"MILITANCY" IN AMERICA
Miss Malone Thinks It Means Heck
lings, Arrest and Jail.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: So much has been said lately
against American miitants that | would
like 10 point out some facts In favor OF
militancy. For the last five years | have
been a fighting suffragist or suffragette.
Before that | was "self-controled suf-
fragist." So | know whereof I speak.
From ten to fifteen years before 1903
the suffrage movement I'm this country
was an absolutely stagnant one. The
different bodies of women had reached
an impasse. and the whole movement was
at standstil, not from lack OF en-
thusiasm and good hard work by the
women. but because the work OF suffrage
education which their generation had
done was done and for younger gem
Grafton newer methods were needed.
on December 81. 1907. the suffrage move
ment I'm America became militant. on
that afternoon the first open air meeting
was held in Madison Square. In Febru-
airy 1908. the first street parade for
woman suffrage I'm the United States was
organized nv the Harlem Equal Rights
League Gradually street meetings and

To these have been added hikes" heck

results OF this militancy have astounded
even the oldtime sufragists The coun-
try has become aroused. Suffragists now
hold three parades year and two large
meetings A week Last Friday. I'm the
Metropolitan, and Saturday. at Carnegie
Hall, suffragists held two crowded meet
ings In these meetings pledges Of large
sums were made by women one never
saw at suffrage meetings in the old self
controlled" days. women who never knew
We existed, or cared.
For the country at large there are these
results to the credit of miltancy: From
1869 to 1910 a period OF fortyone years
suffragists won four states. Now, mill

One of the Very Best American Products.

When we are disposed TO envy the marvellous
machinelike perfection Of life In Germany let US

completely insane through telephone evaporation
Occasional wrath. sarcasm and worse are vented
into telephone transmltters here in New York But
we think telephone insanity Of the Berlin variety
is not common Perhaps Americans stand trials and
obstacles better than do the precise Germans Ger
fainly Americans are long suffering race. Beyond
all this by way Of explanation lies the excellence
If that invisible agent Of all America Central.

The Gunman'S Victims.

The show of police energy in following up the
slayer of Patrolmen Heaney and Teare Is impress
sve And it is necessary that 1t should be so
If the tradition Of bravery which those victims
maintained splendidly is to survive the men on the
force must feel that when one of them falls the
pursuit Of the murderer will be relentless lhey
must know that every resource of the department
will be used in avenging them. And crooks ana

And the city does not need the sacrifice of Heaney
and Teare to know that the ordinary policeman VIII
Law down his life unhesitatingy in doing MS du'E
False leadership bent upon graft has not lowered
the fine standard Of courage in the force. Harsh
criticism which often forgets to discriminate has
not impaired 1t.
The slaughter Of men like Heaney and Teare
makes II all the more imperative that such WORK
as District Attorney Whitman is doing to purge the
force Of it's corrupt leaders should be carried on I'M
remittingly officers of their stamp should not nave
their lives sold out by grafters at the top OF the
force to protected criminals
The Rosenthal case showed the relations which
exist between the gangs of gunner and the system
The cangmans part in the scheme of protected vice
was made plain. He the armed retainer or those

to helm them secure the full benefit of the protec

And he was at the disposal of the corrupt element
in the police for execution Of criminal purposes
For these purposes the gangs enjoyed immunity
1t was thus made plain why gangs existed, why
courts called in vain upon the police for the arrest
Of "Gvp the Bloods" and Lefty Louies.
The CITY has heard little of gangmen since Mr..
Whitman put the System on the defensive 1t
will hear less of them If the System can be de-

WIFE WITH SHEARS

Pasqua1e I11iano, the tailor who on
Friday night seriously stabbed his
wife with a pair of shears and after
making his escape from pursuit hid
all night in Beachs woods, only to
emerge Saturday afternoon and swal-
low 21 grains of b1chloride of mercury
on a porch at 6S2 Madison avenue, died
yesterday in st. Vincent's hospital His
victim while in a critical condition
still has chances of recovery.
IIliano was pursued all Saturday
by detectives and patrolmen, but
his whereabouts was not located. and
it is yet uncertain where he procured
the quantity of poison with which he
ended his life. The first seen of him
after his crime was when DIR. Cfrley
was called up and went in the city
arnb ulance to the Madison avenue res
idence. There he found I1liano who
told how he had taken the dose. The
police were communicated with at
once. At st. Vfncent's hospital ev-
erything possible was done to sustain
life, but death resulted within three
hours after admission to the ward.
