Some Anti-Suhrage Nonsense.

In an emergency appeal for funds
recently sent out by b. Aymar Sands
chairman Of the finance committee OF the
New York State Association Opposed 10
Woman Suffrage the statement Is
made that woman suffrage, If defeated,
should for many years cease to be a 1--we
issue" This demand. which comes from
"a comparatively small but necessarily
active and noisy minority Of the women,
would add to the electorate over 2,5OO,OOO
women. inexperienced in business and poll
tics and unused to Judge of those quallil-
cations in men or those problems which
their vote will decide" Moreover, I'm the
woman suffrage states taxes are high and
government and business have been sub
iected to the operation Of useless and
harmful laws. Public officials are subject
to public opinion, often swayed by per
sonal sympathies.' The recital of these
evils. the officials Of the association think,
should move any loyal citizen to contribute
$50 to the campaig! to prevent women
from having the vote.
This is an excellent example of the
arguments" by which the anti-suifragIStS
seek to postpone the day when there shall
be no sex discrimination in the processes
of governing this democracy. With no
facts of record save that the voters OF
twelve states who desired suffrage have
been in the majority, that the members
of suffrage organizations and organl2a-
lions indorsing equal suffrage here lar
the members of anti-suffrage
that the sufragists have
dared in their parades TO be counted,
whereas the anti-suffragists have never
dared undertake 20 give such an indication
Of their strength, this association declares
the suffrage plea comes from a small
minority. Calmly overlooking The num-
bers of teachers, lawyers. physicians ana
other professional women and the vast
numbers of women in business in capacities
where they earn their living on equal
terms with men in similar capacities, TINS
declares the entire woman cleo
torate would be ignorant and incapable
of taking its proper part IN political ac-
tivities. II serenely shoulders on to the
women the responsibility for the misdeeds
i, alleges in the equal suffrage states, over
looking the fact that male voters still out
number the women in most, if not all, oil
those states. And, to cap the climax, 1t
apparently objects to the influence of pub
lie opinion on public officials, whether 1t
comes from a public Of males exclusively
of females exclusively, or the normal
mixed group.
If such a tumble Of nonsense can ex-
tract from the public many contributions
of $50. or even Of 81, it proves that there
still exists legitimate field for the gold
brick and greengoods sellers; it suggests
that the showing already made has
alarmed opponents Of suffrage. In ordi-
nary politics such an eleventh hour appeal
for voluntary contributions" frequently
tells it's own tale.

MIR. RedfeId and the President.

Secretary Redfed can hardly expect to
square himself with the President or the
country by repudiatng the views which he
has been expressing as to the proper way
to protect American producers from the
competition of dumped foreign goods. He
has accused the Washington correspondent
Of The Brooklyn Eagle" Of amazing men
dacity" because the latter telegraphed
to his newspaper as Mr.. Redfed's opin
ions conclusions arrived at in an article
which the Secretary had contributed under
his own name to The Sunday Tribune Of
October 10 last
That article was extremely candid and
explicit II developed ideas which Mr..
Redfeld had already tried on the public.
since The Tribune of October 7 contained
an editorial criticising as fantastic the
Secretary's reported project of prosecuting
"ethicaliy" American citizens or aliens
resident here who might buy or sell
dumped goods, instead Of asking Congress
tc impose tariff duty which would auto
maticaly make the cost of dumping pro-
hihitiye. Mr.. Redfeld's programme could
not easily have been misunderstood by the
President or anybody else. lie wrote
I'M The Tribune: "My own preference is
one. not as hurtful business transaction,
to be restrained Iby tariff legislation af-
fecting everybody equally, but rather as
an attempted wrong, to be forbidden

partment of Commerce Sleuths and special
agents.. / prefer. therefore. to remove
In wholly from the field of tariffs and to
deal with it, if possible by method to
which there are not such disputed re-
actions
The Secretary then suggested that the
CLAYTON antitrust law be amended 50 as
to create the crime OF buying or selling
foreign goods. legally admitted through
our custom houses. If the prices at
which such articles are bought and sold
substantially restrict competition on the
rart Of American producers of similar or
allied articles" The only basis for Mr..
Redfeld's charge of "mendacity" seems to
be the fact that he did not make the sug-
gestions referred 10 on October p, but
made them on October 10 and on other
prior dates Only last Saturday a COM
munication from the Department Of Com
merce was released to the press giving
an abstract Of an address by Mr.. Edward
Ewing Pratt on the coal-tar dyestuff in
dustry, which clearly echoed Mr. Redfeld's
well known views.
The Secretary is therefore hiding
behind a technicality. The President,
through Mr. Tumulty, has taken occasion
70 let the country know that he has not
given his approval to the Redfed scheme

Newport News, Aug. 19.-As the
result of a visit of Claiming NJ. Ward,
president and chief engineer of the
proposed Norfolk. Washington and
New York Railway. from Newport
News to Washington, preparations are
being made to have a special meeting
of the Chamber of Commerce next
Wednesday, at which time all persons
interested in the new railway are re-
quested to be present to confer with
Messrs. Ward and Cannon and several
New York men thought to be the
mysterious financial bankers of the
new railway.
Mr.. Ward stated that the failure
of the counties through which the
road will pass to grant the rights of
way Is all that is delaying the con-
struction of the road and an attempt
will be made Wednesday to clear up
the Newport News end of the situa-
ton. 1t is believed that the chamber
and the railway officials will enter into
some binding agreement whereby the
chamber may secure the rights of way
without danger OF a financial loss in
the event that the road is not built
From this city President Ward and
Mr.. Cannon, the last named one of
the biggest railroad men in the South
and an interested party in the new
road. will make trip up the route of
the proposed road in an attempt to
clearly the right of way situation.
Less than 10 per cent of the 80 per
cent of the right of way that must be
guaranteed before the construction of
the road is begun yet remains to be
secured, it Is said. Messrs. Ward and
Cannon hope to secure that and proha-
