every day happenings of Birmingham,
and really 1t is not very strange. We
are at once attracted to the visitor be-
cause she seems to thoroughly enjoy
everything she sees, her eyes are not
weary, and the varied street scenes and
show windows are a treat to her. She
enjoys every phase of the city for a

day and night by night she puts the
fear of woman into the heart of law

reached such climax as to drive the
most staid London newspapers into ad-
vocating lynch law or its equivalent.
The lawlessness of those southern

heen held up here as the last word of

Presently Mrs. Desmond o. Everhard

deal before he allows himself to treat
an unscrupulous woman as she de-
serves. But patience is not inexhaus-
tible. nor it is uniformly distributed.
Whom once an example Of retaliation
is set, the spell Of the traditional code
will be broken, and those whom the law
fails TO protect are certain to adopt
retaliation in the long run That phase
of the war declared by the suffra-
gettes would be brief, but 1t would be
decidedly unpleasant
without any doubt this voices the
opinion Of the average man. The force
of such q suggestion and the wide
spread desire to get even with the
property and peace destroying suffra-
gettes are almost bound to lead to out
RACES upon these female agitators that
may be unprecedently brutal The spirit
of retaliation is growing out of hand
throughout the country. Even the
newspapers supporting the govern
ment and hitherto, advocates of the
womans s cause, are urging stern meas
ures. They recognize that the militant
suffragettes are endeaYoring 10 ter
rorize the public. Heretofore the out
rages on property have been winked
at, and the clemency of the officials
in releasing from jail hunger stfik-
ing" women has been applauded. NOW
from all sides, even from those ardent
democratic quarters that demand the
vote for all men and women over Il
years Of age, there comes an inslsteht
cry that these hysterical fanatics be
punished to the full limit of the law.
Advocate Letting Women Starye
Leading men and women, prominent
newspapers and humanitarian societies
who up till now have taken the view
that 1t is better to let q woman out OF
Jail than to feed her forcibly or let her
commit suicide by self-starvation now
urge the government to permit the
women to starve to death rather than
continue to travesty Justice. Very few
women, 1t is pointed out, will carry
self starvation to the extreme limit.
'Tt is difficult" says the London Star,
democratic and pro-woman, TO see how
the law can be enforced against the
criminals who conspired to place the
bombs in the house at Walton Heath.
In the last sentence is contained the
real reason for this bitter change of
heart among those who have so far
made it possible for the suffragetfes
to carry on their campaign of petty
outrage. First of all, every English
man has ingrained terror and dislike

ESTIMATE OF HAMILTON.

To the Editor OF The Tribune
Sir The Tribune OF the 3lst ult contains
an editorial entitled Not Great Amer
icdn,' and quotes President-elect Wilson
as saving Of Alexander Hamilton a
great man, but in my judgment not
great American" II seems 10 the writer
that the history of Hamilton and his
time does not justify President elect VII
sons conclusions, especially when the
opposite view is maintained by Guizot,
who. being a foreigner ana a man of let
ters i'm prc-eminent sense. would have
been apt 10 exercise not only an intelli-
gent but AN impartial judgment Of ne
distinguished American.
IL is related Of Ilamilton-and the same
Is on record-that while he was Oh Wash
ingtons staff rebuke was administered
by the latter that Hamilton considered
undeserved and he resigned on the spot
and declined To withdraw the resignation
though Washington sent him an apology
But this separation did not interrupt
their mutual confidence and esteem.
Your concluding sentence, Mr.. Editor. IS
very timely in saying, III these elements
In our national life which lind the Consti'
tuition their fitting instrument are Amer
lean. then Alexander Hamilton was
great American and ii is only the new
craftsmanship that is un-American.'
