While an American suffragist will not
be betrayed into any severe criticism or
her English sister of the militant mold.
it is nevertheless true that in the United
States the imagination and ingenuity OF
the equal suffrage propagandsts has been
sufficiently fertile to devise many schemes
for attracting attention without once re-
sorting to violence.
Acting upon the old principle that the
way to a mans heart is through his

baked eighty fine, juicy cherry pies as
her contribution toward the entertain

impromptu speeches on every side. The
pie baker was clever. too, in more ways
than one She waited until after her pies
had been served. and then. while the old
veterans were enjoying the last crumbs
of her fiaky pastry, she came before them
with the words: Boys, l am not much
of a talker but I'm pretty good worker
Now, If you like my pies, l want every
one of YOU to vote to give votes to us
women when you have a chance to next

Every day develops new versatility
among the women in the states where
suffrage amendment is being considered.
In Vermont there is now being published
series of striking display advertise
ments in the leading newspapers one OF
these reads: Vermont men, who have
the freedom which your forefathers won
for you, pay your debt by winning free
dom for your daughters. Advertise Yer
mont by giving the vote to the women OF
your state"
In Boston continual succession of
events calculated to elicit interest in
woman suffrage has been devised The
BijOu Theater was engaged Tor d time :
and series of suffrage lectures, as
many as five day, was given. Some
of them were illustrated by lantern slides
Young girls wearing suffrage scarfs acted
as ushers. suffrage play entitled HOW

cessfully a number of times. Among the
newer subjects for the lantern slides are
moving pictures of the California women
in the act of voting. showing that the

election booths no longer exists.
The California polls seem rather ct
tractive social gatherings, at which the

The number of baby carriages and peram-

"Who will care for baby while mother
goes to vote?" In many cases the father

laughing and happy in the attention of
some friendly neighbors. None of these

practical way than ever before. In San
Francisco and in Los Angeles this Is es-
pecially noticeable, and the establishment
of public laundry at Los Angeles is one
of the new measures likely to be brought
about as an instance of feminine politics.
In this state especially the women are

we'll timed arguments for woman suf-
frage were served with the different
courses The juicy roasts, well seasoned
salads and dainty desserts were eloquent
! supporters of the political arguments
presented for the consideration OF the
| men at the tables.
Maryland women in their crusade fVr
| the suffrage last summer, represented
/ their cause by a number Of symbolic
| floats showing women In various historic
activities. These floats were a promi-
nent feature of the safe and sane
| Fourth of July celebration in Baltimore,
and attracted attention to the suffrage
amendment which was to be presented
| for consideration at the coming leglsla-
ture.
| Years ago the venerable Susan B. An
thony, the pioneer suffrage leader in Amer

make woman suffrage popular with the
majority of women and that Is to make
it fashionable. When society women de-
| mand the ballot the other women OF our
| nation will fall into line"
i Il seems that this prophecy is likely to
be fulfilled, for woman suffrage is fast
becoming fashionable in New York and
other large cities, and certainly there mas
ranks since Mrs. o. H. p. Belmont
and Mrs. Clarence Mackey declared them
selves unqualitiedly for woman suffrage.
| However much this may reflect upon the
strength of character of the average
American woman who is ready to emulate
such leadership. 1t cannot but reflect
credit upon the women, who, having
everything that can be provided for their
own comfort are yet broad minded
enough to devote their best energy and
| thought to a movement that will be help
| ful to women who are less fortunately

been hanging around Togus since that

can be said to be after given day,
until that day has expired" Our con-
clusion is that both upon reason and
authority the explicit language of our
statute should be construed to give
the person assessed IL full days be-
tween date of demand and the date Of
arrest But the defendants contend
that if the arrest was prematureiy
made, the plaintiff waived his claim OF
exemption from arrest for the fun
length of time prescribed by the
statute by peremptorily declining to
pay the tax. But this contention
cannot prevail inasmueh as the Il
days is predicated upon refusal by
the tax payer to pay. The refusal
contemplated by the statute is pre-
stunned to continue for L days. Re
fusals to pay during the whole 2 days
is the basis of arrest.
We are unable to discover how UNI
der the language of this statute there
could be a waiver of the very thing
which the statute contemplated the
tax payer must do, in order to maka
himself amenable to arrest.
Exceptions sustained.
