TT is asserted, perhaps with lit
tie knowledge and less judg-
ment. that Mrs. Paukhurst's
visit to America will be product
i've Of wide results in the adop-
ton of a policy Of 'militancy" by
American women.
1t is to be hoped these forecasts
are wrong. "NIilitancy," as now
understood and practiced, has
done untold harm in England
has shocked and grieved the best
friends Of woman suffrage among
men. and has done apparently
irreparable damage to women
themselves. Nothing in the world
can justify the action OF the
Pankhurst circle and their fol-
lowers. But they have been
driven into the irrationality of
crime by the more reasonless
irrationality ana more criminal
crimes of the Asquith Cabinet. In
America, between the Pacific and
the Atlantic, there is not the
shadow Of pretense that women
are driven or are likely to be
driven out of the path of orderly.

vocating a noble cause.

them outside; they were mauled
by blackguards. They continued
to go to meetings and to inter-
rupt. The violence grew. Fil.hy
scoundrels offered themselves as
stewards" that is to say, as
chuckers- out, at meetings for the
opportunity it gave them of COM
uniting indecent assaults upon
women and girls in the act of
carrying them and bundling them
out of meetings.
The women were prosecuted;
not the roughs. They were
charged with all sorts of fancied
offenses, such as assaulting Do
licemen, etc. Had they paid the
small fines imposed the world
would have heard no more of it.
But they refused to pay the fine,
and they went to Jail Here they
We're treated as the worst OF
criminals are treated. Women of
refinement, university women,
girls among the sweetest and most
engaging Of their sex, were forced
to strip, stand in line of women
as nude as themselves, vicious
women, pickpsCkets, thieves and
criminals of every kind, waiting
for their bath, and go into the
same bath tut and the same wa
ter as these women had been in.
The prison system has been
changed because of the suffer
ings and through the agitation Of
these women
The women refused food. Then
the Government adopted the foul
and disgusting practice of forci-
BILE feeding. I believe that it is
entirely Illegal 1 believe that if
the women had carried this mat
ter from court to court they would
have proved before the end that
the prison authorities had been
guilty of assault. That is only an
opinion. The fact is clear that
atrOcious and hideous cruelties
have been inflicted upon some Of
the noblest women living upon the
earth at the present time.
Yet these things did not drive
the women to crime.
Asquith committed himself to a
great suffrage meAsure-but it
was for men!

ChGistabel Plnkhurst spoke in my

Some of the women members OF

The late Prime Minister of

Women Were Ignored.

There has been for some years
an agitation for the amendment
of the franchise and registration
laws. took part in it myself
Millions Of men are without the
vote in Great Britain. Asquith
undertook to remedy this state Of
things. But the demands Of wom-
en- were ignored.
Mrs. Pankhurst and the women
who follow her could bear no
more They had borne indecent
assault, Imprisonment, the atroci-
ties of forcible feeding; some OF
them had suffered unto blood. But
this last insult, the enfranchise-
ment of unenfranchised men, on
whose behalf there has been ONLY
slight and sporadic agitation. and
the denial to them of the vote they
claimed, seemed to them the last
indignity, the cruelest and cow
ardliest assault of all.
And they resorted to violence.
Here l part company from them.
They have committed assaults.
They have resorted to fire. They
have employed dynamite. They
have attacked the innocent as well
as the guilty, the openly sympa-
thetic friend as we'll as TIE indif-
ferent person or the avowed oppo-
nent Of their cause.
l can not be party to wrong
doing.
While they were willing to suf-
fer wrong, I applauded them.
When they begin to do wrong it
is impossible longer to defend
them. It is not right to do wrong.
BIoodshed and crime, the torch.
gunpowder and dynamite are not
the weapons which I care to see
women employer men, either

movement in the dawn of the

voting when Senator La Toilette, re-
publican, cast his vote with the dem

The democrats had counted through
out the long fight upon losing the
votes of Senators Ransdell and Thorn

would put sugar on the free list. Ua-

ADVANTAGES OF THE |NTERURBAN
As TOLD BY v. B. JOHNSON
The Ardmoreite:

The Ardmoreite:
Doesn't everything look good fol
| Ardmore and Carter county? We are
| just coming into our own. Unlike
many other states We have never had
a boom and had to suffer the conse.
quent reaction. In my travels ! have
not seen city of double the size OF
Ardmore, half as good and no county
anywhere with so many natural re
sources.
But We have been too well salts
fled in the past, to let the public in
general know what we have or even
where We are. Now is the time to
Strike the iron while it is hot" with
a new railroad under construction, the
consummation of our fondest hope,
and an interurban ready and wait
ing the proper encouragement to reach
out through our richest territory and
afford a quick and cheap method OF
transportation to market, and thereby
enhancing the value of every mans
land within at least two miles on eth
er side of it, to price none OF us
can now appreciate, unless We in
form ourselves as to what similar
roads have done in other communi-
ties.
My observation has led me to be-
lieve that such lands are we have
between here and Woodford would
easily sell for 800 per acre if this
road is built, and pay a good dividend
on that price. No lands are valuable
unless the product is accessible to
market and the more and better facil-
tiles we have for this, the more val
liable the land becomes. If you bring
to the city produce, people will come
to live In the city to buy, and there
fore each will grow and prosper as
the other grows and prospers. | sug-
gest two things: First-Everybody
(and this includes farmers) get be-
hind the Commercial club, and push;
second-Give every encouragement
possible to the interurban.
We mustn't stop on this side of the
hill, but keep climbing until we reach
the top. Cooperation, encourage
ment and optimism, will work won
ders in the next twelve months.
Yours truly.

LOCATE HOME FOR
MAYNARD GIRLS
NCORRIGIBLES WILL BE CARED
FOR IN OKLAHOMA CiTY-GoV-
ERNOR APPOINTS.

Oklahoma City. Okla, Sept. 9.--The
state home for incorrigible and way
ward girls was located in Oklahoma
City today when Gov. Cruce, acting
under law of the Fourth Legisla-
ture, contracted with Mrs. Angie A.
Russell, of Oklahoma City, to care
for the inmates at maximum cost
of $12 per month. The price serves
for the first twenty-five girls. The
next twenty-five are to be cared for
at the rate of $1l per month, and all
in excess of fifty are to be cared for
at $40 per month.
The contract, when formally drawn
by the attorney generals department,
will include boarding, clothing and in
struction. Mrs Russell VIII obtain
the old ountry club building in the
northern part of town, nor far from
Belle Isle. The legislature appropri-
ated $4,000 for two years, and at the
rate agreed upon not more than forty
inmates can be cared for. The law
makes the governor sole director in
expending the money, but he will re-
quire that the institution be under
supervision OF the chtr.ties depart
ment or any committee he might
name. County Judges issue commit
ments to the institution after hear
ing at which the girl is adjudged to
be incorrigible or wayward and the
cost of transportation 70 ana from
the home viii be paid by the couu-
ties. The governor will send let
tlr to county judges to ascertain be-
fore girls are sent here whether &C
commodations are available.

proposed route, state that they will
give $500 an acre on all their lands
that lie within two miles of the road.
This is so far the most generous Of
fer that has been made on agricul-
tural lands and if others who own
lands will be as generous, the road
can be built and there will not be a
bond against it except for electrifl-
cation and equipment, and the stock
ought to draw in dividends from seven
