tina, tor . standing committee on woman suf-
frage.
This committee was adopted at the brilliant
quinquennial in Berlin in 1904, where suffrage
sentiment seemed to dominate everything, and
Miss Susan B. Anthony received an ovation
whenever she entered hall, the audience rising,
cheering and waving handkerchiefs. Even at
Toronto. in 1909, the local managers were afraid
that suffrage meeting would prejudice the pub
ic> against the entire quinquennial, but they had
to yield, and the big hall would not hold the
audience 1t was here that Lady Aberdeen made
public announcement of her allegiance to the
cause Since then suffrage speeches have be-
come feature of even executive meetings, as
at The Hague last year. The fear of the Italian
women is supported by many precedents and
will prove as groundless as. the rest, and they
can neutralize any injury with their own con-
gress and its discussion of the home, garden
cities. pauperism. how society helps the subdued
in the struggle for life.
Cernas Delegates Lead.
Germany leads all countries in the number
of council members present, about 200. The
national council is a power in that country,
every organization of women of any conse-
quence belonging to it except the Red Cross,
which cannot legally do so, and it has men,
bership of at least half million women Not
long ago it arranged weeks congress in Berlin,
and before the opening day over 5000 tickets
had been sold. The Socialists do not recognize
this body, so their tens of thousands of organ
lied women must be counted separately. A good
deal more than half of all German women over
fifteen are salary and wage-earners, and yet
the Kaiser still sends forth the edict: There are
but three places for women, the kitchen, the
nursery, and the church."
Great Britain stands next in the number of
visitors with nearly 150 Canada has sent across
the ocean between thirty and forty, and from
far-away Australia have come twenty-five Aus
tria, France, and the Netherlands have about
forty; Norway and Hungary over thirty; Switz-
erland and Belgium, twenty; Finland and Swed-
en-, dozen each. The most surprising delega-
ton is that of Russia, thirteen wide-awake
women, three physicians, one baroness, one Sex
cellency." Bulgaria and Servia are represented,
and Argentina has two delegates. These figures
are taken from the printed lists, and the secre-
tary says they are far below the actual number
here. 1t is large and representative assemblage
which Italy has welcomed with justly celebrated
spring weather.
The council opened with beautiful evening
reception given by the Countess Spalletti-
Rasponi president of the national council of
Italy, in her palace, set in lovely garden and
filled with such treasures of art as can be found
only in the home of an ancient Italian family.

When fate gave the fortunes Of the
Skinner family such q bump that they
were forced to sell the old home In the
beautiful outskirts OF Louisville. KY.
and go North TO inhospitable New York,
Mrs Augusta Skinner felt herself to be
very helpless and miserable young
woman. The small boxlike apartment
less street seemed to her q prison. A
short time afterward her husband met
with an accident which disabled him
from ever working again.
Then the place took on the aspect Of
a palace which must be kept at all
costs. Like most young couples. rainy
days were bogies in the far. dim dis
tance. and they had enjoyed life As
much as possible. living up to the last
cent Of their income. Doctors bills and
other expenses quickly ate up the money
they had received from the sale of their
Louisville home, and Mrs. Skinner real
lied that she would have to be bread
winner for her sick husband and two
small children.
1t took all these knocks to bring to
the surface Q wonderful gift which this
young Southern woman didn't know she
possessed and which later has not only
enabled her to give her two children
the best educational advantages, but has
secured for her a secure and successful
business among the most fastidious fash
ionable women in New York City.
As a girl, Mrs. Skinner had quite q
reputation among her friends as won
derful dresser OF dolls. she had thirteen
Of her own, and each had an extensive
wardrobe. with suitable garments for all
occasions. Yet one could hardly expect
such q facility to help her out In the
most business-alert city IN the world.
It did, though, just as the most unex-
pected things often do happen. This
is the story as 1t was told to me by
Mrs. Skinner recently:
when We first came to New York,
thought It a mighty lonely place." she
said Having been accustomed all my
life to plenty Of room and my large gar
den, the little nat which our Strengthened
circumstances forced US to take seemed
to smother me. We didn't know q soul
in the city, and when my husband met
with an acciden which disabled him from
working any longer, the money which We
had obtained for our Louisville home
quickly went for doctors and nurses
bills.

Delegates to international Council Of
Women Witness Labor Day" Dem
onsration IN Rome Mrs. Harper
Gives Views on Socialists.
By IDA Hustled HARPER.
Hotel Quirinal, Rome.

I1Otel kuiIli NOluC.
If Labor Day in Italy came on May 2 instead
of May the United States delegation to the
international Council of Women involuntarily
would have had parade the same as their suf-
rage sisters at home. We had consecrated the
first of May, before the meetings began, to go
and many points of interest, but when we gaily
stepped out of the hotel at an early hour we
learned that not wheel would turn in Rome
that day! Not one of the thousands of cabs
could be seen, no street cars were running, shops
were closed, and we were told that this was the
festival of labor" 1t certainly was not very
festive for sightseers, but they did see novel
sight in the parade of thousands of working peo-
pie headed by about hundred women tobacco
workers who are on strike at the present time.
Nearly all the marchers were under the red flag,
as the day is entirely in control of the Socialists
1t never has been sanctioned by the government,
but seven or eight years ago the Socialist lead
ers simply announced that no work would be
done in Italy thereafter on May / except what
was necessary to sustain life, and the govern
ment, city and State acquiesced because they
had no choice.
Everything Is Peaceful
everything is peaceful, and in the parade were
even societies of Anarchists under their own flag
A peculiar feature was the lodges of Free
Masons, marching under black flags with white
lettering, who seemed strangely out of place in
a parade of this nature. One-fourth of the
Italian Parliament is comprised of Socialists,
but none has had place in the cabinet, as in
France, and while they do not seem to have con-
spicuous leadership, yet there is somewhere a
powerful influence. For instance few months
ago the authorities in Rome ordered a very old
hospital closed, much against the wishes of the
people The next day there was an universal
strike" no shops were opened every wheel was
stopped, nobody went to the factories, and even
those who supplied foodstuffs joined the strik-
ers. The situation became very serious, and it
continued thirty-six hours. At the end of that
time the hospital was opened. The noted So
cialist Mayor Nathan was obliged to resign
short time ago, and movement is under way
to replace him with Prince Colonna, of the old
est and most conservative aristocracy, but now
all men may vote, so interesting developments
may be loked for in the land of the Caesars and
the Socialists.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE
IS FALSE UTOPIA
Anti Says the Vote and Tenn,

Come Together.
COLORADO AN EXAMPLE
Women Have Been Unable to Stop

Disaster.
Py MRS. SIMEON H. GUILFoRD

Ey MRS. s1nEoN II. UCILFonD
Member Of the Executive Board, Pennsyivania Asso-
cation Opposed to Woman Suffrage.
The question of woman suffrage has
gone so far beyond mere academic dis
cussion that it is rather surprising TO
note that a suffragist, Mrs. Norman de
r. Whitehouse, can still say that "since
women have as yet taken no great part
in political life'' the contention that they
are not fitted to share with men all the
responsibilities of civil government is
merely IAN assumption based on the fact
that women In private relations have
shown themselves more emotional than
men"
The question Of the relative emo
tionalism Of women as compared with
men, undoubtedly, has some bearing
on the expediency of extending the
franchise. The present hysteria in
England that has SO permeated the
whole suffrage movement that the
conservatives are Withdrawing because
the organizations will not condemn the
outrages of the militants is a case be-
fore the public right at this time But
broadly, those who oppose woman suf-
frage do not base their arguments
against the movement on mere deduc-
tions from the psychological character
istics Of either sex. but on the actual
workings of woman suffrage in the
States and countries where II is a real
factor in civil administration.
Anti-suffragists are not inclined to car
~ on this discussion from the stand
point of schoolgirl questions of abstract
rights and cleverly worded expressions
of dreamers as to what woman suffrage
will do when women get the vote" On
the contrary they ask every candid man
and woman to examine the record of
the States.

public-spirited citizens, have accom-
plished more by their nonpartisan or
ganizations In male suffrage States for
the benefit of both men and women, in
industry, education, and equality before
the law, better protection Of children.

The Washington herald., 1914-05-31

If the American delegates didn't parade on
May g. they did not let the day pass unnoticed
but assembled in one of the council committee
rooms, with DR., Anna Shaw presiding. who
read the woman's declaration of Independence.
Then they adopted resolution calling upon
Congress to do something for woman suffrage
and do it quick. Just as this was unanimously
adopted fitting climax came with the entrance
of representative of big New York daily
newspaper asking for an interview.
Suffrage = he Air.
Woman suffrage is in the air here in Italy,
but can hardly be said to have come down to
earth, at least not for very long or with much
of concussion. This recalls one of the sub
rosa incidents preliminary to the present quin-
quennial 1t was mentioned in a preceding letter
that the international council came to Rome on
invitation of the national council of Italy, which
has, however, no jurisdiction over the proceed
ings, but will hold its own congress Immediately
at their close. Some weeks ago, so the story
runs, it notified those international officers max
ing the arrangements that no suffrage meeting
must be held, and the answer was returned
that as there was an international standing COM
nittee on woman suffrage, of course, there
would be public meeting to discuss this ques-
ton. Nevertheless, the chairman of this COM
mittee, DR.. Anna Shaw, was so afraid it would
be in some way prevented that she came over
on purpose to see it through, and will return to
the United States as soon as the council is
ended. The curse is taken off little by giving
the title of her speech on the program, Suffrage
and Economics" and having Immediately pre-
cede it, "the Value of the Work of the House
wife" The meeting is announced under the
name, Economic Aspects of Wornen's Work"
so the suffrage is pretty well sugar-coated, but
the audience viii get large dose and will en-
joy it, if the experience of past council meet
ings is repeated.
DeIving Into Suffrage History.
The way the suffrage camel got its nose un-
der the council tent is an interesting and signih-
cant bit of history. In the beginning, in 1883,
although the founders and promoters were all
leading suffragists, the question had to be kept
not only in the background, but out of sight,
or it would have been impossible to bring any
country except Great Britain into the council.
Even as late as 1899, at the great convocation
in London, it was not possible to hold suffrage
meeting under auspices of the council, but it was
felt that advantage should be taken of the pres
ence of delegates from all over the world, and
so Mrs. Fawcett organized mass meeting in
dependently, and it proved to be by far the
largest and most enthusiastic of the two weeks.
That year Lady Aberdeen retired from the
presidency, Mrs. May Wright Sewall succeed
ing her. At that time nineteen countries were
affiliated and no new committee could be formed
without unanimous consent, Before she left the
office she had gained the official consent of the
national council of every country, even Argen-
