THE MILITANT FANATICS.

Kansas City Journal. Speaking Of
the death of Emily Wilding Dawson,
the English suffragette who died as a
result of injuries received when she
rushed out on the derby race track
and tried to stop the kings horse.
Christobel Pankhurst said: Miss
Davison's memory will live In women's
hearts and history for all time"
The Dawson ,woman's method OF
achieving enduring fame is doomed to
failure. While she may be remem-
bered for a time with admiration by
q small coterie Of militants OF Eng
land, her folly will brand her In the
eyes of the world as fanatic whose
unhappy mental condition brought
upon her an untimely and needless
death. Such acts as hers are hind
rance, not a help, to suffrage, for
they retard the cause for which she
died. Instead of being heroine to
the world, she is referred to simply as
being foolish or crazy. And any condi-
ton of mind which prompts reckless
and fruitless deeds of that kind Is
taken as proof of incapacity for intel
ligent suffrage.
