THE OPEN FORUM.
Superintendent of Markets Explains
His Attitude on Bridge Site.

Editor Of The Washington Herald:
Relative to the letter of a Mr.. g. Paine
Phillips. Of Clarendon. Va, published in
your Forum on January Z, 1t is pity
that such letter would find publicity in
a newspaper which normally has so
scrupulous a regard for truth as does
The Washington Herald. The letter IN
question bristles with misstatements Of
fact.
The statement that I have advocated
"a great market in Georgetown-nOt
Washington" is untrue We are striving
by every means in our power to put the
wholesale business In its proper economic
location in Washington. What we have
advocated for Georgetown has been that
the present unsatisfactory Georgetown
Market be converted into a receiving
terminal for trolley freight from both
Virginia and Maryland lines centering at
Georgetown, in order to relieve congss-
ton on the streets through concentration
of the freight traffic to certain hours of
the day when other traffic is lightest. a
receiving terminal in Georgetown will
make this possible without disarranging
the country schedules.
The letter sets forth the view of a
Clarendon citizen, for the enlightenment
OF The Heralds wide circle of readers.
For the benefit OF those readers, let me
point out that the same line which con-
meets Clarendon with Georgetown by the
route Mr.. Phillips condemns, also runs
into Washington over the Highway
Bridge to a terminus at Twelfth street
and Pennsylvania avenue, and all pas
sengers have a choice which route to
take; also, your readers should know
that the commuters on the Clarendon and
Great Falls lines represent but a small
part of the economic interests involved.
Mr.. Phillips evades mention of either of
these facts-they don't help his case.
There is not space to analyZe all the
misstatements and adroit efforts to dodge
general consideration of the problem.
Perhaps the most amusing is his state
ment that the old bridge with small
repairs would fill that Georgetown 81
want for many years" This astonishing
statement appears the same day that the
chairman OF he House committee, re-
ports that one of the three strong reasons
for a new bridge is the heavy expense
for upkeep of the old structure!
\ good example of the type of mis-
statement used, is in the reference tn
The Superintendent of Markets for the
District, originally hailing from Falls
Church. Va" Not only did not original
ly hail" from Falls Church, but never
lived there, and have never even visited
the place for as long as twenty-four
hours at 4 time.

THE idea of equal suffrage

Men have learned not only to believe that the
present situation is the right situation, they have
come to love it as we'll They like to think of
women as dependent on them. They like to think
of two Spheres mans sphere and woman's sphere.
They have encouraged women in the belief that
womans sphere is the home, and that mans sphere
is the world
Men have led women to believe that it is wom-
anly to be limited. And we'll have they done
the work that many women have come to love and
to take pride in their very limitations.

That all men are born free and equal is phrase
that has become part of US. And yet generation
and more ago, while that phrase was ringing in
the air, it forgotten that with equal reason it
might be said that all women were born free and
equal. Occasionally, it is true, great man like
Lincoln would utter sentiment of this kind, with
reference to suffrage, and add some such words as
"by no means excluding women" But even a man
like Lincoln could not go very far.
The Washington herald., 1915-01-11

Naturally, men enjoy this advantage. They want
to keep it. All their ideals have associated them
selves with it. Their conceding women the vote
means, when considered from narrow and selfish
point of view, not only practical loss, but SEN
sational readjustment of their ideals.
And yet the development of the inherent capa-
bties of women, considered from point OF view
that accepts women as human and as half of the
race, really means that the apparent loss will be to
society, as a whole, tremendous gain.
The Washington herald., 1915-01-11

Now why in the matter of equal suffrage
couldn't man like Lincoln go very far? Chiefly,
think, because so many of the tendencies of his
time against the idea of equal suffrage. The
superiority of men had become so established, had
become widely accepted and had expressed itself
through institutions so deeply rooted, that to en-
tertain the idea of equal suffrage like advocat-
ing anarchy. There some ideas that however
plausible they may be, seem wrong because they
upsetting. On the surface, it appears a COM
paratvely small matter that women should be al
lowed to vote. In itself it actually is small mat
ter. But it unquestionably means a step toward
social revolution. 1t means that women going
to change in their relation to men, that men are
not to keep their overpowering advantage

adopting foreign names was rife in
Russia, and on many places known in

were bestowed, most of which remain
