What do I think of the effects ot
fi Oman's suffrage on tho American
horneT' sold Dr. Anna Howard Shaw,
when asked tha question yesterday.
"There Is no argument which bo greatly
favors the cause as the splendid fact that
it will benefit the home In every way.
We are now living in a republic vrlitro
there are monarchical homes. It will
make a republican home in a republic
and this Is as It should be. It will not
take their women from them, but wUl
make them more contented In them."
said Dr. ShaWTand, with a twinkle In her
rye, "It will make the men behava them
selves as they should."
Dr. Shaw arrived In the city at t
o'clock this morning and was taken to
the home of Mrs. F. A. Brogan, where
she remained until the time of her ad
dress on "Th Constitution ot the United
tSates" at the Auditorium Ht 10:S0 o'clock,
where she spoke before the State Teach
ers' association. Following the address
Dr. Bhaw went to the Commercial club,
where she addressed the men of the or
ganization and thctr families.
"There Is nothing: In whldh I am qtiltb
so Interested as the American homo and
Its future," said Dr. Shaw, as she was
drawing on her cloak, preparing to bo to
the Commercial club.
"It- has not affected tho homes of New
Zealand, In fact they are qulto ideal, and
why should It affect ours In America In
any other way?"
Dr. 8haw leaves for Lincoln at 4 o'clock
and will be accompanied by MIbs Jean
cite McDonald. She will address tho
Nebraska Suffrage association this even
ing In that city.
The noted suffragist said that she was
feeling In the bust of health and that as
the enthusiasm grow In the country for
woman's suffrago so she gained in
xtrength.
Illinois Suffragists
May Divide Into Dry
and Wet Factions
PEORIA. III., Nov. 7. A feeling ot In
tense expectancy brooded over the meet
ing of the meeting of the Illinois Equal
Suffrago association because ot reports
that the association may spilt Into "dry"
and socalled "wet" factions.
Tho nominating committee went to work
on the ticket which Is to be presented to
morrow and which may Indicate the part
ing of the ways. It Is well understood
that Grace Wilbur Trout will bo renomi
nated for president.
Minnie A. Watklns, discussing the situa
tion today said: "Although Ella 8. Stew
art has refused to become a candidate,
she has many devoted followers and it Is
possible some one may nominate her from
the floor. There is a strong demand for
her In certain quarters."
Mrs. Trout and Mrs. Stewart differ on an
important point of organization. The for
mer advocates the present system of re
quiring dues from clubs which wish to
affiliate with the state organization. Mrs.
Stewart holds that the association needs
everything It can get and asserts that tho
factor of dues would prevent many of
them from Joining.
Mrs. Stewart denounced-reports of a de
cisive factional fight. ' "The sensation
mongers." Bhe sold, "are trying to distort
Into a, farce what is really aa orderly
contest to elect the best possible president"
MorganthalerWill
Give His Men a Rest
Women Should Be
Paid for Fitness
. Same as the Men
"Women of this country arc being
underpaid for their work, In comparison
to wages paid men for the same work,"
said Dr. Anna Howard Shaw, president
of the National American Woman's Suf
frage association, before tho Commercial
club" members and their guests nt a
pufillo affairs luncheon at noon.
"What should be done," said Dr.
Shaw, "Is to pay for fitness. Pay men
for fitness and pay women for fitness,
buterect a standard of fitness, whereby
men and women will bo paid equally for
ability.
"The way the government Is conducted
today the good political worker la given
the good position. Women could do this
same work, but they are not political
workers. I wish that It was In my power
to locate n, huge farm In every state In
the union- Then send every good political
worker to this farm and put experts In
ihe employ of the government.
"The whole situation can be sized up
in a few words. Men do not respect
women. Man loves woman, works for
Iter, slaves for her, suffers and dies for
her, but he does not respect her. The
sverago man talks down to- a woman,
lie does not think ho Is combatting brains
v lth brains, as when h talks to another
man.
Man of Great Social Affairs.
"Did you ever notlco a man in a social
Kathering you don't see many there any
more, man Is leaving social affairs. When
he talks with a woman, he Is the most
awkward being alive; he reminds one
of a fish out of water. Tho first thing
lie does Is to get frustrated and wants to
hide his hands, then he wants to hide
his feet, and lastly he looks about tho
place for another man. Then, when he
leaves and meets a man, his whole being
changes'. lie looks the other man In tlm
eye, talks business with him and Is tho
other's equal. That is respect. That Is
what woman wants tho respect ot man.
"City life Is a business and' a social
problem. It cannot be handled by man
iilone. Men and women should combine
their energies and make municipal gov
ernment a success."
Dr. Shaw said that women were the
first workers. Women, she said, used
to do all the work. Now she does not
do It, or man either. She said the differ
once between a man and a woman is that
man gets machinery to do the work that
women originally did by hand. She said:
"Women used to do the weaving, farming,
carpet making, brewing and all other
work. Women used to be able to brow
enough for men but not now."
One of the largest gatherings ever as
sembled in the huge dining room of the
Commercial club was there to hear Dr.
Shaw. Several could not get their lunch
eon there, owing to the crowded condi
tion of the rooms. John I. Kennedy
presided over the meeting.
The University of Omaha foot ball

had several offers to play Saturday, one
with Grand Island college at Grand Is

Morganthaler Is more than anxious that
his players should rest ut. as lin hi.

OMAHA, Nov. 7 To the Editor of Ths
Bee: Considerable aflliatlon having been
current recently concerning moving plo
tutes, their character, methods of han
dling, censorship, etc., a few words carry
ing with them the truth of the situation
of the past and present, should not be
taken as out of place.
It Is true that the managers of the
regular local film rental ngencies have
used their best efforts to co-operate with
the Social Service board In that they
have withdrawn from service nny such
reels or parts of reels as have been re
ported to them by the Socio,! Service
board as bring unfit for any part of the
people ot Omaha to see.
It has also been my observation that
tho Social Service board has seen a
great many of the films that havo been
fchown In Omaha, and but very few (I
believe It Is safe to say less than ten)
of the films handled through the regular
rental agencies that have thus been con
sidered unfit by the Social Service board,
the reason being, no doubt, that all such
films have been passed on by ths Na
tional Board of Censorship and the fact
that a few of our larger cities have local
censorship boards, which boards. In soma
Instances, are decidedly critical, even to
the point of unfairness, and since tho
tamo subjects that are handled by the
regular rental agencies ot Omaha havq
to pass muster in the cities where such
local censorship boards oxlst, It Is
of course, the desire of tho manufac
turers to make such films as are de
manded by the publlo which shall also
be In keeping with what the National
Censorship board and the various local
censorship boards consider proper.
There are approximately 100 subjects
each week handled by these regular
rental agencies. There has been no pub
llo criticism ot any of those films, and
but very little criticism by the Social
Service board. There are, however, In
Kansas City, Chicago, St. Louis New
York and and other large cities so-called
Feature Film companies, and the so-aptly-called
wild cat films that are quite
sensational In name and, In soma In
stances, very sensational In portrayal. In
some Instances these films have been
passed by the National Board of Cen
sorship, but In the majority ot Instances
havo not, although 1 am quite certain
they are at liberty to exhibit these films
before tho National Censorship board,
but. as ts natural, would tu that rase
be eempelled to meet with the ruiulre
munis of the National Censorship board
In o drr 10 secure their lamn of ap-
tl en, mine lliere In a l(KMlt ill
the exhibitors In that locality can make
perhaps more money by the showing of
such sensational film, and should It be
the desire of the publlo and of the So
clal Sertlce board to protect the young
and innocent of Omaha from seeing such
films. It will bo only necessary for the
Social Service board to have authority
of saying to the exhibitors of Omaha that
unless a subject shall have been ap
proved by the National Board of Censor
ship It must before being shown be cen
sored by the Social Service board of
Omaha, In addition to which even films
that havo been passed by the National
Board of Censorship, although It has been
so well proven that ths National Board
of Censorship Is thorough In Its elimi
nation of anything salacious or morally
bad, should any of the five members of
the Social Service board chance to se at
any theater In Omaha a film that In
their opinion Is bad. It will Immediately
be removed from service by the mana
gers of the local exchanges, and am posi
tive this part wilt be taken care ot in
the future, same as In the past, whether
It be mads mandatory or not.
I am certain the exhibitors at large of
Omaha regret the recent unpleasant pub.
llclty and have expressed their willing
ness to co-operate In every way In order
that the Industry may be advanced and In
keeping with the publlo demand for enter
tainment that will be educational, mor
ally uplifting and of popular Interest to
young and old alike,
It has been cited that the local ex
changes wera instrumental In bringing
about the derision of the theaters showing
these outside and wild cat films, which Is
decidedly untrue, even though frankly the
elimination of suoh outside films might
bring a little mora business to tha local
exchanges, but It Is the opinion ot the
exchange men that every one making
films lifts a perfect right 'to the sale ot
his product anywhere, .and It Is up t'j
htm and the Social Service board to se
to It that It be suitable entertainment
for tho moving picture. patrons of Omaha
to see, and the exchange managers fur.
ther believe that It. Is their bu el nets and
the business ot the Social Service board
to see that their films do not coma In
for any part of such public censure as has
been the experience of the outsiders.
It was also strange news to me tt-at
the exchanges were In favor of a weekly
censorship of all films that romc tu
Omaha by the Social Service board, as I
da not think it necessary aud b.llee tli
