ADJUSTMENTS.
THE OTHER MANS WIFE.
A Play in Which Woman Gets Equal
Rights With Man

Should woman have the same chance
as man? This is the question that has
set the world talking. Many of a scien
tific turn of mind decry the equality, with
the assertion that the brain, like the
body, is weaker than that of man and
not capable of formulating gigantic
projects and carrying her through to a
successful issue. The claim is made
wholly from a scientific basis, and not
from trial, as the woman has never in
her place in the world been put to the
test as man has Therefore it must be
admitted that there is just a chance that
the woman may not only be the equal
of man, but greatly his superior, if the
opportunity is open to her to try her
talents.
In literature she has in many cases
gone beyond the goal of her competitor
man. In art she has quite Outstepped him
Her brain, containing that finer quail
ity of gray matter that science speaks
of, has given her more sensitive compre-
hension of real beauty. Her sense OF
morality is likewise more keen, otherwise
she would not be able to shape the course
of her son in the path that leads to the
Presidents chair; and yet in her great
struggle in life she is in many cases mis-
Judged and condemned by her brother be
cause he has learned from his scientific
research that woman is inferior TO man
and with that misconstructed and great
| ly abused theory he has studied her weak
nesses and in his great egotism of superi
| orlty that science has given him. is ready
/ and willing to do so; and once she makes
a mistake she Is lost. The man can MAKE
many, and still face the world withou
a tremor, but in The Other Mans Wife
right triumphs regardless OF sex, ant
woman has an equal right with man
Every woman should see herself in tn
light of being superior as the author ha
! fully justified her in this play that vii
be seen at the Auditorium next Thursda,
/ evening.

| Is Just and moral. and that the idea
Of eternal peace Is both unjust and
immoral and impossible"
These theories, put Ia practice,
have made of Germany the Cain OF
civilizaton-"h hand against every
mans hand" 10 self-defense and 10
mere SELF RESPECT, America was
forced To strike back. We could not
sit still when we realized that it was
our duty "to be and To remain the
out-spoken moral opponents OF the
present German policy, and OF the
German State, so long as 1t holds this
present policy, and carries on It's
present war. Germany. as at present
disposed, is the willful and deliberate
enemy OF the human race" Josiah
Royce.)
But. If there be any who have not
this larger vision Of the issues of the
war-who are not moved to stake all
on the abstract JUSTICE Of our cause
then let them ask themselves what
self-reSpect as nation demands Of
America. and Of true Americans,
under the treatment we received
from Germany.
When the European war came In
1914, aud while we were still neutral,
what insult was not heaped upon our
self-respecl? The Austrian Ambas.
sador, Dumba, plotted to organize
strikes in our munitions factories, and
to buy up agitators to incite work
men to discomfort. German spies,
now convicted and In Jail, have ad-
mitted that they worked under the
direction of high German officials to
commit acts in violation Of our neu-
trality. Some of these same officials
have admitted the expenditure of
millions of dollars in illegal opera
lions conducted sin direct defiance of
our laws, and in nsolent disregard of
international diplomatic courtesy"
The catalogue of German crimes in
America, and OF German agents
amongst US, while we were still
neutral, If published 10 full. would be
astounding almost to disbelief.
The German acts have startled us
at last to the knowledge that the
nation which permits them without
resentment is NO NATION in that
essential quality of patriotism-self-
respect. Without that quality, we
are but mass of disorganized
peoples, having no influence in world
affairs, and ultimately at the mercy
OF that state which best knows how
to carry on shameless intrigues
amongst US. Germany is that state.

the world from her immoral ideals:
