ANTI ■ SUFFS PLAN
; TO TEST AMENDMENT
i! New York, Feb. 15. Granting of
I woman suffrage 'over the heads of
the people” by legislative act ’can
not stand the tests in the courts that
will inevitably ensue” is the asser
tion made in a statement issued here
iby the National Association Opposed
to Woman Suffrage.
“These cases,” the statement con
tinues. ‘ should ratification be oblain
jed in time for women to vote this
year, will not only hold up the elec
tion result as did the Hayes-Tilden
| conflict, but possibly necessitate a'
!second election.
The statement was amplified by j
1 .Miss Mary G. Kilbreth, the president,!
[ who declared two suits would be in-j
j stituted to test the constitutionality j
'of the Susan H. Anthony amendment j
lif it becomes operatives before the
['residential and Stale elections next:
j fall. ■
I Attached to the statement, which
was signed by Miss Kilbreth. was a
I copy of a telegram sent to Governor'
llart. of Washington, congratulating
him upon, his refusal to efell a spe
cial session of the Legislature to act
upon the suffrage amendment.
| “With referendum - in Maine and
Ohio on the recent acts of their re-!
spective legislatures, a campaign toj
rescind now being carried on in Texas |
and ratification in Missouri unconsti-j

A PASTORAL LETTER
TO CATHOLIC CHURCHES
IHE FIRST IN 35 YEARS
Fn St. Mary's Church, this city, next
Sunday, as well as in oil other Cath
olic Churches of America, a pastoral
letter from tlie heads of the church
i will to read. It is the first time in
”5 years sugli : letter has been read,
and it will be an exposition of the
; ethics underlying national and inter
national social, economic and relig
ious problems. Cardinal Gibl oils said
yesterday. It will Fie offered in ser
ious spirit for the guidance of Catho
lics in puzzling p rot lent s that have
arisen, lie said.
The Cardinal also announced that a
i short synopsis of the letter, and not
the complete document, will be read.
The entire communication, compris-j
ing about art pages, or six times the
'length of the synopsis, probably will
be read in installments on succeeding
Sundays, the Cardinal added.
Ihe Cardinal had a copy of QiC ab
stract before him. Although he de
cline'! to make iis text public keforc
the direct presentation to the con
gregations. he indicated that the main
heading's are as follows Progress of
Religion. Catholic Education. Amer
ica's Pledge to the World. No .1 of
Solidaritv, the War’s First Lesson.
Justice and Charity, Marriage and Di-'
j vorce. Social Relations and Capital
and Labor.
The chairs ->n capital and labor
and those on marriage and divorce
have been considered most seriously,
the Cardinal said. He intimated tint
both capital and labor will be taken
to task for a selfish viewpoint in ad
justing their differences. Under the
heading of marriage and divorce, the
unswerving stand of the Catholic
Church against divorce will be reaf
firmed.
The letter is an outgrowth of the
[conference of Catholic prelates last
J September in Washington. The com
mittee actively engaged in its prepar
ation was composed of Cardinals Gib
bons and O’Connel, and Bishop
lian. rector of the Catholic Univer
sity of America.
