nMAHA is preparing to take it
place at a patron of the noble
art of song. The music-loving
citizens of this part of the
earth's geography will no longer
Bled to journey to Chicago or New
Vork from time to time to feed their
hungry souls upon emotions divine,
if this grand opera season proves a
success. Mrs. Florence Whiteside
of the Chicago Grand Opera organ
ization promises that the evenings
of opera will be of quality par ex

princess herself in the triumphal en

CLU
ARE Omaha women awake to
their responsibilities as citi
zens? This question will be
largely answered in the next two
weeks, some of the local leaders
say, by the number of women who
register for the election or Novem
ber 4. The latest registration date
is October 24. Harley G. More
head, election commissioner, says
that those who desire to register
may enter the court house without
passes between 2 and 6 p. m. daily.
South Omaha women may register
at their city hall the second Satur
day before election, October 18, but,
except for this provision, the main
floor of the court house is the only
place for registration. ,
The questions which will come up
on November 4 are the bond issues
of . $5,000,000 for school purposes
and $100,000 for police station. It
is' as yet uncertain what will be done
regarding funds for a new court
house. Should the supreme court
decide that the constitutional con
vention shall be held, the question
will be submitted to electors, but to
men electors only the officers be
ing constitutional, and women's
electoral rights not extending that
far.
Should any other issue arise, such
at a recall election, it will be neces
sary that the women be registered
in order that they may sign petitions
or vote at the election.

Where do the cynict
Come from?
Dear me
From everywhere.
In cynics there is
A fairness
Justice to the great
And small
They see the good
And bad in each
They know both Judie
And the governor's lady
And the souls
From under the skin.
They see the half-good
Adrift on the stormy
Billows of Life
They see the half-bad
Leading church choirs
Or preaching in
A Sunday class.
They see the honest
Shabby and cold
In rags
In want and woe
Thty see the thieves
Proclaimed
In leaves
Of literature
As patriots
And leaders.
Thev weigh the deeds
Of rich and poor
Their motives are assembled
And placed on scales
Of righteousness
That see-saw
Up and down
And finds there is
No balance.
They see the farce
Observe the "play"
With cold and critical eye
Contemptuous and clever.
They think too much
They look too deep
Into the cause
Of ill effects.
From out of the world
Of everyday things
Injustice
Unfairness
And sham
Come our cynics
From everywhere.

Side Lights On Opera
Foreign Music Lovers
and Patronesses.
Opera is now holding first place
in the heart of Omaha and, from
every corner and every class, res
ervations are being made for opera
seats. This proves that not only
the wealthy class who can afford
expensive seats love music and ap
preciate opera, but also those whose
slim exchequers permit of only the
simplest pleasures.
Mrs. Florence E. Whiteside, who
is in Omaha conducting the pre
opera affairs, says that it is surpris
ing how the foreigners in our midst
are rushing to reserve seats for one
or both performences. "They are
coming in groups," she declared,
"with smiling faces. One senses the
fact that these operas will be a real
treat to their souls.
"As soon as the information be
gan to sift through private avenues
that Emmy Destinn would sing
'Amelia' in the 'Mask Ball,' excla
mations were heard from every side:
'Ob, what a treat,' and those who
formerly held two seats bought and
reserved for friends who had been
dilatory in their purchases."
A partial list of patronesses in
cludes: Mrs. R. B. Howell, chair
man; Mesdames E. S. Morseman, A.
V. Kinsler, S. S. Caldwell, H. H.
Baldridge, W. H. Redick, William
Hosford, A. I. Root, L. S. Crofoot,
C. C. George, R. C. Howe, W. W.
Head and Robert Jobst.
This partial list includes not only
representative women of Omaha,
but many of the leaders in music.
