MISS ANTHONY NoT NEUTRAL.
was Not Opposed to PoIitic.i rarti-
sanship, Helena Hiu Weed says.


Editor The washington Herald: The
following statement regarding Susan b.
Anthony has appeared In newspapers all
over the country:
''She was unalterabiy opposed to polit-
ical partisanship. believing that the suf-
frage could be obtained only through the
assistance Of its friends in all parties.'
Historical evidence does not bear out
this assertion. In 1859, at the first ma
tional convention OF the Nationa' Asso-
citation. Miss Anthony's position was
enunciated by the president in the fol-
lowing words:
mo harmonious action on any question
can ever be secured except as a strict
party measure. Hence we appeal to the
party in power"
In 1872, after all the parties had, through
their platforms. taken their stand on the
woman suffrage issue. an, appeal was sent
out In the name OF the National Woman
Suffrage Association.
Women of the United States" it read.
the hour for political action has come!
For the first time In the history of our
country woman has been recognized in
the platform of a large and dominant
party"
On another occasion she said:
i was never surer OF my position that
no self-respecting woman should wish or
work for the success of a party that
ignores her political rights
This was the Identical position taken by
the Congressional Union and the wom.
ans Party in the recent campaign. II
indorsed no candidate or party, but op-
posed the party in power, which. with
me power to act, refused by official eau.
Gus vote, to aid the cause of women
After reading the papers today. and
noting the small consideration given to
the disfranchised women who forgetting
the tight of women for women. gave their
ald 10 the Democratic party. regardless
OF Its opposition to their sex, l am won.
derIng II perhaps they will not ponder
deeply on Miss Anthony's words Of 1872
cannot understand how any self-re,
specting woman can do otherwise thar
retuse to accept any party that ignore.

FLAY'S BRYAN'S LOGIC.
silva Laughs at CommOner's Plan
for Handling Germaa situation.

Editor The Washington Herald: The
logic of Bryan, or rather the utter
lack of Bryan's logic. is, 1t appears, one
of the strangest positions that ever pos
sessed a man of his mentality and stand
ing in any country or among any people.
| If l get this viewpoint correctly, it is
| this: No matter what Germany may now
do to us, short of an open and avowed
attack, invasion OF our country, we shall
do nothing. If. without notice, and vio-
lative of all law. human or divine, nation
al or international, she attacks and sinks
our ships and sacrifices American lives.
We must make no resistance.
II Germany seeks, as she is seeking.
TO destroy the civilization of the world
and outrage justice and liberty and hu,
manity on land and sea. we shall not
"wallow in blood" to help the world muz-
zle or kill this mad dog among the ma
tons of the earth: but shall patiently
wait until the wsr is over and then call
Germany to account. and put in our bill
of particulars against her. and demand
that she shall pay us, and then IL she re-
fuses TO do it, to compel her to do it,
when we will have only Germany to
reckon with.
Now, look at the utter absurdity, as
well as, the appalling danger. not to men,
ton the selfishness and heartlessness of
his position; as mad a proposition. it
seems as ever in all the tides Of time
haunted the brain of a great man and
great leader of the people in days gone
by. II Germany should succeed in con-
ouering Europe, including Great Britain,
as she is trying to do, what sort OF a
figure would we cut in trying to collect
our damages with the sword against her.
after she shall have conquered all
Europe Would she not then be in po-
sition to laugh at our efforts to collect
our debt, and even to whip US to a finish
should we resent her sneers and hsf re-
fusaI to pay7 II combined Europe, with
her millions of men. and gigantic prepar-
edness. cannot whip Germany, we would
cut a sorry figure, to be sure, in trying
to collect, in the methods Of Bryan. our
account against her for all the human
lives and property she may in the mean
time have sacrificed. silva.

SAYS PIcKETs HURT CAUSE
Sun DenOuRees Methods OF Miss
Paul and Follower.

Editor The Washington Herald: Please
publish the following open letter 70 Miss
Alice Paul. president Of the Congressional
Union for Woman Suffrage.
Dear Miss PAUL. have a notification
from your organization Of the intention
of a great delegation OF voting women.
accompanied by unenfranchised women
to march upon the White House on sym
day, March 4 and an invitation 70 Join
this delegation. / must decline your in
vitation and call your attention to the
fact that more than a year ago formally
requested that my name be stricken from
your list OF members.
Il do not yield to any advocate or
woman suffrage in earnest belief in. and
devotion to the cause. But since your
organization adopted aggressive, partisa n
tactics. and methods Of offensive per
sonal heckling Of our President, I with
drew my name and was no longer in SYM
pathy with your work. In my own prt-
vate opinion you have done more to ham
per the cause and to antagonize the men
! who have the power to enact legislation
than all other causes combined
'T am proud TO say that am member
Of the National woman's Suffrage As
sociation. whose methods are entirely diff
ferent from yours. and much more effec-
tive because they do not degrade
Woman's impregnably intrenched position
on this subject by antagonizing methods.
and childish tactics. such as the picket
ing OF the White House. i have no sym
pathy whatever with q spirit that does
not bury all personal and sex questions
and rally in every possible way to the
support OF the government at a time OF
threatened national calamity
1T would seem that the womanly part
at such a time as this would be TO re-
frain from all demonstrations that have
a tendency to add one jot or little to the
Presidents burdens.
Very sincerely yours.
