statement, based upon offie! figures
furnished by the Treasury Depart

Limitations of Woman's Usefulness.
Mrs. Clarence Hums, ex-President
of the Wniiinn's West Hide Republi
can Club, of New York, In speaking
of her e.ierienees In public mid phll
mit In opto wo' k ways:
"No women inn lie long In public
life without finding out how she is
limited ii in I her usefulness elrciim-serilH-d
by the hick of the. lmllot. I
am not an active suffragist, but I can
understand why women need tlie
suffrage and bow It would strengthen
every cause In which they are Inter
ested. t spink from experience. I went In
to public ami philanthropic work ab
solutely opposed to suffrage for wo
men. I could not see bow a woman
of refinement could want to vote. I
thought men could and would do ev
erything necessary.
'I have found my mistake. Again
and again I have seen bills wc work
ed for thrown out liecause only wo
men, voteless women, were advocat
ing them. Women .ls'fore legisla
tures are treated with the utmost
courtesy. Men are too wise now to
show them the contempt of former
years. But, with charming polltness
and the most defeientinl manner im
aginable, thev kill tiie bill forvhieh
women have worked hard and long.
'They would not do it if women
had votes. They Mould consider long
and seriously before alienating 100,
000 women witli ballots in the irhands.
"Women have to find these things
out gradually. They may have to
learn them by experience, as I did, I
am thoroughly convinced that no wo
men can be long in public work with
out finding out that a great many of
tho things she wants can lie reached
only through the lmllot." ,. ,
