desire to record my judgment against the Suffrage
Amendment to be voted on next Tuesday.
Everybody knows that am not politician though
do feel deeply the obligation Of every citizen to take
an interest in those matters that concern the welfare
of his government It is to be regretted that the Suf
fragsts have forced the issue at this time when the
winning of the calls for the undivided interest of
everybody; that they have done so is in itself reason
for their reputation.
| am convinced the great mass of the women Of Ok
lahoma not only do not desire the ballot, but are op
posed to it. The militant Suffragst is in no
representative of the home-ovng Of the state
and nation. The strength of the movement it seems
Tulsa daily world. [volume] (Tulsa, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1905-1919, 1918-11-03

to me, lies wholly in the ability of few women to make
a noisy campaign and the fear of "a great many poll
ticans that that campaign will succeed. To me- the
thing is fundamentally unsound. The cry "Votes for
women" is not the natural slogan of well balanced
happy American home Many fine mothers desire the
ballot, but do so, l think, mistakenly.
The active participation of ALL women in politics
must tend towards the division of homes and the con-
sequent disruption of society. The family life affords
enough dispute without adding to it the greatest
irrant of all-politics | glad to be advised that
Oklahoma on next Tuesday will record its faith in the
old and best traditions of the country, and that the
amendment will be beaten.

CHICAGO QUARTET
GAVE MUSICAL AS
RED CROSS BENEFIT

The music service given in the
Presbyterian church last evening by
the Chicago Male Quartet was one Of
the finest ever heard here. More than
one thousand persons gathered in the
large auditorium to ear the quartet.
The service was not like the usual :,
sacred concert. There was no APP
plause Of the numbers, and the mes
sage that came from the singers was
like the best of inspiring sermons.
1t was remarked by many who
heard the quartet on their last APP
p%earance here two years ago that it
was as if two years more of singing
had added that much more to it's per-
lection. Mr.. Smith, the basso, who is
often referred to as pipe Organ
smith, is singing Dctter this year
than ever before. He has become ia
nous for his singing of Rocked in
the Cradle of the Deep"
MIR: Frank H. Collins. baritone. the
other end of the quartet opposite
MIR. Smith. is a general favorite with
Grand Forks audiences. His singing
last. night Of Tho Ninety and Nine"
was of the best things on the pro-
gram He sing with fine intelligence
and HIS o n quality, is excellent.
JohntH. Hedgcoxe. tenor. has a
voice of beautiful quality and fine
fexibility. He has clear enunciation
and sings with sympathetic under
standing. His singing of The Be4uti-
full Ikle Of Somewhere will be long
remembered.
Mr.. MacMullen. tenor. sang an aria
from '1saac' which was one of the
most beautiful ~recitatives heard in a
Grand Forks church this season.
1t was not known last night that
the Chicago Male Quartet as it now is
composed was being heard for the last
time The men left last evening for
Chicago and it was not until the con-
cert was over that it became known
that Mr.. Hedgcoxe and Mr.. MacMul-
len are leaving to join the colors. The
two tenors will join the hospital
corps. both having already had ON
training in that line of service. Mr..
Collins and Mr.. Smith are not only
beyond draft age hut also beyond the
az" for. military service. and they will
still sing. doing all they can to help
win the war here at home.
Last nights offering was tnken for
the benefit of the Red Gross and will
net nearly sixty dollars for the filing
Of comfort hays for the soldiers. The
r,en contributed their services to this
ra'~intic cause.
Reverend Lornthan Watson and
revererd w. n. Elfring conducted the
con+e was at the organ and PLAYED the
regular numbers as we'll as the ac-
compartments for the quartet.

Out There,


In these days of degenerate drama
it is refreshing to note the extraordi-
nary success Of "Out There" a, play
built upon the happenings of the
present: moment and dealing with the
here and now. Those who 60 to the
Metropolitan on Monday, April 1, are
promised 2 .performance which rings
so true that returned soldiers who
have lived through the scenes depict
ed upon witnessing the play have for
gotten that they were witnessing
mimic life and have from their seats
in the theater addressed the charac-
ters upon the stage. Every man or
woman who has a relative or friend
at the front should witness this per-
Torrance as it is filled with inspira-
ton and patriotism, CHEEKY wit and
unctuous humor. It is a laughing per-
Torrance from start to finish. In fact
there are more laughs in it by fifty
per cent that there were in peg o.
