FORGOT ALL ABOUT THE WOMEN.

Because he did not mention women in hiß recent address on "The City of the Future,” Brand Whitlock, mayor of Toledo, 0., was taken to task by Mrs. Frederick Nathan after'the lecture. Mr. Whitlock, who is soon to resign to becomf minister to Belgium, appeared in the Hudson theater under the auspices of the League for Political Education, of which Robert Erskine Ely is director. He talked about the type of the city of the time to come, but not once did he refer directly or Indirectly to any part women may take in the administration Off the future city’s affairs. “What do you mean by leaving women entirely out of it?” demanded Mrs. Nathan, when she could get close enough to the speaker to attract his attention. “Of course wopaen will be factor in the future city.” “Why, why," stammered the lecturer, “I forgot all about the women. Didn’t I say anything about them?” : "No, you didn’t,” replied Mrs. Nathan. “Well, of course, 1 meant to. for they will be included in municipal ' administration,” was Mr. Whitlock’s answer. "And he stamps on all his letters 'Votee for Women,’ ” Mrs. Nathan remarked later. “I know it because I have had many nice ones from this suffragist mayor who is interested in much that interests ns women.”—New York Herald.
