Willyou give me space in your paper
TO say few words TO and Of that intelli-
gent (H) person from Meade, Kan.Y lie
says women are ignorant. Well, perhaps
they are, but the most OF them can spell
such simple words as (nufD enough.
Now wouldn't ii be we'll for him TO avail
himself OF some Of the superior advan-
tages he boasts men have? If he will
send In his name / will send him one Of
Webster's spelling books, and also
child's grammar He may find them use
full. How bright and consistent he is.
After saying women are 80 ignorant he
says: "They are looked up to and respect
ed, and should be thankful for their high
position" Indeed, ! should think 1t
would be hard for men to run the gov
ernment II none Of them had any more
brains than this fellow displays. He
said truly when he said, "less people
know bigger they feel" 1t will apply to
him splendldly.
How glad and thankful the editor must
be to have some one to put him on the
right track, 80 he will not espouse the
equal suffrage question any more. Now
let me ask a question or two. How does
lt come that man has the right or power
to give or withhold the ballot from

in man alone2 Was it handed down to
him as Of old the ten commandments

IN MRS. LEASES DEVENsE.


To tho Editor OF che Wichita Eagle
Having seen some adverse criticisms In
regard 10 Mrs. Mary T.. Lease, OF your
city, beg 10 state that they are entirely
exags rated Mrs. Lease spoke TO q
crowded audience at Albaughs opera
house. She was cordially and enthusl-
astically received, often interrupted by
voolisrOuB applause. A few partlzan
friends Of Mr.. Ingalls, attempted TO show
their disapproval by hlsses, but we're
drowned by rapturOus applause by the
large majority
Mrs. Lease on the day OF her address
visited, in company with me, the capitol,
and was introduced by me TO several
prominent Senators and members Of the
House Of Representatives. Mr. Ingalls,
crossed our path on his way to his COM
mlttee room. i left quite abruptly Mrs.
Lease and addressed the ex-senator
thus: "SenatOr, there is a lady, one Of
your constituents, at the capitol; would
you like to meet herr" Mr.. Ingalls, smll-
Ingly consented, but | thought II would
perhaps be better to let him know who
It was and l said "I presume you have
heard OF Mrs. Mary E. Lease, Of Kansas2'
AT the mention Of that name Mr. Ingalla
thrust his hands Into his trousers
pockets and replied emphstlCally al do
not care TO meet that woman; only In
dlans and women will scalp man after
he is dead"
! bade him good morning and Joined
Mrs. Lease, and reported TO her the above
conversation. She in turn most emphati'
Cally wished II TO be understood that she
never desired to be introduced 70 Mr. In
gals. Thus, Mr.. Editor, my rather too
previous good offers Of introduction Of
these two distinguished persons and OF
such opposites In nature and politics
found me in a rather awkward position
which can be easier imagined than de-
scEibed.
Mrs. Leases success was we'll deserved
and she has made many and warm
friends here in Washington. Several Of
the delegates here from other cities have
extended 20 her most cordial invitations
to address the SorOsis ln New York city
and the several associations Of progress
slve women In Boston.
MrB. Lease has been also elected vice
president OF the WOmen's National
