In the Shadow of the Factory
One Woman Who Made the
. British Empire “Sit Up"
and Pay Attention.
She W Mn. Pankhursl. and She Will Be Welcome in America
—the CounlryThat Also Made England "Sit Up and Take
Notice" a Little More Than a Century Ago
■Copyritfbt, 1913.)
We are told that Mrs. Pankhurat, the determined, fighting
English woman, Is coming to America
Good news.
This country will be glad to see her, welcome her, and to
honor her.
Mrs Pankhurst, a frail woman ol middle age, has proved by
her own oourage, and her own acts, the folly of those that object
to woman’* suffrage She has demolished the arguments" that
prejudiced men and milk and water 'clinging vine” women of
fer against justice to women
They said that women ought not to vote beoause they had
not the courage to go to war. they didn't have the warlike
qualities of men.
Mrs Pankhurst showed them that SHE had the oourage to
go to jail.
In addition, she had the courage to starve herself repeatedly
until the Britiih Government did not dare keep her longer in
j*il.
When she came out of jail, too feeble to walk, she had the
eourage—splendid, moral, spiritual courage—to continue her
fight for women a rights and her denunciation of injustice.
Idiots say that woman suffrage is opposed to the home and
the proper bringing up of children
Mrs. Pankhurst is the mother of daughters heroic and de
voted like herself. She has brought them up well, and they, like
their mother, are making a brave fight for womanhood, and for
justice.
Those who oppose suffrage declare—without knowing any
thing about it—that women have not the intelligence to under
stand publio questions, and, therefore, should not vote.
Mrs. Pankhurst and her daughters, and the good women as
sociated with them in the English movement, have proved that
THEY understand public questions, and know how to CON
TROL public questions.
Mrs. Pankhurst, repeatedly arrested, dragged to court,
judged and condemned by a man sitting on the bench, and by
twelve men in the jury box, was able to conduct her own case as
well as any lawyer
And while the men condemned her and jailed her, she made
every arrest, and every Imprisonment that she suffered, the text
of a splendid talk on the rights of women that went all over
England and increased the suffrage movement.
Those that have misjudged Mrs. Pankhurst in this country
do not take into consideration the different conditions in England
and in America.
Remember that in this country you can convert to suffrage
ONE STATE AT A TIME You can gain your States one by
one, making your fight in one place, then another, and thus
spreading,
Bnt in England, all the laws for all England, and for the
whole Empire. ARE MADE IN ONE PLACE, UNDER THE
BIO CLOCK, IN THE HOUSE OF COMMONS
The women of England have got TO MOVE ALL OF ENG
LAND AT ONCE, OR NOT WIN AT ALL.
What do yon suppose the women of America would have to
de if it were necessary for them TO CARRY EVERY STATE IN
THE UNION THE SAME DAY? They would have no hope at
all—THE ONLY POSSIBLE CHANCE WOULD BE TO WORK
AND TO FIGHT DETERMINEDLY AS MRS PANKHURST
WAS DONE
The women of Illinois would not have the right to vote to
day if it had been neoessary that they should carry the whole
United Staten st once
In the United States to-day there are about TWO MILLION child workers UNDER 16 YEARS OF
AGE. Flowers will not grow in the dark; children cannot grow in the shadow of the factory. Give the
little ones a chance in the sunlight. The greater the State, the greater the shame of child labor.
When the Star Comes Back
Mrs Pinkhurfft is a woman of wisdom, of character and
courage
8he knew that for centuries women might remain classed
with idiots and children unless something was done.
SHE HAS DONE IT.
The oourage of that one woman, physically feeble, but spirit
ually a giantess, has made it absolutely certain that the women
of England will vote on every question, and that the great re
form will come while the daughters of Mrs. Pankhurst are still
alive, even though their magnificent mother may not live to see
the day.
Honor to such a woman 8he will be welcome indeed in this
iintry.
PERTINENT PARAGRAPHS
Everyone His Own
Photographer,
Thanks to the
Latest Device, a
“Vanity” Ma
chine.
Sit in Front of It. Ar
range Your Expres
sion. Drop a Coin or
Press a Button and
There You Are.
By GARRETT P. SERVISS
A French inventor has con
trived an improved means of
flattering human vanity, in
the form of an suto-phographic
machine, with whose aid the sitter
can chose his own pose and ar
range his own expression, with
out the intervention of a third
person.
All he has to do is to place him
self on a stool before the machine,
look into a mirror, fix his hair and
his necktie, and graduate his smile
to suit bis mood or his fancy, and
then drop a coin in a. slot, or, if it
is a private machine owned by
himself, touch a button, where
upon the mechanism sets to work,
takes his photograph, develops it,
transfers it. to a card, fixes it, and
at the end of three minutes, de
livers the finished photograph, in
a permanent form, in a box at the
bottom of the apparatus, and is
ready for another pose.
The entire process is effected by
means of a system of electro-mag
nets, and nearly ail the steps are
visible to the sitter, who can
amuse himself by remaining in his
chair and watching the operation
through windows in the enclosing
box.
Lights and Shades as Del
icate as if an Expert
Did It.
The machine also possesses a
system of lighting which imitates
the effects produced by the photog
rapher's shades and reflecting
screens, so that the subject is prop
erly illuminated, and the photo
graph comes out as delicately mod
eled with regard to light and sha
dow as if an expert poser bad
superintended the operation.
Few persons are quite satisfied
with the proceedings of a photog
rapher, or are willing to admit that,
notwithstanding all his experience,
he can choose for them the exact
pose and lighting which they would
prefer, but with this machine all
can arrange such things to please
themselves. One often says to
himself when looking into a mir
ror:
"Now, if I could only get THAT
expression and THAT lighting in
a photograph, how much better it
would be! But I can’t see how I
look when the photographer has
posed me and I don’t know how T
am going to look until the picture
is finished "
It is to avoid this kind of disap
pointment that the invention da
scribed has been made
The pictures are made on th*
regular platino-bromide paper and
lack nothing but the phot.ogra
pher's touching up of the negative,
which often does as much harm «*
good. They are also made on pre
pared post cards.
in its usual form, the machine le
intended to he placed In public
places, like those that deliver
candies, hut it can also he used
without the device of dropping
money In the slot, and then the
mechanism can be set in motion
by simply pressing a button.
Not a Detail, It Seems,
Has Been Missed in
Its Making.
Thus it becomes a private photo
graphing apparatus for the home.
In such countries as France, where
photographs are often demanded
on “cards of Identification" for
many purposes, its usefulness is
apparent.
No detail seems to have been
neglected in the automatic action
of the machine. As soon as it has
been set in motion, a bell rings,
and thereupon a placard appears
before the sitter reading:
“Attention! Fix your expression
In a few moments another sign
appears: “Don't move!"
Immediately afterward* the pic
ture is taken by instantaneous ex
posure, whereupon a third sign
makes its appearance: "Thanks.
The silting is finished. In three
minutes you will find your por
trait in the box at the bottom."
After that, as before said, the
sitter can watch many of the
automatic proceedings of the ni.
chine through the window*
if it is a public machine that i*
used, the sitter's coin remains in
plain sight until the moment when
the portrait is delivered.
Your Coin Comes Back If
the Machine Pails
to Work.
If for any accidental reason the
apparatus fails to work through to
the end, the coin falls Into an outer
bowl and can be reclaimed by th*
sitter So, as the inventor truly
claims, his machine is “strictly
honest." or. as he might hare said,
automatically honest, in which
respect it may be regarded a* a
scientific Instructor in square deal
