Ballot or We Won Marry You, Is
Mrs. Belmont Defin Suffrage War

way, I ave worked out among SOM
of the wage-esrning women in whom
have been interested what all womer
can work out for themselves on a larger
scale as soon as they get the ballot and
learn how to use it.. This is what ]
have done, but first, let me tell you why
l did it.
Il noticed that marriage often
wrecked lives l saw girls who were
happy when they were supporting them
selves, become unhappy when they be-
came the servants of their husbands
So l IA up my mind that l would
try to help them change this condi-
ton
She was asked what she did.
Il urged every woman never to sur
render to any man her financial inde-
p%endence. And whenever a girl told
me that somebody wanted her to marry
him / always advised her to accept
him, if she cared to, only on one condi-
tion--that she be permitted to con-
tinue to earn money and keep what she
earned. The men invariably objected
to 1t at first, but after a years trial
were only too Willing that it should
continue. And the women, naturally,
saw the great wisdom of the PLAN
Working women who take my adj
vice never have but one, " or three
children-perhaps none. Why should
they have more? Tell me what COM
fort most children ire? They are a
care and a source of anxiety; and when
they are grown. they don't live for
you, they live for themselves. They
are not to be blamed. 1t seems to be
a law of evolution that each genera
tion shall live it's own life"
Mrs. Belmont was asked what she,
personally, intended to do to compe'
men to treat women fairly.
We'll, one thing 1 am going to help
do" she replied, lis to see hat no mar
runs for the Legislature without hav-
ing his record put before the people.
That is to be a part of the New York
woman suffrage campaign. The city
will be divided into districts, and
women will camp on the trail Of every
candidate, speaking to those whom he
wishes to make his constituents-tellins
them what kind of a man he is. New
York Is a pretty badly governed city,
| Men are to blame for it,
She was asked where she expected
to get the facts with which her women
are to attack male candidates for pub
lie office. She said there would be nj
trouble about getting ammunition. She
had influential friendship friends VIII,
knew things. They would keep this
Nwomen going.
That sounded a good deal like war
Generals who wiz battles talk that
way. Yet here is an astonishing fact

to win anything except preliminary
skir,njshes. She does not believe any

MR.. TAFT'S POPULAR
ITY IN THE BALANCE

the tariff put the first chill on the popular favor that had sent Mr.
Taft to the White House by an enormous majority. Much was
confidently expected of the President in tariff revision, Tor much
had been promised. and the outcome of his efforts was a new tari1
almost as bad as the old. The cordial relations established Will
Speaker Cannon and Senator Aldrich was another surprise, while
the Endorsement of the policy of Secretary Ballinger, of the interior
department, which appears to be organized in a way hostile to the
conservation of the nations natural resources, has awakened a feel
ing of dstrust. Compromise is well enough when it does not
smell surrender. The compromise on the tariff was a surrender.
A compromise that shall mean the partial sacrifice of great
national interests to private greed would be worse than sur
render. The coming session of Congress will, however, test the
real strength of President Taft. Issues will arise next winter that
TO the people admit of no middle ground or compromise. Will
President Taft be frmer then than he was last summer, when he
Joined lSldrich and Cannon to enact a tariff bill that was a gross
breach of faith with the American people?

we Will Have Nothing to Do
with Men in Any Way" Mill
tant Leader Declares.

MFRS Q. Fl. p. BELMONT is a
IVA woman of great wealth. She was
born in luxury, bred in luxury, lives
in luxury still. AS the wife of William
X. Vanderbilt. one of the richest men
i'm the world, she became the mother
of the present duchess of Marlborough.
She probably knows as many queens
and princesses as she does poor women
barring the ones who work for her.
Yet, she has become an avowed
suffragist. Why?
ITO get the ballot for women, is
the obvious answer.
But is 1t an answer? The ballot, in
itself, amounts to nothing in the hand
of either a man or a woman. 1t is
only a means to an end. In Mrs. Bel
mont's case what Is the end? What
does she hope to accomplish? What
does she want women to get? What
does she want them to get rid OF?
Questions along this line were asked
Mrs. Belmont. She replied that, for
n thing. h wanted women of a
higher type and to rid themselves of
slavery. She was asked what she
meant by the writer in Pearson's Mag
azine.
II mean" she replied, that both law
and custom compel most women who
marry to accept the worst end of what
so often proves to be a bad bargain.
Take the average young couple who
have married. What has the man
given up? The free use of his own
money? Not at all. In a wife, he has
secured a very cheap housekeeper who,
at a slightly increased cost, provides
than he ever before had in his life.
Has he given up his independence? In
no sense. He is still free to go and
come as he likes, to have whatever
aimes he pleases and to enjoy himself
in such manner as he may see fl. He
has lost nothing by matrimony.
but a woman who has married.
what has she not given up? Sac has
reiipquished every shred of independ-
ence that she ever had. She works
harder than she ever did before, but
gets nothing for her work except her
living. With no independent income,
she a never spend a dollar until shs
has first obtained It from her husband.
MANY women are soon tied down
with children so they rarely see, the
outside of their own walls, and by the
time their families are reared ma off
their hands they are oftentimes too
tired and broken down to care whether
they get out or not
But how would woman suffrage help
this condition" she was asked.
How would it help IL? In q small

for sixty years. 1t is, unfortunately, not uncommon for people to
be elected for nonpayment of rent, and such cases always invite
commisseration, but in the particular case in which today the
woman bids farewell to the familiar walls there was no question
of rent. The great public, represented by the Essex Park Com
mission, needed the property for public purposes, forced the owner
and lifelong occupant to sell, and gave her notice to quit. So she
will go forth today, and in bitterness of spirit will shake the dust
of New Jersey from her shoes and abide in a foreign land. But

eminent domain is essential to progress and betterment.4 The
world cannot wait upon the inchnations or convenience or selfish
ness or sentimentality of the individual.

sYfe Of Passaic water and be a buffer between the East Jersey Com
pany and the law was incidentally exposed in the hearing before
yice.Chancelor Emery in the proceedings by Paterson to restrain
the East Jersey from taking water at Little Falls, from whence IL
furnishes all the water that the subsidiary dummies sell for the
benefit of the East Jersey. 1t was characteristic of the monopoly,
also that If should seek shelter from the law behind the munich
palities. "The towns should not be deprived of their water. To
do this would be an injustice" exclaimed the East Jersey counsel.
But. as the vicechancelor pointed out, the towns, II their con-
tracts ae voided, can get water by condemnation. With private
monopoly ended and out of the way, the towns can abundantly
care for themselves by cooperation, and the Chancery Court will
give them all the time necessary.

CAMDEN'S RIVER
TUNNEL QUESTION

projectors will be compelled to comply or the franchise will go to
the Pennsylvania railroad. The tunnel company says, it got an
unconditional franchise from Philadelphia, but the gang in con,
trOl of that city does not let a valuable consideration go without a
big price. The truth is that the company paid privately into the
gangs pockets for the Philadelphia end of its franchise. But the
gang could not give a guaranty for the New Jersey side of the
Delaware, and there's the rub. The company declares that it will
not build a tunnel under the conditions of the ordinance passed
by the Camden City Council. Camden can afford to wait.
