CIRCuMvENTING THE HUNGER
STRIKE.

Mrs. Pankhurst has been sentenced
to three years imprisonment for In
citing persons to destroy property, the
particular property in this instance be-
ing a house that was being built for
Lloyd-George, and which was blown
up by dynamite. The press dispatch
cs received here do not give the evil
dence on which a conviction was se-
cured. but it was sufficient to convince
the jury. The defendant entered a
plea of not guilty. reversing the atti-
tude which she had maintained for
merly. which was one Of defiance, and
J of determination to stop at nothing in
years imprisonment is quite a en-
tence. but if Just a plain ordinary man
had been guilty of one-tenth Of the
crimes committed or melted by the
Pankhurst he would have gone
to prison for a good deal more than
three years. and the woman has got
off very lightly. The British govern
ment has also secured the passage Of
a bill which is intended to simplify the
situation which exists when a hunger
strike" is declared. Among other
cheerful customs which some of the
unbalanced agitators have adopted is
that of refusing to eat when they are
sent to Jail for running amuck. AS
la member of parliament said in dis.
~cussing the hill. in such a ease one Of

the prisoner must he released, or she
must be forcibly fed, or she must be
offered food and permitted to starve
herself to death if she is foolish
enough to do it. Jailors have no au-
thority to release prisoners. To per-
init them to starve to death would be
unpleasant. although the act was
merely that of their own foolish stub
bornness. Hence forcible feeding has
been rcsorted to, and this Is not salts
factory. for it has given rise to many
expressions Of sympathy from the
weak-minded people who would toll
crate the burning of buildings and the
destruction Of mail and other property,
with all the inconvenience and loss
and possible death that 1t has caused.
but who could not bear the thought
Of a foolish woman being fed with a
stomach pump or whatever they use
for that purpose. The new bill pro-
vides that prisoners whose health is
suffering from lack of food may be re.
leased on ticket of leave. The idea
seems to be a good one. The hun
ger strike" is purely a bid for SYM
pathy. and the striker will have more
trouble working up sympathy on the
hunger plea if permitted to run at
large for a time.

soft. derisive laughter rippled down

as she really. was-a tired, faded. in

ANYBODY except the old mother with
life stretched gray and joyless. She
had gone to work at sixteen. That was
when her father died. She had had a
brother. but he had rebelled at small
town life and had run away. He had
written occasionally, but now they had
years. With the chickens. Vegetables
and small fruit that grew upon the
acre Of land surrounding the small
cottage n n her mother made her
wages keep them in a fair degree Of
comfort. But 1t was sombre comfort.
And she remembered drearily that at
twenty she had been an uninteresting
girl with serious face and ordinary
brown hair. None Of the young TEL
lows had Eve looked at her twice
probably not wen once.
Until now she had not cared except
in a dull, listless way. But somehow
today h was suddenly seized with a
fierce resentment at life. Why should
some girls. such as Mildred and Nell.
I'VE in such carefree gayety and she

merely a matter of sleep and work?
When she left the store that evening
Mildred and Nell passed her az She
turned down the side street that led
to her home. They were laughing
light-heartedly. M on each side Of a
tall. gray-eyed man in gray tweed. He
was Wilbur Train. manager of the new
real estate Office just opened by an
eastern syndicate.
Ella had been introduced to him at
church the Sunday before, but evil
IDENTIFY he did not remember her. He
never glanced at the shabby figure
that passed him. She had liked his
lace Sunday. and now the sight o. the
girls. who did not notice her, gave
poignancy to his forgetfulness. Her
eyes blurred with tears as she turned
in the path leading to the rickety cot
tage.
But instantly she forgot that snippy.
gay girls existed. Her brother. Jerry.

g Duluth Herald: Probably, IL it is
simmered down to the last analysis,
any kind Of fraud or deceit is Just as
reprehensible, Just as bad as any other
kind. It is all based on the credulity
Of human nature, and it would be
hard, IL not impossible, to draw any
line.
But when the deceit is practiced
through taking advantage Of what we
are accustomed TO call 1.-The finer feel
ings.'' such as those Of humanity, pity,
sympathy, etc.. there comes with the
knowledge of the wrong-doing a feel
ing. Of repulsion that is not always the
accompaniment Of the knowledge of
less complicated wrong.
Such a case il that of the man who
has been %canvassing various parts of
the city under the guise of collecting
help for the sufferers in the Ohio and
Indiana foods. He represented him
self as an agent for the Salvation
Army, and as such il known to. have
secured ON - in money and some
clothing. Who he is nobody seems to
know. Officers of the Salvation Army

work, and this should constitute a
