Informed her friends, "one must
keep up with the crowd."
Iter remark reminded me of
the number of people one meets
who are obviously victims of
public opinion. "What other
people will think" Is a sort of bogle which
overshadows most households.
It la aald that public opinion Is n sort
of mAral policeman, who prevents us from
fall Ins Into all sorts of faults.
That Is no doubt true, nd yet women
and men, too are far too apt to make a
red of It, and bow down to those myste
rious beings whom we vaguely describe as
"they say."
"I believe she Is quite charming, but I
can't visit her, because they say her peo
ple are quite second-rate."
"I do love to do housework, but what
would they say If I save up keeping a

"I wanted to so for a quiet vacation this
summer to a little seaside place, but they
ear that nobody ever goes o auch a
cheap place; so Instead, we spent far too
much money In a big, fashionable reeort
and will have to cut down expenses all
winter because of It"
These are some of the remarks one
hears on. every side. The problem lies In
the fact that women are not sumclently
strong-minded to let public opinion say
what It pleases, but allow themselves to
become the victims of circumstances.
We all depend too much on other peo
ple for our amusements, our tastes and

the fashion, and every one else Is wearing

The great wish of the average woman

versely, her great fear la that she shall
be left out In the cold. 8he dare not
strike out for herself.
Ilobert Lmils Stevenson was right when
he assured us that we go through the
world "like smiling Images pushed from
behind."
Independence of thought and action

Unless we learn to be Independent, we
shall never find happiness. Happiness
comes from within, and not from without.
If you expect happiness-sheer happiness
from friendship, you will bo disap
pointed. Even the best of our earthly
friends are human. And to be human
means that they are full of faults. With
the very best Intentions In tho world, they
will often fall us and frequently provo
trying and annoying In the extreme.
There Is much Joy In friendship, but It
alone can seldom give us happiness.
Itather, happiness gives us friendship, for
the happy man or woman attracts friends
like a magnet.
To slavishly follow public opinion Is to
make of one's self an automaton, and
thereby lose tho chief Joy of life. The
cultivation of Initiative, of Individuality.
Is essential to the development of every
human being. Just because other people
think that such and such a line of action,
and such and such a method of life, are
the only right and fitting ones Is no rea
son at all for tho following of the same.
"Other people" aro frequently very dull
and very stupid. They follow each other

to analyze conditions and
circumstances.

has been and will be tho
bugbear of the modern
woman.
After all, we ourselves
should be the sole Judges

If we act with common sense and recti

we can give the answer "They say

DR. SHAW REPLIES TO TAFT
Suffrage Worker Declares Ex-President
Is Inconsistent
Dr. Anna Howard Shaw attacked for
mer President Taft's expressed views on
suffrage, at a meeting In Carnegie Hall,
Camden, last night', when COO persons.
Including many men, packed the audi
torium. Doctor 8haw was at her best,
and delivered what her friends declare
the most forceful argument for suffrage
she has ever given.
"Our former President," said Doctor
Shaw, "set forth his views on suffrnirn
and contradicted hlmif n n.na . fm
- i.t ,u . . M' - '"
",,, tn vot. granted to women would
make for creator anftv an. tiA,A-
dltlons generally-but he adds that th
time Is not yet come for Improved gen
eral conditions and greater safety. I ask.
When will that time come? 'Watchful
waiting' Is a good thing, but It may be
carried too far. I have been waiting for
the time for CO years. How long does
Mr. Taft want us to wait?
"Mr. Taft saya representative govern
ment Is the best government, and I ask.
How long shall we have to wait for real
representative government?
"Now Mr. Taft says that women should
be given the vote when they have been
properly Instructed in the use of the vote.
One would hardly suppose that a former
President of the United States would be
unable to grasp the full meaning of tho
ballot. Mr. Taft evidently does not know
that the ballot Is tho most Instructive
force of our Government. It is tho great
est Instructive Instrument in the world,
and yet he says we should wait until we
are Intelligent enough to know how to
use It. How shall we ever become In
telligent in Its use If It Is denied us? You
might as well try to learn to Bwlm by
staying away from the water.
"The truth of the matter Is that
American women in the vast majority are
the most Intelligent women In the world.
What we ask is simply equal rights for
all. We believe Jn no discrimination be
tween citizens. Every year 100,000 men
are incapacitated. Who cares for them?
Women and girls. Every year through
the legalized liquor trafllc 200,000 men are
Incapacitated. Who cares for them?
Women and girls. Yet Mr. Taft says we
have not suffered."

PUBLIC NURSES URGED,
TO KEEP PEOPLE WELL
Canadian Doctor Takes Novel
Suggestion Before Conven
tion of Experts
nOCHESTEIl, N. Y., Sept. 10.-A Cana
dian physician, Dr. C. J. Hastings, of To
ronto, suggested something now snd Inter
esting to the American Public Health As
sociation, meeting hero today. He sug
gested a public health nurse, who would
cam her salary as Chinese physicians
earn theirs, by keeping the public well .,
"The qualifications of a public health
nurse," he said, "In addition to her train
ing In a recognized school for the training
of nurses, require that she must have n
special training which will equip her to
be an efficient social service agent. She
mart be n homemaker, caring for tho
rare."
That present statistics on death rates
are meaningless and useless was the dec
laration of E. C. Levy, of Richmond, Vt.
No distinction ns to conditions are made,
he said, nor as to preventable and non
preventable diseases.
"Vital statisticians," said Levy, "have
been satisfied to publish meaningless fig
ures and force the health ofllcer to get
out of the resulting difficulties ns best he
might. It Is time we call on them to
deliver the goods."
The following officers wcro unanimously
re-elected by the association:
President, Dr. John F. Anderson, Wash

Georgo W. Coler. Rochester; treasurer,
Dr. Lee M. Frankcl, New York; secretary,
Prof. Selfkar M. Gunn, Boston.

A World Made for Her
Oh, little girl, with .'the ellow curl,
Oh, little girl, with tho eyes of blue,
The world was made for a little girl,
And all the sunshine was made for you;
And all flic trees with their low-hung
bouRlis,
And all the birds nnd their songs they
sins,
And all the fields where the winds ca
rouse, They were made for you, all, every
thing. And when you're sleepy the purple night
Is made for you, with Its twinkling
stars;
And w'nen you wake comes the morning
light.
And sunshine lying In yellow bars
Across the floor and across your bed.
And the sky Is clear and cobalt blue.
And all of It, oh, my touselhead,
The sky and sun and the world's for
you.
Father and mother were made for ou.
As much as your doll and Teddy bear;
Oh. little baby with eyes of blue,
CTn, little baby with tousled hair;
And winds bring perfume of meadow
sweet. And the live oak boughs bend down and
sway;
They wait for you and your dancing feet,
They'ro longing for you to come and
play.

Boston Woman Says "Old Sin

Near Pretty Typists
BOSTON, Sept. 10. Mrs. Charlotte
Smith has demanded thnt girl stenogra
phers be kept In wire cages while at work,
so -as to prevent their employers from
flirting with tlftm. Addressing a meeting
of the Women's Homestead Association,
of which she Is president, she said!
"Just as soon as the stenographer en
ters the office the employer ogles her,
draws out a box of candy and gets
nearer. A young girl can't do anything
but bear it. Many n girl Is afraid on ac
count of her position. These old sinners
take advantage ot It. It'a got to stop.
I would havo a law passed that no man
enn have n female stenographer In his
office without a wlro cage surrounding
her."
Then Mrs. Smith hinted, darkly;
"You don't know all that I do."
Mrs. Frank W. Page, who followed her,
said that If wives gavo their husbands n
little more affection no wire cages would
be needed.

CALL OFF COURT OIOVIE' SHOW
Appeal From Censoring of "Mort

A moving picture which wns to have

In City Hall by the Vltagraph-Lubin-Sellg-Essanay
Companies, Inc., for the
benefit of President Judge Martin of
Common Pleas Court No. 6, did not
"come off" according to schedule today.
The case Involved Is one In which the
companies are appealing a decision of
the Pennsylvania State Board of Censors
which withheld Its approval of certain
portions of a photoplay entitled, "Mort
main." Judge Mnrtln decided, however,
that he would not attend tho proposed
exhibition of the film because the appeal
of the decision of the,, censors had been
taken prematurely, the censoring of tho
film not having been of a radical nature.
It was finally agreed that the objec
tionable features of tho film would bo
omitted without further efforts to gain
the npproval of the court for or against
the film.

MRS. SHELDON POTTER
MRS. POTTER THINKS HER COLONEL
JUST THE RIGHT MAN FOR MAYOR
She Is Not in Sympathy With His Candidacy, but She
Is Proud of Him as a "Splendid Example of
Practical Idealist"
By M'LISS
The Colonel's Lady (Mrs. Sheldon Pot
ter, of course, for what other Coloncl'B
Lady could get so much as a squint from
the public eye at a time like this?) is a
demure, wlnsomo little person, the last
In the world you would expect to be con
versant with municipal affairs and to
hold strong political views which sho vlg
ously declares are hers and hers alone
not the Colonel's. Colonel Potter Is an
Independent candidate for Mayor.
Just from looking at her you'd Imagine
her happiest diversions to be knitting for
the Belgians, mixing mayonnaise or
something domestic like that, but Just
when you begin to wonder which house
hold topic It would bo best to engage her
Interest In, sha'hands you" a line of talk
that might come from a tried and true
public official used to having reporters
"In" every morning, and owllshly wise
to their tricks and dodges.
"Understand," she said, determinedly,
"whatever I say are my opinions, and not
the Colonel's."
"Are you not a supporter of the Colonel,
then?" I put In timidly. "Do you, per
haps, favor Mr. Porter or Mr. Smith for
the next Mayor ot Philadelphia?"
"Of course not," she said, emphatically.
"I am so proud ot Mr. Potter and all that
he has done. I think he Is a splendid ex
ample of the practical Idealist and what
such a man can do when he holds public
office. But I am not in sympathy with
my husband's candidacy for Mayor, and
though I shall, of course, have to be en
thusiastic If he Is the successful nominee,
slll I should have been better pleased had
ho not entered the race. However, It was
a, matter of conscience and public duty
with him, and so I naturally had to step
down.
"The reason for my objection," she
continued, "is simply this: If ho Is elected
he will work too hard. If the holder of
a municipal office Is conscientious, he
finds that his duties are more arduous
than he had ever Imagined, and In order
to keep up with the day1 work and do
his full duty to the people, t Is necessary
for him to work more strenuously than
he ever would were he In business for
himself.
But despite her objections to his can
didacy, It Is plain to see that Mrs. Pot
ter considers her husband the right nnd
best man to bo the next Mayor of Phila
delphia. Her soft, pleasing voice, Is
tinged with enthusiasm and takes on a
vibrant note when she talks of what In
the Potte household are regarded as the
three outstanding Innovations for whlcs
the Colonel was responsible when he was
Director of Public Safety. They are the
striking oft pf ??.O0O fraudulent names
from the assessor's list and the wholesale
arresting of repeaters; the establishment
Of the first motorcycle aquad In the coun
try and the organization of the Market
street traffic squad: and finally, giving
to the Police Department a code of pro
cedure. the first of the kind It had ever
bad, which enabled every officer charged
with an offense to be furnished with a
T uh baton goteg oat of Utn
written copy of the charges and nlso gave
him tho privilege of answering In writing.
"'I haven't taken anything else,' he
said," Mrs. Potter recalled sadly, " 'and
im not going to take that." And so I
had to do without the badge."
"But a few days afterward," this in
teresting little lady continued, "I over
heard a conversation on the street car
which helped a little bit to recompense
me for the loss. Two men In front of
me were talking politics and discussing
the men In City Hall. One of them said,
quite shamelessly: 'Well. If I were an
officeholder you can Just bet I'd grab all
there was to be grabbed.' The other an
swered, 'Well, you can be pretty sure
there's one man down there who won't
grab. That's Sheldon Potter.' I felt like
telling them that he wouldn't even grab
his own badge for his wife. But I re
strained myself."
Despite Mrs. Potter's Interest In things
political, she does not by any means dis
avow a knowledge of things domestic. '
"I've always held that when a man was
Interested In public affairs," eho said, "It
behooves his wife not to bother him with
household affairs, to use a homely ex
pression, not to 'keep his nose to tho
grindstone,' and therefore I'm very care
ful that the nrat of tho month 1b always
a happy day for him. with no exorbitant
bills, and that he will not be worried with
small home matters. A man and wife
can t both ahlne, and I am content with
my lot as keeper of the house, but If
there was one thing that always made me
angry, nnd still does. It Is for people to
assume that I can't talk about anything
but babies. I like babies, particularly my
?WnVbSt.1 "ko P0ple t0 fla"" me with
the belief that I am capable of having
other Interests."
,,.'Thl; doesn't mean, however," she sal'
'that I am a suffragist, though the Colo!
nei is. I am on the fence and expect to
stay there until I work out the problem
of jury duty. I don't approve of women
serving In that capacity, because I'm
certain that, generally speaking, we are
ruled by our emotions. Nevertheless, you
can't argue about tomorrows being Frl

about woman suffrage, because If com
