do not see the wisdom of a suggestion that they let loose. As a matter of fact Miss Alice Paul. the leading sui fragette of the United States. scoffs al such an idea. Like the Anti-saloon League when the eighteenth amend ment was ratified, Miss Paul, iinmedi- ately after the ratification of the niEe- teenth. exclaims: Tine fight has just begun"
 This correspondent asked Miss Paul regarding the plans of the national womans party.
 Al your request men have elimi- mated the sex l,ne. will you permit tf e elimination of that line?" was the question asked.
 q haven't time" replied Miss Paul. i Ito answer questions which are absurd. | The fight for, acknowledgement for emancipation, if you will. has just begun. We ill not sit back and depend l on the votes of the people, the votes of members of Congress, to put over good candidates or good Legislation. | Nc, indeed When the railroads want | a bill put through Congress, do the railroads sit back with hands folded and permit Congress to act on the l merits of the bill without attempting l to convert those who naturally oppose | it? On the contrary, the railroads have Hobbies and these Hobbies so to the les islatures and to Congress, and stay on the job until the fight Is over. | Women will do the same.
 | All discrimination must be removed. | There is no emancipation. In other
 words, until women are paid the same | money for the same work as men, We are going to keep up the fight until | women, in every sphere, in every re-
 spect are recognized the equal of men
 and are paid accordingly"
 There is the general programme. The
 definite mode of procedure will be de-
 termined in Washington at meeting
 of the executive committee of the wom- l ans party.
 The object of the national woman's
 party" continued Miss Paul. has been
 attained. The party may dissolve it. | self or 1t may continue itself. Should l it dissolve itself. women clubs and
 societies would form a national or | ganization to continue the battle for
 the rights of women"
 /, Miss Paul .is a fighter. When she l realized that the suffrage amendment
 was radical in its departure from the I existing order of things. she adopted
 radical tactics. She was conmarder-in- l chief of the pickets which for some
 reason did embarrass the President | and Congress. She was sent to jail, | but worked out with credit to herself.
 In other words the administration did not know what to do with Miss Alice Paul. And very soon, the administra ton embraced her.
 I Tn the next fields of female endeavor Miss Paul intends thrusting herself, and her tactics, which were formerly so successful. will be put again into practice. It is generally believed that she has political ambition. She would not be content with a seat in the House | or the Senate. There is every indica- ton that she will be the first woman
 to offer as candidate for the nomina | ton hefore the convention of one of
 the principal parties for the office of President of the United States.
 l It is already hinted by propaganda that if, women are grateful they will elect Miss Paul President, and Legisla- tor Burns Vice President. Burns is the republican member of the Tennes- see legislature who turned from an anti to pro in the psychological moment
