made in Erie county. and a petition
was filed in commou pleas court in

chairman of the county committee.

he said he would continue the fight
in the congressional districts was fol-
lowed by Warren G. Harding. Fo--

the senior senator recognize the drift
of things and will retire reluctantly.
The announcement OF the senator is
only postponement of the final sur

ty-one congressional districts and to
allow Secretary of War Taft to have
the four delegates at large without u
contest, is the plan of campaign sug-
gested in an interview yesterday by
United States Senator Jos. B. Foraker,
who arrived home yesterday from
Washington on business. He main.
tains that the call for the State con.
vention is Illegal and therefore he will
not take part in the selection of its
delegates.
After declaring that there had been
no "overtures of peace, either to or by
him." he said:
$50 far as the State convention is
concerned, have not changed my
opinion that the call for it is illegal
and unjustly burdensome. On that ac-
count, as have heretofore announced.
I shall not make any effort to comply
with its terms and conditions, nor will
my friends make any such effort, ex-
cept only as their local condition may
prompt them to do so.
"of course, the delegates selected to
the State convention, will all be for
Taft for there will be no opposition.
This does not apply, however, to the
congressional districts. They are not
under the control of the State central
committee and are not bound by any
thing the State convention may do.
Each district will elect its own dele.

The chancery suit is the final dispo-

GRAND JURY MAY LOOK
INTO COAL COMBINE.
Asked TO Investigate the New
ark Exchange.

IL is likely that the present grand jury,
which is Sheriff Harrigan's first, and has
Mayor IsaacS hoenthal, of Orange, as It's
foreman, will inquire into the alleged
methods and operation of the Newark
Coal Exchange, the local trust in black
diamonds. Efforts have been made to
get former grand juries to get busy
along like lines, but they bore no fruit.
Last years Legislature also appointed
a committee to investigate and dead
ashes and cinders We're the result.
That the members are held together
by a threat of forfeiture of $500 If they
break the rules of the exchange, whose
chief object, of course, is to keep UP
the price of coal, is an open secret.
The substance of the matter placed
before the jurors is that the exchange
is a combine to regulate trade n es-
tablishes a price regardless of the cost
OF coal at the mines and the cost of de-
livery, and that this, in the eyes OF the
law, is a criminal conspiracy.

Present Industrial Conditions Cause
Race Suicide and SaUery of the Wife
The More a Woman Is Her Own
Mistress, the Better Her
Home Life Will Be.

Neither the conditions of the poor home
nor of the rich home tend to a joyous
and complete maternity"
Continuing her argument, Mrs. Gill
mar paid her respects to the imam
ruled home" declaring it a survival of
the old patriarchal form, "a vehicle Of
masculine power and pride"
1T was indeed for long their sole
vehicle" she said. TT produced it's
ethics, It's codes of honor, its series of
religions, its line-of political develop
ment through tribe and clan, princedom
and monarchy, it's legal system in
which all personal and property rights
are vested in the man, and its physical
expression in the household of servile
women. 1t is from this period that we
derive u popular impression that the
family is the unit of the state, that the
mar is the head of the house, and other
supposedly self-evident propositions"
Many other aspects of the subject
were dealt with by Mrs. Gilman. She
laid stress upon what she believed were
the evil effects of the economic depen-
dence of women, one of the chief re-
suits of which she pointed out as the
unnatural phenomenon Of the idle
1.-THE man, whose sex relation spurs
him to industry, and whose exceptional
powers meet special reward, then pro-
ceeds to shower gifts and pleasures Upon
the woman he loves. That man shall be
a good provider' is frankly held to be
his end of the family duty. a most es-
sential condition of home life. This re-
suit, as we so frequently and sadly see,
is the development of a kind of woman
who performs no industrial service,
produces nothing and consumes every
thing; and a kind of mar who subor-
dinates every social and moral claim to
this widely accredited first duty'-to
provide without limit for his wife and
children.
''Tbese two home conditions-the
enormous tax Upon the father IL he is
poor, together with the heavy toll Of
the mother. and the opposite one of the
rich mai maintaining n beautiful para
site-have visible and serious results

Mrs. Charlotte Perkins StetsOn
Gilman Speaks Frankly on
Marital Relations.

" ERE are ome things said by Mrs.
Charlotte Perkins Stetson Gill
man, of New York, in an ad-
dress to the American Sociological
Society, the American Economic Asso-
Eiation, the American Association for
+, Labor Legislation and the American
Statistical Association at Atlantic City:
"a woman slave is not a wife. The
more absolutely a woman is her Owl
mistress, in accepting her husband and
her life with him, the higher is the
grade of love and companionship open
TO them. Again, the economic depen-
dence of the woman initiates against
a true marriage, in that the element Of
the economic profit degrades and COM
mercializes love and SO Injuries the fam
lily. It may be said that the family with
the male head cannot exist in a pure
form without it's original concomitants
of absolute personal ownership and ex-
ploitation of woman.
"Nhcn the ownership is no longer
that of true slavery, but enters into the
contract stage, when marriage ecomes
an economic relation, then indeed 1t IS
degraded. Polygamy is a low form or
marriage; but as modern polygamists
have held it at least tends to preclude
prostitution. The higher marriage
toward which we are tending requires
a full-grown woman no ones property
or servant, sclf-supporting and proudly
independent. Such marriage will find
expression in a very different home.
"Our children die most numerously
during the years of infancy when they
are most wholly at home. AS to repro
duction. we have shown the effect on
that, and as to improvement of the
human stock we have shown that 1t
does not keep pace with material prog
ress. We need a wise revision of do
nestle conditions in the interests OF the
child. At present II man who has a
home to let. be it room, apartment or
house, prefers his tenants to be without

for the benefit of children.
