SUFFRAGE HAS SLIM
SHOW IN DELAWARE
Leaders Say Only Political
Miracle Can Bring About
Amendments Ratification.

DOVER, Del, March 25.--It ives
generally conceded today that only a
political miracle can bring about rati-
fication of the Federal suffrage amend
ment in Delaware and thus enable
millions of women to vote for Presi-
dent this year.
The suffragists, supported by
United states Senators Ball, OF Della
ware, McKellar. OF Connecticut, and
Sterling of South Dakota, still main
tain that there is a lighting chance"
but they ruefully admit that II is n
slim one at best.
Both sides got n chance today to
air their opinions. Hearings were
given in joint session. Tempestu-
Gus scenes were anticipated when the
suffragists and "antis" come face to
face before the judiciary committee.
II Is probable that the fate OF the
measure will be decided late today.
Governor Townsend said while the sit =
uation Is critical, he believes the
amendment will be ratified.

Keeping Up With

comment.
1t seems that some of Mr..
Brisbane's editorials were
reprinted in an Arabic Re-
view and there came to the
attention of Ettessam AL
Molk, who writes The
Times:
Mr.. Brisbane expresses
the highest ideas in such n
clear way, and deals with
such interesting things and
features, that, 'Chacun a son
gout,' as a French power
SAYS, do consider him as
the best writer OF the pres
cnt time. But for n person,
who is intensely interested
in another's sayings, read
ing two or three articles is
not satisfactory, so

sending you this letter and
asking you four things:

wake up to the fact, that if he doesn t
patronize his own movie houses, run and
controlled by his own race. he needn It
expect the man of the other race to do
SO.
The Lincoln theatre is run On a first
class basis, shows first class pictures that
are seen at the leading Des Moines thea
tiers, and yet they Will pass it up and
walk or ride downtown where they are
segregated.
There was couple made TO stand out
side in the front entrance of a certain
theatre during the entire performance of
a picture because there were two cou-
pies of whites sitting back in the segre-
gated section, and the usher, rather than
ask them move up, or give the colored
couple seats ahead Of them, they refused
their entering, until after that picture
had been shown and these said couples
vacated those seats. Yet the movie
fans will stand such tommy rot rather
than patronize their own theatre where
they are made welcome, and their money
entities them to any seat in the house.
The HLincoln'' is a beautiful theater
