BIG CROWD TOOK IN PROGRAMME
LAST NIGHT PRESENTED RYs
THE PHoSTERIAN LITERARY
SOCIETY OF FARGO HIGH
SCHOOL.

A large crowd took in the Phosterian
literary programme at the high school
and every one was pleased with the
work done by that society. The Girls
Glee club sang a song which called for
an encore but there was no response.
John keye next gave an grafton and he
neld the audience with his clear dis
tinct voice. A piano duet was very
much appreciated by the people pres
ent.
The hit of the evening was the play
HOW the Vote Was Won, and. too
lllucn can not be said Of the way in
when 1t was acted out. Donald
faulders who was the leading charac-
ter carried his part fine, the easy man
ner in which he spoke made it easy
Tor the audience to hear. Bertha
Everhart as the meek wife carried her.
part Well. All the other people in the
caste worked fine and the whole play
showed careful study and practice.
Miss Aldrich directed the play and she
deserves much credit for her work.
The play had to do with the SUI
tragettes in England who because they
were not given the right to vote. quit
work and went to live on their nearest
male relative. Mr.. FauFders as the
young clerk earning ga a week was
very much against women suffrage
until he had seven cousins, aunts and
nleces On his hands to support then
ne decided that women suffrage was
alright.

The Equal Standard =.
By VIRGINIA TERHUNE VAN DE WATER.

He had the grace to blush as he thus
revealed his ideas, and vet I knew that
he spoke a truth that lies at the bottom
Of many a mans heart. Men pity the
fallen woman in the abstract, they con
denim women who are hard upon her.
they give money to houses Of refuge
and to Magdalene hOmeS-and one would
think them the soul of pity-until a
woman belonging to them falls Then
the whole matter changes.
It is not fair, nevertheless. l am told
that it is impossible for a man to rise
above this inherited feeling-yet there
are men who have done so. one. a
plain farmer, learned that his girl-wife
"a pretty, foolish creature-had gone
away with a handsome city rascal, and
he tried TO harden his heart against
her. Yet when, week later, she came
to her senses and returned, pale and
conscience smitton, and, paraphrasinE
the prodigal's prayer. pleaded: 81 am
no more worthy TO be called your wife;
let me be your servant" he lifted her
from her knees to his breast and said,
Il have been waiting for you. little girl.
You have had a wild, bad dream, but
it is all over"
woman to whom l told this story
shrugged her shoulders. What a pu-
sillanimous fellow he must be-" she ex-
claimed. such an action was certainly
not like manly man"
No, it was more like God, wasn't it?
This wOman's Censure reminded me that
the men are not the only persons who
do not live up TO a belief in an equal
standard And until we women live
up to It, we can not blame men for
condemning our sex when we forget
our womanhood. 1t is with women that
the reform must begin. The mother
must train her boys TO believe in this
equal standard, to say, as does one
mother: If you want your wife TO be
a good, pure woman, make yourself the
kind of man that d good, pure woman
should marry"
Let US carry the principle further still
Let us not condemn the woman who,
in girlhood, made a false step and has
repentcd of her sin in bitterness and
anguish. and yet receive into our homes
tNe man WnOi we are lplNs Is a clever
chap-"a little irregular in affairs with
women. but, nevertheless, a charming
man to meet socially" We need not
treat the man with an Lam -holier-
| than-thou" attitude. but how dare we be
guilty Of the hypocrisy of receiving him
and yet feeling that the woman is not
just the person whom We care to know.
That is, to my way of thinking, one Of
the sins Of society. Either We must
pardon neither the man nor the woman
or We must accept both
Yet I know professional man whose

because Of his social prominence, for
given When all the world knew of his
crop Of wild oats, his wife one day
sowed a little plot Of this kind of grain
in one corner Of her life-partly per-
haps. through unhappiness, partly
through pique. Her husband has Sc
cured a divorce from her. And at a
luncheon last winter I saw a puritanicaI
matron raise her brows when this wife $

Il once knew her she said gravely,
