WOMAN Of WEST
DENIES SUFFRAGE
WILL SPOIL SEX
Eternal Feminine Will Per-
siSt in Spite of Politics,
Says Visitor.

The eternal feminine will continue to
spite of all the suffrage movement, ac-
cording 10 Mrs. l.. V. Spencer. of Cali
fornia. who is visiting her daughter,
Mrs. John L. Raker. wife of Congress ss-
man Raker of California, at the Con-
gress Hall Hotel.
The suffrage movement comes as the
result of women having to earn their
own living, Mrs. Spencer says, and the
consequent necessity for them to mix
i'm public affairs. But there Is really
no more disposition for women 20 desert
the home than for men to adopt femi-
nh" ways and ideals. There are over
100000 women in the United States,
sue says, earning their living at the
bar. I'm the practice OF medicine, and in
other ways.
Mrs. Spencer is not connected with
the suffrage movement, but she fayors
Il for those who want IL. She thinks,
however. that most women will vote in
accordance with the wishes of their hus-
bands. The reason there are so many
women earning their own living is be-
cause there is coming to be less desire
on the part OF women 10 marry simply
to get a home.
women are becomirg & more particu-
lar" Mrs. Spencer says. they are not
willing to take any man who comes
along for the home his may be able to
give them"
AZ the recent election, Mrs. Spencer
says, the Presidentisl candidates were
pretty well supported by the women OF
inc country, who WIRE divided In their
opinions just as the men were.

Ten Thousand Performances
Only Add to Operetta's
Drawing Capacity.

When, in this age of progress and
novelty; of mood, of sensation. of de-
mand for the always new. a composer
can write an opera of the lighter school
which will live more than one or pos
sibly two seasons he ought to congratu-
late himself.
When he can make his production ap-
preciated by three or four seasons of
theatergoers. he has every reason for
considering that his composition is
greatly above the ayerage-but when
10000 audiences in one country alone
bear witness TO his genius. and encore
his every lifting strain, then may he
feel justly proud of having attained
what is reserved for but few.
This is what Franz Lehar. the vien-
nese composer, has done with THE Mer-
ry Widow" Given its premiere pro-
duction in New York in the fall Of 1901,
Die Lustge wittwe" quickly swept
the metropolitan music lovers Off their
feet. Records were established which
successive successes have been unable
10 touch, and the Austrian opera was
made the criterion by which all fol-
lowing musical pieces were to be Judged
much to their sorrow.
Ten Thousand Audiences

Then came the road tours of THE

umphs from Portland to Portland. She
Paid her first visit to Washington with

Taft was inGugurated. and came back
here the following season. The next
season she missed the National Capital,
but now she has returned, as dainty.
beautiful. t:rneful, and captivating as
ever.
So many times has THE Merry

The Barry Memorial.

To-day's dedication Of the memorial to Captain
John Barry at Philadelphia is an interesting Incl
dent which should not be marred by any revival
OF unseemly wrangling over precedence among the
heroes of the early American navy. Barrys fame
is sufficiently secure without any questions of ri
valry or comparison.
Ii was he who as a peaceful merchant skipper,
brought hither from London the merchantmen
Black Prince which under the name Of Alfred
became in February, 1916 the flagship Of our first
naval squadron and put TO under the yellow rat
tesnake flag But Barry was not her commander
in our service.
His first fighting ship the Lexington, with
which, on April H. 1916, off the Virginia Capes, he
captured the Edward the first British warship
taken by Americans. In June he was commissioned
captain and in the fall Of that year with the Eing
ham. while bockaded in the Delaware, he destroyed
five British vessels. In 1777 he commanded the
Raleigh in a memorable running fight with two
British frigates, which ended in his sending her
ashore and abandoning her to the foe
For this disaster he atoned in 1871, when with the
Alliance on his outward voyage to France he capt
ured one British ship and on the return voyage took
two more in single encounter In 1882 he fought
the last naval action of the war-an indecisive
conflict with an unrecognized British ship of the
Florida coast. In 1898, with the now obsolete rank
Of commodore, he commanded the United States
(whose building he had superintendent, with such
afterward famous subordnates as Ross, Barron,
Decatur, Stewart and Somers, and captured two
French privateers Finally, in 1799 he had the
United States as the flagship of a feet of ten, the
Constitution among Them and took many prizes and
battered the forts of Basse Terre.
Beyond all question doughty fighter and great
honor TO our naval annals was this son Of County
Wexford and if there be any oyerzealous partisans
