THE AMERICAN SUFFRAGETTE

1t is very manifest from the reports
OF the many unusual methods employ
ed by the English suffragettes in their
contest for recognition that the Amer,
lean auffragette leaders are far more
conservative and sensible women. The
pouring of sulphuric acid in mail box
es and the throwing of hatchets at
English dignitaries has done nothing
to help the woman suffragists' cause
in England
In America the contest is almost en-
tirely the other way. 1t is true that
there have been many parades of suf-
fragettes in America, especially in
New York and other of the larger cit
les. But that is not anything like the
disorder that the English woman vote
seeker has raised. So extreme has
become the method of the anffragettes
in England that their cause has prac-
tically become discredited.
At first in England the movemeu;
for woman suffrage enlisted some Of
the best known and most conservative
English women. Funds began to pour
into the Golfers of the organization
Then the meetings became a social
fad. Women went to them for divers
ion. Finally the suffragette cause be-
came the Mecca of women who We're
in the movement for what they could
get out of it, professional noise and
disturbance makers. So that now the
cause of woman suffrage in England D.
all but dead, badly discredited by the
methods employed and by those per
mitted to join the movfment.
But the American woman sees even
now the approaching complete triumph
of the movement for equal suffrage in
this country. More than half thG
states, in the Union already have linn
tied suffrage, while nine have equal
suffrage for women. 1t will be only 4
short time before the cause of woman
suffrage will have triumphed over ey-
cry obstacle. Credit for this must be
given to American women. They have
proved themselves more sensible tina.
their English cousins. One would have
thought in advance that the suffragette
cause would have been conducted Just
exactly different in the two countries
1t is indeed tribute to the good sense
and conservatism of American women

THE BLINDNESS OF MR.. MORGAN

1t may help Mr. Morgan to under
stand if his case is stated by analogy,
and in a shape that will appeal to his
own experience. He would discharge
his chauffeur if he should find him to
be partner in the garage that is sup
plying the Morgan automobiles with
gasoline. And he would discharge him
because of the nature of that relation,
without inquiring into specific trans
actions, or making any charge of dis
! honesty. 1t is an axiom of fundament-
| al business ethics that the purchasing
agent of d firm shall not have profit
sharing interest in any of the concerns
| from which he buys supplies. For how
can he be faithful to both trusts? If
he is faithful to his employers, he
must get the highest possible prices;
if he is faithful to his associates, he
must get the highest possible prices.
If he is faithful to either, he must nee
easarily be disloyal to the other. This
| is so simple that every business man
understands it. 1t is an axiom not
as we'll And vet Mr.. Morgan does
| this: Aa head of the voting trust he
appoints the directors of the Southern
Railway; the directors then sell to
| Mr. Morgan as a banker millions of
securities at price which is fixed be-
/ tween the two parties without Compel
i've bidding Mr. Morgan sees no wrong
| in this because he is an honest man
and knows he is honest. What Mr..
! Morgan fails to realize is that this re-
! lation between buyer and seller is not
permissible, wholly regardless of a1y
charge of unfair dealing. We cannot
in ad emocracy have one rule or one
charge of unfair dealing. We cannot
in a democracy have one rule or one
statute for chauffeurs- and purchasing
agenta and a different one for captains
of finance. Mr. Morgan made an ad-
mirable impression of candor and pat
lent willingness to grasp what the Pui0
committee was trying to impress upon
him When that committees recon-
mendations are translated into stat
utes, Mr.. Morgan will make it point
of pride to obey the law with meticul-
Gus laxactness. All that is embraced in
the term Money Trust" consists of re-
Ipcated examples of the same sort Of
thing: Mr.. Morgan, as the dominating
/ figure of the Steel Trust, ia seller of
steel rails; as the dominating figure
! in more than one-fifth of the railroads
of the country, he is a buyer of steel
rails; so completely is he in one per-
son the dominating seller and the dom
rails has not varied one cent a ton in
eleven years. Doubtless Mr. Morgan
would reply that both the Steel Cor
poration stockholders and the railroad
stockholders are we'll satisfied. ITS
| best for all concerned, and all con-
cerned have been satisfied" Mr.. Nor
gan would say. But in these later
years we have come to see that "all
concerned" includes the public who,
after all, pays the bill. And it is this
lately recognized right of public SUI
pervision that is going to insist on a
change.-Collier's Weekly.
