MOST IMPORTANT WOMAN Is
COUNTRY WOMAN
BY Mrs. Walter Ferguson

A New York writer says that there is no reason
for any city woman becoming careless of her looks
because she is overworked That statement
might be challenged when we think of the tired out
factory and mill workers, and the girls who droop in
who toll in dark and gloomy tenements.
But have you noticed that the person who
lives in city even insignificant one forgets that
there any other earth but those who live
in sumptuous apartments?
When speak of the American housewife we
should keep in mind that by far the larger per cent
lives in the country and in small towns, that the
parasitic woman is very greatly in the minority
one might never think of course, when read
ing the magazines published in the east or when con
ming the columns of stuff in the metropolitan dailies
These generally speak of a certain type. of
women city women, cocktail drinking women, lazy
women movie mad women, bad women. They write
for city womens they solve social problems for city
women; they lecture city women, and this is one
why much Of their stuff is worthless to
thousands of Industrious sensible women who have
to read it.
People who write especially upon women's prob
lens, should to the country for while Then per-
haps we would have less written about women who
pet dogs and neglect children and who buy all their
food the delicatessen shop and dine at cabarets
and perhaps could get intelligent information
about the publicity neglected women who cook and
scrub and raise babies and live useful normal lives
The city viewpoint be the narrowest in the
world, and there is nothing quite provincial as the
ideas OF that who has been born reared in
large city who no other sort of life except
that Of the bright lights. The ignorance of people
like this be quite appalling especially when they
try to discuss learnedly nationwide problems which
include the rural well the urban inhabitant The
country is the important citizen of this
republic. 1t IS time she was getting bit Of notice.

REAL ACHIEVEMENT

Full realization of the mighty changes that take
place during a generation is found in Louise de
Koven Bowen's book called Growing Up With
a City,
Mrs. Bowen is an old resident of Chicago and
her book traces the unfolding of that monster city
from the mud flats of Just one generation ago.
She tells of an early adventure in philanthropy
when she sent turkey to poor family in whose
she had found the mother boiling thread spoos
for soup
A day of so after sending the turkey, Mrs Bowen
called on the family and found the fowl, which was
deader than door nail, dressed in the baby's one
dress and lying in the one bed The family did not
know what turkey was and supposed it some sort
of "a doll for the baby.

A GAGGED CONVENTION

The fear of the little group of bosses who are
running the Republican convention, or any olsclo
sres or exposures is reflected in the rule that no
resolution can be presented by any delegate from
the floor of the convention
These bosses thoroughly understand that there
is deep protest on the part of large numbers VINO
usually vote the Republican ticket against condl-
tions at the Staehouse and especially against the
present party management.
They know that there delegates IN that
convention who would like to insist that the party
management be taken from the hands OF men VINO
have an eye upon the gigantic highway fund.
They know that there is group of editors in
this State editors of Republican papers, who are so
disguised with present conditions that they VIII
no longer turn over their columns to these bosses;
editors who refuse to ecollars and become the
servile mouthpeces of interests which are using
their party to prey upon their readers
They know that there are brave men and women
in that convention who would welcome chance to
take into the open many matters which the carefully
1andpicked committees named by Chairman Walb
will not consider indorse.
So they have applied the old gag rule which
silences the delegate and makes protest or progress
impossible.
The action is in itself complete evidence of the
condition in party affairs which these editors have
vainly tried to correct and against which they are
protesting.
What subject did Chairman Walb fear would be
brought to the floor of that convention?
What matter OF policy did his bosses feel must
be kept away from the delegates who are sent to
represent their neighbors and friends?
Why was it necessary to put muzzes upon the
delegates and bar them from presenting any matter
that has to do with either matters of government
Or party control?
What story will these delegates tell when they
go back to their homes and tell those who sent them
that the convention steam-rollered and gagged?
What must be hidden from public view and from
the family gathering of the party itself?
That action takes away all semblance of a con-
vention. 1t becomes gathering of men and women
who become spectators of the scene unable to speak
unless given leave by those in command
Will they go home and say that they have been
at convention of their party or merely onlookers
at staged farce, where puppets obey the pulling of
secret strings and only those who ready to stand
for all that these bosses want have part?

There is comedy in my next
picture" And 1 ask you about Ber-
mUda onions. 1 liked this Johnny
Hines movie at the Circle this week.
1 gave reasons why I liked it. And
then he tells me this. AN onion
makes you cry, but nobody has ever
invented a vegetable that will make
you laugh
Just between us there are lot Of
people who put the spoon in this
entertainment game And it isn't
soup individual. But there is a
big thought in this man Hines. He
thinks that the country is going for
comedy. lie will give you figures to
prove it,
And Hines is riCjlt, The people
want a laugh. a great big honest
laugh. Even THE Last Laugh" was
not a laugh to many a manager who
counted up the box Office.
The onion will make a man cry
but who can get a vegetable that
viii make one laugh?" So asks
Hines.
The public has wanted to laugh
honestly and real so long that it does
not need an onion or a laughing
vegetable to cause a ripple of ex-
preston.
Hines is right. They. I and all
Of us who sit out I'm front. want
that vegetable of comedy. Hines is
going Il long way toward its dis
covery. In a vegetable is a working
germ of thought. Thought is life.
And so is a laugh. And so is Hines.
And this is Johnny Hines as I
found him in Ace Berry's office with
Ace making a quiet exit: A man
with a laugh in his body. A man
who honestly loves his public. A
man who isn't so silly TO think that
