Mr.. Cook referred to these victories
merely as Of an epoch in college de-

To the Editor of TIE TINES:
There were two reasons for the ma
tion's disgrace on Monday at the hands
of Sylvester. First, his hostility to the
suffrage movement. but secondly. and
most OF all, he wanted to choose a
woman's parade as a means OF forcing
Congress to give him more police.
Sylvester did not dare to have an
inadequacy about arrangements on
Tuesday. He protected the soldiers.
who wore swords and carried guns, but
he left defenseless women with moth
ing In their hands to protect them
against the fury and insults of the
mob. He thought failure in their
case would not be resented. but would
secure his end of increased men. He
did not dare face the men with arms

a breath would mar their path.
