RECALLS INVITATION
TO VIM. H. ANDERSON
Dry Leader Incurred Enmity
of Republican Women by
Remarks.
CLUB WANTS FAIR MAN
Anti superintendent Brands
WadswOrth and Smith for
Wet Activities.

The invitation which William II An
derson. superintendent OF the Anti
Saloon League, gladly accepted to de-
bate the prohibition question before the
Women's National Republican Club has
been withdrawn. Mr.. Anderson says he
is glad of 1t, feeling proud, as he puts it.,
to have incurred the enmity of the Re-
methods.
Mrs. Charles II. sabin president Of
the club. which has headquarters at 3S
West Thirty-ninth street, let it be
known yesterday that the invitation
issued to Mr.. Aderson had been cam
celled. The debate was to have been
held January IL and while no one had
actually been chosen TO answer Mr.
Anderson. the women ha been seriously
thinking of inviting Augustus Thomas
to accept that post of honor. But on
December 16 Mrs. Sabin found 1t neces-
sary to write Mr.. Anerson thus
Il am In receipt of your letter Of De-
cember II, wherein you xpress your
willingness to debate the subject of
prohibition under certain conditions. In
the same mail several officers of the
Womens National Republican Club re-
ceived copies Of the attack made by
you upon the Senator from New York,
Mr. Wadsworth.
Club Decrfes SANDER.
This club recognizes the fact that
there are many issues upon which there
may be an honest difference of opinion.
both within and without the party. and
1t Is always glad to have both sides OF
such questions fairly presented: but 1t
does not recognize and will not tolerate
slanderous attacks upon the character
of men in public life as a form of politi-
cal propaganda. The club therefore
withdraws Its invitation to you to speak
on January IL"
In Mr. Anderson's csmmodious quar-
ters at SOC Broadway yesterday the
answer OF the head Of tho Anti-Saloon
League to Mrs. Sabin was given out
It reads:
Il have yours to the effect that your
club has withdrawn it's invitation TO
discuss the prohibition law because of
statements I made respecting Senator
Wadsworth and his notification ac-
tivity. which you call slanderous. It
has long been the custom OF male par
tisans to denounce as slanderous any
truth respecting political matters which
was unpleasant If not dangerous. But
had not expected the women to fall
Into the same rut.
II feel proud to have incurred and
hope l shall always merit the antag-
onism of any partisan cf any sex who
stands for the things that Senator
Wadsworth stands for and he and his
friends have done respecting the be-
trayal OF the Republican party with
its overwhelming majority OF dry en-
forcement membership into the hands
of Tammany."

~ months to overwork the
growing girls Of the family and
to underworld the boys. The con-
tinuous grind Of the ordinary
household tends TO keep the girls,
along with their mother, in an
endless treadmill of toll. This af.
fair calls for serious thought and
management.
Even though your fifteen.year-
old daughter looks like q grown

and spirit and she deserves the
treatment of a half-grown child.
An average Of three-fourths time

she should be permitted to do. No
matter how urgent the household
duties, they are not more impor-
tant than the rights OF the girl

them. Place the girl first and the
work second.

Call your boy as early al morn

dress quickly. Send him down to

Break him in in the habit Of
clearing off the dishes at the close
Of the heaviest meal of the day
and make him do IL well from the
