Militancy among sufiragcttcs III
London has again assumed alarming
aspect. Led to believe that the prime
minister's cabinet would present the
suffrage amendment before parlIa'
mcnt, miitancy has been singularly
quiet for some time past. On Janu-
AIRY ~ Premier Asquith announced
that, although he desired to fulfill
his promise to the women in the pre-
scntation of this bin, the knowledge
that it would have no chance of pas
sage forbade such Il course. Mrs. En-
cline Pankhurst, leader of the mill
tant faction of the suffrage move
ment, declared at once that the with
drawal of the bill was the result of
conspiracy of which Premier AS
quith had actual and positive knowl-
edge. "Thc answer to this trcach-

speeches serve constantly to stir up
the flames of discomfort and to widen

those who favor n quiet campaign

ment give no sympathy to the mill

From 1856 until 1912 every suffrage

to miitancy. The militant movement

A letter bearing Mayor Duryee's sigma

OF the state. II asked whether or not. IN
their judgment. it would be wise for the
mayors TO meet and discuss the question
of public health. There was a surprising

one-half of those who responded not only
expressed the opinion that such a con-
ference should be held. but added that
they would attend should one be called.

One Of the standby strikes" was bill

used to stop it. and we hated to seem to

came a wave of popular feeling in its

pensary within the portals of the City
Hall itself and the employment of a visit

money for this one was drawn from the
city treasury.
The time for the municipal election
drew near. The party opposed TO the health
officer, having no issue at hand, noted
the comparatively modest hole made in
the citys pile of dollars, and attacked
the increased expenditure of the city 5
funds with the timewOrn argument that
it was an unjustifable and unwise burden
to place upon the shoulders Of the tax
payers. DR. Duryees party met the
charge, front to front. by nominating
this pillaging official for Mayor This
despoiler of the municipal cash box in
the interest of health was elected on the
issue thus thrust forward.
Now a Mayor, DR.. Duryee found him
self facing many problems in municipal
social service. His was no longer the
as possible for the use of department,
but of saying how the city's money
should be apportioned to produce the best
results. How much money should the
health officer have? How should the work
of this department be done? How much
should be expended upon Fairgrounds,
upon medical inspection in public schools,
upon other kindred activities? What were
other cities doing? He opened CORE

He soon discovered that they were in

| have found that 90 per cent OF them laid

the stamping out OF tuberculosis. about
