Thy Carrie Chapman catt.l

The vote on the woman suffrage
bill does not represent the real atti-
tude of parliament on the question OF
votes for women. Those who voted
against the Dickinson measure were
impelled by political motives ano
seized on militancy as an excuse.
afilitancy undoubtedly is hurting the
cause. especially abroad. This is 50
because the widely published details
Of suffragete arson and bomb-thruw-
ing. entirely obscures the really good
and solid work done by the non-mil-
itant suffragists.
Actually the militant suffragettes
are In the minority in London. There
are only about three score of them all
told. but they advertise so effectively
and theatrically that the world thinks
there are thousands of them.
Although personally I am strongly
opposed to violence, l realize that
there is more consistency in militanc,
in England than there would be else.
where Englishmen themselves set
the precedent OF obtaining the vote
by violence and hence the militant
sef-justification OF their recent acts.
The campaign of militancy In Eng
land has exasperated thousands OF
men, hut there are also other thous-
ands In sympathy with the women.
These men sympathizers are not
bound by the womens promise not to
endanger human life and should they
join the suffragettes in their violence,
they would most surely clash with
the men anti-suffTa gists and awful
things would happen I regard the
situation as gravely serious. think
that the British government is large
ly blamable for the present situation,
perhaps more by sins OF omission than
by those OF commission It should
differentiate between the militants
and non-mflitants, instead of allowing
the public to class all suffragists to-
gether. The government should give
proper protection to meetings o, the
