BH Jitowtw of the forty-elehth annusl cn
Tjsjjfcm ot the National .Amsrlcsn Woman
Mi Association to "show th men" a.
. tsassf or two alraut "expressing opinions."
to atalnst "shesp" policy and "follow
MW'Uader" attltudea In conventions.
In a rttscuslon which arose today when
the women were planning- to adopt rcconv
saMtdstlons of the extcut ve council en
!, without discussion, Mrs. Tooiood arose
tot Irs and Midi "I object to taklnc the
Xttey just as it U handed to us, without
tftseueslon. I want the members of fho
"Mivfit:on to discuss the questions and
tMnk for themselves. I spent two days at
tM National Republican Convention ond I
it much Impressed with tho way the men
tMtowe their leaders Just like sheep, t
have no doubt that the women on our ex
tlve council show splendid Judgment, but
nevertheless I want this report discussed,
so that we all know Just what we are' voting
, tor."
Partisanship does not pay In trying; to net
uffrsie, according to western -women, who
have repeatedly explained this from the
Boor of the forty-eighth annual convention
ef the National American Woman's Suffrage
Association.
These women who have been voting side
ty side with their brothers and husbands
In the western States declare that the mem
bers of the organisation In session hers
must keep out of politics If they want to
get the vote for the rest of the women of
the Nation, either by State or Federal
Methods.
Mrs. Walter McXab Miller, of Columbia,
Mo., made a special appeal on this point
before the convention, saying:
"We western women' are for non
partisanship. For that reason both parties
ere working with us. We realize that much
depends upon what the women of the West
do. We know that what the women of the
Weut do toward making the homes of their
families the best and the happiest In the
nation wlfl have Influence on whether suf
frage carries In the rest of the country.
The voters are watching what the women
of the enfranchised States are doing and
we know It"
Suffragists spreading the message of
votes for women bv the rialdtn piur mih.
ou. in tne automobile which Is touring the
nation, are suffering real privations, ac
cording to the statements of Mrs. Esther
O. Odgen. of New Jersey, third Vice pres
Idont of the national association. Sho
says the women were on the border making
speeches at the tlmo of the raids and had
a narrow escape, and that they had to be
towed out of rivers during the recent floods
In the Southwest.
Dr. M. Carey Thomas, president of Bryn
Mawr College. Is playing an Important part
In the proceedings of the convention. She
has made a number of Important motions
which dealt with leclslatlon of th mi..
ventlon. Her most Important role so far
has been the work she Is doing In helping
Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, the national
president. In getting the resolution on the
future policy of the association on the Fed

MRS. DELAND WRITES
LEGITIMATE SEX NOVEL
and
SUFFRAGISTS REJECT
PARTISAN RESOLUTION
Continued from Pace One.
Mr, Wilson has as steadfastly held to the
8tate rights Idea.
Whatever chanoe the resolution ever had
to pass was due to the championing by
Mrs. Robins. She almost convinced her
hearers that there was no partisanship
In her resolution at all, and that It was
really nonnartlssn end whnllv nrn.Rnfrrnc-A
Shi expressed her sincere belief that frcaU
uem ivuson woum cnange nis mina on
suffrage by "State right In favor of
Federal grant." Just as ho had changed his
Blind on many other things, onco the suf
fragists exerted pressure.
tfOCTOH SHAW OPPOSES
Mrs". Catt presided over tho debate In a
manner to excite the admiration of any
expert chairman. There were attempts to
amend tho resolution and they were lost;
there was a trial to havo It postponed In
definitely and It lost because the conven
tion was determined to meet tho Issue
squarely. The trend was fixed -when Dr.
Anna Howard Shaw asked the floor.
With her usual Inclslvenesn, sho said
that no matter how you Interpreted Mrs.
Itoblns' resolution It was antl-Wllnon, She
predicted that to pass this resolution would
defeat suffrage In several States next elec
tlon, and said dryly, "Wo are a woman suf
frage society, and not a Federal amend
ment society."
L-fc. " ----...- .Wn .... utL. WiWi
SBaW -b virtually repeated her earlier
speech. Thero were only a few scattering
yes for the resolution.
The convention had gone on record as
being not partisan.
The debeate that preceded the vote was
notable. Not elmvt the convention began
has there been su-rt Interest excited,
Speeches were limited to two minutes
and the discussion went on for more than
two hours, at It Is easily seen how many
took part. Every debater of prominence
hd something to say Many announced
their political affiliations, especially from
the voting States In the West, and Doctor
Kate W, Barrett, of Virginia, even an
nounced that she was a Democrat when
he didn't have a chance to be a Progres
sive and vote for Theodora Roosevelt.
SATI11B AND SAIICASM
President Thomas, of Bryn Mawr Col
lege, sided against the resolution as did
another Pennsylvanlan, Miss Hannah J.
ratterson. of Pittsburgh, recording secre
tary. She was one of the staunchest de
fenders of the present policy.
Satire and sarcasm found a place In the
debate. There was real need of the guiding
hand of Mrs. Catt. Once In a while there
came a relieving note of humor such as that
from Mrs. Harriet T, Upton, of Ohio, who
wanted to know why the women talked of
supporting anybody when they aren't able
t win anything to- support.
Robinson McDowell, a male delegate from
&6ulsvlll, hoped the women would continue
to exercise "their. Indirect Influence" and
maintain their nonpartimtnsnlj).
Doctor Lovejoy, of Colorado, said that
to pass such an antl-Wtlson proposition as
the resolution by Mrs. Robins would rt
dargerously on tho suffrage cause all oven
iv niuiHIt
Ther were plenty- to spring to Mrs.
Xoblns's support. Mrs. Hepburn, of Con
necticut. sald the crisis was at hand, and
unless tho suffragists meant to use their
power they might an Well disband. She
considered It suicidal not to pass the resolu
tion. All of Mrs. Roblns's Illinois delegation
were not with her.
Mrs. Bass called the resolution the most
partisan ever presented In n suffrage con
vention. Thus It went on from before 11 o'clock
to 1, p. an. The resolution had been one
of many Introduced when the hour for
political policy had como up. but when
It was found that It presented the Issues
cleanly It virtually singled Itself out for
the question.
MacMillan Remains in Greenland
BATTLE HARBOR, Labrador, Sept 8.
Tho Qrenfell Mission schooner George B.
Cluett, which went to the relief of the
Donald B. MacMillan Arctic expedition In
July, 191B, has returned here. Only Cap

MacMillan, Dr. E. O. Hovey. who led the
relief expedition, and the other scientists
of the party elected to remain for a time in
the northern part of Greenland.
"Tho Rising Tide" Rings True.
Neither Morbid Nor Salacious.
Other Enrly Fall Fiction
Magaret Defend has written a sex novel
In a proper sense of the term In 'The Rising
Tide" (Harper A Bros, New York). Of
course a novel of the sort commonly classi
fied under tht, term sex Action could by no
stretch of Imagination be associated with
the creator of Helena Richie and Dr.
Lavendar, Her new book is equally, of
course, dsvold of the salacious and tho
morbid which have been the hire and bait of
the sex novels of malodorously recent mem
ory. "The Rising Tide" analyses, with keen
Insight Into psychological processes of the
modern woman, a gin 01 toaay.
"The Rising Tide" contrasts three genera
tions In their Ideals and manners, the
grandmother of early Victorian type and
mother of later Victorian tendencies and
the daughter, freed ot all the Victorian
trammels. It is plain spoken but never of
fenslve. It Interprets with unerring accu
racy and superb powers Just how the mod
ern girl looks on life's problems It reveals
relentlessly the modern girl's thoughts and
It exposes all the limitations of the modern
girl's philosophy.
"The Rising Tide" Is a careful inter
pretation of femininity In flux feeling, seek
ing, striving. It Is a noel of maturity,
good Judgment and good taste. Good style
Is to be taken for granted In any work of
the distinguished author of It.
"Making matches and mending hearts" Is
a quotable characterization on the Jacket
of "The Bird House Man" (Doubleday,
Pare & Co.. Garden City. Long Island).
Walter Prltchard Eaton's fall novel. That
la the mission In life of the gentle and lova
ble titular personage. His story Is nar
rated In the leisurely, gracious stylo that no
other present writer of stories seems to
have In the charm and abundance of Mr.
Eaton's possession of It. New England
village life, of which Mr Eaton Is some
thing of an observer, not to say connois
seur, since he shook the dust of the New
York Sun's theatrical sanctum from his feet
and strode Into the pleasanter paths of the
Berkshire hills, furnishes the environment,
the contemporary manners and the atmos
phere. Tho plot In not Involved, but It has
Its moments of suspense, not of event, but
of characterisation. Just what turn will a
character take Is the fascination in 'Tha
Bird House Man," not what exciting Inci
dent will pile a thrill upon Its predecessor.
The Interesting title character is a fabri
cator of bird boxes, n dabster at ornitho
logical writing, a lover of the little brothem
of tho air and the wldlngs of the field, and
nbovo all a finely natured friend of youth.
There Is n full sweet llaor of sentiment
and a specific romance of the bird man to
crown the pervasive romance of It all.
Birds of passage from Zenasvlile, Ohio,
to the centres of European culture are tho
trio of glrio prefigured In "Children of
Hope" (the Century Company, New York),
Stephen Whitman's new novel. Their
father, n modified sort of Wltklns Mlcawber,
like Dickens's character Is longtime a failure
at various and sundry businesses, but
eventually "makes his pile," and this gives
his charming, educated, good-looking daugh.
ters their chance In life. Above all clso
they are artistically aspiring. The fine
atmosphere of Old World cities Is the set
ting they desire to bring to fruition the
seed of their talents. Out of this material
Mr. Whitman has written a good-humored,
satirical story which conceals some canny

but not H'-natured crltletam of Americans
under Its Ironic term. It It written with
an Informed pen and a pan that Is not alien
to distinction ef style.
Fannie lteasllp Lea does not recreate the
New Orleans of George W. Cable, and her
new novel "Chios Malons" (Little llrown
A Co.. Boston), Is not of a par with "The
arandlsslmes," but It Is none the less and
excellent piece of fiction ot the modern
type. The heroine, for whom the book Is
named, has the old-fashioned graces ot the
Southern girl of ante-bellum days, but her
story Is set In our time and cannot help
but lack the quaint and exotlo atmosphere
of the Creole romances of Cable and others
of an earlier school of American novelists.
The story Itself Is not lacking In Its own
charm of telling, Mrs. Lea writes felici
tously and fluently. There Is substance In
her paragraphs. She can device and con
trol situations. The big situation In "Chloe
Malone" Is that of a girl of the line breed
ing of the Southland, who has to choose
between marrying money, which Is lacking
among her assets, and a sctentlst who, as
an entomologist, looks with scorn on so
ciety butterflies. This Is slender plotting
material, but Mrs, Lea has woven the
ancient tale with new skeins ot color and
fabric, and the tapestry of fiction under
her loom has chirm and distinction. There
are pictures of the old French aristocracy,
relics and relicts of which are part of the
Crescent City, and there are interesting
views of the conventions and manners of
New Orleans of the present piping times
of push and progress.
Do you bellee In ghosts? Are you fond
of supernatural mystery? Are you gripped
by tho fascination of detective skill? If the
answer Is yes to theso queries, there's
abundant opportunity for gratification of
your tastes in perusal of Wodeworth
Camp's "House of Fear" (Doubleday, Page
& Co., New York). The way the ghost Is
laid by the enterprising Mctlugh, manager
of a theater supposed to be haunted by the
pplrlt of Its vain, jealous and vindictive
former director, dead and gone forty years,
with the connivance ot a malign and fero
cious cat. Is a certain delight to believer
and skeptic alike In the unraveling of this
yarn, which Is pervaded by a welrdness that
daunts pretty nearly everybody In tho Btory
except Mctlugh. And even this doughty
person Is stumped nt various times In his
relentless hunting of the "spook," which
eventunlly Is banished from the theater and
prcMimably sent to Jail.
Craig Kennedy, scientific detective, whoso
exploits in the solving of criminal and
other problems have won him n largo fol
lowing among the readers of magazine Ac
tion and stirred envy in the breasts of the
common, or garden, variety of real life
sleuths, has blossomed forth In the pages
of a book from the press of Hearst's Inter
national Library Company, New York. Ar
thur n. Iteeve's hero Is seen trlumphnnt In
a scries of adventures under the title of
"The Social Gangster." The cplsodo In
which this undesirable person finds himself
undone Is the flrst of a score or more de
tectives stories, every one of which offers
some new nngle from which the Indomitable
Craig Is enabled to demonstrate his mar
velous scientific knowledge and superhuman
sagacity In bringing evildoers to confusion.
GREAT WAR STARTS
POETS A-BATTLING
Gibson and Viereck Contrasted
in New Volumes of War-
liko Verso
LARGEST OLD BOOK STORE IN'AMERICA
Wars make poets, and poet" wars, said
some sententious philosopher; but one does
not usually associate with such a reflection
a vision of the bards themselves In open
combat Such, however. Is the scene pre
sented to the mind by two books of recent
printing Wilfrid Wilson Olbeon'a "Uattle,
and Other Toems" (the Macmlllan Com
pany, New York), and Oeoige Sylvester
Vlereck's "Songs of Armageddon, and
Other Poems" (Mitchell Kennerley. New
York).
Not that Messrs. Viereck and Gibson
frankly oppose each other as champions of
two nations. Probably they are unaware of
the contrast their volumes offer, a contrast
which must seise on every render. For
rarely were two poets more unlike In soul-
color, In style and In Integral matter. Mr.
Gibson, rediscovering the method of Indi
rection which describes mutely the act by
tho background, paints terrible little can
vases on which are shown, not tho blood
spray and the tearing shell, but homely
things left behind the sick cow, the family
at tho peat Are. the early peas, the leaping
daffodils, the whiteness of lambs' fleece. It
Is a method replete with chances for n
misstep; but Mr. Gibson Is so sincere and
so calm an artist that when he does break
through his self-placed limitation he some
times Is better than his more vivid com
petitors. Some hardy nnd bright sonnets. In
particular those on Itupert Ilrooke, nnd
two or threo lusty lyric songs aid In making
his book dear to memory.
It would be agreeable to praise equally
the more tangible and conventional modes
and attitudes of "Armageddon." Now and
then there Is In It, Indeed, a. flaih ot color,
n waft of perfume, worthy of tho man who
