MARTRYDoM OF MRS. PANKHURsT

ed by noise, dust and disturbance, and the erection of a new be a period of turmoil.
 Mrs. Pankhurst's error-if she has made one-seems to be her election of an old fashioned way of revolu- tion making. What she and her fol- lowers did the men of England havo immemorially done, as MT. Porritt, a speaker at the recent equal fran chise banquet in New Haven, histori- cally proved.
 The result of her imprisonment and that of the Lawrences will be to cer- tainly hasten the victory of the cause they represent. The blood of mar tyrs is the seed of the church. AL though imprisonment of nine months is not comparable as a martyrdom to the pains of Joan of Arc, Robert Elm met, or John Brown, it is sufficiently severe to attract the sympathies of before uninterested millions.
 Tn the meantime the suffragists of England may turn their attention to more modern methods, following the peaceful and up-to-dAts example of
