Suffrage on the board walk Yes; ii
simply can't get away from the yellow
banners with their inscriptions Votes
For Women nowadays.
Coney Island was invaded long ago.
So has been the solemnity of baseball
fields all over the country, and it is
really not surprising after all that the
"cause" has popped its irrepressible
head up on the board walk of Atlantic
City.
Devoted to pleasure and fatal to
thought as this same board walk is, it
has responded with delightful courtesy
to the presence of an alien. In a land
where nothing grows but taffy, an oc-
casional mosquito, rolling chairs and
moving pictures a little touch of a
serious nature is as welcome as a
black velvet bow on a light summer
frock
The invader of the board walk this
summer will be the suffrage roller
chair parade, which is to take place
in few weeks. Mrs. Ella Guilford,
an ardent New York suffragist, was
the instigator of this very novel idea.
No speechmaking is permitted on the
board walk at Atlantic City, but the
superintendent has promised permits
sion for a "vOiceless parade" Just
see what women can suffer for great
causel
Fifty chairs, with women gOwned in
yellow and white, carrying yellow ban
ners, will make the historic board walk
sit up and take notice, thanks to the
efforts of Mrs. Guilford

Doomed Despot.

When President Wilson demands the
retirement of General Huerta and all his
csconspirators in Mexico it is evident
that he means what he has said all along.
There will be no recognition by the
United States of next-door relationships
rooted in murder.
There is no diplomacy IN this utter
ance. 1t NAV be enforced IN various
WAYS, but in the last instance, if the nee
esSity shall arise, there is power enough
behind the words to make them effective

While there is no diplomacy in the

it would not have been issued III Just

bic men, duly qualified to carry on ac-
ceptably such labors that may come be-
fore them. Political fayortism not ac
companied by capacity should beignored.
