In England when a man interrupts
a political meeting. when he tiings
a stone at cabinet minister. or
smashes a window, or does anything
else as a protest against what he con-
siders political injustice ne is ar.
rested, but his punishment Is mild.
He IS political offender.
When identically the same offenses
are committed by women they are ar
rested, beaten. kicked, thrown out OF
doors, knocked down, vilely insulted.
They are punished not as political
often lers, but as brawlers, disturb
ATs of the peace. With admirable
logic, the English courts have ruled
that women having only limited pollt-
ical rights cannot commit political
offenses When they attempt, by
time-honored British methods. to ex-
lend their political rights, they cease
to be women and become hooligans.
In January, 1907, the English suf-
fragtttes succeeded in defeating a
Liberal candidate for parliament in
a 'niG-Devon district After the re-
suit OF the polling had been declared,
a party of Liberal men set on Mrs.
Panahurst and her companion Mrs.
Martel, the only suffrage women re-
naming in the town, pelted them with
rot N eggs, beat, kicked them, and
would probably have murdered Mrs.

OF the police She was unconscious
on the ground when they arrived and
: was so badly injured that she was un-
able to walk for some months. Not
a man was arrested for this outrage,
r NGr were any arrests made when,
at this election, body OF Liberals
marched on the Conservative club,
smashed all the windows and kept
the members besieged within, all

house and on being refused an inter-

the rights they want are not obliged
to vote. Perhaps II is just as well, at
least for the present, that these WON
en- do not attempt to exercise the right
of self-government.
Who gave to any man or set OF men
the right TO declare that shall have
no voice in making the laws by whicE
am governed? Surely / have the
same right TO say that these men
shall not vote as they have TO say
that I shall be deprived OF the ballot.
To deny TO women the right OF self

power which every intelligent woman
should resent
The women who have all the riSh'5
they want are the wives OF the men
who contend that women do not want

want 10 vote because the men upon
whom they depend for their support
do not want them TO want TO vote.
