/ am very glad that a Woman's Forum
has been started in your paper, for

10 be very important, and | think such
matter can be brought in this way
before the public, to the end that some
thing may be accomplished.
| refer to the bilboards on Riverside
Drive. The advertising signs in all our
cities are certainly not artistic, nor do
they improve the scenery, but as We are
a commercial country ! suppose we must
endure the unsightly signs which stare
at one most unpleasantly when one re-
turns from the country i'm the fall. We
have become so used to the hdeous things
that we do not realize what we endure
until we are absent for time. The heart
does not grow fonder" in this particular
experience. But Riverside Drive! Why
cannot that one beautiful boulevard be
spared? What can be done TO Danish for
ever the advertising signs along it's Dor
ders?
When one takes a ride or stroll one
is startled to read signs in blazing let
tiers on the Palisades. but probably ole
cannot put them out, as New Jersey
seems to do as it pleases, and so We en-
dure these things. together with the
nauseous odors of chemicals which often
smother US.
Then there is another thing / want TO
speak of. At the corner of l05th street

Duties Of Two

To the Editor of the Woman's Forum.
Although | can see il is impossible 10
discuss a theme with any one who so
openly misconstrues his opponent, and
one who will not or can not accept an
illustration and fires so far from the

try TO make my view clearer.
First, ! beg to state that | wish to De

TO the Woman's Forum. ] wrote the let
ter TO Mrs. Pankhurst. with the intention
of sending it 10 her by mail aboard the

TO The Tribune. Upon telling my mission
I was told to go to the Womans Forum

True. | compare women with stokers.

gineers etc. while ! compare the men

Your reference to Queen Victoria leads
one to believe that you expect day

a few more servants TO do his wifes
work, so that she can attend to politics.
My dear Mr.. Beerbower, please take
another look around you. and you viii
agree with me that, as a rule, where
the women have plenty and live in idle
ness there are few or no children and
where the women live in want and work
hard there is a large flock of them.
Should that not indicate that my asser-
ton is right and you are wrong when
you say. "Self-respecting women who are
worthy to become mothers" etc. How
many a man is not driven to the wall
because his wife wants to keep il up with
the Joneses!
If a man neglects his family and the
wife complains the courts deal pretty Sc
verely with him. The enormous alimonies
men are made to pay prove that.

Are Women Now
Able to Govern ?

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Might | beg space in which to
reply TO Edna Wadsworth Moody in your
issue of Sunday?
would ask Mrs Moody TO explain TO
me II it will be her idea of the consent
of the governed" II 10 per cent of the
women Of this country should have its
way over the great majority Of the 30 per
cent opposed to IT?
Might / suggest that / think President
Wilson would lind some difficulty in rec
Ognizing his meaning as interpreted by
Mrs Moody?
Does the teaching OF the Woman Suf-
frage Study Club include In its curricu-
lum the idea advanced by Mrs. Sarah
Plat Decker some months before her
death Of the ACCESSIBILITY Of "woman's
party?
If this were adopted, and it therefore
came to the point of man versus
woman" would the government OF the
day stop to consider If 1t We're existing
under the consent of the governed?
If the mems party happened-as would
be likely To be the case-to constitute the
government. would the woman's party
rest gracefully under the results OF the
election and consent to be governed just
because they had had the privilege Of be-
ing defeated en- masse?
Under existing circumstances 30 per
cent Of the women of this country are
willing to rest under that awful stigma
90 Of being the governed while they
can also be free of the burdens and re-
sponsibilities which they realize an intel
ligent conscientious exercise OF the fran
chise would entail.
Not the usual suffrage idea, OF fifteen
minutes once a year to drop "A ballot
marked Pure Milk" Shorter Hours.
etc. as suffrage pictures always depict
female voters as doing.
| cannot but agree with part of one of
Mrs. Moody's statements. She tells us
that women OF this country are neither
free nor self-governed.
OF 10 per cent OF them | must confess
the latter expression is ably descriptive,
and most surely in act and utterance
they are doing naught TO prove them
selves fit to be the governors of the coun-
trys destiny.
In conclusion, | would say that it is
impossible to convince 30 per cent of the
women that they are slaves bond

Mothers Make
Daughters Helpless

To the Editor of the Womans Forum.
In compliance with your request in is
sue of the 9th ult for suggestions OF
interest to women. | will endeavor to
briefly outline what / consider to be OF
paramount Importance TO every young
woman who expects to live a satisfactory
life.
Acquire a good, plain English education;
read Il daily newspaper II a resident OF
New York, The Tribune. for instance, |
find has. IN addition to the general news
of the world many items OF interest and
instruction to the individual. Do not let
the fashion page dominate and thereby
acquire the fallacious shopping" habit.
II is an undisputed fact that every young
woman contemplates the marriage state;
therefore. in all seriousness. it behooves
her to qualify herself in many ways for
that important change If she wants to
make her husband. herself and family
happy, contented and prosperous. Be-
fore marrying. she should know all about
house furnishing and housekeeping. and.
above all, be a good cook. Should she
have help to attend to these duties. ii is
imperative, nevertheless that the wife be
thoroughly competent TO superintend and
instruct, and should an exigency arise
she then would temporarily be able to
perform these necessary daily services
herself A wife should be prudent and
economical, bearing in mind the ineyita-
BILE rainy day" also have In mind some
definite object In the way of a career as
a breadwinner should circumstances
make 1t necessary. IL your husband is
a business man, absorb all information
possible from him respecting business
routine in general a good idea TO begin
with Is to keep legible book account
of all household expenses in their mi
nutest detail; there is no telling what
may happen TO throw woman on her
own resources but II she has directed her
efforts in the proper channel she will not
have to face the world pitiful, helpless
woman. of no service to others in any
capacity. How many OF this kind of
women have | met. Ask them what they
can do, they Will at once reply, ANY
thing; but, upon investigation on any
particular line of inquiry. IL will be found
that they don't know how to do single
thing in which an ordinary girl ought to
be proficient. a frequent response Is
heard: mo. mother always did that
/ have no patience and not much SYM
patty for a helpless woman OF average
intelligence and opportunities
Much more could be said on this sub
ject, which doubtless will be amplified by
other contributors. Very earnestly,

nutshell
II is not the woman alone that is under

with them. That can and shall be
remedied But equality there cannot be.
Nature created two sexes, with two duties.

human race II absolute equality Is
reached the race will die
Concluding, / wish to say that Mrs.
Pankhurst needs no male defender. as
she not only claims she is equal TO men,
but that she is above men. She gives the
men broadside whenever and wherever
she has chance Therefore, she must
expect TO be met with the same weapons
as she uses herself. That is part of the
political game women want to enter and
they must take the consequences. My
criticism was just and the questions We're
straight. If she will not answer them,
we'll?
II Mrs. Pankhurst read my letter be-
fore sailing her hatred toward men might
have been lessened by the thought that

was for that purpose that my letter was

Miss Chittenden
Is Answered

Editor of the Womans Forum.
Sir: Among the reasons given by the
anti-suffragists in last weeks issue as
10 why women should not vote the fol-
lowing attracted my attention espe-
,iallv. The first of these is that we
.nroprsss along the lines where nature
leads" Does the writer imply oy thd'
statement that nature will eventually
lead TO the ballot for women? Or does
not the fact that women have the vote
In so many parts Of the world. includ-
ing the United States, show that nature
has already led us to the ballot?
Mrs. Seligman does not believe the
ballot will improve the economic condl-
lion of women. Why have men always
wanted to vote, and why would no man
Sillingly surrender his right TO vote?
In ancient Rome the Flebeians forced
democratic constitution from the Patrl-
clans. then in control of the government
that their economic condition might De
improved. The French Revolution was
made possible because of the discomfort
of the mass of the French people, due
10 their bad economic condition, and the
first step the people took to better their
position was to declare for practically
universal suffrage in the constitution or
1891. The various reform bills in Eng
and were strongly supported by oil in
.erested in lettering the position Of the
working man. Here in our own country
the growth in power and effectiveness
Of the various labor organizations has
correspondent to the extension of the
franchise.
agree with Miss Chittenden that We
run a great risk in enfranchising the
lgnoran: voter. What we need is not
more voters, but better voters. But, TO
ny mind, the remedy for present con-
iitions is not to be found by keeping
he intelligent woman from the polls
and giving the ignorant man the vote.
but rather by adopting stricter franchise
requirements, and then educating our
people so that they will qualify as in
telligent voters.
