WAS COLUMBUS LAST MAN THAT CAME TO AMERICA? < By SELENE ARMBTONO. »•••••••••••••••••••• Dr. Emil Reich, the eminent Plato- nlst, la at present quite the fad In leondon fashionable aoclety. So popu lar are his lectures on the absorbing themes of love und woman that a suf ficient number of seats cannot be pro vided for the accommodation of his audiences, and at a recent talk the duchess of Portland sat on the floor ns she listened to the Infallible and eru dite verdicts which fell from the lips of the oracle. Dr. Reich has made some extreme statements. It Is true, hut none until recently which received n challenge. We did not quite agree with him when he said that George Sand, one of the greatest geniuses of any age, was just an uninteresting and unattractive wo man. but we overlooked It. We did not create a sensation when he de clared that "the facilities fqr divorce in the United States are an important factor In the beautification of Its peo ple." We did not dispute the matter when ha spoke of the "notorious angu larity" of the North German woman and when he ungallantly dubbed her an "uncharmlng person," nor did we raise objections when he gave It as his sol emn opinion that the American woman has the moat beautiful complexion In the world. But, In view of his recent discourse on the unw’omanilness of the American woman, patience ceases to be a virtue and peace at any price would be Inglorious. Said Dr. Reich: "I say emphatically that the American woman is not wo manly. She Is not a woman. The whole of the United States Is under petticoat government, and man is prac tically non existent. In America woman commands man. Man does not count there. The last man that came to America was Chris topher Columbus. Today man has no existence; he does not count In the ^rawing room, but Is a dummy. The woman lives one life, the man another, and they are totally distinct from each other. The Spartan woman, am I have remarked, was like the American wo man of today. She never dreamed of lovers; her IdeA was nothing less than conquering man." Coming from ah obscure source the foregoing words could not be, for a moment, taken seriously, hut as the opinion of so eminent a scholar and thinker as Dr. Retch, they must com mand our attention. Such an accusation Implies that our men are effeminate, and a nation made up of mannish womep and effeminate men must come to a speedy and in glorious end. "A woman Impudent and mannish grown," quoth Shakespeare, M ls not more (to be) loath’d than an effeminate man." That our women are such, that they have submerged the natures and In stincts with which God endowed them, and have usurped distorted attributes of the other sex, we believe no man who has more than a superficial ac quaintance with American life will as sert. If. when he says that the Ameri can woihan Is unwomanly, Dr. Reich means that her sphere is no longer in flexibly bounded by the walls of her home, however narrow they be, he Is correct. The American woman recog nises in the problems which she meets In the administration of her own household the problems of the Ameri can home. She feels In the need of tier own child the need of all children born Into the world. Through wifehood and motherhood, or through the ceaseless aspiring and outreachtng of her own womanhood, she enters Into kinship with the world, and "nothing that Is I - alien to her." So, she is actively interested In every question that pertains to the public good. , In economic and soclnl reform, In charity, in religion, she is co-operating with tho sterner sex—co-oporatlng so Intelli gently and efficiently, that the Ameri can mnn Is the first to accord her recognition. "In America women command men," walls Dr. Retch. He forgets that in no country of advuncod civilisation do men •command their women. We blush- tngly admit that American manhood has exalted American womanhood, and has made it tho privilege of the Amer ican woman to command so long as she Is discreet enough not to let him know that she Is commanding. * Like tlie* Spartan woman, the Ameri can woman "has never dreamed of lov ers;" like the Spartan woman’s, her sole idea "Is conqnering man." Well, now, eminent doctor, l shall not say what wo dream about. On this side of the water we'don’t huve to tell. Ah to ruling men, you will recall that in ancient times a woman of another country said to Oorgo, the wife of Leonidas, "You of Lacedaemon are the only women In the world that rule men,” and with the words of Leoni das’ wife the Amertcun woman answers you proudly, "We are the only women that bring foyth men." mr. urn ouuiim, ui Lwuimunii with Mr. W.
