Man Not Equal to Wife in Bust
ness World.
Race 1etterment League Debatsrs
Place MaseuiInlty In spsndthrlft
class-can't Use Money
Inteiiiaently.

Chicago.-Woman as compared with
man in the business world is not only
his equal. but vastly his superior.
Women can and do succeed where
men fail. Give woman a business edu-
cation, and she will displace man In
any line of business which she
chooses to follow.
These were the sentiments ex-
pressed at the regular weekly meeting
OF the Race Betterment league.
The subject under discussion was.
Are Women Capable Of Handling
Money in Lump Sums?"
Mrs. Minona s. Jones, president Of
the league. said: 1T is an insult to
women that they should be questioned
as to their ability to handle money to
q good advantage. The laws are wrong
when man is given superior power and
control through the privilege OF the
ballot and men show that they desplse
them of the privilege and opportunity
to invest their own money. Much do
nestle discord Is caused because wom-
en- have money in the home and won't
give 1t to the husband to squander
foolishly, when he himself has DEM
onstrated that he is not fit to take
care OF it."
Mrs. Mary I. Engler. vice-president
of the organization, was asked for her
opinion on the subject and spoke
sharply and to the point.
Are women capable Of handling
large sums? Well" she asked and con-
tinued: II should say they are. Take
for example Mrs. Hettie Green. Helen
Gould and Mrs. Mollie Netcher. 1t is
a fact that most of the palatial homes
that we have in this country today are
built through women's frugality and
ability to handle money with discre-
ton"
Rev. Mrs. H. NJ Mulleneaux of Ra-
venswood, demonstrated mans in
feriority to women by instances of
poor men marrying wealthy women.
"Is 1t not fact" she asked. that
when a man marries an heiress. as
soon as he has gained control of her
fortune he will run through 1t as soon
as possible and leave her practically
penniless?
