According to testimony given before
Justice Bischor In the Supreme Court

Church, performed a marriage ceremony
Jan. q last. uniting Herman y. Walter,
seventy-three years old. a millionaire

Mr.. Walter at the time. IL is charged,
was so afflicted with aphasia and par.

The story OF the wedding was re-
counted by William Smaller. n trained

WOMEN MUST BAND TOGETHER
TO A UNIT,

Dear Madam: You say you would
like to know what women think
about the low wages paid to girls.
just because they are poor and their
parents are poor. and the girls SIM
ply have to work. Here are my
views: Nine-tenths OF the shopping
done In the department stores In done
by women. Now, then. let tho women
select the stores that pay the best
wages to women as their Particular
store to deal with. No matter what
inducements tho stores offer in bar
gains where the help Is underpaid,
no matter II you can save two or
three cents. pass that up and help
out the store where tho owner is
really doing moro for lis help than
the other stores do. Women simply
must band together to a unit II they
ever want to have an equal show.
Men have for so many years been
used to making doormats OF tho
women that even the worms have
turned. Never stop until men and
women have tho same pay for tho
same work. We have sons ar well
as daughters and we all are willing
that when equal pay IL demanded
the storekeeper shall take his choice
as to whether no will employ men
or women. One thing Is sure, 10
nc employs men he will not bs able
10 tell them to make up their salary
in an immoral way. And II the girls
will only be sure that the men whom
they marry are earning n sufficient
wage TO keep at least three. the men
will see to II that their boss pays
them living wages.
Women need tbs vote to obtain bet
ter wages. What right have men to
say we are not ready for II? To quail
fy, shall we learr, to chew and swear
and drink from three to thirteen
cocktails per day? To Join some Sc
crel organization where they take all
your clothes away from you. blind
fold you and lead you around with
rope. and finally make you kneel In
front OF the Holy Bible and take a
cutthroat oath that you will never
tell how you were initiated? The
question Is. II we did do all OF this.
what would be the next excuse?
only wish that not another girl or
woman would get married until ev-
cry state IN the Union has women a.
well as men voters. N man voter
Is there to-day but who has a woman
for his mother. and let w all in
stIuct our daughters to postpone
marriage until the State In which
they are supposed TO 1.-Two gives tho
vote to her as well as o. him. My
son informs me that ne viii never vote
Until he can take either his mother.
MS SISTER or his wife 10 the polls
with an equal chance. My husband
would soon settle the question IL 1t
we're left 10 him. lie can see no
honor IN votes for men unless IL can
be given TO the women who bear the
burdens along with the men.
