 Due time and effort put into the suf- frage cause could be better devoted to an appeal to American manhood We can't believe that the aaughters of women will do any better than the sons of yemen have done.

 Re Demand fer ssffrases
 There Is no demand fer we1nari's suf- of the ma 5erfty. and it hes never been shewn that the great majority ef wem- en want to vote. If the suffrage were given to women now. it would be the first time in history when it would be given to class. the majority ef which do not want it.
 The secretary of state in Calofirnia reports that en a referendum vote se4. = 6e6 men were registered, but only 1Se,- eoJ women, and in Pasadena, where there are 5000 more women than men, the playgrounds were iest because the women did not vote
 Pertents That Loom Large
 Mrs. George went en to speak of portents that she said loomed large in the suffrage horizon. The first was the failure of the American suHragists to rights and wrongs of the question when they eEc ofs . UT condone the mili tants of England She charged that the women who gave for the Pankhurst "war chest" were responsible for what that with one exception not one Amer ican suffraglst society has repudiated the English militants.
 If the pranks of these wild women continue. we will lose more than old paintings, for we lose the traditional respect in which the English speaking man has always held his women
 Socialism.
 Holding up a red banneret with the words Votes for Women on it. Mrs George said this had come from the suffrage parade in New York. The national president of the suffrage asso- ciation has said: We welcome every the middle of the road suffragists to think well about.
 Feminism.
 DctH QcHltQ dS d re- volt on the part of woman against be- ing tagged as someone's female rela- tive. The speaker asked what was to be expected when it is found incor- porated in some suffragist resolutions that the anti-suffragist who uses the feminist argument is using the tactics of the polecat, when scared.
 The feminist idea is to have the woman free for life apart from and in addition to her function of reproduc- ton, and so that it shall not be neces- sary for mothers to leave for any length of time the gainful occupation they may be engaged in. It is going to mean a social revolution. for never was so material construction put upon woman.
 We protest against the wish of a few zealous women. Woman work gets it's value and gains it's interest because she is not in politics. but is doing a piece of disinterested work. Women in politics have destroyed this signifi- canoe.
 The average woman is worthily em- ployed in very old fashioned occupa- ton now and the exceptional woman has every scope to render disinterested service to the state
 Answered Questions.
 Mrs. George answered several ques- tions after her address of over an hour and fifteen minutes, and a large number of cards were signed by those who expressed their sympathy with the anti cause. There were also a large number of new memberships received
