IS THE BRITISH DEGENERA
TING.
If the British people permit
militants of the Emmiline Pank-
hurst stripe to frighten them by
threats of reprisals of human
life because the British Courts
see it proper to inflict some
p jnishment for the crimes they
are committing in the destruction
of property, then the British
p3ople have much degenerated.
The report of the court proceed
ing says:
When sentence was pronoun
ced by the judge, Sir Charles
Montague Lush, in the Old Bailey
sessions, Mrs. Pankhurst,
although her face blanched,
showed as defiant an attitude as
ever, declaring she would fight
to the end.
One of the militant leaders, in
announcing the intentions of the
suffragettes, went so far as to
say that even human life would
no longer be respected. In
London, Glasgow and other
places throughout the country
enthusiastic meeting were held
and tvery mention of Mrs.
Pankhurst brought forth loud
cheers. One of the leaders,
whose name is suppressed, gave
out the following statement:
“Human life is now in peril,
for we have resolved no longer
to respect it, and trouble of all
sorts must be faced by us.”
There should be no hesitancy
in earring out the court sentence
in the Pankhurst case. She
should serve the limit of the law.
The trouble with Englands courts
is that they have been unable to
distinguish between a lady and
these vile vicious shes.
Let them go on their hunger
strike if they wish too, put food
before them and if they do not
see fit to eat, let them die, the
sooner the better. A half a
dozen deaths among the Pank-
hu.-st crowd would clarafy the
atmosphere very materialy. A
crime is a crime, and sex should
have nothing to do with mitiga
ting the punishment. A cause
that has to be w^n as the
militant suffragist are trying to
win theirs is a bad cause. These
women have demonstrated
beyond question their utter lack
of the essential elements of
character that would fit them to
be entrusted with the functions
of government. England has
a crowd of women that has
sprung up in her midst, that
she could well afford to deport,
a id do so at once. W'e have no
sympathy for them. They are
ertitled to rone.
The Germans are trying to look
in the back yard of the French
people and incidently to see the
inside of some of Fi-ances
fortifications by flying around in
a Zeppelin air ship. Germanys
budget is running low% and there
are indications that she wants
to collect a large indemunity
fund from France as she did in
1872 w’hen she humbled France
in the dust and to: k from her a
fifteenth of her territory, in
Alsace an Lorrains. If an
other war between these two
powers it is hoped that France
will be able at its close to push
her boundaries back to the point
that lost to her this valuable
territory.
When there is a constant
changing of hands in the real
estate market there will be a
constant ringing of the hammer,
and a whir of the saw, wMien the
saw and hammer are silent it is
evident that there is something
out of joint.
