too seldom that We find such a perfect
gem of profound stupidity and utter ig-
norance as this. 1t is "A masterpiece. Let
me quote: 1T is about time that some

lers." Now, don't worry. Mr.. Brinker-
hon. John D. and John D., jr., can take
care OF themselves. There is always a
special train to be gotten to Pocantico
Hills and few hundred guards to post
there in case of trouble. Strikers are
spoiled children" Indeed, they are. But
not exactly in the way in which you i'm
agine. They have been spoiled, not by
surfeit Of the good things of life, but by
the lack OF them. They are children. not
because of their freedom from care, but
because of the darkness and ignorance
that must inevitably follow upon their
condition OF continual and degrading pow
erty.

MAYOR mitchell. WITH ANTS
They Should Be Proud Of Their New
Recruit, Says Sufragist.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: ], too, regret the criticisms OF
Mayor Mitchell for his anti-sunrase
speech at Carnegie Hall last Saturday
evening. Although I was very much sur
prlsed when heard him-having somehow
got the idea. along with numerous otner
suffragists-that he was not against votes
for women, / recognized his right 10 MS
opinion, and If he did not think women
should be allowed 20 vote, as his speech
plainly showed. I believe he did the only
manly thing for him to do, and that was
to say go.
There is one thing We suffragists learn
very slowly and that is not TO expect any
help toward getting the vote from public
officials. Public officials are put in office
by votes and by voters. and it is too much
to expect that in any movements which
primarily affect the voteless they will be
on the side of the voteless. That would
be political suicide. We should not bother
the recipients of votes, but get vigorously
after the thousands of voters.
In Justice TO Mayor Mitchell I want to
say that he made the best antisuffrage
speech / have ever heard from man.
The "antis' do well to be proud of hin
and happy over gaining him for their
side, for they are badly in need OF good
men speakers, and We suffragists. wh)
have so many good men among lis,
should not feel so badly about the loss Of
one man now and then. We can afford to
be generous. NORA CANTWEIL.
