Tide Switchi ng in the Local Stillman Battle More Writers Express Opinion on Permitting | Divorcee to Lecture Here Still the battle rages over the ques- tion of whether Mrs. James A. Still- man, of divorces court fame, shall come to Seattle to lecture on the feminist movement. Wednesday it Appeared that a majority of The Star's readers were in favor of Mrs. Stillman. Now, however, the tide seems to be switching. Here are some eample letters: Editor The Star: Personally, I should be very little Interested in Mrs. Stiliman'’s views on any subject, It seems to me, if I were in Mrs. Stillman’s place, I would have had enough publicity for a lifetime, As to the single standar of morals—why not expect highe standards of our men, rather than looser morals for women? Mrs. Stillman was finally vindicat- 4, but why encourage the commer. clalism of such publicity? What an example for the young women just forming thelr standards of life, I wonder if Mrs. Clark would be glad to explain Mra, Stillman’s no-| torlety to her young daughter of 15 or 16. Mrs, Stillman would do better to stay at*home and bring up her young son with better morals than his father had. Aren't there any good speakers for the woman's national party but noto- rloug divorcees’? Why not bring usa speaker noted for her fine qualities, like Jane Addams, Ida Tarbell or oth- | er women noted for real constructive work, rather than destructive scan- dal? MRS. M. D, YOUNG. see SHOULD SEATTL BE MADE AV FAitor The rs It is positively trim that we must remove all discriminations against women, bring about the single stand. ard of morals. But should Seattle be made the haven for such persons 8 Mrs. Stillman? It is quite true that she would, ae Mrs. Clark saya, “draw a big crowd,” but it must be remembered that this is only because she had a distinct connection with a famous divoree case, It would not be her lecture that the people would come to hear, The purpose of her lecture would be entirely lost, and in my opinion ft Is Just a just for a person to com- mit m crime or a fraud na to take the people's money for merely a cave of sight#ecing. They could just as well see the distinguished personage on the street and save their $6 for all the good and help her lecture will do for the removing of discrim inations against women and bringing about the single standard of morals, It was also stated by Mrs, Clark that “everybody had read about her." I aincerely hope that people have rend about hor, and if they have they certainly will not think {t adyan. ,tageous for themselves to spend $6 |in hearing her. AN OPINION OF A HIGH SCHOOL GIRL, | Editor Tho Star: Regarding whether Mrs. Stillman should speak in Seattle for the Woman's National party—it hardly seems to me that we are capable of |judging Mrs, Stillman from a moral |standpoint and I doubt whether I would publish anything sent to me on the subject if I were the editor. rs. Stillman was vindicated by the law of the land which we made, The highest tribunal of justice did not see fit to adjudge her guilty. | A Christian will not pass judgment as to morals untess he knows all| the facta, and a Christian person ts one who 1s free from sin, I believe that there Is but one viewpoint for | us to think about, and that is—ts it | good tact to use a person who has attained stich notoriety tn the do. | velopment of such an honorable or- ganization as the Woman's National party? I would say no, simply be-| cause the number of real Christians | in her audience will be in the minor. | ity, and neither Mrs. Stillman nor | the organization she {s to represent | will be judged fairly. } Mrs. Stillman may possess knowl- edge which many of us need, but we | should not attend her meeting unless | we desire to arn somethin; not, lest ye be judged! —F Damages Amounting| to $6,300 Requested!
