What Do Women Want?

Omaha, Feb. s.-To the Editor OF
The Bee: We are convinced that the
only fair and democratic method OF
settling the question of woman suf-
frage is by referendum to the women
themselves. Ever since 1895 when
referendum was submitted to the
women of Massachusetts and only 4
per cent of the qualified women vot-
ers of the state signified their desire
for the ballot, the suffragists have al
ways feared referendum to the
women. Our own recent school cleo
tons show how few women really
want to vote. At the last election
only about 1890 women voted, out of
qualified electorate Of 10000.
The Anti-Suffrage association OF
Ohio is taking poll Of the state on
this question. This is the first veri-
fed referendum poll ever taken IN any
state among the women on woman
suffrage. The poll at the present
showing stands

st. Mary, Neb., Feb. 9.-To the
Editor of The Bee: I note in The
Bee travelling man makes the state
ment that fallen women lead such
a life because they prefer it" I would
like to ask him upon what theory he
bases his authority for the assertion.
I am inclined to believe it is more
from necessity than from choice. We
we'll know that an employer will not
pay the employees what they earn, but
only the least amount at which he
can possible retain their services, for
a certain employer was once asked,
'How is it possible for your lady
clerks to live on such wages as they
are receiving?" The employer replied
Il was told by travelling salesman)
IT pay them enough for board and
room, and girl that cannot earn
enough on the side for clothes and
other expenses is d-n poor girl"
1t is deplorable fact that there are
so many fallen women. But why con-
tinually pirate about women? What
assurance Is there that the men have
them not beaten, two to one, on an ac-
tual count, if the whole truth were
known?
There are some men who seem to
delight in everlastingly prating about

The Travelling Mems Profession.

LILO lGdtC1llk AkCAI TolCSStOhs
Columbus, Neb., Feb. 9.-To the
Editor of the Bee: Kindly permit us
space in your valuable paper to an
swer briefly the charge made against
the travelling mems profession by J.
F. Brilliant Chat they are largely re-
sponaible for the girls going wrong).
He says that he knows, that he has
been there" and "can speak first
hand" A man that speaks or writes
like that ought to have had extensive
personal experience to be qualified to
judge why the girls go wrong. We
have been on the road a good many
years but have always been too busy
to hold our position to acquire that
knowledge, with which Mr.. Brilliant
handles the subject However. we
have observed few fellows in our
time getting on the road who seemed
to think 1t a part of their business to
acquire that knowledge Of which Mr..
Brilliant seems to boast, but those
fellows never lasted long on the road.
We take it from Mr.. Bril1hart's letter
he is not on the road now; there is
a reason, Of course. II a man makes
good on the road he usually stays
there till he dies or gets killed and in
order to make good he must be indus
trious and put in about fourteen or
fifteen hours day looking for bust
ness and getting enough to satisfy
the firm that he is worth keeping and
we don't see where he has any time
left to acquire the experiences and
qualifications Mr.. Brilliant claims to
possess. We resent the charge he
makes when it is made against the
travelling mems profession at large of
today, of which we are members

WARS BIGGEST AIR RAID

London endured the greatest air raid
in its experience today. Twenty German
machines bombedthe city at $3.50 clock
in the morning, killing 81 persons and
injuring l4l, according to official an
nouncement.
Three of the arplanes which took part
in the attack were brought down at sea
on the return trip, British airmen at
Dunkirk prepared to intercept them,
but they took more northerly route.
The Dunkirk flyers, in the course of
their patrol, brought down seven ma
chimes of another German squadron.
For period variously estimated up
to quarter of an hour the German air
planes flew over the metropolitan area,
dropping their cargoes of bombs in full
view of millions of spectators. The
raiders were engaged by British air
craft and anti-aircraft guns, and UNI
doubtedly never in the worlds history
has any battle on land or sea or in air
been waged in sight Of so many people
