WILL THE LITERARY
POWER OF WOMEN DEVELOP

II would appear that the emotional
quality in woman II more or less at war
with her intellectual aims. Indeed u IL
sometimes suggested that where woman
appears follows; that books
by women are mostly confined to love,
are not cosmic In feeling. This is gen.
orally true. for reasons which ] hope
10 indicate a little futher on but II is
not true that books where women are
the chief characters are narrow. Such
novels as Anna karenina," Madame
Bovary." "Unc Vie" Tess OF the dur
bervilles" make that point obvious.
AS "A rule books abou men. touching

art, politics. business, are more power
full than books abou women. But one
should not forget that books written
round ONE are mostly written 10y

In literature than men. we must not con-

Brewery Workers
(By William Koch.)

Many of the Brewery Workers and
their wives, who have had no work since
the state went dry. walked out to City
park on Colorado day. The Brewery
Workers have always liked Colorado and
would like to stay where they have SO
long made their homes and helped to
build up the state. but unless those who
have not yet left the state secure work
of some kind they will be compelled to
leave and seek work elsewhere. Some
people say there is a scarcity of men In
Denver. Let those who say that put
an ad in the daily papers for 1000 men
at 50 per day for eight hours and will
guarantee that inside of twenty -four
hours they will have that number, if not
more.
While at City park on Colorado day
one could not help being impressed with

the entertainers, especially those repre-
senting Lincoln and Washington. and
