Justiee erower versus Lsbouehere.

Justice Brewer Versus lsbouohere.
From the Chicago Record Herald
The other day Mr Labouchere. the
British Radical NJ. p. and free-iance ed
itof, discussed in his usual unconven-
tionai and breezy manner the effect Of the
extension OF the parliamentary suffrage
to women. he was opposed TO that reform.
Women are not and never will be. he
Thought. asked TO serve the State as sol
diers, sailors. policemen. fremeu. and con-
stables. As the State ultimately rests on
force. IL follows that women escape some
OF the most serious and disagreeable du-
tics Of social organization and it is but
just that thoy should be deprived Of d.
rect political power.
Moreover. Mr. Iabouchere continued,
though in many respects superior to men
women were notor'ously inferior with ref
erence TO those mental and moral quail
tics which are constantly taxed in legisla-
tive assemblies and governing bodies.
There is nothing paticularly striking or
fresh about these arguments. but the ora
tors style caused his fellow members TO
relish them beyond their merits
No one rose 60 ask Mr.. Labouchere
whether IL is logical 10 deny the ballot to
women on the grounds set forth while
allowing them To occupy the British
throne and influence the dcstinies Of the
Empire and the world. We hope. howev r
that he will read the speech Of Justice
Brewer TO the Vassar graduates and be-
come conscious Of his backwardness. Not
only did the venerable justice discuss
complex questions Of state and diplomacy
colonialism. Monrooism, alliances. and
what not-with the graduates. but he told
them 10 was their duty 10 serve their
country politically. For who shall say
he asked. that within the next decade
general suffrage shall not be extended TO
women as II has in many States; who
SHAH say that before a gray hair shall
come TO your heads a woman like Queen
Victoria shall not sit In the White House
to gloiify this nation as Victoria glorifed
EnglandT
Justice Brewer is a conservative, Mr..
labouchere claims to be an unterrihcd
radical. Haven't they exchanged partsl
And is not the "stream of tendency" with
our Mngistratel The American Executive
Is expanding and marching Lawyer Gar
.diner tells us. We know that woman Is
marching and carrying everything before
her when these advancing forces meet

II is with a strange mingling OF
emotions that we read Of the murder
ous events IN Warsaw and Lodz for
our sense OF horror Is affected by the
bloodshed. and yet a certain primitive
demand OF our natures for excitement
is gratihed. These feeling may be an
tagonistic, but they exist side by side
I'm the normal human constitution. We
do not Ike TO ava riot and blood-lettlng
but to read Of them when they occur
many thousand miles away is different
our sympathy for The Poles is none the
less keen because of this fact The
tragedy Of their national history is a
moving memory. despite their short
comngs IN self f-government, and when
they cry out against the maladminis-
tration OF the Cars officials our hearts
are with them. even though we may
withhold our approval from their
natural ambition for reunion under d
sovereign of their own. one of theis
historians has said, not. perhaps. al
together without reason. that the blot
ting out Of Poland's name from the
roll OF nations "has a thousand time.
