advocacy of equal suffrage, is being
attacked because of its alliance with
the Liberal government. has hit on
a novel plan to meet this latest move
of the suffragists. Husky women
stewards are being employed to deal
with the interrupters, and, as one
labor leader explained, the plan is
distinct success, because on account
of a subtle point of militant psychol-
ogy, the sense of martyrdom is less
comforting when one is elected by a
member of ones own sex. At re-
cent demonstration the militants
cried desparingly: why didn't you
send your men to put US out"
It has become an open secret that
Christabel Pankhurst is anxious to
end her long exile in France, for she
knows that her mother is not well
enough to take up the arduous duties
Of commander-in-chief.
Christabel knows that she can re-
turn to England as free woman
only on condition she discards the
extreme principles OF militancy OF
which she has been chief exponent
She Is said to believe now that such
militancy has run its course and that
the future appeal must be made on
moral grounds.
Sylvia Pankhurst, a later recruit
to the militant field. is not yet ready
to abandon Il as q lost cause, and
she Is particularly anxious TO test
her East End peoples army" in a
parliamentary demonstration, or in
raids like those she made last
autumn on the prime minister's house
in Downing street. Hence the fric-
ton with her sister IN the antocracy Of
the society.
Sylvia does not believe the govern
ment will give the vote until the
country is on the verge of revolution.
I and she believes she can start the
revolt IN the East End. Other lead
ers share her belief that q revolution
could be started in the congested
East End, but they are not at all
sure that once started 1t could be
controlled in favor of votes for
women.
They prefer their own elaborate
schemes for making the lives OF pub
lie men uncomfortable, and, while
not Directing TO violence, prefer TO
keep its use within their own hands.
The failure of the Pankhursts to
give the forward command for this
new plan OF campaign has made sew
eral members OF the war cabinet
restless and the overthrow OF the
Pankhurst triumvirate seems immi-
nent.

Thousands who suffer from back
ache and kidney complaint have tried
one remedy after another, finding only
temporary benefit. This is discour-
aging, but there is one kidney medi-
cine that has earned a reputation for
lasting results and there is plenty of
proof OF its merit right here in Rock
Island.
Here is the testimony of one who
used Doan's Kidney Pills years ago.
and now makes his testimony even
stronger.
