popular young society men, "I was greatly opposed to suffrage, but when a delightful western girl, with an irresistible smile, pinned Votes for Women" badge into the lapel of by coat, became the proudest backslider the world has ever known. But if some stern-faced Amazon had flung a hatchet at nay -suffragist head, l would have gore through endless torture rather than confess such woman was fit to help form government" But i'll the fight for the ballot there was no violence and little if any friction.

Persia, Turkey, etc, things were again capitalized by withholding po- litical privileges from them.
 Is not this the just law of com pensation in its most admirable working?
