Woman Suffrage

The Legislature has given hearing to those who
in favor OF giving to women the same as men, the
right and duty of voting holding Office, and managing
the government.
1t is queer mixture of people who support woman
suffrage Every free lover and smoking is SUI
fragst And among the suragists of the best
people in the world
In this hearing before the Legislature the advocates
OF woman suffrage plainly said that the majority of
do not desire to The dear, sweet home women
who give the world its comfort and its inspirations feel
that it is best for them to train up their and nu-
their husbands for the ruder work of life. They do
not wish in addition to the of the home to assume
also the work Of government in its details
The suffrage movement therefore, is movement to
make these women discontinued The suragsts purpose
to agtate. They wish to stir up to be dissatisfied
with home and children and love- and to make them de-
sire something else They propose to give up nluenc-
ing men, and vote them down!
There are sad to say, good many men and women
who not in families. And it is chiefly these women
and married women who are unhappy who agtate for
suffrage.
All true men feel especially tender and solictous for
such unhappy women. Many Improvements in the laws
have been made for their benefit and others will
fast they be wisely framed But to break up the
home and dissolve society into its elements-each

Will the Irish Fight
The fourth session Of the present
British Parliament was opened on
the 10Th by King George. This ses-
sion promises TO make history as
the outcome Of the Irish Home Rule
Bill.

their crowns and royal robes. rode

eight cream colored horses to the
House of Lords through great multi
tudcs of spectators. II was a pic
tureSquc scene as the King ascend
ed the throne surrounded by royalty
and members Of the nobility in their
state robes for the opening speech.
Referring to the Irish Home Rule
Bill, the King said:
II regret that the efforts which
have been made to arrive at a solu-
ton by agreement of the problems
connected with the government of
Ireland have SO far not succeeded.
In matter in which the hopes and
fears Of so many Of my subjects are
keenly concerned and which, unless
handled now with foresight and
Judgment, and in spirit OF mutual
concession, threatens grave future
difficulties, il is my most earnest
wish that the good will and cooper
alton of men of all parties and
crceds may heal the dissension and
lay the foundations Of lasting set
tlement.'
Immediately following the open
ing of Parliament. Mr.. Long spoke
in the House of Commons for the
Unionist party, asserting that before
the government adopted a measure
with reference to Ireland that
threatened civil war, il should con-
suit the country and submit the
measure to vote of the British peo-
pie.
Premier Asquith in reply stated
that the government would take the
initiative in suggesting a basis for
settlement of the difficulties that lay
in the way of acceptance Of the

that general agreement can be
much better concluded by parlia-
ment than by an appeal TO the
country.

Rioting in Japan.

The japanese house Of Parliament
in Toxic was assailed by a riotous
mob which was driven back only
after many people had been injured
in a conflict with the police. The
riots were caused by the intense
feeling in large bodies Of citizens
aroused by the disclosure of graft
on the part Of public officials. These
disclosures were made during the
course Of investigation into certain
naval scandals. The excitement in
Parliament eliminated in free
fight between the guards and the
friends Of a member whose expul-
sion was ordered by the Speaker.
