To rHE EDITOR or THE SuN-Sir' The
Town Council OF Edinburgh has voted,
more than two to one to petition Pariia-
ment to grant women the ballot. The mo-
ton was made hv Councillor Crawford.
seconded by Councillor Bruce Lindsay and
supported IN vigorous addresses Icy Coun-
ciilors Cameron, Young, Barrics and
others.
In the discussion not n word was salt
against the principle of woman suffrage.
The opposition was based wholly on tn.
ground that II WAS not proper question
to be taken up by tho Town Council. The
vote stood 20 in favor To II opposed.

Freedom Of the Press In Egypt" by
KyaIAKos MIKHAIL, an Egyptian jour
nalist.
To read Mr.. MIKHAiL's version Of
native journalism in Egypt any one
might imagine that were 1t not for the
press law a newspaper Of the very first
Importance would soon spring into he
ing. Let us quote the Egyptian gentle
mans concluding paragraph:
"supposing we have In embryo some
journalist who would give us In Egypt
such newspaper as the Times, Is he
never to have chance to exercise his
talent for the good Of his country be-
cause there is a numerical limit arbi-
trariiy fixed, irrespective Of the value OF
the journals numbered? Are We never to
be allowed to have a really great news
paper because the Ministry Of the Interior
think there are already enoughT'
Elsewhere he informs his readers
that the result Of the press law has
been to lower the tone of the vernncu-
lar press and the manliness of Egyp.
ton journalism" To person nc.
quainted with the mind Of the cdu.
Gated Egyptian such remarks have the
true ring of unconscious satire. for the
sad feature Of the whole situation IL
that the young Egyptians like Mr..
MIKHAIL. are incapable Of seeing them
selves and their limitations because Of
an inherited and colossal egotism. The
fact is that the native press in Egypt
gives by itself sure indication not
only Of the real mental capacity of the
higher Egyptians but also Of the abso-
lutte necessity Of a firm and strict and
vigilant censorship.
No one knows better, than Mr.. Mix
HAIL that the ruin Of the regime OF
sir EIDoN GoRsT was due purely to
the fact that the native editors took "a
mean and ungrateful advantage Of his
lenity toward them until their vic.
| lent speech eliminated in the murder
Of BouTRos Pasha. the Prime Minister
Of Egypt. Sir ELpoN GoRsT then res.
directed and enforced an old. forgot

same British Agent cannot show kind.
ness and severity at the same time in
such a country as Egypt.
II Is true that Lord CRoMER let tn,
press law fall into disuse. And why!
Because under man Of the sfatur,
Of CRoMER native editors knew better
than to preach anarchy, and aside from
any such overt signs OF encouraging
political assassins Lord CRoMER IL
nored the Egyptian press, or rather
he regarded 1t as sort of safety valv,
for their pseudo patriotism.
Mr.. MIKHAIL we'll knows that the
native proprietor regards his news
paper merely ms vehicle to expires,
his passion for intrigue. and that hi,
writer's are simply pawns in his per
sonal plots: and that II II were not fo
