that it is wrong to invest them with
the privilege.
1t is not important that the men
are rarely called upon to perform
their sovereign duty. No one supposes
that bank reserves perform no func-
ton because they are rarely drawn
upon. Then men had to make good
their votes by force Of arms, in the
Civil War. Who can see far enough
ahead to say when it shall again be
necessary? This is the force argu-
ment, scorned by the suffragists, who
do not, and will not, understand it.
Yet, in England, the militant suffrag-
lists have themselves appealed to force
but a brave show of broken glass is
their greatest achievement. The pit
iful performance has angered the peo-
pie, and the suffragists will soon learn
that is is useless for them to appeal
to force, for they have no force. This
means nothing derogatory to women.
1t does not mean that they are to be
confined to a sphere, or that they are
inferior 1t means that the suffragists
do not understand what they are ask
ing for; that they should not be given
rights when they cannot shoulder the
corresponding responsibilities.

Gen. Paez and Manuel Serano, the lead
ing lights i'll Ecuador's latest revolution
have beefN snufred out.
This revolution, although it had been
a long time brewing, began in reality a
few days following the sudden death on
December 20 last Of President Emilio
Estrada.
The first OF the drastic measures taken
by those who opposed the revolution
was carried into effect at Guayaquil,
when Gen. Pedro Montero, who was pro-
claimed president by the troops after
the death of Estrada, was shot and be-
headed by a mob which later burned his
body.
The shooting Of Montero took place
in the court room where the general
had just been tried by court martial
and sentenced to sixteen years imprison-
ment for his connection with the revolt.
The people, evidently angered at what
they considered a too light sentence,
rushed into the court room and after
Kidding Montcro's body with bullets,
dragged it into the open. Then they
decapitated it, built a bonfire and threw
into the flames the terso and head of
the man who once was a popular hero
in Ecuador.
Eiroy Alfaro and Generals Paez and
Montero were captured January 22 at
Guayaquil when government troops I'm.
der Gen. Leonidas Plaza forced the rev.
olutionists who held Guayaquil to ca
pitulatc. Flavio Alfaro had been wound
ed in a battle a few days before the
fall OF Guayaquil. Medardo Alfaro was
captured January 25 as he arrived at
Guayaquil on board a steamer with a
body of rebel troops.
