WASHINGTON. April 18. (Ppeclal Tele
gram.) Un. La Heine Helen Baker of
Ppokane, With., who created a sensation
at the suffrage convention by declaring
that married couple with more than half
a riozrn children wu on a plana with
drunkards, further txplalna her position
In the following statement:
"We consist of a body, mind and spirit.
The physical In human beings Is abnormal.
The mind has not reached Its high pedestal.
Children should be prepared for In the
samo way as we plan a house, Its furnish
ings and decoration. A majority of the
children brought Into the world are of
lust, not love. This Is the reason I say,
children are too numerous. I mean the
kind of children of which t speak miser
able misfits, human culls, sickly of body
with will and mind to match.
"What becomes of theso children these
,anble which are not wanted and ore not
Jfcepared for? Tbey are the onc-s who will
fill our asylums, prlnons, penitentiaries
and alma house.
"We spall have equality of sex when wo
are able to talk truths and live truths. We
must get away from that false modesty,
which Is dnlnr more toward ruining the
United (States and the world today than
anything else. In time to come, we shall
learn how to teach the perfection of man
kind and lees about the propagation of
seedless, helpless, thornless cactus and pigs
and potatoes. We are going to learn to
live In the mental and spiritual.
"In days to come women will be able
to meet friends of the oppoiilte sex, whether
married or not, go to the theate- with them
and affiliate with them without having a
suit on one's hands for the alienation of a
husband's or a wife's selections. We shall
learn that our best Is brought out of us
by thoso better than we are, 'and that
Uod gives uh helpers and lnsplrers. We
cannot be at our best all by ourselves.
"If I hnvo a religion It Is a religion of
human kindness a religion of possession
nd not profession. I love everybody, even
thoso who pitifully use and persecute me."

Dorothy nix Say It All Along; of
Wtnunn Reins; a Rib.
WASHINGTON. April l.-Dorothy Dlx.
In the language and gestures of an old
negro mammy, explained the needs of suf
frage as she eaw them to the, convention.
The lack of backbone Is the reason for
woman not having the ballot, she declared.
Bhe spoke as follows: ,
"I ain't never been one dat run off after
tv'ry new belief dat comes along, an' dat's
de reason dat I ain't never took up wld
die heah doctrine about things not beln'
made at de start, but Just havln' gr'owed.
Co'se everybody to, de,re taste, but hit
seems lak to me dat dem folks what laks
to claim a monkey for dere grandpaw ha
got mlKhty little pride, an' mighty little
call to brag up dere family tree.
"But I ain't evor had no trouble In be
'lleveln' dat woman was made out of man's
rib. What worrle me is why de Lawd'a
choice fell on de rib, which ain't nothln'
but a sort of rafter to hold up a man's
chlst an' swoll hit out, an' make him look
proud, but dat. ain't nowise Important In
hltself. an' dat hit Is about d easiest thing
flat a man can 'spare without mlssln' hit.
"Co'se I ain't a presumln' to crltlse de
Good Master, but hit does look lak to me
dat when he was a creatln' woman, an'
had de whole man to cut from, dat he
could have saved us a lot of . trouble ef
lie had made Eve out of Adam's backbone
Instcd of his rib.
"YaBsum. dat's de trouble wld women
down to dls very day. Dey ain't got no
backbone. Of a rib dey was made, an' a
rib dey has stayed, an' nobody ain't got
no right to expect nothln' else from 'em.
"Hlt'a becaze woman was made out of
man' rib an" from de way she acts hit
looks lak she was made out of a floatln'
rib at' dat an' man was left wld all of
his backbone dat he has got de comeup
pance over woman. Daf de reason dat we
women sits down an cries when we ought
to git up an' heave brickbats.
"What's de reason dat we women can't
vote, an" ain't gvt no say 'bout makln' de
law dat bosses us? Ain't we got de right
on our side? Yes sir. we'ee got de right
a our side. .but we ain't got de backbone
In us to Just reteh out an' grab dat ballot.
