PROLONGED AND ANIMATED DISCUSSION on RE-
PORTS AND REPORTERS, WITH A LITTLE
SUFFRAGE THROWN IN.
Miss Anthony, in a new black velvet bonnet,
a nice black SILK dress, and coquettsh striped wrap,
invited TO take the chair at yesterdays meeting
These meetings she said have all along been called the
National Associations Now 1t is rather anomalous
They are under the auspices OF the Executives
Committee OF the N W. S.A but IL not proper TO say
that they represent the entire Association We certainly
have Mt right to vote upon questions which are sub
mitted to the Association as whole have received
many letters from distant members demonstrating
against this being called the N. A.. they did MT
want to feel committed to many of the views
advanced SO we are thinking Of organizing NewiOrk
city Society TO be composed Of the city members of the
N A. In reference to the meetings being called those OF
Miss AnthOnys Association" Miss Susan remarked that
she didn't think any harm intended. She con-
sidered 1t acknowledgment that she power, and
she much obliged But she didn't like the idea Of
the papers not giving much credit to her compeers.
She never had any occasion to find fault with reporters
not even those Of The Cieretdnd Herald who mstook
her make better speeches-"put IN more com.
mon sense than l think do myself Inc
tons with which to write up her minutes She probably
teit that those miserable reporters had nabDed em
with untmey zest.
Mrs. Blake said that tho Association response
Bile for all the resolutions read before IT, No matter how
about our refusal to adopt them Anybody reading the
papers cursorly would think they adopted IL reso
luuons should be read introducing black night and old
chaos, 1t would be all the II should bring In
resolution saying that, whereas all men yrants, We
members Of this Association, on the ls OF January next
will pledge ourselves to the murder OF rhusbauds
and all, u would be the same She referred to the
cune meetings "OyercOat Conveutlonsr II all comes
rom NE iop condition Of CONAN, tchteh nothing dh REM
Mrs. Halock didn't agree with Miss Anthony on the
subject OF reporters s1e thought reporters never say
women reporters there we'll men-women who thus
falsliy their she understood that there was
and BOTH she thought, fallen Stars She didn't
generally read their reports but friends had handed her
slips from them occasionally. She SAID that she thought
many OF the reports were garbed IN the offices, and
perhaps public taste demanded that style. But for
their sakes she adured the reporters present to try
TO tell the truth. She inquired they couldn't do some
thing 70 raise tc tone OF public opinion Sne ha Deen
SO ncensed over these reports that she had lately gone TO
bels lie had tod her MAT thew were but that il wasn't
worth while notice them. she Thought that thus
the and that perhaps she big fool TO care any
thing about them so she had concluded not 10 % 10 lac

from the beginning and so, he thought, because
wOmaus and shoulders were not so strong as man

Miss Anthony thought that what woman needed was
change the fundamental ideas upon which society
based What upon is the idea, not the individual
We can't newspaper reports 20 De any better IMAM
