RS. A. J. GEORGE, the anti-suffrage speaker who wa entertained
Mat a large luncheon Thursday at the I.oyal hotel, tella an amusing
story of the girl atudent at Kadcllffe college.
"Not long apo a suffrage club wag formed at Radcllffe and
the suffragists paraded their yellow ribbon and 'votes for women' but
tona. Shortly afterward, an anti-suffrage club was formed and the old
tom and black ribbon and American btauty rose were very much In
evidence. Both clubs had an equal membership, but feeling ran very blKh.
"Then one of the student, a very bright, witty young lady, announced
that ahe would organize an "On-the-Fenre' club. She gathered a number
of fellow student about her and they displayed dainty feminine banner of
pink and blue, and laid so much stress on ther alluring femininity and the
good times they were having by not bothering their pretty head on cither
side of the question that the -'On -the-Fence club soon outnumbered both
the other clubs put together."

OMAHA, Oct. 3. -To the Editor of The
Dee: Aa a candidate lor re-election os
the aehool board, I have ben subjected
to unfair and unfounded charges In eer
tain public prlnta, which t ask you to
permit me to answer.
In one of theae aril' lea reference la
made to a I.WOO annual defljlt. Every
reioiter on your paper knows, and every
citlren ran eanlly Inform himself, as to
my record on the board In the mstter of
handling the school flnnnce, from my
first yer of service. I have always stood
for economy ss far aa It was consistent
with progress. I have voted against
many expenditures that I deemed un
nereaaary or unwise at the risk of per
sonal crltlelam. nlthoiitth I .have never
placed Ihe dollnr before the child
In regard to the Husmlsel case, and th
iliamleaal and dometton of tosclirrs, I
wlah to my that the board I being un
fairly and falsely accused. Most of the
criticisms are made by people who have
been misinformed aa to the real facta of
the case. I was out of the city when tho
vote was taken which esonersted Mr.
Itusmlael, but had I been present 1 should
' . . . I Imve so voted, alnre no evidence was
brought out at the hearing or the trial
which St all proved the charge brought
against him. kWery one who knows m
l personally knows that if uny ronl evt-
ilence had been produced, proving the
charge made against 'Mr. Rusinlssl, I
should have been among the first to vote
agHlnst him I mnke no defease ever for
any man or woman whom 1 am convinced
haa don wrong.
When 1 returned home, the flnjU de
cision having been vruulo, I, as chairman
of tbe 'teachers' committee, was con
fronted with the duly of reorganising tha
teaching force, so ms to remove &U dis
cord and produce a harmonious working
force. Everyone will readily see tha need
of such harmony. Nothing ran b more
hnrmful to a school system than un
what he osld rt.t with a similar situa
tion amors his work tnr fere. If any of
the voters sincerely question why some
teacher were etnot4. 1 shall be glad
to erptaia personally.
In regard to the dlsmlssaj of Miss
Hlenger. She has ben for rem tlm a
disturbing elenjent. Bhe has shown a I 1

spirit of hostility and Insubordination
ward all school off Mala over her. I con
sider on of th essential qualifications of
a teacher to be co-operation. I know of
tin school board that would retain such a
teacher. I believe that every teacher on
the force who Is familiar with the facts,
approve ihe action of th board. Con
trary to common opintwn. Mis gleaner
had practically no evidence t offer at
the Ruamtai'l investigation, and I ahail
be ft-lnd to show anyone who questions I
that statement a verbatim report of her (
testimony oitlf4 by thw district eourt
reporter who took the testimony. Had 1
she nny evidence to offer, she' should'
hv given It when every opportunity
was given. I confeas I was surprised that '
a woman with Mlsg Rt-rner's reputation
for Justlo and Christian charity would t
repeat auoh unfounded alanderrms tales,
whUm are bound to bring ryln and sorrow
Into a horn, guch accusation should b
made only upon Convincing evidence, . j
1 have known Mies giegner personally
and have been for som tint associated '
In th same chureh with Iter, so had
absolutely no rgonal prejudice against '
her, or no personal prejudice In favor of
Mr. Rusmleel and no personal object to
gain. Therefore,'! could not have voted
In a "spirit of Petty revenge." It seems
passing etrange that a reputable eltlsen
of, Omaha, discharging an Important
trust from hi highest pens of duty at
the sacrifice of much valuable time and.
money, should t maligned and abused,
while those who so ugh t to bring dlsgrwc
upon other without any real evidence.,
hnild be aceptd a martyr la a holy
can.
I have no apologies to offer for any
of my official aetlons, but I do ask that
the fact be known, before judgment la
passed. . JOHN J. PpBTEli.
