What IL the matter with the American woman ?
Too much liberty. say some soulphysicians. Too
much money say others. Sufragists diagnose the
trouble as lack Of the ballot; antisunragists declare
1t to be the threatening yellow peril" Of women's
votes.
But while social doctors differ as to causes and
remedies, they all seem to be agreed that the Amer.
lean woman is lsnguishing from a grevious malady
Of the soul and heart. The latest physician to be
called into consultation over this invalid, In spite Of
herself, is Mrs. Flora Mcdonald Thompson, who has
specialized for years as a writer on social conditions
affecting American women, and who Is leader in
feminine affairs In Connecticut.

That appeal which the s~uiIragists
make Is timely: 1t IL sympathetic: 1t Is
all but Irresistible, yet in effect II pro-
poses to the woman as a relief for the
pains and perils of her present position
that she burn her bridges behind her.
I'm the contest between s~ufrag!sts
and anti-suffragists, the former have
decidedly the best of II. In that they ad-
nit that there Is something wrong with
the American woman. Their misfortune
Is that they diagnose Incorrectly the Ill

scribe, votes for women Is In fact Q
poison to aggravate the malady and
make It mortal In the end.
The antls, on the other hand. Ignore
that the American woman Is vitality at

taken fright instinctively at the suffrage
remedy; with a natural horror OF con-
sequences which 1t bur promotes, not
originates, they try to arrest the APP
plication OF that remedy. they earnestly
oppose votes for women and they stop
there.

SAME ACTS DONE BY CAPITAL

Drnest Bohm, secretary OF the Cen
tral Federated Union:
Organized labor does not believe In
physical force. 1t may be that owing
TO the persecution OF the iron workers
ana especially these few men. they for
Rot themselves and the tenets of the
general labor movement and committed
acts which under the present social
conditions are classified as Illegal and
crfmina when dom by such men, but
which are applauded and condousd
when done by hirolings OF capital in
furthering their interests.
1T is well X. ,wn that In many cases
the third degree Is used. and this mode
OF procedure would just suit such men
as Gen. Otis and Detective Burns. 1t
10 thus possible that these two men
were prosecuted to such an extent that

n~owadays-the poorer ones from neces-

Indignation rang In Mrs. Thompson's
tones. Apparently It was nothing to her
argument that the children whose physi-
cal ills are cared for by the public
schools would otherwise not receive
medical attention at all; that woman's
love so far exceeded woman's skill in
the nursing OF the sick that It killed
about as many as 1t cured. in the good
