MARY SHAW TALKS |bSEN
But Oswald G. Willard and Miss
MiIhoIIand Urge Suffrage.

Miss Mary Shaw says II is woman's weaks
ness STILL IN spite of ell the talk about her
emancipation, to do Just as some man says.
II hate TO confess IT." she told a large
and well dressed audience OF women yester-
day at a meeting at the Hotel Gotham
called by the Womens Political Union.
Il hate 10 confess II. because I see a man
or two in the far corners here. But it Is
true. II It is question OF play, now. and
some nice man says: oh. really you must
not see that It is unwomanly. the heroine
Is morbid. neurasthenic; you had better not
co. we say: Why, Of course"
Miss Shaw was down to speak on woman
suffrage, but she declared she could not
think of anything to say about II. because
she had never been able to see that there
were any arguments against It So she
talked about the drama and Ibsen's mes
sage TO women.
"Ibsen," she said, has done us ths great
service-he has told us to stop being slaves
to duty.
Everywhere a woman goes some one ix
telling her Of duty she owes society or
the church or her husband or her child, but
until Ibsen came no one ever told woman
that no duty can be paramount to the duty
bHo owes HeIstll'
Oswald G. Willard In brief speech paid
his compliments to President Taft and to
Colonel Roosevelt
Several years ago" he said, "Mr. Taft
said he would be in favor OF giving the
ballot to women when every woman In
the land wanted IT, What a statement for
a statesman to make! II things went by

a long time to be elected President OF the
United States"

he observed, Offered some time ago to bet
a large red apple that the doughty colonel
would soon be coming out for woman sur

thousand women now possess the right TO
vote for President
II gather that Mr.. Roosevelt is willing
TO give the vote to the nice, Intelligent at
tractive, charming women Of his ac-
ouaintance, but for heavens sake he
cries. don't put it in the hands OF the
women who don't want It"
Miss Inez Milholland, when she get Up to
speak, took a poll OF the audience as TO
suffrage sentiments, and about twenty con-
fessed to being antls One Of these asked
Miss Milholand why she was suffragist.
I'VE women are suffragists,' she an

the misery, the chaos, the unnecessary
poverty I'm the life around US, and we want
to do something about It, and we know Wa

CLASSIFIES THE ANTS
suffragette Tells Why Some
Women Shun Votes.

Whats the matter with the womenr
No. this is not an Information bureau
for disgruntled husbands or the Associa-
ton OF Unemployed Lady Cooks. This
question arose in the minds OF sundry de-
voted workers for the cause OF woman suf-
frage when they at last allowed themselves
to realize that all women were not with
them II the women weren't for suffrage,
what on earth was the matter with them
It was a big subject. but one doughty
suffragist. Mrs. Henry Alvord Robinson.
OF YOnkers, had courage TO tackle IT. She
gave the result Of her Investigations yester-
day afternoon at the meeting Of the Will
| lam Lloyd Garrison Equal Rights Asso-
ciation, at No. $50 Madison avenue. The
first failing OF women she had discovered.
she said. was the superiority felt by mar
ried women, especially mothers toward
spinsters. II was hopeless for an unmar-
ried woman to try 70 convert her married
sister, because OF this barrier Of arro-
gance raised by the latter. 1t was the old
story, every time. of the Irish woman
whose drunken husband beat her and
starved the children The Sister Of Char
fly who came to relieve her distress said,
by way Of consolation:
Never mind, Mary; things might be
worse
Yes" answered Mary. Faith l might
be like you and have no man at all"
The next failing Of women was seen in
tho comfortable class, the women who
have all they want and don't care about
those who perhaps haven't-the kind OF
whom a contemporary poet sings:
| have everything | want.
For the vote I need not try.
And she stood for ant-i-suHraSS,
With the ACCENT on the Il"
The ignorant women who opposed sur
frage Just because OF their ignorance were
the most hopeful class from the suffragists'
point Of view. because these had no preiu-
dices. 1t was planting In virgin soil.
The most hopeless woman was the snob-
the woman who opposed suffrage because
she didn't want to be on the same level
with her washerwoman. Other types OF
antI-suTragist classified by the votes for
women missionary were:
The sentimental ones. who made her sick
The stupid ones, who had TO be carried
along on the books like a standing debt
but were a negligible quantity.
The women actutated by selr-interest
who were afraid to antagonize men.
The weak and silly women, who felt con-
scientiously that they weren't capable or
independence.
The women actuated by religious motives
who interpreted ST. PauPs remarks lit
orally.
