atod when we learn of the mock-he- roic way in which the women in ques- tion have been willing and even anXi- ous to be dragged away to jail, stub bornly refusing to give ball and posing as martyrs to their cause.
 Quite aside from the question of ad- visibility of womens suffrage in Eng land in the United states, or anywhere there Is vital question of methods. We are not of the belief that violent demonstrations of this sort are the only ar the best means to the end desired, To point out that in the past most Of the great changes in English govern mental institutions have been brought about by violent physical demonstra- tions. Is nane. Times have changed greatly since the magma charta was granted In such matter as this, the aptitude and ability to vote temperate ly and sanely must be shown by the women before even a beginning Is made toward granting them the right
 But. whatever the effect of such vo- lent methods in England, we are more certain of the result of similar methods here at home In the United States, and lt Is matter of note In passing that American womens suffragists have been more generally making use of open shows of force and spectacle of | late. We hope never 10 see the wom- | on of America empowered with the right to vote. Nevertheless 1t may come. but, if 1t does, we are convinced that II will be the result of calm un- Iimpassloned,' self-respecting work on the part of the women themselves In no better way can they show their in- born ability to use the franchise to ad- vantage When women make fools of | and. when men lose respect for women, they are farthest from being willing to endow them with the greatest and most important governmental privilege lt Is possible Co grant them
 We do not blame the members of the
 English House of Commons for what they have done, They have closed the strangers and women's galleries. There
 was no other course left open to them The most capable leaders of the wom
 ems suffrage movement, on the other
 hand must realize that this action
 really will aid the cause for which they
 are laborlng. It will make it less pos
 sible that such nonsensical scenes o
 humiliation and hysteria may agah
 easily take place.

INsuFFER ABLE suFFR AGE.

Whatever are tho results of such n- excusable and intolerable methods as certain English womcn's suffrage en-
 thusiasts have used in the House of Commons it Is certain that they have
 not raised, but rather lowered their cause in the eyes of the members of the
 English parliament and in the eyes of thinking men the world over lt Is not
 to be supposed, either that the real
 and effective leaders everywhere in the cause of womens suffrage look upon
 the demonstrations with enthusiasm
 What more foolhardy than that two
 young women should take their posi-
 tion in the galleries of the English house and chain themselves to the brass grillwork, which is between the galleries and the auditorium proper, so that it would take the guards longer to remove them and that they might dis turb the proceedings of the body the longer with the feminine appeals for
 the suffrage e-right? The escapade
 smacks of brainless fanaticism Such a conclusion is only the more substanti-

 In our state, there Is no political question involved as between the can- dldates for governor of the two great political parties, There Is a very ma terlal issue as to the personality of the candidates, and we believe that the voters of the state have a solemn duty to perform in selecting their chief eN- ecutlvo for the term of two years from the first Of next January Every elect or should vote for either Hon.

The president used good judgment in showing up the trick by which Liley endeavored to give the impression that Roosevelt approved of his candidacy "Blindly to follow the opinion of your party" wrote Burke, when in direct opposition to your own clear ideas, be- tokens "a degree of servituda that no worthy man could bear the thought of submitting to-"

THE ROOSEVELT CORRESPONDENCE

At the last moment when the fear of discussion or possible exposure had been by time reduced to a minimum MT. Lilley, the machine candidate for governor, made public his correspond ence with President Roosevelt about which there has been so much specu- lation and justifcable suspicion. It will pass into the history of the state campaign as the most discredltable of long series of discredltable acts.
 The correspondence discloses just what The Journal-Courler found out for itself the moment the first refer ence was made to the alleged posses sion by Mir, Lilley of letter from President Roosevelt endorsing his candidacy for governor, that he has at no time had such a document What he has Is an endorsement of a speech made last April which had been recalled laboriously to the presi- dents mind and revived in very doubtful form after the president has been pestered to death by MT. Lilley for a specific endorsement of his can- didacy. Not one word can he found in the correspondence approving even indirectly the candidacy of MT, Lilley for governor and that Mir. Lilley should at any time have been willing to use the letters for the purpose of presenting himself to the voters as the choice of President Roosevelt is an amazing piece of effrontery, which should of itself consign him to the political waste basket.
 As a simple proposition In morals Mir. Lilley should have published these letters, if at all. long time ago He and his friends have claimed that the Investigating committee gave con gross no time to adequately examine the scathing report on his conduct, a claim which had merit in 1t. and yet here Is Mir. Lilley himself withholding l from the voters of Connecticut unti 1 the last moment A correspondence 1 about which there has been much dis. pute until it is impossible for then to ask him question with reference to it.

 cd of handling an important corresp
 ence with keen regret. He has no
 acted like man and time will prov

OuR FLEET AT CHINA.

The welcome and entertainment of fered our American sailors and officers when recently In Japanese waters has been keenly observed and commented upon, not only in this country. but all over the world It Is impossible to| conceive that such a reception as was rendered our men was not entirely sin cere. Had Japanese feeling toward us not been wholly friendly. it would have been possible for the government of ficials to have made lavish but false show of friendiness, but they would not have been unable to bring the Japanese people at Tokio and Yokohama to that state of unbounded enthusiasm which they showed on every hand Nor could any govern ment officials in Japan bring about, in an artificial way any such rousing welcome as the visiting American business mon from our Pacific coast are just reported to have re- ceived at Koho, which has been the scene of such demonstrations as have not been observed there since the ex- citing days of the Japanese Russian | war
 The fleet has since moved on to ! China and has come to anchor in the harbor of Annoy. Tho situation there has been a peculiar one There have been imaginative orators for some time past at Annoy who have been preach ing that the American sailors were l coming with the secret intention of ! bombarding the harbor and capturing l the town X revoutionist plot has also been discovered to assassinate the ] Chinese officials during the stay of the
