laws ana suffered punishment in the
name Of the suffrage cause by insisting
that this course is justified because the
government Of England has shown bad
faith In promising the enactment Of
suffrage law and failing to make any
practical move in that direction. This
does not avoid the point really at ISSUE
that lives have been menaced and prop
erty has been destroyed. the lives and
property of innocent persons who nave
no particular stake in the game that Is
being played, and who are in no wise
responsible for the alleged failure OF the
government to keep its pledge. 1t Is mon
strous that any attempt should be mace
to justify the effort to burn a theater 1u'i
Of people or to assassinate the prime
minister Of England on the ground tnat
the British ministry has not squared up
with its promises in the matter OF an

Bill Bivvins said he'd like to be a hero in
the fray,
And lead the troops to glory while the
people said. 'Hoorayr'
But fate IL most pernickety. and never
will consent
To let a man pursue what he believes his
natural bent.
Bill never led q troop. He's keeping store
at Punkinv1lle
He runs the family errands with fidelity
an skill.
Bill somehow never hit the pace his early
fancy set.
His home folks call him willie" an his
wifes a suffragette.
Jim Spicer. on the other hand, desired a
quiet life.
He said he had no taste fur alteration or
for strife.
He wouldn't play the games that tempt
the youngsters to be rough.
He simply learned the rules, an lookin'
on was fun enough.
But once again we see the work Of fate S
relentless hand.
What you may think you want Is seldom
what you're goin' to land.
His knowledge theoretical they soon call
ed into play.

every day.

Remarkable Partisan Perversity.

1t appears that the anger Of English
militant suffragettes over the severe
sentences given to the women who tried
TO fire a Dublin theater and threw a
Ratchet at Prime Minister Asquith il in
spired chiefly by the suggestion of the
presiding judge that the sentences might
be remitted if the militant tactics of the
women are abandoned. This. cries the
organization, is an attempt to bride
which could not be accepted without dis
loyalty to the cause. This evidences a
perverse indisposition or inability to re-
gard the acts which the court has under
taken to punish by the sentences imposed
as crimes against society. 1t matters
nothing that these crimes were committed
in the name Of a political propaganda,
that they were part Of q program Of fore
ing the government Of England to grant
certain rights to women. that they are
representative Of an unquestionably deep
conviction Of grievous wrong on the part
of very large class OF people. 1t Is
dangerous to ignore the single principle
which governs the infection Of penalties
for offenses against peace and order, life
and property. namely. the principle OF
punishment to deter others from commit
ting similar acts. Every court is Influenced
by a willingness to remit penalties upon
the promise Of good behavior in the fu-
ture. The modern probation and parole
laws are a definite expression of this doc
trine. The Dublin judge who limited at
a remission Of the penalties II the mill
tant practices Of the suffragettes were
abandoned did no more than Is done con-
tinually by jurists who. in passing SEN
fences, express the hope that the ex-
amples given will convince others that
the law must be obeyed-

The Dictagraph Days.

The dictagraph is playing its expected
mart in the Investigation into the alleged
police craft in New York. That terrible
Burns person Is at work with his men
and women. too-disguised as all sorts OF
people, engaged in all sorts OF schemes
Of a shady character. and putting them
selves in the way of police enterprise and
cupidity.
II all that Burns is reputed to be doing
in this country is true. he is becoming a
mighty agency for the betterment OF hu-
man conditions. One hears of him every
where Now he is framing up a concrete
boardwalk scheme in Atlantic City and
trapping greedy councimen by the dozen.
again he is at work in South Carolina
getting evidence of the sale Of pardons by
the governor and other proof Of NAL
feasance in the enforcement Of the state
liquor laws. Next he shows up in De-
troit. where he pitfalls aldermen with a
fake ordinance for certain railway privi-
leges. Now he IS helping on the good
work in New York by pretending to start
lawless establishments under police pro-
lection.
The result of all this dictagraphing and
disclosing may be that aldermen and po-
licemen and other public officials will be
afraid to do business Ion the side with
any one no matter what credentials are
shown. Who can tell who's who In graft
dom in these days? What assurance is
there that the man with the scheme for
a franchise, OR a gambling house. or a
contract. is not working with a telephone
recording device leading straight to a
stenographer? The only safety for the
CRATER is to do all his business out in the
open, far away from walls and partitions
and furniture Even then there will be
no guarantee against subterranean cells
containing a recording person. There is
verify no comfort for the crook in these
days of electricity-aided sleuthing.
