TUFT FOR SUFFRAGE "NOT YETJUT SOON" Recognizes That Women May Get Ballot, but Urges That They Wait a While Longer — Ex-President William H. Taft de fnes his personal attitude in the mat ter of woman suffrage in the current issue of the Saturday Evening Post. In the much-satirir.ed words of the late E. H. Harriman. the ex-President is for woman suffrage, "not yet, but soon." "But, though I am opposed to woman suffrage now, I recognize that it is likely to come some time." writes Mr. Taft. "If it can be delayed until e great majority of the women desire it, and have become better prepared to exercise it. I think it will be a cor rect and useful extension of the demo cratic principle. The benefit it will ultimately bring will be in greater solidarity and strength to the govern ment. because of the increase of the electorate and in widening women's sphere of thought and action by added interests and responsibility." Mr. Taft handles his subject in his vsual good humor and qualifies re peatedly by pointing out certain dis tinctions. He tells at the outset of how he is on record as favoring woman suffrage, and this should put some of the press agents for various suffrage organizations to shame. As they have eagerly searched to find wherein prominent men have championed the cause, they are to be sympathized with for not delving into the records of the old Woodward high school, in the East End of Cincinnati, and bringing to light the commencement address of William Howard Taft. who enlight ened his other youthful oompanions on the justice of woman suffrage. The former President admits that he es poused the cause. whole-heartedly more than forty years ago. Both For and Against the Cause Among other things Mr. Taft says that, when he hears the arguments of ardent suffragists and the promises of so many good things to come, he is in clined against the cause. On the other hand, when he hears the arguments of the antisuffrngists of the dire results, he says, he finds himself out of sym pathy with their views. As to the mat ter of regarding the privilege of voting as an inalienable right, inseparable from citizenship, he states: ' The question, then, whether women shall be given the suffrage is to be argued and determined on the issue whether it would he better for the government, for society and for the women that they should vote, and not on any a priori theory that it is their right." Mrs. Armour Will Not Appear Against Thieves Chicago. Til.. Sept. t>.—Two suspects were held by the authorities last night while detectives visited police stations in an effort to find among the pris oners the two men who on Monday night held up and rohbed Mrs. J.

Earlier in the day Mrs. Armour was asked to attempt to identifr several suspects, among whom was Melville Reeves, known as the "skvscraner burglar." who was released after Mrs. Armour declared that he was not one of the two men sought.
