RABBI CALLS ANTS
DRONES OF SOCIETY
Lectures on Woman Suffrage
Before Members of Short
Hills Club.

Speaking under the auspices of the
Short Hills Branch of the Women $
Political Union last night, Rabbi Ste
phen Wise. of New York, called the
women who are opposed to suffrage
for their sex 'harem women" and
"drones of society,"" He declared that
as long as the "antis" do not wish TO
vote they should not be permitted to
do so when the women are enfran-
chised. The meeting was held In the
Short Hills Clubhouse. Mrs. stewart
Hartshorn, president Of the branch,
presided
"They think voting would be all
right for themselves" he said, put
they wish to curtail the privileges OF
the working classes. | would rather
give the vote to the girl who works In
the mills of Paterson, Passaic and
Newark for six and eight dollars a
week than to the drones of society
who do nothing"
He charged the ants with untruth-
eulness when they preach the home
theory" saying that they are per-
fectly willing to leave the home
when there is a dance, reception
or a card party to be attended, but
that they don't want other women to
do their duty, as that will place a
responsibility on them.
"They talk of the influence women
exert in government without having
the responsibility" he continued. In
no case should one possess influence
in government without responsibility
for in all departments we should De
able to fix the responsibility. When
there was talk of freeing the slaves
many people told Lincoln the slaves
did not want to be freed. His re-
Spouse was that II they had become
so degI AIDED as not to desire freedom
they should have it at once. The
same holds true of the women who
don't want political freedom.
women have not only borne the
soldiers, but they have sent them to
war, have suffered the hardships and
deprivations which war entails. IL
suffrage had no other justification 1t
would be this, that women would es-
tablish peace. They wouldn't make
the nation cowardly, but they would
arbitrate wisely and well.
There are women who do not want
to change from their grandmothers'
type and who consider unwomanly
anything she didn't do. [ remember
when 1t was considered unwomanly
to swim, to go to college, to have q
good appetite, to be healthy and not
to faint"
He concluded by pleading for an
invitation to come back In 1915 to con-
graduate the New Jersey women on
their victory.

Permit Two Garages Inside
Limit Allowed by Ordinance

Permission was granted by the
Nutley Board of Commissioners last
night TO applicants who desire to
build garages inside the limit allowed
by the town ordinance. DR.. A. f..
Jackson and f. Fl. Ferrin were the
applicants.
Building Inspector Calvin d. sar-
gent called attention to the fact that
while DR.. Jackson's proposed garage
would be sixteen feet away from the
dwelling of a neighbor and Ferris's
garage eighteen feet away from his
house the ordinance provides that
such buildings must be twenty feet
away from q dwelling When the
board learned there were no objec-
lions to the proposed buildings the
permits were granted unanimously.
A letter was received from Charles
d. Lukacsevics, of ISL Bloomfield
avenue who said his factory was en-
tered a week ago and Ave magnets
were stolen. A description of a man
seen around the place tallies with
that of man who was seen by a
policeman boarding a trolley car late
that same night with a heavy valise.
He thought there would be no trouble
in apprehending the thief If
police gave any time to 1t. The COM
municatlon was referred to Chief of
Police Sutcliffe.
A resolution to borrow $4,000 for
current expenses was passed.
The request of the King Marsac
Company that the town take over
East Centre street was denied. The
street has never been laid out, OF
graded, and the sidewalks on it are
not of standard construction, 1t was

SUFFRAGE
QUERY; BOLTS QUIZ
Mrs. George Hurriedly Leaves
Hall to Catch Train After
East Orange Speech.

Refusing to answer questions or en-
gage in any discussion about state
ments made, Mrs. A. ]. George, Of
Broolsline, Mass, left the auditorium
after she had addressed a mixed
audience OF men and women last
night at the Woman's Club, East Or
ange, in opposition TO woman suf-
frage. Mrs. Mary X. Colvin, first
vice-president Of the New Jersey
State Suffrage Association, demanded
to know why certain statements
made could not be questioned and de-
bated right there, but Miss Grace
Duffield Goodwin, who had opened the
meeting, answered that they had no
time, as they must catch train.
Mrs. George declared that she stood
aghast at the thought of the disaster
that would befall the world II women
were given the right of franchise.
First, she said. a social revolution
would result. as the suffragists are
reinforcing themselves now with the
Socialist contingent, who carry their
red banners with Votes for Women"
In their street parades, and that the
younger generation of suffragists will
use the vote as a means to an end to
do away with the dual moral standing
and give women equal moral rights
with men.
She referred to the recent visit Of
Mrs Pankhurst, and said that not a
single suffra gist organization in this
country had the courage TO renounce
the acts of the English militants. The
vote was really the least part of this
worldwide discussion, she said. but
how woman was to become the most
1la4.- -. LII. -
be done by duplicating mems efforts.
Suffragists. she said say that the
fact of sex must be forgotten, but
this, Mrs. George declared, could never
be, and she thought that 1t proved
that the suffragist side is the logic of
theory, while the anti-suffragist side
is The logic of fact Neither in Colo
RADIO nor California, she said, has the
vote for women made any material
d ference in conditions; in fact, 1t has
proven a serious error in the latter
State.
She insisted that we now have all
the laws to bring about the things
which the suffragists hope to accom-
plish. Woman's strength is needed in
the home and school, she continued,
and must not be drawn upon for po-
litical activity Crime is the result
of faulty home-training, and If the
women are to relieve man of his re-
spons!bilities and shoulder his bur-
dens, too. she cannot be the home
maker and trainer of her children.
Women would make good business of
politics. she admitted, but thought II
poor policy to put all the good citi-
zens In the same channel, doing the
same things.
In conclusion, she declared that the
anti suffragists were not compel ed.
as their sister suffragsts, to prove
anything; they have nothing to prove;
their stand is clear; but she pleaded
for more clear thinking and less emo
ton on each side.
Camillus Kidder presided.

100000 FLUME
FOR IRVINGTON
Council Passes Ordinance. De-
spite Objection from Wealthy
Property Owners.

With large property owners arrayed
against the proposed 100000 aouth
side storm sewer in Irvington and
small property-owners banded in its
favor the Town Council sided with
the latter residents last night and
passed an ordinance on first reading
providing for Its construction.
Though unanimously in favor OF fha
drain, the council was divided as to
the manner of assessment for its
cost. The ordinance provided for Q.
direct assessment of all the cost on
the property benefited BY q five to
two vote II WAS 80 adopted. Mayor
David H. Greene and Councilman
Frank r. Sharp commended that the
council should issue bonds to pay for
the main trunk line of the drain and
assess only the laterals on the prop
erty direct

mar, Mrs. Henrietta Miller, Mahlon
S. Drake and William c. Headley.
The burden OF their argument was
that the sewer will benefit but few;
that the assessment will be more than
the property can stand; that Newark
property will be drai7ed, but will not
be assessed; that IL constructed az
ALL the main trunk line should be as
sessed on the town at large, and that
the property-owners have already paid
once for drainage ditch and should
not be assessed again.
The fact that no constructive crit-
ieism had been offered aroused thu
ire of Mayor Greene. He wanted tho
professors to offer some other remedy
for relief from oft-repeated floods
Mr. Headley declared relief could
be afforded by cleaning out and
strengthening Skinkle brook, or by
piping the surface water from Clin~
ton avenue through Howard street, to
Lyons avenue.
Benjamin II. Littlefleld pointed out
that this would give no relief to Ellis
avenue residents who have to use
life preservers to reach their coal
bins" nor even on Clinton avenue,
where at Maple avenue the thorougl-
fare can only be crossed over q "pon.
toon bridge
Several residents who live along
Skinkle ditch told of fearful 6dors
and mosquito breeding proclivities Of
the stream in the summer and of a
four-foot rise In the water during
heavy rains
Councilman Charles Hartkopf said
that Consulting Engineer Rankin and
Town Engineer Casey estimate the
cost to be $25 per building lot. The
drainage area Is nearly 500 acres, he
said, and the entire sewer cost will be
between Sl5O,0OO and 100000.
