Opening Play of Norman Field Com.
pany in Airdome Monday Night.

pany in Airdome Monday Night.
The opening play of the Norman
Field Players, who appear in the
Airdome all next week, is story of
the Canadian woods, and tells grip
ping heart-interest story of a mother
who is partial to one of her sons. The
favorite commits a theft and places
the blame on his brother, who is then
driven from home by the mother.
The incidents following this act of
injustice make up play that is full
of the rich, red blood and drama
in which the interest is sustained
until the very last. A little pathos,
plenty Of ciean-cut comedy, lo3al co..
or and a torch of sensation makes a
truly great play.

the governor the power to parole ana

governor will continue to exercise that

Sufficient names have also been filed

The SuffrGgette
BY GEORGE FITCH.
Author of at Good Old SiWash.o

III HERE are many reasons why
America is more greatly blessed
than England. She does not have
English lords, bathtubs or weather. She
does not have to live up to English his
tory. She doesn't have suffragets.
The suffraget is indigenous to the Eng
fish soil. She is a product of the mascu-
line state of mind in England, which does
not change without the assistance of
blasting powder.
The English suffraget is a woman who
is trying to argue the suffrage question
with EngIishmen and is using the handi-
est and most useful arguments, includ-
ing bricks, clubs, gasoline, dynamite and
bombs
The suffraget is a perfect lady, who
has been reared in the lap of luxury and
has been taught to 90 to church regu-
larIy. She has no bad habits, except that
of burning pavilions and biting a prime
minister She Is well educated and Is
able to converse with a member of par
lament in four or five languages, while
banging him over the head with a soda
bottle. She is refined and feminine and
gathers her skirts daintiIy about her
while trying to kick a policeman in the
eye. Nothing could be more restfuI and
El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1913-08-11

calming than the sight of a company of
suffragets taking tea after upsetting a
notorious; and no suffraget of high de-
gree would think of throwing a bomb
without first putting ON her gloves and
arranging her complexion.
The English suffraget Is very severely
criticised by all lovers Of law and order,
and replies whenever she can with a
dOOTniek or paving block. She doesn't
waste time IN arguments which she can
spend IN kicking down a cathedral, and
whenever she runs out of mischief she
goes to jail for few weeks to think up
some more. Her theory is that it has
taken 1000 years for the English peasant
to persuade the English lord to share
his taxes and that she doesn't care to
wait for results from persuasion.
At present suffragets are cheerfully
starving themselves to death in prison,
throwing themselves under race horses
and eradicating themselves in other
ways in spite of which the supply
seems increasing. This would be an
awful country if we had suffragets in
it But in this country woman doesn't
use an oak club. She uses a woman's
club with deadly and certain results

Ell PasO, Texas, Aug. II, 1913
Editor Ell Paso Herald:
Thanks for publishing that Tribute
to Robert G. IngersOL' in your Thurs
day Herald It IS impossible to proper
y estimate the greatness Of the man
and the influence of his principles
upon the religious thought Of the half
century Just pasted
Being himself accused Of being a
pagan. he made the church become less
given to paganism.
Being himself accused OF infidility,
he caused many tneOlOgiOns to inter
pref their dead creeds in the terms OF
q more living faith
Being himself accused Of immortality,
he forced the priest everywhere to rec
ognize the authority Of a higher moral
standard over religious dogmas-
Being himself accused Of atheism, he
pointed the way to the only true and
good God.
In this Robert G. Ingersou was more
like Jesus than any other man He
may never become the god OF an idOla-
trous church, but therein may lie the
secret OF a greater success
