Womankind.

|
Effie M. Kantor in the Register
and Leader: The coming years will
continue to bring with them the try
outs Of conclusions between the OPP
ponents of suffrage and those who
feel that it is the one thing alto
gether necessary for the advance
ment of political Righteousness in
America. In the babel of voices
which arise for and against the is
sue, there is occasionally the voice
of the woman who feels within her
breast wave of rebellion against
the thrusting upon her of duties for
which she was not created.
Woman was not born to rule by
force of reason nor sway of power
such as the ballot brings, she may
have a vastly more powerful rule.
By all the innate subtleties Of the
sex, the softness of a more compell-
ing power than that ever brought
by domination, she holds the well
fare of the race in the hollow of her
hand. "Her right'-she has but to
breath her ambitions and they are
fulfilled. Does the sculptor envy
the hammerers of brass? Should the
moon envy the sun? Each in it's
separate sphere fills it's separate
niche in the sublime order of the
Creator and woman seeks to usurp a
position where she will defeat her
own purposes, when she seeks the
ballot.
There is a mystery surrounding
woman which no living man has ev-
err understood or penetrated. Her ca
pacities for love and hate, for for
giveness and revenge are unfathom-
able to man. In these lie her pow
er. In that eXultation of spirit in
which the generations of the world
are nurtured before the light of day
is given them, she exhibits a power
so wonderful, so magnificent, that it
the generation of all man
kind. She stands nearest to God
her, He reveals His spirit
to men. "Her rights!" What more
could come to woman than to be the
instrument of divinity. Half of
mans ambitions, desires, inclina-
lions and warnings are given him
before his birth, by a woman: the
other half are formed by his associa-
ton with womankind before he is
Did enough to cast vote. With all
his weight of responsibility, has
not enough? She is the re-
Tealer of destinies, the subtle go-be-
,ween, through which men seek the
infinite. There is nothing higher
han exalted womanhood just now
IN the pinnacle and to move-some
If us fear-is but to come down. The
same amount of conservation and
ervent service to the real purpose
If woman, now expended upon the
'ause of suffrage, would help to Gre
tie better world. When every
consecrates herself to her
lome-her husband and her chill
lren in the light of intelligent love
md service, she has given to the
world something higher than her
'ote. She has cast her vote in re-
Llity, and has multiplied it many
lines.
Some women in this America of
'urs, even Iowa, are desiring moth
ng in the world more than to see
be womankind. and not
ose her inestimable power by imi-
ating mankind.

HOW THE R|NCL|NCS
STARTED THEIR SHOW
First Performance Was at McGregor,
Iowa, the Home of the Boys,
40 Years Ago.

When the special train tool
aboard crowd Of people at McGreg
or the other morning bound fol
Ringling's circus at Postville, there
were among the number those who
had seen the Ringlings give their
first show forty years ago. Though
1t is generally supposed that the
Ringing circus started at Baraboo,
Wisconsin, where the company now
makes it's winter headquarters, Nc
Gregor was in reality the early home
of the Ringlings and their first show
was given there. 1t was about the
smallest show that ever exhibited
under canvas. ...
The elder Ringing in early days
was in the harness business in Nc
Gregor. AS his boys grew up they
helped their father in the shop. The
old residents remember them as quiet
young fellows whom no one expected
would ever do anything in the
world. AS boys, though, they were
in the habit of giving circuses in
their back yard Saturday afternoons.
These were considered by the neigh
borhood boys and girls little more
alluring and exciting than any 9TH
er back yard shows.
It was while they were employed
in the harness shop at McGregor
that the brothers made the decision
to launch forth in the circus bust
ness in earnest and so it happened
that they gave their first show in
the home town. One Of the old-tim-
ers gives the following account of it:
''On vacant lot in the rear of a
drug store they pitched their tent.
1t was fully thirty-five feet in diam
eter and was held in place by ropes
contributed from the clotheslines in
the neighbors' back yards. I know
this to be fact because I got into
the show on pass for contributing
one Of the clotheslines. There were
three performers. Two were on the
parallel bars, but AL Ringing was
the star. He balanced on his chin
a pillow which had been borrowed for
the occasion. The exhibition was
limited to one performance and that
was in the evening. The orchestra
was made up of one fiddle and the
fiddler knew only one tune.
1.-THE show went from McGregor
across the Mississippi river to give
its second performance at Prairie du
Chem, Wisconsin. Three old fiat
boats a trifle larger than the ordin-
airy river skiff carried the company
and all it's equipment, and the Ring
ling Brothers did the rowing"
