AN ANTI ENTERS PROTEST
1.-THE Injustice to Women Of the Suf'
frage Movement, She Says.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Those who believe that II Is an
injustice to women that they should not
be allowed to vote will laugh at the sub
caption OF this letter, but let US consider
the question.
The last census gives the number OF
women of the voting age In the United
States as AoOo,ooO. or this number those
who as sufrragists desire the vote amount,
according to the Woman's Suffrage So
ciety in this city, to 100000. Now. II we
subtract 100000 from 2i,000,0oO we find
that there are 2l.0OO,00o women in this
country who being Of voting age, do not
desire the ballot, and who, many OF them,
very strongly object TO 1t either upon
public or private grounds. What sort OF
Justice Is It that these 100000 women
should be forced to vote against their
will by 100000 women. who constitute
only a seventh part OF their number!
How Is II that the good and conscientious
women among those who are trying to
do this thing do not see this point? Will
they not consider III
I obtained the above number OF the
suffragtsts from their office In this CITY,
but / am told that It Is very doubtfui
whether 1t is a really accurate count. Inc
suffrage professions have contained largo
numbers Of girls below the voting age
Were not these probably counted as SUI
fraeists? Some people think that minors
serve to swell the numbers when counting
for the whole country.
three millions OF adult suffragists or not
let me close my letter as / began IT, oy
the assertion that the suffrage movement
is a tremendous injustice to the women
OF this country. and let me entreat tne
men and women OF the Suffrage party 10
consider this question OF justice before
they proceed further in their enorts 10
force the vote upon US unwilling women
Remember the old cry Of "womans
rights" Have We twenty-one million
women no rights-we who believe that II
is for the good OF our country ana our
own sex that we should not vote? In the
holy name OF justice. give us our WON
ans rights!
After ! had written the above | found
In The Times" OF November q or Is
letter from a woman OF Berkeley, CAL
SAYING IN almost the very words that
have Just used: The thing that impresses
me most is the injustice OF forcing vote
upon the majority OF their sex by these
few noisy. unthinkIng women"

states" would cease to be the concern
Of statesmen. We should have much
more Of a consolidated empire than at
present. Necessarily it would follow
that the franchise in each state would
become more than ever the concern OF
the whole country. To-day campaign
ing is largely confined to doubtful
states. Democrats do not waste their
ammunition on Vermont or Republic
cans on South Carolina. But If vote
in South Carolina were to mean as
much to Republicans as one in New
York, the campaign would be fought
in every election district with heat
now undreamed Of and at ruinous ex-
pense. The machinery of Presiden-
tial campaign would be increased
many fold
Moreover. the direct method would
have no respect for peculiar institu-
tions. The negroes submit to their ex-
clusion from the ballot box in the
South because in most Of the South
ern States their votes would have
no effect on the result. But If their
ballots were factor in nationwide
contest, as important to their party
as ballots in New York or Illinois,
strenuous efforts to have them cast
and counted would be inevitable. The
direct method tolerates no pocket
borough, and has regard for no local
conditions; 1t makes every potential
vote at every crossroads something
to be striven for. Possibly It makes
for a larger democracy. At any rate, 1t
makes for more strenuous politics and
the renewal Of race antagonisms.

HRESIDENT TAFTS days in his at
Dtractive but unpretentious summer
cottage at Parranatta are not dis
trrbed by the prediction campaign.
Stirring political agitation throughout the
country is not reflected there, and the
Presidents busiest days with callers and
correspondence go by unnoticed by the
family. 1t is only when the President,
responding to pressing invitations, leaves
Beverly for a few days that the dis
advantages of being q President and a
Presidential candidate impress them
selves on Mrs. Taft and Miss Helen Taft.
The President accomplishes his daily
work with smoothness and despatch
which can only be appreciated by taxing
a peep into his study. Outside the cot
tage the visitor sees no signs Of work
at all, even on the business afternoons.
Friends of Mrs. Taft drive up in auto
mobiles for afternoon calls and tea, and
the signs of typical summer vacation
times are seen on all sides. Cheerful
feminine voices and the hearty laugh of
Major Thomas L. Rhoades, who is q
great fayorite, can be heard at intervals.
Many of Mrs. Taft's Washington
friends have summer cottages near by,
and invitations to luncheons, dinners and
social gatherings abound. Miss Helen
Taft has many young friends in the

by Mrs. Wilson and the Misses Wilson
that this side of the Governors campaign

During the years he was president of
Princeton and in the last two years as
