fragist, speaking in London at a meet

Union, said that women should not go
on talking until the crack of doom
without getting redress for the in
justices under which they suffer. The
time had come for them TO do some
thing desperate. Woman, she declared,
had dynamite at her disposal. This
statement was greeted with applause.
When subsequently questioned If she
was serious in her reference to the use
of dynamite, Miss Cozens replied that
she was il other means failed.

CANADA IS TO BLAME
For the Failure of q Wreck!ng Treaty
Between the Two Countries.

Inquiry was made at the department
of state at Washington relative To a
statement coming from Ottawa that
the negotiations between the United
States and the Canadian government
touching the issue of proclamations
providing for reciprocity in wreclSing
and towing in waters contiguous to
each country had so far come 10 naught
and implying that the United States
government was TO blame. tbs learned
that the United States government
has been ready for long time past to
issue the proclamation, but that the
delay has been caused by the failure of
the Canadian legislature TO act as re-
quired in the matter. At least, if any
such action has been taken, the de-
partment Of state here is not officially
advised, and so cannot proceed further
in the mateer.

UNITED STATES COOP ENOUGH.

UNI hnD SA A Il cS UOOD hNOOuhs .
That was an interesting occurrence in
the New York legislature the other day
when a resolution was offered for the
printing of the governors message in En-
glish and German, one-ffth of the total
number of copies to be in the latter Ian
guage. General Hustled, in opposing the
resolution, appropriately said that "the
State should not recognize nationality in
citizenship. If it is going to recognize a
place of birth at all it should not discrimi-
nate between countries" And Mr. Sulli-
van of New York said that he asked for
the publication of the message in Irish
also, if it were to be printed in German.
'There is no reason" he said, "why this
legislature should discriminate against the
Irish and in favor of the Germans. The
Irish in this country can read, write and
speak the English language, and SO should
the Germans by the time they have been
here long enough to be naturalized."
Mr.. Sullivan was entirely right. The
Irish, the French, the Italians, the Hun
garians and the Poles have as good right
to have State documents printed in their
language as the Germans. It should not
be forgotten that the language of this
country is entitled to respect and apprecia.
ton. Most of the attacks upon it come
from the Germans, who constitute great
proportion of the population in certain
parts of the country, and whose desire tc
retain their own manners and speech is moi
without menace in some sections of the
Northwest. They are, a rule, good citi
zens, and they ought to be in better bust
ness than attacking the language of the
country which has saved them from bur.
| densome military despotism and given them
a chance to wax fat and rich.
