed her

He has denied her the facilities for
obtaining a thorough education, all

Six Reasons

Here are six reasons why. the pro

vitality:

The New York Herald.
The New York Tribune.
The New York Evening Post.
This newspaper chorus has been de-

Democratic ideals on which IL was

reasons were on the blacklist.
Why this hectoring. abusive. vitu-

These things have naturally aroused

lence and uneasiness.
The really serious side to the exist
ence of this parasitical group Is that
great numbers OF other women, not
free, forced TO produce, accept their
standards of life. We hear women,
useful women, everywhere talking
about the desirability OF not being
obliged TO do anything, commiserating
women who must work, commiserat-
ing those who have heavy household
responsibilities, and by the whole gist

FINE PICTURE AT EDlSONlA
NEXT THURSDAY NIGHT

"The Early Christian Martyrs Is
the title of a picture to be shown at
the EdisOnia Theater Thursday
night. OF this splendid picture The
Moving Picture World has the fol-
lowing to say:
Gaumont has gone a step further
in this search for realism, and In
THE Early Christian Martyrs" has
given us a piece of work which has
small hooks indeed on which to hang
criticism-so perfectly is 1t done,
SO simple is the plot. and SO strong
and sustained its interest. Taking
its theme from those cruel days when
Nero threw Christian men and w0m-
eli to the lions in the arena. this
photoplay doesn't dodge the action
with side scenes and Implication
there are real lions-and lots of
them-men are thrown In with
them, and only a miracle. which
actually happens Tor seems to-
saves the victim.
We are shown poor Christians
gathering wood, and see them terri
fled at the roars of the lions. We
see them fee, and learn that one,
more courageous than his fellows,
determines, as he ma ynot kill the
beasts, to tame them. Then we see
him feed them, and, creeping closer
and closer, finally pet and embrace
these lions and make them his
friends. No, 1t isn't faxed. They
are real lions, and 1t is q real man
probably he was lion tanner and
played with his pets'-but he is a
mighty good actor, at that--so are
the lions!
Then we see the Christians taken
by the soldiers to Rome and in :,
very well-managed scene indeed
watch them praying in the dungeon
near the arena, with the lions roar
ing behind the bars of their cages.
The arena, which certainly present.
ed difficulties to the scenic producer,
is excellently done, and the little
touch of realism of about dozen
lions being whipped about the arena
by two men and finally forced into
their cage is the last touch neces-
sary. Finally We see one Christian
thrust into the arena and lion
loosed upon him. That lion made
straight for the man, but instead of
eating him, caressed him! II was the
same lion the same man had tanned
before he was caught for the use
of Nero in the arena. And, naturally
enough, the spectators think it a
miracle, and Nero the cruel, turns
his thumb up, and the Christian and
all his companions we're saved. It
wasn't wonder, after 0ll-it was
perfectly natural, yet as the title
asks you, was it not, after all, al
miracle?
My compliments to the makers; /.
Is film rich in realism, true to his
tory as We know it, and not spoiled
in the telling with any side issues
OF love tale or revene motif-simply
little bit of a great human drama.
1t Is highly educational, extremely
interesting, and with SO happy and
human an ending that in spite of
the dread theme Of human sacrifice
on which 1t Is built, 1t would give
