Dr. Anna Howard Shaw Addresses
Large Audience at City Hall.
URGES EQUAL SUFFRAGE TO ALL
Attrlhates TronMp In nmttniul to

Ilrnileil Stupidity of the
Men.
"tf Englishmen had the sense that the
American men have In matters of
"einnn suffrage," snla Anna Howard
Shaw, tn addressing a large audience In
the council Oamber of the city hall
last nlsht. "there would be no smash
ing of letter boxes and the other ridicu
lous things that are occurring In England.
It Is the pig-headed stupidity of those
KtiKllslimen that has made all that
trouble possible. They have simply re
fused oven to receive tho petitions of
tho women In Parliament."
Dr. Shaw, president of the National
Woman Suffrage association, was to have
talked to the teachers of the city. The
audience, however, was .by no means
made up of teachers alone, for men and
women of all ages filled the house even
to the gallery.
Dr. Shaw was plenslng In her address,
and drew forth repeated applause. Her
courtesy to the long standing arguments
of men against woman suffrnge Was un
failing and never did sho grow real sar
castic. She simply laid hare some of
the stock arguments of antl-suffragu In
such u ruthless way that their absurd
Ity was self evident.
IMcnila for tlir llnllot.
"My appeal is that they remove from
us the stlcma of disfranchisement. As
teachers, how is it possible for a politi
cal nonentity to educate and train an
Intelligent political entity?"
Tho speaker took up the argument of
ono man In the south, who had said ho
did not want his wife to go down and
vote with 50,000 "niggers," adding that
If this wise man had bethought himself
a moment ho would have realised that
no person votes with 00,000 other Per
sons, whether "niggers' or whites.
"At the same time, what a reflection
on himself it was to assume that his
wife would loavo him on election day
and sneak away with 60,000 'niggers' to
vote.
"Wo have been given the right
to vote on school matters," sold tho suf
frnslsit leader. "Well, tho education of
the young of the land has been consid
ered of so little Importance that wo have
been conuldered competent to pass on
such matters, but never competent to
voto on matters of street cleaning, hand
ling of garbage and many other of the
Important things of city government.
"We Havo been told that Government de
rives Its Just power from the consent of
the governed. People havo romarked that
freely on Fourth of July and on other pa
triotic occasions Just exactly as though It
were true. As a matter of fact, not a
word of It la true. We have been told
Just as pompously that the voice of the
people is the voice of God. Thoso whu
,mouthed this sentiment forsf.)t that tao
volco of God consists of a soprano as
well os a bass, and that tho voice of tho
people will never be the voice of Uoa
until tho soprano and tho bass minglo
In dlvlna harmony."
Criticism for Wilson.
President-elect Wilson came In for a

I,..,.- in ,l..l,ntn Hin Ktiffrnea nueetlon w'th
himself, according to Dr. Shaw, Tin
mJenker referred to the article written
by Wilson In tho current tssuc of tn
World's Work, entitled, "Free Men
Need No Guardian." She said she ex
pected to send it back to him with some
changes and suggest that "Free Women
Need No Guardian, Either."
Dr Shaw told of how she happened to
take up tho suffrago movement. She
told of tho settlement work she had at
tempted to do In the slums of the cities.
She found she had nothing tho fallen
women wanted. She said they did not want
her religion, and so she went awav and
studied medicine. She came back to them,
hoping to help them and was satisfl-d
that sho had helped a few lndlvldua'
cases, but at last it dawned upon her that
the was not striking at the bottom of
things.
"I found at last," Dr. Shaw said, "thJt.
1 was like a man with an ambulance
standing at thd bottom of a preclpii;?,
gathering up tho broken fragments of
persons that fell over tho cliff. I decided
I could not help them and I decided to
look about mo and find out who oould
I found there was no use talking virtue
to a girl who Is starving; I found that
what is needed for girls Is financial in
dependence. They must have an honest
day's wuge and they must have work In
conditions and surroundings in which thai
are ablo to keep their self respect. The
first thing we must do then is to take
away from women the brand of Inferior
ity which they now carry and give them
a chance. This brand .of Inferiority Is their
disfranchisement."

TO REJECT SHERIFF'S CLAIMS
County Attorney Advises Board Old

Any Slrtney Hrorircu iuui lie
Turnfil Over tto Connty,
Harm thr Attorney.
Sheriff McShane'n claim against th
county for feeding the prisoners at th
rata of GO cents a day a prisoner, will be
rejected by the- board of county com
missioners on advice of County Attorney
George A. Ma&ney. Mr. Maguey has In
formed the commissioners that In his
opinion the action of the supreme court
In holding the contract feeding law un
constitutional, does not re-establish tho
old law, giving the sheriff the privi
lege for feeding prisoners at SO cents a
day etch. Arthur Mullen, attorney for
McShane, says the snerin can ciaim u
cents a day and win.
"I have studied the statutes In th feed
tnc matter." said Mr, Marnen "and I
anr convinced that the sheriff can collect
only the actual cost of feeding the pris
oners. While tho supreme court held
against the contract feeding law Its rul
ing does not affect the statute fixing the
sheriffs salary and providing that he
must account to the county for all his
fees. That law still Is In effect In rav
opinion. The ruling agajnst the contract
law simply places the feeding In the
sheriffs hands, but does not permit him
to arbitrarily charge B0 cents a dy. Tho
sheriffs salary Is t,000 a year; he must
account to the county for alt monies
that como Into his hands. All he can col
lect from the county Is the actual cost or
expenses he Incurs In feeding the pri
soners. If It costs him 60 cents a day each
ho can collect that; but If It costs htm
only 19 cents or 30 cents or any other
amount, then that Is all he can collect.
In my opinion."
Nevertheless, the board will continue
to urge enactment of the bill now In tha
legislature to make feeding graft Im
possible.
