Is but one step from the sublime to
the ridiculous, and it Is spiced with
wisdom.
1t Is because OF the popular inabil-
dty to recognize this fact that many
worthy crusades have failed, and
many careers have been ruined: and
it is because the English suffragettes
made the descent, consciously or I'M

effort and self-sacrifice.
me first assaults upon the premier
and the house of commons were made
by women OF position In society-wo-
men or culture and refinement, who
knew what they were doing. and had
definite object in view. Their pur-
pose In life was not to go to Jail, and
eat prison food and do manual labor,
II was to advance a cause that they
believed in. and were willing to suffer
for, and the Jail sentences we're Incl

women was as noble as the zeal OF
the early martyrs, who marched sing
ing to Srnithffeld, and were burned. :
Their followers, who have recently
taken the conduct of. the movement
into their own hands, have no under
standing of that spirit of martyrdom;
with them the end seems to be to go
to jail and secure as much notoriety
as possible. They have cast aside all
dignity, and have become a frantic
mob and nothing more, and the sane
women who were identified with the
movement some time ago have prob
ably abandoned it in disgust; at least,
they are no longer in evidence.
The hystericai females who are now
rushing the house of commons daily,
are making a joke of the whole cru

There is no sympathy for them when
they are arrested, and sent to prison,
and the respect that was won by the
sensible leaders has evaporated.
OF course, the opponents of SUI
frage will argue from all this that
the women themselves have demon
strated their unfitness for the fran
cflise they demand, but there is no
basis for such an argument. There
are fool men, as there are fool wO-
men, and the former have ruined a

1t isn't question of sex, but a
question of sense, and the mentally
balanced women who were working
up healthy public sentiment in ia
vor of their cause, probably share the
general disgust and indignation
caused by the ki-yoodling females
who have brought the whole. BUSH
