ENCLAND'S ANARCHY.

The seriousness of the suffra-
gette outrages in England has con-
sisted not so much in what the
wild women" have been doing as
in the predicament the country has
found itself in having no remedy
calculated to put an end to it.
When a paper such as the London
Times admits that nobody as yet
has suggested a feasible plan of &C
tion for preventing the outrages,
though the governments helpless
ness is bringing the nation into con-
tempt, the extent of the difficulty
can be more fully understood.
The "cat and mouse" act does not
work. Up to this time public opin-
ion and the law itself have COM
PEELED forcible feeding and the TAX
ing of all other necessary precau-
tions to save the life of a prisoner.
Now that the churches and the pub
lie generally have begun to clamor
for starvation, if necessary; of the
"furies," England shows a thorough
alarm. The desperateness of the
situation is exemplifed by the ten
tative proposal of the Times that
parliament enact a law relieving
prison officials of the duty of keep
ing the prisoners alive by forcible
feeding. The alternative would be
to let them starve themselves to
death if they wanted to.
The trouble with the government
is that it withheld its hand too
long. 1t treated the suffragette too
leniently in the beginning. Now
the whole country has an attack
Of "nerves" on the question, and
whichever way it turns seems to be
the wrong way. 1t would be a pitt
full and humiliating surrender, but
about the only thing left to do, if
England cannot put a stop to the
sort of lawlessness which now pre-
walls and is ready to acknowledge
its impotence, is 10 yield to the de-
mand. When society is attacked
and whipped, society has to yield.

THE UPPER HOUSE"

Denmark is going through an ex-

ONE of those which at last forced
doption of the amendment for the
irect election of our own Senate.
The Danish upper chamber is a
hamber of privilege, in part ap-
'ointed by the crown, in part rep
esenting wealth. The lower cham
er passed a proposition for consti-
utional amendment to make the
pper chamber directly elective and

To those men and women who
have lived only the last forty years.
and to those who have lived twice
that time. the social kaleidoscoiss
has a different aspect. Our people
brought with them from England. on
the landing OF the Puritans, the
laws, and to large extent, the
manners. customs. and social IDEAS
of our English ancestors. These all
carried with them the idea of TIE in
feriority of the woman. IL was not
until 1s7s-7g that she was permitted
by the United States authorities to

both ownership and ability. She

PAVEMENT IN THE PLAZA

Much of the criticism that has
been indulged by reason of the de-
lay in parking and beautifying the
Union Station plaza has had inspir-
alton in a misunderstanding of the
difficulties that surround that work.
When the new station building was
completed, it was fronted by a
most unattractive waste of clay
banks and mud holes, and there was
demand for immediate improve
ment. That demand could not be
complied with. Most of the plaza
area was occupied by made
ground" and the effort to improve
it in a permanent way would have
represented big waste of money,
because the land needed to settle.
But it has had some years of shak-
ing down, and now the authorities
are putting on it the permanent
surfacing of pavement and turf
that will transform it into one more
of the beauty spots of the city.
There seems to be room for mis-
giving about one detail of the work
now in progress. The large area
in the plaza's center, surrounding
the Columbus monument, is being
paved with red vitrified brick. Per-
haps there are traffic reasons for
using these; certainly there is no
ether.
The station site is one of the hot
test places in the town. There is
every reason for using the utmost
care to avoid acccntuating this un-
fortunate condition. Every extra
yard of asphalted surface, marble
and brick, in the wide expanse in
front of the big structure, will in
crease the area that will gather in
and radiate the suns heat, to the
discomfort of travellers. The plaza
ought to be done in neutral colors
that would neutralize the heat as
much as possible. Every possible
foot of its area should be in turf. |
There is no good reason for paving
the large part Of its expanse that |
is now being put under brick. II
would far better be in grass.
But if it canna: be in grass, then |
at any rate red vitrified brick |
should by no means be used. They |
will be hotter than almost anything
that could have been chosen. Even
an asphalt surface, while it would
reflect the suns rays more vicious
ly, would not hold and radiate them
so long.
The plaza paving should prefer
ably not be paving at all; it should
be turf. But if there must be paw
ing, then let it be of creosoted wood
blocks, which will neutralize the
heat more than any other available
paving material.
1t may be too late for reconsider
alton of the surfacing scheme that
has been adopted; but if it is not
changed now, there is every. proba-
bility that it will have to DC
changed later. 1t is unfortunate
that, after so long delay getting
started on this work, there should
be reason for any dissatisfaction
with the treatment finally accorded
to the plaza space.
