Lizzie Bates. who is about seventeen
years old. testified that her sister Grace
was two and a half years old and was

physician was called. she said.
We do not believe n doctors or medi-
cine that is WHY a physician was not
called We believe prayer in faith will

PHILADELPHIA. Feb A.-The star
guest at the annual reception of the
Pennsylvania Women's Press Associa-
tion in the Hotel Walton was Mrs. Belya
a. Lockwood. of Washington, one-time
candidate for President on the Woman s
Rights ticket. Mrs. Lockwood is a mem-
Der of the executive committee of the
International League of Press Clubs.
Few women have gained more prom
inence in public affairs than she. Adj
mitted TO the bar in Washington in 1874.
she has practfced continually ever since.
She Is the only woman to be admitted
to the bar of the United States Supreme
Court. and the only one to be nominated
for President OF the United States.
Before the six members of the Phila-
delphia Womens Press Club, the dele
gates from upstate towns and guests
of the association. Mrs. Lockwood de-
livered an address on Women in Public
Life" She believes all women who are
fitted for it and have the inclination
should enter public life
'Of course. some gomen are not
adaptable to public life. Just as some
men are not. but all women should be
trained in some profession or business
so that they can take care Of themselves

As a defender OF women's clubs. to
many Of which she belongs. Mrs. Lock-
wood felt impeIied to strike back again
at former President Grover Cleveland.
who declared in a magazine article some
time ago that wOmen's clubs are ruin
ing the home life of the nation.
If President Cleveland thinks that
by throwing his pOnderous form against
the wheels of progress he can stop
them. he is mistaken she declared,
and continued:
The club IS the wOman's college. It
is a place for the exchange of informa-
uon and an opportunity to study for
the women who have not time TO attend
a school or college. In oIden times our
mothers went to tea parties OF quilting
bees or mite society meetings and gos-
siped their time away without learning
anything of usefulness. Now they at
tend club meetings and gain knowledge
which is invaluable.
''As for President Cleveland's opinion.
I don't think much of it. But 1 should
like very much to have the opinion Of

on this subject TO be made public. -
In her practice at law Mrs. Lockwood

manner of speaking, in conversation as
we'll as in public address. She has

featured face that contrasts strongly
with her soft grey hair and womanly

Likes Mormon Idea.

On the question of race suicide she
says President Roosevelt is partly right
and partly wrong in his famous admoni-
ton to American women Said she;
If the conditions be favorable !
think it is the duty of every young
woman TO marry and have children.
But, manifestly, there are some women
who should not nave children. and
there are some men who should not
marry. The need is not SO much tC
have a greater number of children, a
numerous quantity without regard 10
quality, but TO have children born and
reared under the most favorable con-
ditions for their health and growth,
physically and mentally.
Il rather like the Mormon idea in re-
gard TO motherhood and the rearing OF
children. The Norman woman believes
that her future spiritual welfare de-
pends on her becoming the mother of a
good number of children and caring
for them properly. Sne devOtes her
time to their care. II travelling through
Utah 1 have never seen a scrawny,
sickIy or uncared-for child"
Mrs. Lockwood was asked whether the
acquisition of business knowledge or en-
trance into a profession, which she rec
ommends for all young women. would
not unfit them for the duties of home-
making and motherhood. She replied:
Not in the slightest degree. If a
woman who has entered a profession or
business decides to marry she can dis
continue work and devote all her time
10 the home Then, if through death
or any other cause she be thrown upon
her own resources. she will be able TO
support herself Marriage is the most
uncertain thing in the world. A woman
may not have an opportunity TO marry
or she may be robbed of her husband
by death.
Many Are Helpless.
The most helpless creature in the
world Is the unmarried woman who has
no means of making her own living,
who does not know how 10 do anything
useful We see thousands of them in
Washington seeking government posi-
tions. and their incapability is appel-
ling "
