Bombs of Wit from Men on
Curb HURLED Around
Them, but They Did
Not Break Line:

UNDOUBTEDLY Horatius at the
bridge was quite hero; no one
can deny that the noble six hun
dred pulled off quite stunt when they RODE
into the valley Of death-but did they COM
pare to the performance Of the brave
eIghty-nine men who marched in the New
York suffragette parade on May 6?
If women ever get into power In this
country-and, mind you, I'm not saying
they won't--it would be but an act Of simple
1ustice 10 erect some sort OF monument 10

slim piece Of statuary-but what is little
thing like that when the question Of justice
Is at stake?
The three thousand women who marched
from 57th street and Fifth avenue down 10
Union Square were vaguely disappointed,
because the crowds that lined the sidewalks
were so passive. The women were regarded
with the deepest respect by the thousands
the men in the column came in for all the
nnartyrdom. That also is vaguely dissatis-
tying.
II might move some envious women TO
say deep down in their hearts that here the
men come in and take all the honors again!
AS the different groups Of women marched
along there was little cheering. except
where another group on the walk would
recognize some marching friend. But when
a man hove in sight. You could trace
the progress Of the male suffragettes by the
double roar that followed them along the
streets.
I'D toward the front Of the parade were
two men. Each of these carried banners,
and was fanked on each side by protect
ing woman suffragette. These isolated ex-
emples only served 10 whet the appetite OF
the crowd. 80 that when the little band Of
men sufragettes came along the crowd
was good and ready for them.
Union Sinclair was In the column at the

There seemed 10 be an unusual number

marchers with their worst ones. The
victims sometimes tried tc make retorts
TO the hot shots from the side lines. but
few OF these trials showed them the fool
hardness Of such procedure. The keen
est of wits can't put anything over on a
whole crowd.
Run your eve down the following list
and you will get some idea Of the sort OF
verbal missiles hurled from the packed
curbs at the men marchers:
