Mrs. Gait Rallies
German Women i'm
Reichstag Address
Men Have Bungled Affairs
of World, Says Suffragist;
Urges Her Sex to Widen
Sphere i'm Government

BERLIN, Nov. IL lBy The Associated
Press) Several hundred persons had
the novelty OF hearing an American
woman speak from the Reischtag trib-
une when Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait
to-day delivered an address under the
auspices of the Woman's League Of So
eial Welfare Workers of Greater Ber-
lin. 1t is believed this was the first
time such a privilege was ever accorded
foreigner.
The illness of Mrs. Gait, contracted
IN rome fortnight ago, reached such
a stage to-day that after the address
her physician ordered her TO bed and
prohibited her from receiving visitors.
The physician said later that her ILL
ness was not likely to become grave,
but that precautionary measures were
deemed necessary on account of the
age of the patient.
MRS. Gait had planned to leave Ber-
lin for Paris to-day, but will be un-
able to depart for several days. From
Parls she expects to go to London and
then to South America.
Addressing her audience in the
Reischstag in English, Mrs. Gait said of
the results of the war and the delay in
the settlements connected with IL:
omen never again Will have quite
the same romantic faith in men. Men
of the world have made SO much of a
mess of things that no one yet knows
how it will come through"
After all the frutless conferences
and talk engaged in by men since the
war, Mrs Gait continued, women were
getting tired of waiting and believed
themselves able now to take hold of
some one thing and do it right. In
quiries during her European tour had
brought forth sentiment in favor of
having the women of the world get
behind the coal question and carry on
such propaganda that there would be
enough coal for everybody.
Democracy and the emancipation Of
women Mrs. Gait cited as the greatest
things that had come out Of the war.
She urged the German women to keep
up their faith and act unitedly for
, their country. Illness prevented Mrs.
Gait from remaining to hear her ad-
dress repeated in German
Frau Adele Schreiber- Krieger, So
cialist Deputy and president of the
league which had charge of the meet
ing, presided.
Mrs. Gait was received by Chancellor
Wirth Saturday afternoon and in the
evening was rendered a reception by
the W. lan's league.

will be nominated for a judicial posi-
tlon. They will drive the great judges
from public life and substitute for
them men who will take and obey or
ders and be content to be judges in
name and in name only.
Il stand upon the question of prin-
ciple and say that\it Is not a question
of individual. 1t is not a question of
party. The principle--before us is
'Whether or not we shall permit our
bench to be bossed and ruled by out
side influences. Shall we not only per-
NIT but really require our judges to
be be ,ssubservient to political bosses !?
Shall we require in the future that our
judges, when taking their oath of Office,
shall take it with reservations and
qualifications and to say not alone Il
shall support the Constitution of the
United States and the Constitution Of
the State of New York and administer
justice evenly between man and man.
shall decide cases only upon the evil
dence which comes before me- But is
he also to swear to follow the orders
of Murphy or Koenig or some other
boss and to bet them favor their friends
or their patrons at the expense of
truth and justice? That is the ques-
tion before us. That is the question
that must be submitted to the people
of New York. And upon question so
submitted I have no doubt what their
decision will be-"
New-York tribune., 1922-10-07

ciple that the judiciary of our country
must be independent = must be free
from dictation from any and all quar-
ters
"Ths is contest between the peo-
pie and the bosses. If the bosses can
strip the gown from one man this year
because he did not do their will they
can do it next year to the judges whose
terms are about to expire ana they
can do it every year to the end Of
time. Their action in this case is
open, brazen, cynical notice to every
judge upon the bench that when his
term expires he can be returned to
the bench only upon the terms of the
bosses.
"Mr. Murphy's soft-voiced friends
say I was not renominated because /
spoke disrespectfully of him and would
not go and ask him for denomination
They say l have been turned down-as
they phrase it--because | did not see
Mr.. Murphy. Well, I did not see Mr..
Murphy, and if that is the reason for
his action / take up his challenge and
leave the outcome to the people. l
am willing to let the people say
whether a man who has served a term
upon the bench with satisfaction to
lawyers and litigants must see Mr..
Murphy in order to be renominated.
"They say Mr. Murphy put me on the
bench. / deny it. I went on the bench
before the Democratic party had be-
come the pocket piece of one man, and
do not wish to remain upon the bench
if l am to remain there only because
Mr.. Murphy or Mr. Koenig or both of
them have so decreed.
81 am irrevocably against the infa-
nous system which has grown up here
of late years, which makes parties the
personal property of a boss and sub
ordinates historic principles to per-
sonal interest. If that system con-
tinues it will spell ruin for our coun-
try. Leadership in every cause and in
every movement is necessary to success,
but leadership here has been sue
ceeded by bossism, which is at once the
denial and the antithesis of leadership.
Tonight we meet because bossism
is reaching out its Shiny hand to seize
the judiciary and put an end once
and for all to our rights and our lib
erty. Woe to the country where one
man-garbed in silken robes-hears
the evidence and where another
hidden in the background-deci the
issue. And that is the inescapable
consequence of this system.
II am filled with respect and admira-
,tion for many of the men who to-day
adorn our bench and fearlessly and
impartially decide the questions sub
mitted to them.
"But let Murphy and Koenig once
learn that they can with lmpunity
punish and destroy those whom they
cannot control and they will see to it
that no man of character or courage
