ELIMINATE MAN
Mr.. Lecky's Reply to Women Petit
TONERS for Suffrage.

TONERS 1GT SuHFAScs
One Of the political sensations of the spring
occurred last week in the English parliament,
John Dillon stigmatZing the colonial secre-
tary, Joseph Chamberlain, as liar in the
midst of storm scene. This affair had an
amusing sequel related in the cable dis
patches. At the time Of the occurrence a
deputaton of women graduates was in a
committee room of the house of commons,
presenting a. petition asking to be given the
power to vote for the election Of members OF
parliament r. ..~s-
Miss Beatrice Harraden, the novelist, who
was one of the delegates, warmly supported
the petition claiming that it was unfair that
women should have to pay the income tax
and yet not be allowed to vote at parliament
airy electious. The members of parliament
who were listening were hurriedly called to
take part in the division on Mr. Dillon's sus-
pension.
William E. I-ecky, the historian and union
list member of parliament for Dublin univer-
sity who was among the members who heard
the statements of the supporters OF the petit
tion returned and addressed the graduates,
saving he wondered it they would like seat
in parliament, in view of the fact that they
would run the risk at any moment of being
called id liars? Mr. Lecky concluded by
saving he believed the emotional element in
notifies was quite unduly developed as 1t was,
without women entering the field.
