REFUSE TO DEBATE
WITH SUFFRAG|ST
Montclair "Antis" Will Make
No Reply to Challenge Of Mrs.
Nellie H. SIayback.

No reply will be made to the chal-
denge issued by Mrs. Nellie Husk
Slayback. of Valley road, Montclair,
to the Montclair Branch of the Assoc
citation Opposed to Woman Suffrage.
Mrs. Slayback, who is a member of
the Montclair Equal Suffrage League,
called upon the "antis" to give her an
opportunity to refute the statement
made by Mrs. John Martin, u, Few
York, last week, when she addressed
about 200 "antis" at the home of Mrs.
Charles Whiting Baker. of South
Mountain avenue Montclair
Mrs. Baker says that Mrs. Slayback
has either misunderstood Mrs. Mar
tin or else deliberately misrepresented
her.
"In her address given at my home, :"
said Mrs. Baker, Mrs Martin en-
deavored to prove that women are
the greatest asset of a nation, that
their work in the world is beyond
any money value, and that their
greatest value is to be found in the
home. She made no reference to
teachers when she declared that
women in industry are a menace to
the nation
I'm making this statement Mrs.
Martin referred to the women who
enter commercial life, not of neces-
sity, but to place themselves on a
level with men and to attain indie
pendence. Her argument against this
class of workers is that many prefer
high salaries to marriage and homes
of their own, or else delay marriage
until late in life"

KEMP GRADUATED
AS POTATO PEELER
Poet, Formerly of Arlington,
Returns from Abroad
With $2.87.

From the Tea Room to the
Kitchen" and Potatoes I Have Met"
are subjects on which Harry Kemp,
formerly of Arlington. who volunta-
rily chose the title of 1.-THE Tramp
Poet of Kansas" is well qualified to
speak. He returned to New York
yesterday on board the Kaiserin Au-
guste Victoria, of the Hamburg
American line, with great deal of
experience, considerable knowledge Of
English warehouses and $2.S7
1t will be recalled that Kemp made
something of a failure as the third
angle in the domestic affairs of Up
ton Sinclair and the first Mrs. Sin
clair.
1t was the manner of his going
that enabled him to get an intimate
knowledge of seagoing potatoes, for
he received the privilege of remov-
the White Star line was kind enough
to give to him passage on board the
Oceanic. In his temperamental way
Kemp neglected to advance the
money necessary for a first-class pas
sage, but this slight oversight did not
prevent him from enjoying the cabin
accommodations when the voyage
began.
II would have been all right, he
said yesterday, "if somebody had not
sent wireless message to the cap
tain telling him l was on board They
found me in the tea room and were
going to make me shovel coal. but
I told them that was no job for a
poet"
According to Kemp, nearly all the
passengers on board the Oceanic that
trip were vegetarians. and he esti-
mated that the Feelings he cut away,
If placed end to end, would reach
three times around the world
When Kemp arrived at Southamp-
ton he was arrested and sentenced
to three weeks in the workhouse.
There he was assigned to the task
of waxing string, in which. he de-
clares, there is no field for the exer-
else of poetic Imagination.
For the remainder of the time
abroad Kemp more successfully prac-
tised the art of living without too
much muscular effort. An editor

turn and the $2.S7
