Editor of The Virginian:
Sir,--In regard to your editorial of February
lst concerning Equal Rights, may I ask upon
ment that women sufragists the world over
seem to forget that with these so-caIled rights
go duties and responsibilities one of which is
to obey the law take the consequences?"
Have you any evidence to show that the
women voters of our nine equal suffrage States
have forgotten the duties and responsibilities
OF citizenship or are in any way refusing to
obey the laws of those States?
1t seems strange that the newspapers OF the
country should have failed TO chronicle such
outbreaks of violence IL they have occurred.
Again, have you any exclusive news from
Norway Sweden, Finland Iceland. Denmark.
Australia or New Zealand, which would war
rant you in asserting that the women voters of
those free countries are law-hreakers or Aun-
mindful or their duties and obligations as Gfti-
zens?
And, lastly are you aware of the fact that
In England, Scotland. Ireland and Wales where
a rev hundred militant suffragettes are making
the grievous mistake of resorting to methods
or violence to attain their ends, the great ma
jority of sufragists in those countries also have
never broken the law departed from the most
orderly and constitutional methods OF advanc-
ing their cause? Even In the face Of Mr. As
quiths deliberate breach of faith in not allow
Ing the woman suffrage amendment to become
part of tho franchise reform bin {he had
promised them this opportunity for the past
three years) the constitutional suf,ragists are

fashion for the rights and duties of cit zensh.p.4

THE bumptious former Senator Bev-
eridge, Of Indiana, who has always suf-
fered from a severe casesof swell-head,
said in a speech for the Bull Moose can
didate for Congress in the Third Maine
district that Secretary Bryan's so-called
treatment Of the Mexican situation is
the laughing stock Of the world, and
that if a French minister had made such
blunders the whole Cabinet would have
been forced to resign. He also took a
fan out of the President.
The former Senator seems to have
lacked for campaign matter and to have
fired his blunderbuss at random. II
there is one thing that all parties have
agreed on it is that Mr. Wilson and Mr..
Bryan have handled the Mexican situa-
tion with great wisdom and caution.
Certain it is that their action is proving
the best that could have been taken.

A NOTED General once remarked that
war is hell. 1t is even worse. A COM
petent authority states that the Balkan
wars cost the lives of 100000 men and
the loss of billion, four hundred mil
lions of dollars. In this calculation
there is no account of the number OF
non-combatants that persisted, how ma
ny more carried away by cholera or how
much private property Twas destroyed
or the suffering among women and chill
dren it occasioned. Truly war is hell.
