tence through the acts OF government
officials. some p%alliauon might be

something which is not a fundamental
necessity to any human being but
which. on the other hand. Is open to
honest difference OF opinion.
The hatred Of these English suffra-
cettes toward government officials. is
out Of all proportion. and their mad
acts seem more like those Of primitive
cannibsls than OF Anglo-SaXon women
OF the twentieth century. They are
creating in their own imaginations
grievances which do not exist. II is
improbable hat there is a ma in
England who has for the s~unragettes
even a fraction az the enmity which
they are displaying daily.

WALK Gives WAY
AND Y BOYS DIE
DRoWNINeS OF DAY.

Lawrence, Mass, July IA narrow
wooden walk leading over Is feet of
water to the municipal bathhouse in
the Merrimac river yesterday gave
way under the stamping feet of a
crowd of impatient boys and at least
y of the little fellows were drowned.
There may be more bodies in the
stream.
The boys, ranging from 8 to Is years,
were waiting for William B. Blythe,
the bathhouse keeper, to open the
door. No one knew how many there
were in the party. but it IS thought
that 40 is a conservative estimate.
The boys were jumping up and down
as they shouted to Blythe to open
up when the supports sank and the
walk extension dropped like a trap
door, rolling the lads into the river.
There is a swift current at this point
drawn by the falls quarter of a mile
below and the youngsters were caught
in this. Many of them could not swim.
1t was thought at first that only
three were drowned and it was not
until hours later that the probable
loss of life was realized. A boy in

just how hard the assessor has gone
after them.

and as a result the home of Henry

night. When the family arose a gold
