CARDINAL CANNOT
STOP US,'SAY WOMEN
Suffrage Leaders Here Assert
That Many Roman Catholics
Favor Their Cause.
GIBBONS LETTER REPLIES

Mre. Harriet Stanton Blatch. president
much to say yesterday about Cardinal
Gibbons's recent letter TO James II. Nu-
gent of New Jersey and the Cardinals
accompanying remarks, in which he ex-
pressed the fear that the ballot would
drag woman from her domestic duties
and rob her OF much Of her charm.
goodness and true influence"
Cardinal Gibbons, as some others
who spend their lives In the seciusion Of
the library. is evidently not aware that
women are voting in a dozen Of the
States of this Union" said Mrs. Batch.
Otherwise he would he treasured by
the happy homes In those States. There
are fewer servants TO the family in the
Pacific States, where woman vote, than
In the Atlantic States. where they don't.
SO out there the wives have TO feed
their husbands and sew their buttons
on. and there has been no masculine
rebellion in the suffrage States"
Mrs. Blatch thought the Cardinal
must also have failed TO ear that there
are 5000. 0oo women engaged in gain
full occupations in the United States.

~And s%crubblng floors on ones knees
u quite as likely to make a woman un-
refined as going to the polls on ones
feet" she said. Cardinal Gibbons be-
heves the suffragists are forgetting du-
ties and yearning after privileges. ON
the contrary. IL In because we remem-
Der our duty TO our children that we ask
. share in the government which con-
trols the streets where they play. the
milk they drink, the water they use.
He fears hat voting will give woman
mans bo!dness and ~effrontery.' Isn't
he doing his sex an Injustice? And
with the growth Of democracy men are
becoming constantly more cultured.
ID l think the Cardinals advice will
take many votes from the s%unragists in
New Jersey? No. I don't. And he will
not ~nnuenc the Catholic women, either.
Women are thinking to-day they see
what the war 10 costing them. Does
anybody suppose the Italian women
whose husbands are being called home
to night are going TO have much
patience with the Cardinals talk about
'woman's place being at the cradle

Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait. chairman
OF the Empire State campaign committee.
said that Cardinal Gibbons's anti
suffrage attitude was more than
balanced by the suffrage views OF yari-
Gus Catholic leaders.
1T Is strange that a man as great
a. he is can be on the wrong side Of this
great question: she went on. But
then Harvard's first two presidents
believed in witchcraft. I don't believe
the Cardinals opposition will do us
much harm"
Miss Mary Garrett Hay. city chair
man OF the Woman Suffrage party, was
equally optimistic.
The time has passed when one man
can influence votes,' she aid. why,
not even political bosses can do that
now. How h can a church leader do

Mrs, Lillian Feickert. head Of the
New Jersey Woman Suffrage Associa-
non. ran over the names of Catholic
priests who have declared for woman
suffrage.
We are sorry Cardinal Gibbons is not
with Them she said. but more for
his sake than ours. He can't stop US"

To Clean Stove,

When cleaning stove that has
been splashed with fat from the frying
pans the best plan is to take a piece
of rag and dip it into the soft SCOT at
the back of the stove, rubbing the
greasy parts before applying the
backing. This improves the appear
ance of the stove, and you can polish
it without difficulty.
