GOES TO BERLIN MEETING
Leader of the Suffrage Cause Think,
the Time Must Come When Wom-

to Save Public.

New York, May 24.-Among the pas
sengers on the North Geaman Lloyd
liner Frederick der Crosse We're nearly
100 delegates to the international coun-
Gil OF women's clubs, which meets in.
Berlin June 6. Miss Susan B. Anthony
was at the e of the delegation. Be
fore sailing Miss Anthony said:'
I'VE are nearer gaining our point to-
day thar EVER before. We are more
enlightened, out until women can con-
vince their fathers, husbands and
brothers of the Justice of suffrage the
doors will be closed against us, and.
mercy knows When they will be opened.
the old prejudice today. The men of
the country are n mass of corruption.
They form a great ring and don't mean
to let women inside. They don't want
women to know just what they are
sexually, politically OIL financially. But
when women get their own constitu-
ency they can get inside the ring, and
in spite Of the politicians go to con-
gress and not only demand suffrage,
but get it."
The Women "~Repeaters."
Miss Anthony was somewhat indig-
nant over the notoriety given the fact
that two women "~repeaters" We're ar
rested in Denver this week for fraudu-
lent voting.
For" said she. there We're probably
1000 men at that election who voted
illegally, but, of course, nothing was
ever heard of it, but persons who are
opposed to suffrage are only too glad
to get the opportunity to bring oppro-
brium upon m The thing has
never happened before, and a funny
thing about this case is that the woman
who claimed to have discovered the IL
legality suddenly disappeared and was
not there to appear against them. There
was never q time when politically the
situation was so corrupt as now. Not
only in u city and state. but it is
the same the country over. Politics are
interviewer into yer fiber of public in
stitutions n corruption is rampant.
Politicians are only too glad of an OPP
portunity as that in Denver to slap the
s~uffragists, and no occasion, whether
real or manufactured. is allowed to slip
which can be used to rap women in
politics."
In a recent will case in Rochester
Miss Anthony, who was asked to testify
has been quoted as saying that women
didn't know the use of money. When
asked If that meant that women We're
unduly e-Xtravagant, Miss Anthony
said:
Don't Handle Money.

paratively few are, during the lives of
their husbands, so that when the OPP
portunity comes they don't know how
to spend 1t wisely, consequently they
hold on to it. In this particular case
a young woman whom I knew since
she was a child, herself a poor girl,
a man, a distiller, who, dying
a while ago, left her we'll off-at least
with a handsome house and about
100000 a year income.
Never having been accustomed to
the use OF money, h refused to help
worthy objects with which she
was perfectly familiar. AS a conse-
quence not knowing how to spend her
money she held onto it.
II say it only goes to show how
women are. They are
kept in ignorance of their husbands
business situation, have no handling of
money, no dispensing Of charity, only
the use Of a grudging sum, dealt out
for personal needs. 1t is
wonder that when they are suddenly
left with big incomes they don't know
what to do.
ooh, l gave them some digs" said
the veteran ~suffragist, laughing. "and
