schedules of the new imperial tariff
against American goods, thus averting
a tariff war with the United States, is
the climax to protracted interchange
Of correspondence between Secretary
Root and Ambassador Sternberg, in
which Secretary Root has achieved his
first great feat Of pure diplomacy.
The success of the State Department
in obtaining for another sixteen months
equal consideration in the German
trade with other governments that have
made great concessions to obtain the
minimum tariff in Germany, without
any amelioration of our schedules
against German goods entering this
country, ranks as one of the notable
works of statecraft in several decades
of the recent history Of the American
foreign Office. Had Secretary Root not
| already given ample promise of being
a diplomat of the first class, he would
now be hailed as the new stellar light
in international politics.
All Done in a Month.
Only month before the action Of the
reichstag, the German government was
still apparently memorable in it's posi-
ton that the maximum rates would be
enforced on March l.
In the light of the reichstag's action,
at the earnest solicitation of Chancellor
Won Buelow, one might be led to think
a colossal bluff had been attempted, and
pushed to the last m..nent by Germany
But this, it is understood here, is moi
the case. The seed of education as to
the result of the tariff war, which Mr.
Root had been sowing, did not sprout
until within the last few weeks; Their
: its growth was rapid.
Realizing that Mr.. Root was thor
oughly familiar with all the premises
and sound in his understanding of what
the results would be of any course pur
sued by Germany, and that he coult
not be shaken from his position Of
} polite regret that no concession was
} possible at this end of the wire, the
German statesmen quickly went tt
: their reichstag, and had Legislation
passed deferring the trouble.
Had the department here shown
, signs of hysteria, or had Secretar!
, Root not fully appreciated the severa
angles Of the case, or had he made ex

Great Courage to withstand Rebuffs

1t required great courage to under
take this work at the time and in the
manner she did. But she possessed
that requisite and exercised it on
many occasions She never faltered,
never lost heart, though she was con.
stantly subjected to ridicule, calumny
and opposition. Few women were
brave enough to follow her in those
days. In 1852 she addressed a large
convention of men teachers. A clergy
man who was present complimented
her afterwards.
"You spoke ably and WE'LL" he said,
"but had rather see my mother
and sister dead in their graves than
to hear them speaking from a public
platform"
Increasingly she preached the doc.
trine Of woman's suffrage and equal
rights. Few, even among women them

Miss Anthony's Remarkable Bal
tie against RidicuIe and
CaIumny.

Susan Brownell Anthony was born
sc years ago in the Hicksite Quaker
settlement at South Adams, Mass, and
was as quiet and gentle and obedient a
little Quaker maiden as any OF her
playmates in that tranquil spot. Her
life was uneventful until she took up
teaching and went out into the world.
She was 26 years old when she made
her first fight for the right OF suffrage
1t was for the right to vote at tenn.
perance meeting which was dominated
by young men. The Sons of Temper
ance were holding convention al
Albany, N. Y. and the Daughters OF
Temperance were invited to meet with
them. Susan was one Of the Daugh'
tiers who accepted the invitation. Ear
" in the proceedings the young women
discovered that their position In the
convention was purely an honorary
one. The men did not propose thai
they should have any voice In the pro
ceedings. 1t was against scripture
and against her natural sphere thai
woman should raise her voice in the
councils of men, were the arguments
of the men in answering the protests
of the women and in refusing theil
petition to be allowed to vote.
Suddenly tall, slender Quaker CIR
arose from her seat and, followed b!
six others, marched out of the convent
ion hall. The leader was Susan !
Anthony. 1t was her first rebellion
against that order Of things which
gave men a monopoly Of power. Sh'
Immediately set about organizing the
Women's New York State Temperance
Society. That was the real beginnin,
of what has been her life's work Il
which the central theme has ever beel
caual suffrage for the sexes.

very name became term of derision.
She was caricatured, insulted, jeered at
and maligned. In the early days of the
movement Womens Rights was the
ed home duties for rabid political
tendencies and for unwomanly women.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton was Miss
Anthony's earliest ally. Together they
conducted one campaign after another,
seemingly making but little Roadway
at first. They travelled all over the
country, going from place to place in
open wagons, stage coaches or what
ever other conveyance was obtainable,
and from door to door on foot They
endured many hardships and were sub
jected to insults innumerable. People
said of them that Mrs. Stanton made
the balls and Miss Anthony fired them.
She proved her good craftsmanship by
making every ball count.

Miss Anthony was arrested and fined
for illegal voting in 1872. She had
cast ballot at the election. She never
paid the fine. Since then four states
have granted the right of suffrage tC

right to vote at school elections, and
New York permits women taxpayers tt
