while at work at his desk. His death
comes as shock to the people of

Walters and a daughter, Mrs. Zetta
Davis, both Of whom were with him

Fair and considerate of all with
whom he came in contact, either in a
business or political way, he was al
ways ready to say a kind and encour-

and his daily walk was characterized
by cheerful spirit and a desire to
do some fellow traveller good and no
harm. In business way he was the
soul Of honor, and intellectually he
was honest and clean cut, but not OBJ
trusive. He will be- long remembered
for the good he accomplished and al

ngness OF women to-day to drop their
sex antagonism and try in some way to
give men a little credit for what under
their magnanimity this world is to-day"
Who but those opposed TO the elimination
of sex discrimination in suffrage can be
charged with "sex antagonism"? We men
who favor honest government. such as
whitman and others are proving we have
not had. are glad 10 have the help Of the
noble public spirited women. who know
their places lin the home" in the Church
and at the polls, to help secure and main

We are proud that these brave women
do give credit TO the men in nine states
and fourteen countries who have already
shown chivalry and magpanimity in ex-
tending the hand and fellowship and
equality to their mothers, sisters, wives
and daughters, and the same kind of men
who stand ready to do the same act Of
chivalry in other states and countries
where progress has not stopped.

THE BALLOT AND MATERIAL
BENEFIT.

DO the suffragists ever compute the
cost to the individual taxpayer the plain
dollars-and-cents cost, OF doubling our
electorate? In the words Of Rossiter
johnson, IF women voted in this State Of
New York the additional cost Of the an
nual elections 70 the taxpayers would be
equal 20 that of building and endowing a
college like Nassar every FIVE years.
Cui bono? The suffragists will have TO
demonstrate some great blessing pos
sessed by the woman suffrage states and
not possessed by New York State to con-
vince the practical business woman that
our budget should be so greatly in
creased. 1t would be absolutely criminal
to squander so much money when our
schools and Fairgrounds are so made
ouate 10 meet the needs of the children.
Considering the question as TO whether
or not the ballot could confer any mate
rial benefit upon the individual working
woman. we have only to recall the fact
that millions of male voters are out of
work i'm this country to-day 20 realize the
absurdity of such a question. The sue
cessful working woman knows that edu-
cation. hard work and personal efficiency
are tho only methods leading TO individual
success. II never comes 20 man or
woman through the ballot box.

FROM FORUM READERS
THE WHY OF MILITANCY
Writer Says Anti-Sufrsgists Have
Called II Into Being.

To the Editor Of The Tribune Womsn's
Forum.
In this weeks Forum Martin c. Boyd
quotes the epithets formerly given by r.
A. Lawrence, Suffrage, socialism, fem
inism, militancy." He substitutes anti
suffrage, socialism. femlnism and many
others, but leaves out militancy.
Both are, wrong. Militancy, as is nov
meant, is-the offspring of anti-suffrage. II
never would have been born If woman
had been given suffrage few years ago
after years Of pleading for It. Militancy
does not exist where woman suffrage does.
and mllitancy will be instantly killed BY
woman suffrage and probably not by any
thing else. Militancy, feminsm and all
the present unrest and struggle are due
wholly to discrimination against half OF
the citizens in denying them a voice in
their own government without any honest
reason. The cure never has failed Coarse
talk has never cured. Poor reasoning has
never cured. Give MS the real cure.
