Art and Suffrage.
az MISS CLARA e. pYER.


What has art to do with suffrage?
might be asked, for. TO the casual
inquirer the connection seemy rather
remote. To those who believe IN equal
suffrage as the assertion OF woman 8
distinct individuality. anything which
tends to develop that individuality
becomes related 10 the woman move
ment and its final goal-political
equality
All women who are artists may not
be snffragists. but those who are do
ing important work must feel the
need OF that. individual status which
the ballot can give.
II is true that We'll done, for a
woman is now rarely heard, for wo-
mans work is judged with mans
standing on individual merit. but the
development of a woman's talent or
the Towering OF her genius will be
more complete as her individuality
finds fuller expression.
Tie change Of view point which full
citizenship would bring must be felt
not only in the creative work of wom-
en- in art, but in sense of response
bility for inartistic conditions In the
home and community. The American
women have been showing what Is
ossible under existing restrictions,
with results that predict great art
future for our country. when the ar
tisric instinct of women. now fitfully
expressed. can be directed to the
realization OF civic beauty and some
unified effort for beauty in the home.

ART AND POLITICS UNITED,

ones. In the older civilizations OF
Europe the people growing mp sur

discuss music and art with intelli-

the rule, such appreciation is the
mark of culture.
Thus we find the city council of
Chester supervising the architecture
of all new buildings that the harmony
and character of the town shall not
be disturbed.
In cur country we have little art
to preserve. save the architecture OF
New England and the south, beauty
which Is heritage from our English
ancestors ana which makes New
England towns differ so widely from
the later settled west. but We have
the problem OF creating appreciation
by education.
Fine examples OF art, architecture
and furniture being rare and not a
part OF our daily surroundings, the
children of the republic must be
taught to discriminate between the
fine III form and color and the I'M
lovely, for every ore of them will be
called upon To make a daily choice
as in later years they become the
home makers of the country and a few
may sit In the city councils and de-

Roosevelt Men in Colorado
Are Not to Be Reconciled
on the State Ticket.

DENVER, Col, September 2.-Senator
Joseph NJ. Dixon failed in his mission
here to unite the progressive repub-
lican party OF Colorado with the pro-
gressive party. Leaving early today
for Salt Lake City to confer with the
progressives there. he carried with him
the knowledge that there are two sets
of Roosevelt supporters in this state
who are irreconcila BILE opponents as to
the composition Of the state progressive
ticket.
The progressive republican party of
Colorado, represented by Philip B.
Stewart, NJ d. Vincent and Attorney
General Griffith, formally and finally
severed all connections and negotia-
tions with the progressive party. OF
which Edward p. Costigan and Judge
Ben Lindsey are the recognized leaders.
Stewart, Vincent and Griffith in
statement declared the progressive re-
publican party of Colorado will partici-
pate in regular republican primaries

Stewart Refuses to Withdraw.
The announcement came after practi-
cally forty-eight hours Of conference
with Mr.. Dixon, Gov. Johnson, progress
i've party vice presidential candidate;
Judge Lindsey and E. p. Costigan.
The negotiations came to an end when
Stewart declined to withdraw from the
gubernatorial race, and to withdraw his
name as candidate for governor at the
September primaries Of the republican
party and accept instead from the pro-
gressive party exclusively the nomina-
ton for United States senator. long term.
thus throwing the support of his followers
to the state progressive organization,
whose candidate for governor is E. P.
Costigan.
Both Factions Support Roosevelt.
The progressive republicans. while re-
naming in the regular organization.
announce they will support the national

Senator Dixon after the conference held
a second one with the state progressive
party to fill vacancies.
1t was decided that the progressive
party would put full ticket in the field.
F. D. Catlin of MontrOse was slated for

HISTORIC CHURCH REUNION.
Annual Services at Protestant Epis-
copal Edifice Built in 1898.

SALISBURY, Md, September 2.-The
annual reunion services at the old
Green Hill Protestant Episcopal Church,
near here, were held yesterday.
Old Green Hill Church was built in
1913 of bricks brought from England.
Many years ago the church was re-
stored, and since that time yearly serv-
ices have been held. The old pews are
high and were formerly inclosed with
doors at the end. which were locked
after the services. When the church
was restored, after being in a dilapi-
dated condition for many years, one
pew was found locked with a large
paddock 1t was said to have been the
pew of tory, who said that no one
should ever sit in 1t and pray for the
President Of the United States.
At one time this church had a COM
munion service, gift of Queen Anne OF
England, and a baptismal font present
ed by the king. This same font is still
in use, and was brought out yesterday
for the baptism of child.
