Susan B. Anthony's Militancy.

To the Editor of The Star:
The banners displayed by the ''pickets"
at the White House on the birthday of
Susan B. Anthony. carrying quotations
from her speeches and writings, sep
arated from their context, evidently
were intended to convey the impression
that Susan B. Anthony was herself a
militant" and that during the civil
war she put woman suffrage before the
preservation of the Union. Miss An
thony was militant in the sense in
which we speak of the church mill
tant," always courageous and aggres-
sive in writing and speaking for her
cause, but never sanctioning in the
slightest degree anything in the ma
ture of militancy through physical
demonstration She was unalterably
opposed to political partisanship, believ-
ing that the suffrage could be obtained
only through the assistance of its
friends in all parties.
Her record during the civil war. brief
ly stated, is as follows:
Early in 1861 when Miss Anthony be-
gan to prepare for the annual suffrage
convention, she was urged to abandon
it, but she was not willing at that time
to do so. AS soon, however, as the coun-
try was in the midst of war, neither
she nor any of the other leaders made
the slightest effort to hold a conven-
ton or suffrage meeting of any kind or
to press their claim for the ballot
until 1866, after the war was over and
the proposed amendments to the fed
eral Constitution became the subject of
wide discussion.
In January, 1863, at the request of
Senator Charles Sumner and his col
leagues who We're working for the
emancipation of the slaves, Miss An
thony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton is
sued a call for "a meeting of the loyal
women of the nation" in New York
city, which declared: I'm this crisis it
is the duty of every citizen to
decide what sacrifices of wealth and
life are demanded for the countrys de-
Tense and preservation" At this meet
ing the Woman's National Loyal
League was formed, and headquarters
established in Cooper Institute. To its
work Miss Anthony gave every day of
her time for the next year and half,
raising money and collecting petitions
to be sent to President Lincoln for
emancipation. The other leading suf-
fragists, including Mrs. Stanton, Lucy
Stone. Lille Devereux Blake and
scores of others, assisted in this work.
They secured 100000 names, and again
and again Senator Sumner and Vice
President Henry Wilson wrote Miss
Anthony: These petitions form the
bulwark of the demand for congress

what slender, trim Miss Swiftfoot
thought Of Reddy Fox as side by side
they rested in the Old Pasture and
Reddy told her how beautiful she was
only she herself can tell What she
thought of him later she did tell, but
that is another story OF one thing
Reddy felt certain and that was that
she didn't dislike him. If she had dis
liked him she would have run away
Tor she had proved that she was swifter
Of foot than he. Once or twice Reddy
thought that he had seen something
like admiration in her eyes as she
looked at him. AT least he liked to
think that this is what 1t was.
Perhaps it was this look in her eyes
that started him to Dragging or per-
haps 1t was what Miss Swiftfoot said
W tTl he told her how beautiful he
thought her and she had replied that
he was fooling and had pretended not
to believe he really meant it,
You are very handsome yourself and
you look very strong and brave" said
Miss Swiftfoot, after Reddy had in
sisted that he had meant every word
he had said. Right away Reddy's
tongue was loosened and he began to
brag, which you know is to boast. A
little fattery will always start Reddy

which Old Granny Fox never succeeded
in curing him of, although she tried
her best to from the time he was
little fellow.
"A Dragging tongue will soon or late
Lead straight to trouble fate"
Reddy had heard more times than he
cared to remember Yet, in spite of
the fact that he had many times proved
it to be true to his own discomfort, he
never could let a chance to brag go
by. 1t was habit he simply couldn't
break himself of. Perhaps he never
really tried, or perhaps he really fooled

OF course, this wasn't true. He was

haps he meant that he wasn't afraid
they ever would hurt him because he
was smart enough to keep out of their
way. This was true enough. But as
for facing any one of them in quar-
rel Reddy wouldn't dare to for a
minute.

Bread Prices and Weights.

To the Editor of The Star:
From indications, as reported in the
press, there seems to be an apprehen-
sion that concealed effort is to be
made by the baker interests to put up
the price of bread. and that Representa-
tive Henry T. Rainey of Illinois has
very wisely scented the danger from
afar and has addressed letters to the
federal trade commission and the De-
partment of Agriculture on the sub
ject.
Some weeks ago Representative Will
liam S. Bennett of New York agitated
officially this matter, which, it is to be
hoped, is receiving the legislative con-
sideration and action it properly de-
serves. But why dwell upon and dis
cuss the price of loaf of bread when
it's weight is not standardized by law:
This accomplished, the market price
of good quality of bread can better
be regulated: in fact, the consumer will
then be in position where he himself
can see when the law is obeyed and
disobeyed.
If, after the weight of a loaf OF
bread is legaiized. it can be demon
strated by the baker interests and their

In commenting on spring and sum-

that neckwear and dress accessory

HIGH HEELS OR LOW.

Why do women persist in wearing high
heels?
Women have emancipated themselves
from tight stays, and have taken on the
low collar habit and are dreadfully stub
born about changing them for high ones.
The story goes that high heels first
came into favor with certain French
king who wished to appear to be taller
than he was. The high heels added
several inches to his seeming stature
and he was pleased to call himself a tall
man. Queens, too, have wished to seem
more majestic in height than nature made
them and heEce they have taken on high
heels.
But surely that is not the reason why
| women of today persist in heels two
inches high. For girls of Amazonian
proportions affect them as eagerly as
those who are petite. Girls whose many
pounds of weight would surely entitie
them to a more substantial support than
| the narrow girth of a French heel hobble
about on French heels assuming com
Portable expression merely because they
| feel that do not look dowdy.
For somehow many women regard the
| low-heeled shoe as either dowdv or man
nsh French heels are feminine and
even the most Independent OF women Mno
scorn womanishness do want to look
feminine.
Some one once ascribed the charm
that lies in the French heel and does
not appear in the low heel of any descrip-
ton to the fact that it proionss and
| accentuates the curve of the feminine
ankle. a curve that in a well formed
! woman continues in perfect line
| throughout the entire figure.
| The French heel is artistically at least
| the natural and graceful termination OF
| this curve. The fiat heel, according tc
| this explanation. is out of harmony
| with the curve and spoils the whole eff
feet by terminating ii abruptly. Per
| haps that is the real explanation.
| At any rate the French heel does per-
sist. The only hope for relief from
| it is to be looked for in the fact OF
| it's overpopularity. Then, as in other
decades, it would be less favored only
| for short time and would return
| again as soon as we have recovered

style of footgear. But. judging from

Food Supply and Farm Life.

To the Editor of The Star:
Your editorial of Wednesday on
Food Riots in This Country brings
fercibly to mind the uneven distrfbu-
ton Of population throughout the
United States and unwillingness of
these same rioters to go out and help
produce farm products. I have a farm
in southern Onondaga county, New
York state-one of the best potato
producing sections OF the country: yet.
with house, fuel. vegetables. fruit and
good salary, we are unable to get help
to till more than two-thirds of the
acreage, and whatever we do for these
people they soon become dissatisfied
and return to their old environments.
With these inducements we are unable
to get responsible farm help. Is it any
wonder country people lose sympathy i?
