This preliminary attack will take
the form of political support of GER
tain labor candidates. who expect to
oppose the anti-suffrage cabinet
members at the next general cleo
ton. The government is being at
| tackled because. although 1t has a
majority in favor of women's suf-
fraRe. 1t refuses to make their en-
reimbursement q government meas
ure. The Labor party will be as
sisted because 1t is. SO far. the only
party which has placed women's suf-
frage in its official platform. The
union itself Is non-partisan, embrac-
| ing members from all the parties, but
| it is the opinion of the officials that
the hand of the government should be
forced by opposing its anti-suffrage
adherents.
paign Is to be concentrated on an
effort to show the public quite clear
" one at least OF the reasons why
the union desires the enfranchise-
ment of women. This reason will be
expressed in terms Of the welfare of
children. A program has been ar
ranged under the general title of
1.-THE Child and the State" The cam
paign will be carried on under the
various heads of infant mortality,
children in schools. defective chill
dren. DELINQUENT children, State chill
dren. employment OF children and
the legal position of children.
Why "Bobbies" Made No Arrests.
The police have been subjected to
considerable criticism for the small
number of arrests they made at the
recent Bow Baths riot in the East
End, when Sylvia Pankhurst was res
cued by her followers, but modesty
has prevented the London policeman
from coming forward with a perfect
ly adequate excuse for his small suf-
fragette bag.
The story of the newest form OF
militant strategy might never have
been made public had not some of the
victorious suffragettes boosted about
it to their friends. According to these
fighters every time policeman
grasped a suffragette one of her
comrades. told off for that purpose
would rip open the officers coat and
cut his suspenders. Torn between
conflicting senses of duty and mod
esty the constable had to sacrifice
his capture or his dignity. and every
one who knows the London bobby
will guess that the prisoner escaped
The troubles of the much-abused
police did not end with the escape
of their prisoners, for when they
were lined UP before the inspector to
report off duty, they got q rating for
their failure to stand at attention
with hands at their sides. The chat
fling of their comrades in the station
house, when they discovered the
cause for this slackness, did not add
to their happiness.
1t is said that when Miss Panlzhurst
was arrested the next night at Pop
lar Town Hall her captors had pro-
vided for repetition of the attack
by anchoring their trousers so Sc
| curely that mere shipping of the
suspenders did not cause them any
| concern.
Alexandra "Younger, Than Mary.
! Never was a greater contrast be-
! tween two queens afforded than the
I.presence together of Queens Mary
! and Alexandra at the marriage of
/ Prince Arthur Of Connaught and the
Duchess of Fife.
Although common report says the
| two women are not on the most
| friendly terms, custom demands that
at many functions they appear to-
gether, and at the marriage at St
James Palace they both entered and
| left the chapel hand in hand. OF the
| two, in face at least, Queen Alex
andra, who will be sixty-nine on De-
cember ! next, and is therefore
twenty-three years Older than her
daughter-in-law,a appears the younger
but when she walks her age is more
apparent. Her face, too, Ia always
frightened by smile, which no doubt
accounts for her never-waning popu'
larity with the general public, who
| always cheer her more heartily than
any members of the royal family
with the possible exception of the
Duke of Connaught, with whom she
divides honors in this respect.
Leaving the chapel the other day II
was noticed that the queen mother
with that tact for which both she
and King Edward were famous lin.
gered to bow to all present, SO thai
none might feel sighted. In fact, she
was so persistent In this that Queer
Mary had moro than once to gently
urge her forward.
