Very sensible and appealing is the
platform put forth by the New York
women in their first political conven-
ZION" Very sensible, too, and even
mere appealing, comments the Chica-
20 Post, were Mrs. Clarence Mackay's
eHorts to interpret the woman suf-
frsge movement. She made it quite
clear that the New York s~uffragists
are very far from agreeing with their
Iowa sisters as to the wisdom of mill
fant tactics. They believe in CONVEX
sion in New York, not in violence or
antagonism." We fancy that Mrs. Mac
kays speech will not escape a certain
amount of silent criticism within the
woman suffrage movement. There are
suIfragists who have followed much
longer than Mrs. Mackay who would
find it hard to put their faith in such
dispassionate objective terms. For
business women and for working wo-
men, it is a fight for rights, and Mrs.
Mackay's serene philosophy will hard
~ suit these hard-pressed campaign
ers. But for all that the New York
convention has probably taken the
very best possible position for a New
York campaign, and Mrs. Mackay's adj
dress, with its emphasis upon the
humanitarian rather than the militant
aspect of the suffrage movement, will
doubtless be widely and effectively
circulated

thu end. Anyway, If we are to believe
q writer who describes the sport in a
Paris magazine, bull fighting is not
what it was in the good old days. The
profession of sticking rapiers into
wild bulls is sadly degenerating, the
fine traditions of the past are vanish
ing. Formerly bull fighters had a
