Can readers of The Evening World suggest some way In which picketing can be dealt with by women who oppose it? I asked these questions yesterday of Mrs. Ida Husted Harper, Editorial Chairman of the Lesile Suffrage Bureau. “What can we do that we have not already done?” the valiant veteran of many Suffrage campaigns repeated after me. “Miss Anna Howard Shaw and Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt have repudiated and denounced the action of the pickets in the name of the National American Woman Suffrage Association, of which they are the heads. We will welcome any sugges tion that can be made to us by any one of the 6,000 newspapers that have published editorials denouncing the pickets and calling upon us to co something about them, but who have neglected in all instances to tell us what we can do.” PICKETS DON’T BELONG TO NATIONAL ASSOCIATION. “1 will tell you of several sugges- tioms that have been made by men to me when I have asked them the same question,” I replied to Mrs. Harper. “The first is that the pickets be expelled from the Suffrage Party.” “They never have belonged to the National Suffrage organization,” Mrs. ‘Harper answered wearily. “The pick- Wilson, but Are at Loss as to What Steps to Take | Acts of White House Pickets “Members of the National Woman's Party whe constitute the pich- @& bever have belonged to the Nationa!

She takes it, gets her picture in the paper, perhaps is mobbed into martyrdom. Publicity given t pickets is the only thing that hb made them formidable, Until t Russian banner incident they we the tlattest failure you ever saw. “The National Woman's Suffrage organization deplores and repudiates the pickets,” Mrs. Harper continued, earnestly, “but it does not presume to pass upon the legality of their per- formance.

The U; applied for membership, put it fighting the Democratic Party ang the National Association is absolutely non-partisan in its policy. ‘The Congressional Union, after we had refused to recognize it, went into the West and fought some of our old- gat and best friends because they were Democrats. We could not stop that. We cannot outlaw to-day per- eons who have been outlawed from the beginning. Last May Mrs. Catt wrote a public letter to Miss Alice Paul in Washington calling upon her to withdraw the pickets because of the injury they were doing to the Suffrage cause al! over the United Btates. Miss Paul's only answer to Mrs. Catt was to send the pickets out with the treasonable Russian ban- ners which were torn from them by the mob.” CAN’T OUTLAW PEOPLE WHO ARE ALREADY OUTLAWED, “The second suggestion made in re- to the pickets is that Suffra- ostracise them,” I suggested, picketing at Washington Is by a Suffrage organization which not represent 2 per cent. of the of this country,” Mrs. r answered. “The National ‘Woman's Party does not make its memberehip publo, but Mrs. Catt, information in our possession, tes that the total membership Rot represent 3 per cent. of the Sai te of the United, States.

When he returned to his office the thrifty one was already there, wearing a gray mohair coat. A close examination failed to disclose any dif- ference in the two gray mohair coats, but a comparison of the price tickets brought about a difference in tempers. The “cash coat” was for by the one. It cost exactly ea. — The two coats were as near alike as good ma- terials careful workmanship and an identical pattern could make them.
