be the last. and no struggling whispers
could be wasted on irrelevancics. AS II
turned out. he was able TO put only
four questions. but how skilfully he
used them to develop what otherwise
could not be known. First he learned
that Mr.. Rockefeller lived at No. 6S9

MARRIAGE AND SUFFRAGE
Has the Votes for Women Idea Quick
ened Matrimonial Inclinations

TO the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: In the current issue of a weekly
publication Mrs. Ida lIusted Harper has
the following statement: Just as all the
New Years articles were written deplor-
ing the growing dissemination TO marry
and blaming the suffrage movement for
II, along came the annual reports or
marriage license bureaus, showing that
i'm all the large cities the number Of mar
riages In 1912 had exceeded those of any
preceding year. The next largest record
was I'm 1911, and these are the two years
when the number of women voters mas
been doubled and the number OF women
going actively into the suffrage movement
has been many times multiplied"
This statement would be more interest
ing to all women if Mrs Harper would
give comparative statistics regarding the
large cities of suffrage and non-suffrage
states. There are many more large cities
and they are much more numerous m
lnhabitants-in the East, where women
do not vote. than there are in the West,
where women have the franchise.
II the number OF marriages really has
any particular bearing on the necessity
Of votes for women" why not let SUCH
comparative statistics speak for them
selves?
