MRS. GILMAN URGES
CAUSE OF SUFFRAGE
'In humanity there is no sex-'

''In humanity there Is no sex!'
1 wish 1 could convey in cold type
something Of the resonance with which
Mrs. Charlotte Perkins Gilman. feminist.
author and exponent of human achieve
ment, flung that sentence at an audi
ence of several hundred women which
gathered in the Woodward & Lothrop
Auditorium this morning. And those
several applauded vigorously in express
ing their approval.
She doesn't say ordinary things. She
doesn't tickle the vanity of anybody,
not even women, for she strikes fear
lessly at all our pet foibles. But she
exercise 10 a great many of us.
This amazing woman dares come
among us and tell us things like this:
We hammer into the minds of our
children ideas about men which are
brand new; we hammer into them ideas
about women which are 20, 600 Years old
We have changed our ideas since the
beginning of the race about our relig-
ion, our trades, our dress; but our atti-
tude toward woman has remained the
same. We are obsessed with the fact
that certain portion Of us are men
and that the remaining portion of US
are women. FEMALE beings, rather
than HUMAN beings.
Mankind Inherits Race Brain.
Men have taken all the human ac-
tivities unto themselves as their own
special prerogative and have relegated
women to sex processes exclusively As
a result of this attitude the male of the
genus homo is far ahead of the female
in human development. Much confusion
hs followed as a result Of the desire of
cational and political freedom We do
not desire to be like men. We merel;y
want to meet them on an equal basis Of
Eeman equality.
We should try to be patient with
woman's desire to be considered a
human being. Mankind inherits a
race brain as well as a race COM
plexion.
For centuries mans brain has kept
separate his human activities from
what he considered the realm Of
woman. There is a tiny bridge con-
Meeting that section of hsi brain with
which he accomplishes things in his
man,made mani world. and the things with
which he associates woman. This an
mex he divides into two stories, the
upper to consist of wife, mother,
daughter, romance, pretty clothes
all the pretty allurements and his So
called chivalrous ideals. But in the
shame of the other women that man
has kept degraded to minister to his
own pleasure for centuries.
TO when he sees woman bobbing up
in the larger field of his own activities,
quite part from either section in his
centuries-old mental classification, he Is
naturally quite shocked.

Of Respect Relative To Death
Of Judge CfitChfiGld
Adopted By Knox County Bar
Association On Tuesday

A meeting of the Knox County Bar
Association was held Tuesday morning
ut nine o'clock out of respect to the

finite and unfathOmable wisdom, has
called from the scene of earthly activi-
ties Charles Edward Critchfield, long
an honored member Of the bar of Knox
county, and three times a judge of the
probate court therein, and
Whereas, it is fitting that the mem

profound feeling of sorrow which his
death occasions
Now, therefore, be IL resolved, That

scrupulous lawyer, a conscientious and
fearless judge, Il steadfast friend, an
old school gentleman, n loving husband

ACID
Swallowed By Lafayette
Dexter OF Front St.
But Not Enough Taken To
End His Life
No Cause Given For The
Attempted Suicide

An unsuccessful attempt to take his
life by swallowing acid was made
by Lafayette Dexter at his home on
East Front street Monday evening. He
managed to swallow a small portion
of the fiery liquid, but did not get
enough to cause the desired result
He was improved Tuesday morning
and will recover.
At about o'clock Monday evening
Dexter went into room by himself
and produced a one ounce bottle of
carbollc acid. He drew the cork and
let some of the poison pass down his
throat. Whether or not he changed
his mind about drinking it or whether
he was unable to swallow the liquid
is not known but little, If any, reached
his stomach. A physician was called
TO the home and antidotes were ad-
ministered. His face, mouth, and
throat were badly burned, as far as
can be ascertained, he is not burned
to any extent, Internally. His act was
committed without any warning to
members of the family and was en-
tirely unexpected.
No motive for the attempted sui
eide is known. He does not discuss
his action in the few words that he is
able to speak but, 1t is said, he had
been drinking heavily and 1t is be-
lieved that his general condition of
mind and body as a result may have
had something to do with his rash
act.
