Violets.
The violets again--Uttle wet violets,
and there is ihe clean sweet breath of
spring.
One would lift his head and drink
deep—taste this newness, this grateful
freshness that is about. There is a
quicker leap of life, and Nature seems
to stir with a kind of tenderness. There
is a deeper glow on the faces of child*
ren—easier bappine«s on a tiny nestling
face. Girlhood comes to outward
whiteness again—the cool, crisp sign of
spring, and in all is the subtle charm
of violetS'-'little human, tremulous
things, gentle as love's whisper, pure
as purity. Restful, quaint Utile
flower, too—simple, appealing. Flower
to lay on a baby that has died—to give
as seeming tribute to womanhood-'to
press against the face as easement for
tired heart—
Such a dear, peaceful little flower,
all alone in llower-land, emblems of
the wcrld's simplest and best and
waiting to mock a false face, or adorn
the beauty that comes from the soul.

Privileged Criminals
(New York World.)
A little handful of women have made i
a joke of the boasted pax Britanmca.
A few thousand Englishmen quitely
rule hundreds of millions of natives in
India, but at home a few obstreperous
women have demonstrated that they
can rise superiour to a?l powers that
govern the British empire.
Mrs. Pankhurst and her posse of pet-
ticoated outlaws have reduced the gov-
ernmert to a state of terror. If a
cabinet minister happens to incur their
displeasure, he may expect to hav** his
house set on fiie by a trained arsonette
or to be assaulted on the street with a
loaded whip bv a reliable representative
of the cause.
Why should not a fanatical female,
when the frenzy seizes her, slash a
masterpiece by Velasquez in the Na
tional Galley, or attack the Premier,
or burn a church? If she happens to
want the vote, she is privileged criminal.
She has every assurance in advance
that she will not be punished. If she
goes to jail and refuses to eat for a
day or two, she knows tha^ she will
promptly be turned loose by the
authorities to resume her criminal
operations. In the meantime she has
become a hallowed martyr, an object
of fear to a mighty government and
an object of worship to other hysterical
females and males.

Not Playing Fair With
Militants.
It was very rude of the Glasgow
prison physician to knock down the
suffragette who trieil to horsewhip
him—and not only rude but wholly
contrary to the rules of the game. How
can frenzied females make examples of
public men if the latter are not to
submit meekly to attack?
Yet this is the kind of rejoinder the
militants invite b> their reckless insults j
and assaults. Men are only human—* i
a very inferior quality of humanity, as
all suffragettes know-and they are
bound to grow tired of always turning
the other cheek. What if others should
take their cue from the Glasgow doctor
and hit back? What if Englishmen
generally should put aside their “false
sympathy for hysterical women," as a
German critic calls it, and abandon
leniency for severity? It must - be
obvious evert to “cat-and-jmouse*'
hungerstrikers that they wo^ld be
hopelessly outclassed in a final,;.'appeal

Rerent tariff legislation has brought

This is the forework of the

j dancing that, we are told, is damaging
! the moral tone of society to an alarming
deg-ree. I’he n»w’ dances that have

and common. Of course we all know
where they had their origin, and those
who have seen them tell us that they
reek with the foul atmosphere from
which they have emerged into our ball
rooms. What is v/orse, the practice is
whole house a j rapidly spreading. For a while dancers
j were confined principaUy to the Episco-
are I palian young ladies of the commurity,
with a sprinkling of Presbyterians.
Now it is not uncommon for Methodist
and Baptist girls to yi^ themselves
into the rrms of stranges on ball room
floors. Recently, an officer of one of
our churches (not a Baptist church,
however,) went to one of the dignitaries
of the church and asked him to suggest
a remedy for the degeneracy of church
members m this respect. “Oh, well,”
replied this preacher, “we might as
well let the girls go. They are going
to d.ti ce anyhow and w'e cannot h» Ip
it.” We are still opposed to dealing
harshly with these girl's They do not
j know any hotter. They ought to be

A Serious Allegation
Bishop Kilgo’s declaration in a ser
mon v/hich he preached in a Charlotte
church one night last w'eckto the efTect
that “women are drinking more liquor
than men,‘’ is a serious allegation to
bring against the women of our state
and country, and if it can be show n
that there is any justifiable ground for
such a charge, then we have already
arrived upon perilous times. We have
been waiting to see a statement to
the effect that Bishop Kilgo had been
misquoted, but if anything of the sort
has appeared in the papers it has es
caped our attention. The statement-"-
of the bishop may be true with regard
to a \ery limited number of women i!i
almost any community, but we refuse
to believe that it is true of any con
siderable number in any town or city
of the south and especially in North
Carolina. There are some tende.icies
among women today that are to -
deplored, but in no sense of the word
are we prepared to take stock in sue a
grave charges against them. We ha% e
an unshaken and abiding faith in the
uprightness of the great majority o
southern women, and we still believe
that Bishop Kilgo has been misquoted,
certainly in the essential points of his
Charlotte utterances.—Henderson Gold
Leaf.
