"Cheer Up!" Brings
Joy To Many

"Cheer Up!" at the Hippodrome is
one entire city block filled with good
cheer, laughter and wholesome amuse-
ment on a stupendous scale. Its ap-
peal is greater than that of any pre-
vious Hippodrome spectacle and the
crowds whic have pammed the huge
playhouse the past week established
new high mark for attendance in
September and record which will
not be surpassed even during the holi-
day periods, at which time Hippo
drome show has always been consid-
cred "joy forever" Ever day this
season seems to be holiday, however,
as 68,288 patrons in as inble week
prove conclusiely. 1t is difficult to
say whether the comedy features, the
aerial sensations, the patriotic cpl
sodes; such as the Burnside ousa
conception "The Land of Liberty"
the Jungle mysteries, the Aquatic
novelties and the comic opera must
cal numbers with their ensembles of
over six hundred give the greatest
pleasure but the combination of all
provide a colossal entertainment of
undeniable charm and remarkable
popular appeal. Every. one will see
"Cheer Up" this year. New novel;
ties are added weekly. Don't miss it.
Matinees are given every week day.

Shall Thinking
Women Think

In two and a half column edito-
rial in the Courier-J ournal, on the
subject "Let Rejecting Women Re-
fleet" Henry Watterson expresses the
opinion that whether she reflects we'll
or not, man alone should do the vot-
ing.-Nashville Banner.
This is scarcely an accurate-cer-
tainly not complete-expositi of
what was said in these columns. 1t
was neither woman's right to the
ballot, nor her aptitude to use it in
diligently that was dwelt upon-nor
yet mans surprising genius and vir-
tue as a voter-but, on the contrary,
the intrusion into natures laws en-
braced by the Feministic movement
to which Woman Suffrage serves as
but an entering wedge.
The average woman were likely to
vote as intelligently as the average
man. The average woman is in so
many ways superior to the average
man that it is easy to conceive her
admission to the voting booths as an
acquisition. It would be so if only
good and capable women were ad-
mitted. Considered from that angle
the result of an equalized franchise
would be simply to double an cleo
torate already cumbrous and con-
fessedly defective. 1t could nowise
elevate it. The unfit women would
neutralize the fit. Nowhere has the
woman reformed the ballot, or puri-
fled government. Everywhere she has
found and has left politics the cor
rupt thing which man made it.
1t is on womanrs account, not upon
mans that the Courier-J ournal con-
tests the wisdom of Woman Suffrage.
Public affairs can only lower woman
in the scale of private affairs. Poll
tics may degrade woman-woman
will not elevate politics. She that
dabbles with pitch shall be defiled.
The two-to-one result against wom-
an suffrage, just recorded in the
State of Maine, is in some ways a
Knockout blow. Maine, the New York
Times reminds US, is the fourteenth
State of the Union in which woman
suffrage has been voted down at the
polls since 1912. All the shifty poll
ticians "threw their whole souls"
into the campaign for emancipation"
With their persuasive arts and their
sex charm the feminist leaders did
their best to bulge the Down casters.
Former Senator Obadiah Gardner"
the Times tells us, "led, or tried to
lead, the State Grange to the assault
upon chains and slavery. Former
Senator Johnson, former State Attor-
ney General Pattangall, a mighty
man among the Democrats; most of
the Maine members of Congress,
pleaded for suffrage Col Roose-
welt sent his vigorous solicitations to

BASEBALL.
By DIR. Frank Crane.



When A. G. Spalding died at Point
Iona, California, great figure in
the national game was removed. His
name is conspicuous and memorable
in the history of baseball, and no
account of how this game emerged
from the school yard and boys play
ground and became national insti-
tuition, representing vast capital and
and occupying a great place in the
hearts of millions of Americans can
be truthfully written without giving
due prominence to A. G. Spalding.
And one of the reasons why base
ball flourishes in a peculiar way, and
retains from year to year it's hold
upon the masses of men, is that, al
though it is strictly professional and
is managed for money, it remains fair
and square.
The persistent tradition in baseball
is that it is square game. The eyes
of thousands of the shrewdest sports
in the world are watching, yet it is
rare that even the accusation of dis
honesty is brough against nine.
An interesting episode, illustrating
the temper of the baseball conscience,
has been going the rounds of the
newspapers since Spalding's demise.
l quote from clipping:
In 1890, the memorable Brotherhood
year, when the players revolted and
tried to wreck the National League,
Spalding sent for Mike Kelly, who
had jumped the Chicago club to play
with the Boston Brotherhood club,
and they met omen light in the old
Aston House. Mr.. Spalding counted
out fifteen $1,000 bills and laid them
on table.
"Kelly," he said, "you can have
this money if you will sign with the
Chicago Club and begin playing under
Arson at once"
Kelly, who didn't have carfare in
his pocket, looked at the banknotes
wistfully for a few minutes and then
replied:
"Can't do it, Al! You see I gave
my word of honor that I'd stick by
the Brotherhood, and l can't desert
the boys!"
GAIL right, Mike!" std Mr.. Spald-
ing, as he began picking up the
Tll tell you what I will do,
all" exclaimed Mike, with grin,
"I'll borrow a thousand, if you don't
mind. I haven't got cent?"
Mr.. Spalding quickly handed over
one of the bills and remarked:
"Your word is worth a thousand,
Kel! This is present with my best
Wishes!"

Calling Down A Liar.

Colonel Roosevelt gave a luncheon
in his New York Office one day to a
company of young magazine writer's.
These young writers had had many
adventures, and they told the colonel
many interesting stories. One, how
ever, sportsman drew the long bow.
After the sportsman had drawn the
long bow almost to the breaking point
in yarn about hippopotamus, Col
onel Roosevelt fixed his glittering
eyeglasses on the criminal and began:
"Let me tell you an experience of
my own, my boy, an experience al
most as incredible as yours. In '98
was shooting grizzly bear in the
Rockies. l tracked a grizzly to a
high peak one day. I advanced to-
ward it along the edge of a precipice
300 feet high. Getting a good shot
at last, let drive, but missed. The
ming. took aim again, but as l was
about to. fire my foot slipped, l fell,
and my gun dropped and rolled over
the precipice. There I lay, unarmed
and helpless, and the maddened griz-
Ely not six feet away"
Here the Colonel paused, and took
a sip from the tall glass of milk
milk is his favorite beverage-before
him.
The mendacious young man frown-
ed impatiently.
"Well?" he said. "Well? Go on
What happened? ?"
The colonel, looking him calmly in
the eye, replied:
"The grizzly devoured me-"

William A. Nash
On Second Loan

HThe Liberty Loan, by it's very ma

the land and the very best investment
that the citizen can have" said William
that the citizen can have" said William
A. Nash, Chairman of the board, Corn
ment, emphasizing the imperative
duty of all patriotic Americans to
subscribe to the Second Liberty Loan
Mr.. Nash would have this point
kept in mind by all, that this loan
must not fail. 1T is the patriotic
duy of every one," he asserted, "to
put some money into the new loan.
1t is inconceivable that the soldier
will fail in his duty. It is equally
unbelievable that there will be any
hesitation in subscriptions to the new
Loan. Having embarked in this great
enterprise, to falter, to temporize, or
to count the cost, is equivalent to cow
ardice at the front, and the timidity
and selfshness of money should be
regarded as disloyalty. / have seen
many crises that demanded personal
sacrifice and courage, and the man
or institution who has gone whole
heartedly into noble cause has new
err regretted his unsilfishness, and it
is on this basis l urge the full and
freest support to the Government by
generous subscriptions to the new
Loan.
"Let us not misunderstood this
Liberty Loan. 1t is the newest and
the oldest of our securities. Back of
every investment in the country is
the Government. It gives value to
every enterprise and business. There
fore, when it concentrates it's power
and influence in a bond it creates a
first mortgage on every railroad,
every industrial, every municipality
in the country.
