NEW YORK Who ia the moat In

States? Who Is It that has the
strongest hold on the people,
who commands their greatest confi

the greatest Influence for good, has
the broadest, firmest grasp on the
destiny of the Amercan people?
Perhaps there ,is no question re

this one, no question allowing brood

WHAT LEADING MEN AND WOMEN SAY.
MRS. CLARENCE BURNS, President of the Little Mothers' Aid
association The most Influential woman In America today is Jane
Addams. . . .
MRS. HARRIOT STANTON BLATCH, Suffrage Leader Jane
Addams Is the most Influential, because she knows what she is talk
ing about.
ROSALIE GARDINER JONES, Suffrage Leader To my mind,
Mrs E. H. Harriman Is the most Influential woman.
SHERIFF JULIUS HARBURGER I should say Mrs. Carrie Chap
man Catt, the suffrage leader, is our most Influential woman today.
great good, you gather some idea of
the difficulty in apportioning the credit
for being the most influential woman.
Also, it Is a matter of environment,
this deciding who is the greatest fem
inine benefactor, and therefore the
most influential. If you are In a hos
pital you instinctively decide it Is the
woman who out of her wealth endow
ed such institutions; If you are hun
gry, it la the woman who. feeds the
poor. Again, you may think that the
most influential woman In the United
States Is your wife once Bhe has set
ber mind on anything.
JANE ADDAMS CHOICE.
To determine the 'question, The
Press asked a doxen well known New
York men and women to tell who,
In their opinion, was the most Influ
ential woman, and to state why.
The concensus of opinion was that
she la Jwe Addama, the good aa
maritan of Hull house, in Chicago.
Without an Instant's hesitation, three
well known New York women, when
the question was asked them, Jald the
ignally great honor at the feet of
the woman who taught the poor of
Chicago th. difference between right
and wrong.
SherlJT Julius Harburger handed
the- wreath to a New York woman.
Mrt Carrie Chapman Catt. one of the
strongest expounder of suffrage, ex
plaining in his characteristic manner
that bad Harriet Beecber Stowe, au
thor fX,Uncle Tom's Cabin," been
alive, the credit should have belonged
to her.
The Rev. Dr. Charles A. Eaton, John
D. Rockefeller's pastor, said the most
Influential woman was that wonderful
impersonal being, the American
mother.
MRS. HARRIMAN SECOND.
The Rev. Dr. John P. Peters of St.
Michael's church, was of the opin
ion that It was impossible to se
lect the one woman" with the most
influence.
This is what Mrs. Clarence Burns,
president of the Little Mothers' Aid
association, said:
"The most Influential woman In
America today is Jane Addams. Next
to her I would put Mrs. J. Borden
Harriman of New York, Miss Ad
dams primarily for the every-day
good of life. Her mission is to bring
help to the weak, food to the hungry,
hope to the hopeless, courage to the
fearing and the blessing of right liv
ing to all people. Others strive to ac
complish similar works of good, but
Jane Addams. through a rare mingling
of personality and untiring energy,
succeeds where others fail. Unques
tionably she is the woman with the
greatest influence for good in this
country, if not in the world.
' "Mrs. J. Borden Harriman of New
York, a society woman who has found
time to see the suffering of others and
has the will to aid them, is another
who commands a wide influence along
humanitarian lines. Her work in get
ting milk for the babies of the poor
will not soon be forgotten by a good
many thousand mothers of the poor."
PICKS "EVERYDAY MOTHER."
This is the way the Rev. Dr.
Charles A. Eaton expressed his opln-
INFLUENTIAL WOMEN
fib. JBotden Ifkrri7ttart.
ion as to who is the most Influential
woman:
"She Is no Individual. She is that
impersonal woman known as the ev
eryday mother. She is the most In
fluential, and always .will be, because
she is at the seat of power of the na
tionbecause, day by day, month by
month, she is molding our future men
and women. What Influence could be
stronger, further reaching, than that
which forges the destiny of the boys
and girls who, when they become men
and women, shape the destiny of the
world? There is but one answer to
your question. The most Influential
woman, and the one worthy of the
greatest love and esteem, Is the un
known mother."
NAMES MRS. 8T0WE,
"The woman who wrote 'Uncle
Tom's Cabin' was the most Influential
woman In America. She paved the
way for the ultimate welding into a
great harmonious whole the north and
the south,, as was typified at the re
cent gathering of the United Veterans
at the Held of Gettysburg. No greater

work ronld have been dons or strong
er Influences exerted thaa that exer
cised by Harriet Beecher Stowe.
"In her. absence I should say that
Carrie Chapman Catt. the suffrage
leader. Is our greatest woman today
She is a marvel In her clear diction
and analytical and logical thinking in
her speeches. I have heard her and
consider her our best public speaasr
among women. The leader of a great
cause such as suffrage Is destined to
be is a woman commanding commen
dation as exerting a wide and power
ful Influence."
KNOWS WHAT SHE TALKS OF.
Mrs. Harriot Stanton Blatch. one c!
the leaders of suffrage In New York
said:
"Jane Addams Is the most influen
tial woman In America. She is the
most Influential woman because she
knows exactly what she Is talking
about."
Mrs. Charles Henry 4sraels. widely
known as a sociological expert, also
gave the tribute to Miss Addams. She
said:
"Jane Addams is the most'trSuea
tial woman because of the feeling of
trust In her which Is universal among
all who have come In contact with
her. There is no living soul that does
not trust Jane Addams.
"The reason for this trust Is her
freedom from bias, her fearlessness of
evil, her courage for others, her sym
pathy for all. There is no woman, not
alone In the United States but in the
world, who can boast the Influence
which is Jane Addams'."
AGAIN MRS. HARRIMAN.
Rosalie Gardiner JoneB, the suf
frage leader, Is for Mrs. E. H. Harri
man. "I can simply state that the woman
to whom Davenport's book, 'Heredity
In Relation to Eugenics,' is dedicated
is one who has assisted in making
possible the study of the science
which of all others will be of inesti
mable value in its influence upon the
present and future generations. We
have received as yet only a glimmer
ing of the possibilities of the trute,
but the value to the United States and
the world of this woman is beyond
estimate, for she furthers the work
which realizes that every child has
the right to be well born. She Is
Mrs. E. H. Harriman."

saints he has two festivals, falling on
December 26 and August 3, that of the
latter date commemorating the finding
of his relics.
After St. Stephen's martyrdom his
body lay long concealed under the
ruins of an old tomb at Caphargama
la, 20 miles from Jerusalem. At this
place, early in the fifth century, the
church was served by a venerable
priest named Lucian. According to
tradition, Lucian was twice visited by
a vision of St Stephen, who revealed
the hiding place of his bones. The
priest laid the matter before the bish
op of Jerusalem, who ordered him to
search for the body of the first saint
at the place indicated.
The coffin was found and when
opened, according to the chroniclers,
"there came out of it such a sweet
odor that no one remembered to have
ever smelled anything so agreeable."
A "vast multitude" had assembled,
and, It is said, 73 persons present,
who were afflicted with various ail
ments, were immediately cured and
made well again. A portion of the
relics were left at Caphargamala, and

With Good Nature.
At the Author's ciub In New 'Tork

editor to say:
"We'd best take this law good-naturedly,

as Mark Twain took the Nola Chucky
attack on him.
"The Nola Chucky Sentinel once
said of Mark Twain:
. '"Mark Twain used to be a tailor
and, while serving on board a schoon
er, he caused the crew to mutiny and
killed the captain.'
"Mark Twain replied to this as fol
lows: " 'Dear Editor It is quite true that
I was once a sailor and that on a
schooner I caused the crew to mutiny
and killed the captain. But you omit
ted an Important point. After killing
the captain I devoured him."
