Sylvia PankhurSt Sent to Serve
Out Old Sentence.
After Being Wounded in Bat
tie With Police.

London, Aug. 11-Seventeen militant
suffra gettes were brought up in po-
lice court today and sentenced to terms
of Imprisonment ranging from week
to two months. as a sequel to an at
tempt to storm Premier Asquith's Of
fetal residence in Downing street.
Sylvia Pankhurst. leader of the
storming party was not among the
prisoners as she had been taken di-
rect to Holloway Jail to serve another
portion of her previous sentence.
The third attempt of fragettes I'M
der command of Sylvia Pankhurst to
take Premier Asquith's house in Down
/ ing street by storm failed when the
militant leader was captured by a COZ
don of police thrown across Whitehall
after a stiff fight, in which the officers
used their clubs.
The trouble began after a mass meet
ing held under the auspices of the Free
Speech Defense Committee, called TO
demand the unconditional release of
George Lansbury former Socialist
member of the House of Commons. who
was sentenced July 80 to three months
imprisonment for making inflammatory
speeches. but was released August ,
under the cat and mouse act" while
on a hunger strike.
Miss Pankhurst had refused an invi-
tation to address this meeting when ir-
formed that she would not be permitted

Downing street.
Free speakers advised the crowd not
to attack the premier's residence, but

hurst, true to her promise made last
week. mounted the plinth of the Mel
son column and in fiery words ordered
her sympathizers to follow her.

women carrying the Womens Social

by a red liberty cap and preceded by a
flying wedge of dockmen and other
husky East Enders.
The police in Trafalgar Square al
lowed the procession to leave the
square and then fell in behind. The
suffrage sympathizers saw the reason
for this move when they encountered
a battle line of heavy policemen
thrown across Whitehall at the Horse
Guards, the office of the inspector gem
eral.
The militants rushed this line with such
dash and courage that few of them
penetrated the first Gordon where the
fight became fierce that the police
used their clubs. Reserves then appeared,
and Sylvia Pankhurst and five other
women and nine men were arrested and
taken to the police station in taXicabs.

state comptroller, appointed some
one to the important revenue Office
for West Tennessee not closely re,
lated to him. But he is not to be too
severely blamed for naming his

that an appointment of that kind is
due to any sort of political bargain

ENFORCING THE LAW.

Says the Jackson Jacksonian:
mo man with thimble full of
brains in his head ever believed that
any Judge or Sheriff, Mayor or Chief
of Police could not enforce any laws
they wanted to enforce. The only
ground for such talk was that these
popular sentiment was opposed to
it. But the power was there, was
always there, it is there now, every
where in the state, and can be exer-
cised in Memphis, just as it is being
nooga."
Our friend Stockard is bit off in
his politics, but he is dead right on
this proposition. While he is a
regular" of the rantankerous kind
he has some sound ideas.
The Herald has insisted all along
that the officials charged with the
oAcCutlOu vi IHC law WClC. at
if the liquor laws were not as we'll
enforced as other criminal statutes.
Where there is will there is way.
The conscientious official, owing no
sort of sympathy to the lawless IL
quor interests, and earnestly oppos-
ed to the sale of liquid damnation,
can close every joint within his
fesses his impotency he should re-
tire from Office and let some one sue
duty. The official who confesses
that he is powerless to perform a
solemn duty, in good faith should
promptly retire SO that some drawer
and more faithful official can dis
charge the duties of the place.
No official has right to accept
pay from the county or municipal
ity or state who refuse to do his
duty or who confesses that his Office
must surrender to the demands of
an outlawed and damnable traffic
in human souls But the very fact
that we have officials of this class
who will not attempt to perform
their duty is an eloquent, convincing
and irrefutable argument for the en-
actment of the removal law recon-
mended by Gov. Hooper. This is in
fact the most important and the only
really effective measure for law en-
forcement recommended by the chief
executive Officials who will not do
their duty and keeps their oaths
should be compelled TO vacate That
is the purpose of the removal bill.
No individual or corporation will
keep a man and pay his salary who
is unfaithful and inefficient and
neither should the state, the county
or the city.

FARMERS DESERVE IT.
Memphis News-Scimitar.)

None can begrude the farmers OF
this section their good fortune in the
bountiful crops of this year. They
richly deserve all the reward that
comes to them.
However much of the profits of 9th
er lines of production may be due to
unfair manipulation, the farmer ere
ates his values through his toll, and
in screating them enriches all.
The prosperous, middle-aged farm
er of today, facing his declining years
in comfort and plenty, may be envied
by the wage workers of the cities.
But let us not forget that the new
prosperous farmer has brought his
present condition at lost of ceaseless
toll and tireless energy, of almost in
conceivable self-denial and self-sacri
fee, of disappointments and discour

survive.

cows, raises the chickens, makes the
soap and apple butter and
bakes the bread and pies, and brings

The lives of these men and women

farmers that have converted our vast
domain from wilderness into rich
