QUALITY AND EQUALITY.

Our prediction that March Bird
at the Nations Capital would be
a record-making date proved true.
The brilliant pageant of 10000
women gave the world its great
est peaceful demonstration in the
Votes for Women" cause. Those
who ridicule our women for their
concerted action in marching
down classic Pennsylvania Ave
nue., dressed in their most attract
i've attire, accompanied with num-
erous beautifully decorated floats
representative Of the various &C
tiwities of women, only show their
narrow minded sour-grapesiness.
These same critics would stand
for hours to await the coming of
flower parade, made up of women
on floats and vehicles decorated
with paper flowers which a whole
neighborhood of women had spent
weeks to prepare. The flower
parade over which they go into
ecstacies represents nothing but
vain show, while the women as
sembled on Pennsylvania Avenue
were there to represent a true
idea. The thing to ridicule is
Major Dick Sylvester and his
forceless police force, which was
both insufficient and inefficient. 1t
is pretty pass when school girls
and working women, and any
woman who represents respect
liable idea, cannot march along the
streets of the capital of free ma.
ton without insults. 1t behooves
us men who honor womanhood to
send strong protests to the Wash
ington City authorities demanding
the dismissal of Sylvester and his
lack-force. In the words of 6
Senator, "You cannot league
yourself with wrong against prog
ress and escape the responsibility
for the acts of the substratum o.
supporters of wrong" The For
Meyer troops saved the day anc
the pageant was a success despite
the dereliction of Sylvester. Oul
Maryville, (Mo.) band made
up of fine young women, was hon
ored with first place. The Mis-
souri, float, with Mrs. George Gel
horn of st. Louis in the role o
Victory" was symbolic and
beautiful. The cause is closer tC
victory than it has ever been and
the "Show Me" State is found
moving along the line of progress
for quality and equality.
