SUFFRAGIST MISSTaTENENTS.
\ Few Of Them Pointed out by an Ad,o-
cate NJ the Home Ruiers.

fHIt W l1t tOHe hulfFAs
To THE EDfToR or Tue suN--sir.
see In Tue SuN this morning that the
suffragists are already claiming that the
passage OF a resolution to submit the
question OF woman suffrage TO the people
Of the State of New York will be a vic
tory for them. This IL characteristic.
Both political parties have declared in
favor of submitting the question to the
vote of the people. The home rulers as
my daughter likes to call those who are
opposed to the extension OF political suf-
frage 20 women, are just az DESTROYS OF
having the question decided by our people
as the suffragists are. We beat them in
ohio by a majority OF 10000. We ex-
pect to beat them in this State by stlll
larger majority.
Let mo add that this claim seems to
me thoroughly characteristic OF the meth
DDS OF the suffragists. Like all fanatics
they see through "A discolored medium
and do not appreciate the difference be-
tween truth and falsehood
They are sending through the country
a series OF moving pictures in which they
pretend to represent the condition OF the
law IN this country Ia reference to
women. Every statement OF the law in
this series is absolutely untrue. with the
single exception that In some OF the suf-
frage states there II no right Of dover
This right exists in every state that does
not give political suffrage to women
In recent article in the Womdn's
Home Companion there were similar false
statements In regard TO the English law
which that magazine was glad to correct
These were put forward as justifying the
violence of the English suffragists. For
example, IL was stated that there was no
right OF dover I'm England. This state
ment was slngularly stupid, for every one
with the slightest knowledge OF history
knows that the right Of dover was guar
anteed by Magma Charta and has been in
existence in England ever since.

many things suggest themselves which

from the interruption OF the electric

to have an independent system Of light

MORE GOLD FOR MONEY.
Decreased Production Wfset by smaller
Non-mOnetary Consumption.

To THE EDITOR or THE SUN-Sr: Two
surprises have attended the develop
ments of the worlds gold production
In 1914, namely, tho decrease in Can
ada and the increase in the United
States compared with the previous year.
The Canadian figures are not yet def
nitely official, but usually there Is only
a small difference from the preliminary
Mint estimate for this country in the
final, revised estimates. The eXpecta-
ton OF most expert observers had been
for a gain by Canada and a loss for the
United States.
The gain for the United States is
about $4,000. 900 and is the first years
increase since 1911. The figures since
1909, the year of maximum output.
were: 1909. s99.673.4 400; 1910. 500. 1889. 100: :

The vast amount OF credits and Of
Government paper In various forms
created by the necessities of the Euro
pean war gives peculiar importance to
the worlds supply OF new gold. In
fact prior to the war the extraordinary
efilux OF gold from the Western nations

demand from the East, II reached over

the worlds total yield IN those years.
while industrial consumption was al a
