DICKENS FITTED FOR STAGE
Kate Field, Excellent Judge of Char
acter, Confident He Might Have
Been Great Actor.

No one ever paid q much higher
tribute to Dickens than did Kate
Field. She had the soul of a poet, a
discriminating taste In art and liter
ature and wide knowledge OF the
World. In mentality she was fully as
strong as either of her brilliant broth
ers, David, Dudley, Stephen ]. or Cy
rus W., and she certainly was as good
If not better Judge of character.
She once wrote an appreciation OF
Dickens in which she declared the
world lost its greatest actor when
Boz became a writer. She gave de
scription OF one of Dickens readings
that was mastery In its viyidness OF
detail. Such versatility as she cred
tied Dickens with displaying as he as.
sumed the character of first one and
then another Of his creations. the pa
hos, the humor, the tragedy he put
into tone; the marvellous way in
which he stirred the emotions of old
and young in his audience. would ap,
pear to be a bit extravagant were It
not that now and then in later years
some old man, looked upon as stern
and Unconditional, tod with falterine
voice how he stood in line all one
night to buy ticket to one of Boz
readings, and then went on to talk
lust about as Miss Field wrote, only
before he got as far along In his
story the tears were running down
MS wrirkled cheeks--his old heart
strings still atune to the magic of The
Master.

such a contest can be justly censured for squeal-

at his own game.
Whether that was the case in this instance we

do Mr.. Roosevelt an injustice st,.,sayI Z
that II was not, but that he went into the pri-
and was defeated by methods that were ques-
uonahc. TO say .1e Iea Therefore II Is hoped
that the ex-president will get the second pri-
mary he Is demanding. and that 1t will be a
perfectly fair primary. The result probably
would be about the same, but 1t would deprive

this distance 1t has not looked as 1t New York

ROOSEVELT AND WOMAN'S SUFFRAGE.

In his bid for a nomination for second cleo
tive term Theodore Roosevelt has declared him
self in favor of woman's suffrage. IF the women
want the right to VOTE which is safe and
sane plank for his platform.
In England. where the militant surragettes
have made their want known by smashing win
dows, not to mention the hats OF eminent states
men, the English House of Commons has lately
re fused to consider q bill enfranchising women.
the women want the ballot they should ask
more politely. Perhaps their action is merely
one Of reprisal.
Now, just for that you won't get the ballot, "
Is the attitude OF the English lawmakers to the
ladies who have smashed their hats and abused
their forbearance.
Over here we do many things better. women
as well as men II the American women want
the ballot they are not likely to go around
smashing the hat OF the good-natured Pres!-
dent or the glossy tile Of philander Knox. They
take the ground that much more can be OBJ
tanned by wheeding than by going into tan
trums
a FUSS Not much. If she wants spring bon
net for Easter. does she promptly throw the
dishes around the dining room and a few fits?
Does she go into Mysteries and threaten to
leave her liege lord and go home to mother?
Not SO.
Quite the contrary.
She meets him at the door with smile She
sees that he has Just what he likes to eat. She
fetches his slippers, and II ne is a smoker she
tells him TO go ahead and smoke II he likes,
and beams upon him whenever he happens TO
look up from the newspaper. She does all this
and more. She cajoles without his knowing 1t.
and she gets what she wants when she wants it,
Who can refuse her?
II the militant suffragettes used rs much or
binary. good-wonanly sense In their quest for
the ballot as they do when they want some
thing for their everyday needs-supposing that
the ballot Ia not an everyday need-they might
accomplish their object far more easily and
swiftly than they, Will by going into tantruns
and smashing windows and hats.
But, then. perhaps. militant suffragettes have
no iiege lords.
