is asked because the fate Of the
Democratic party in Kentucky
depends upon the white women
voting. z~=z-et
We believe we can answer
this question by saying that
they will. 1t is a reflection on
women's intelligence to think
they will not vote. ~a..<
They realize, as well as the
men, the Importance of their
voting. They know that the ne
gro women will vote, and that
all the criminal classes will vote,
and therefore they realize the
Importance Of going to the polls
and casting their ballot.
Women are as patriotic as
men. This was manifested in
tther great war in Europe. 1t
was manifested again last week,
when the Polish women were
armed and fought side by side
with the men to save Poland,
and they did it. In the Civil
War the sacrifices and the suffer-
lings the women, endured for the
Eeause they espoused, was as he.
troic aswas the men who fought
at Shiloh and Gettysburg.
Women have an intense sense
of loyalty. Look, for instance,
at their attendance at church,
compared with the men. tits a
sense of duty which takes them
to church when they have more
to keep them at home than the
men.
The same thing which makes
a woman faithful to her church,
and in time of war makes her
faithful to her country, is the
same sense of duty which will
take her to the polls in Novem-
Der.
We believe her intelligence
will teach her the obligation to
vote and her sense of duty will
find her at her post on election
day. We know that women are
as smart as men, and, therefore,
we believe that the same thing
which takes the men to the polls
will take them. We know that
in the discharge of any obliga-
cation women are more con-
scientious than men, and there
fore every intelligent woman
would regard herself a shirker
if she stayed away from the
polls.
AS good government follows
good men controlling the cleo
ton, so bad government follows
bad men controlling elections.
With women given the right
to vote, they realize that if they
stay away from the polls and
permit the $4,000 negro women
in Kentucky to control the cleo.
ton in this State, that they are
responsible for the ills which
may follow.
This country must be ruled by
its intelligence and its integrity,
and not by the ignorant and il
literate classes, if the Republic
survives, There is not an in.
telligent woman in Hardin coun-
ty who does not understand this,
and if she does not vote it will
be because she is locked I'D at
home and can't get to the polls.

Artistic Dancing
BY Mr.. Phlpps

An appreciative audience assembled
last evening in the High School AS
sembly Hall TO witness the dance re-
cital by William Rodgers Phipps. Mr..
Phipps, who is a devOtee of the art of
interpretative dancing. gave a very
artistic presentation of the Egyptian
art,especially In his dance descriptive
of Cleopatra, the sorceress of the Nile.
His presentation of Salome, whose
dancing before the King made him
promise half of his kingdom" and
who gained by il the coveted head of
John the Baptist was wonderful in
depreciation of this peculiar art.
Mr. Phipps also depicted the
Chinese dance in all its weirdness. He
has made careful study of the art,
which shows painsttaking care as to
detail in the portrayal of the descrip-
tive in terpsichore.
His piano accompanist was Miss
Elizabeth MunToe. whose skill and eff
fciency greatly assisted the dancer in
his evolutions. In the audience were
number of art critics. with whom Mr.
Phipps found favor and commentator
in his portrayal of the aesthetic.
