THE MICROSCOPE
Mrs. Grace Duheld Goodwin
Addresses Large Meeting
of Ants. ,
KEEP HANDS OFF SOUTH
Speaker Advises Sufragists Not to
Hinder Sincere Effort to Solve
Race Problem.

York lectured on Suffrage Under the
Microscope" at the residence OF Mrs.
i Robert Lincoln. I775 n street. yesterday
afternoon. The lecture. which was given
under auspices OF the District Associa-
ton Opposed to Woman Suffrage. with
Mrs. Douglas Putnam Birnie presiding.
was attended by representative women
4 Of society and others interested in phil
anthropic, educational and other pur-
suits.
4 Mrs Goodwin said she had been told
by a prominent suffragist that the pub
Iicity gained through the hike of Rosalie
Jones and others to this city and the
present agitation for a constitutional
amendment before Congress was worth
more than $4,000 in advertising rates to
| the cause.
Eliminate publicity from the suffrage
cause and II will collapse said Mrs.
| Goodwin. ''its life Is entir, ly artificial.
/ and without the saline injt ctions of no.
toriety through the newsp.p pcrs IL could
not survive, as it's the keystone OF the
| suffrage arch of pretentions is the ques-
| ton of sex and antagonism to man gov
ernment and to man himself"
No Ballot Necessary.
IF equal suffrage based on political
tequality is to come" continued Mrs
Goodwin. all laws discriminating
against man in favor of woman must be
wiped out, and yet the rank and file of
the suffragists will not listen to this
sort of argument. always advancing
as argument their physical def
Ciencies. Woman can do anything In this
country for which she shows a particu-
lar aptitude and freely enters almost
every line Of business on an equality
with man so far as her real merits are
concerned. No ballot is necessary for
that"
The speaker advised the sufrraGists TO
keep hands or the South. where the men
and women are making sincere effort
to solve the most difficult race problem.
Mrs. Goodwin also spoke of the laws
protecting women and children passed
by non-suffrage states. claiming them
to be far more liberal and effective than
similar laws passed in suffrage States.
Socialists are most loyal cO-workers
Of the suffra Eists, according to Mrs.
Goodwin. who in this connection men
toned the names of Norman Hapgood.
Lincoln Steffens. Upton Sinclair. Gil
bert f. Roe. Max Eastman and others
as either socialists or radical thinkers
Mrs. Goodwin assured the audience that
there was no need of fear that the suf-
fragists would be successful before Con-
