The Times is fair enough to say, how
ever, that the evidence is not strong
in all the cases reported.
But why militant suffragists, who
seem to be peculiar to Great Britain?
To attract attention, says one; to force
the government to consider our de
mands, Bays another; to gain money
and notoriety for a few leaders, says
a third. "It seems to be a law of po
litical evolution," quoted a militant suf
fragist in ber own behalf, "that no
great advance in human freedom can'
be gained except after the display of
some kind of violence. We are only
adopting the methods of- men to ac

every woman too would make it his

she has, to look around the home

fixed up to look Vetter it would be a
great thing for this town. It might
not induce people to do any more
than rake up the sticks that are lying
around. That would be a great help

punishment has been made more near
ly to fit the offense. Narrating what
was done only a few months ago, an ar
dent suffragist said that minor breach
es of law, Buch as waving flags and
making speeches in the lobbies of the
houses of parliament, were treated
more severely than serious crime on
the part of men had often been. A sen
tence of three months' imprisonment
as an ordinary offender was passed in
one case against a young girl who had
done nothing except to decline to be
bound over to keep the peace, which
she was prepared to swear she had
not broken. The turning of the hose
upon a suffrage prisoner ln her cell on
a midwinter night Is another example,
This has been, fortunately for all con
cerned, cbanged for the better by the
more recent administration of the
much-reviled Cat-and-Mouse Act.
Militants Small In Number.
The militant suffragists, first organ
ized into a society ten years ago, are
now divided into two or more inharmo
nious groups. Their work is largely
associated in the public mind with the
names of the Pankhursts, mother and
daughter. The militant suffragists
constitute but a handful of the advo
cates of the franchise for women.
They get 90 per cent, of the public at-
steps need a new step in them. And.
as you would want to make a com
plete job of it. you would see that
these repairs are made. Maybe the
house has needed a new coat of paint
tor a long time. Perhaps new cur
tains are needed at the front win
dows. And the inside of the house is
quite as important as the outside is
more important, for it is on the inside

if you will really look . about you,
there will be several things that ca.n
be made to look vastly better with the
aid of a few boartb or nails or a little;
varnish or a small expenditure of
money. Collectively the effect on this
town will be great. There is no econ
omy in letting things run down and
putting repairs off. A house that
needs repairs is going down hill; and
a house that is going down hill is
losing value value both in money

"monster" are favorite epithets flung
at the prime minister, Mr. Asquith,
whose opposition to woman's suffrage
has thus far prevented parliamentary
adoption, almost consideration, of
a woman's suffrage bill. When all
words fail, the militant suffragists
throw stones and set on fire buildings
and the British policemen use clubs.
Woman's Suffrage Ignored by Press.
An odds feature of it all is that
while the woman's suffrage movement
has been advancing ln Great Britain
ln the last ten years, not by painful
inches but by rapid furlongs, the Brit
ish press, in the main, has largely ig
nored it Only when it got into the
police courts, by the deliberate and
purposeful lawlessness of the militant
section of the suffragists, did the Lon
don dailies deign to notice the move
ment to any considerable extent
There appeared to be a conspiration
of silence on the part of the newspa
pers. Explanations are various for
this silence. "It wasn't news," said
the editor of the most widely circulat
ed newspaper with a single excep
tionin Great Britain. "If a few worn
en hired a hall in a corner of London,
made speeches and passed resolutions,
nobody wished to read about it ln the
newspapers next morning except theru
lelves. Why should we print it? Of
sourse, when another group of women
ought to burn St Paul's that bec&i6
stances which they imagine likely to
be injurious to suffrage, they either
say nothing about these facts which
Indicate Its growing force and volume
or else record them in such a manner
that they escape the observation of
the general reader. The result Is that
only the suffragists, who are ln con
stant communication with their com
rades in various parts of the world and
also have their own papers, are kept
duly informed not only of what has
happened but what is likely to happen.
For the Ignorance of the antl-suffrag-ists
the anti-suffrage press of London
is mainly responsible. Things are what
they are and the consequences will be
what they will be, whether the news
papers print them or not, and to leave
the controversialists on your own Bide
in ignorance of facts of capital impor
tance is a strange way of showing po
litical allegiance." H. A. White, the
editor of the London Daily Standard,
introduced a new departure in London
journalism ln this respect. He devoted
a page dally to a full statement of
events and arguments bearing on all
sides of the suffrage and other wom
en's questions.
Militancy.

en suffragists, however, receives large
notice in .the newspapers. The Lou

The Fight In Parliament
The opposition of Mr. Asqulth, the
Liberal prime minister, despite a ten
tative promise given before he went
into office, has prevented practical con
sideration of any woman's suffrage
bill in the house of comons which in
cludes probably a majority supporting
tbe meisure. Among those who favor
woman's suffrage are Sir Edward
Grey, David Lloyd George, Ramsay
McDonald, the Labor leader. Lord Hal
dane, Arthur Balfour, Philip Snowden
and William Redmond. The opposition
numbers such distinguished statesmen
as Mr. Asqulth, Austen Chamberlain,
Winston Churchill and F. E. Smith.
The result of the next general electiot
in 1914 will, In part, turn upon the
question, because woman's suffrage
societies are entering the campaign
pledging, as far as possible, every can
didate toe parliament to favor an ade-c,ii!-.te
suffrage bill. ' . .
