Suffrage Writer Tells of Struggle Women
Are Making Throughout World for
the Ballot.
By. IDA HUSTED HARPER.

If John Redmond doesn't look out-NIrs.
Humphrey Ward will get her Parliament first.
Had that talented lady stuck to novel writing
she would still be a very popular woman in
Great Britain and the United States, but she
chose instead to put herself at the head of the
anti-suffrage forces, and now she is trying to
do something to save her face Her latest plan
for this purpose is to organize sort of near
parliament of women which shall meet at inter-
walls in the House of Commons and brace up its
members with advice and things. The details
are not vet worked out, but it is to be kind

but he is not to monopoize all the glory, for
there is to be woman deputy chairman, and
of course Mrs. Ward will be ii"
The thing about woman suffrage that scares
a BritiSher worst is that there might be woman
in Parliament And here it is proposed that
there shall be whole committee of them. True,
they could be kept somewhere in a room by
themselves-and yet members of the Commons
would have to sit with them when the committee
was in session, and whatever danger there was
for the men or the women would be lurking
around somewhere. There are to be ten women,
but though the scheme has been quietly pushed
forward all winter" only half of them have
thus far been secured, although twenty-five
Commoners have expressed themselves as will
ing and anxious The reason the women seem
TO be scarce is probably because for the sake
of securing true cooperation on urgent matters
of social reform woman suffrage must be ex-
cluded from the debates and action of the COM
mittee" 1t is too much like trying to get jury
of men in big criminal case that has filled the

newspapers for weeks, who have formed no
opinion on it.
When this great scheme was first broached,
the suffragists over there shrieked with unholy
mirth, for Mrs. Ward has made the base Of her
strenuous opposition to giving the Parliamentary
vote to women that it was utterly impossible for
them to comprehend national questions Queen
Victoria and few others could, but not the
average woman. 1t was all right for her to
have the municipal franchise, because she al
ready had it and it couldn't very easily be taken
away; and she ought to serve as mayor and
member of the city council and sit on all kinds
of boards because her mind was equal to this,
but never should she aspire to vote for a man
to represent her in the House of Commons, be-
cause that required masculine intellect But
an extingusher was soCn clapped on the glce OF
the suffragistS when it was announced that this
Woman's Parliament would only venture to adj
wise the lawmakers in matters concerning the
welfare of women and children! They could not
deal with more than two or three subjects dur
ing a session-the feminine mind has its linita
tons-and this session they will take up play
grounds and school clinics. Later they may
help enforce the insurance act, which would be
a relief to the Liberal party-but it may be past
caring bv then.

Ulster Uprising Like Militantism.

There is much in the political situation in
Great Britain at the present time that sheds
light on that strange outbreak among the
women known as militant suffragis,n." The
whole affair of Ulster, fomented and led by
leading members of Parliament: armed rebel
lion against the government, mutny among the
heads OF the army, refusal to accept an act of
Parliament all this is but the protest of the
"sufragettes' on an immense >cae, the ten
dency of the British to resort to physical force.
The whole country is in state of social up
heaval which is the beginning of tremendous
struggle of democracy against aristocracy, and
the demand of women for voice in the gov
ernment, to be backed by force if necessary, is
but one phase of this struggle. Toryism has
made its last stand, and while the Liberals are
giving battle, the suffragists fighting against

Ulsterites are like the nti-suffragists-they
don't want home rule for themselves and are
determined that those who do want it shall not
have it. IL.
The papers recently have announced that the
militant brarch of the suffragists have decided
to finance the campaign of the labor candidates
at the coming elections Before that they told
of the breaking up of mass meeting of the
Labor party by the "suffragettes' while its
chairman, ]. Ramsey Mcdonald, was speaking,
and to many these statements seem contradic-
tory. The Labor party is unequivocally in favor
of woman suffrage ard its members in Parla-
nlcnt have been instructed by its annual con-
ventionS to vote against every measure for ex-
tending the franchise which does not include
women The constitutional suffragists have
gladly accepted this alliance, but the ''suffra-
gettes" have rejected it and demanded that the
Labor members shall vote against all govern
ment bills for every purpose until it gives the
franchise to women. They have refused to do
this because they were very dcSirous for the
lords veto bill, home rule, anl Welsh disestab-
lishment the three great government measures,
which it could not carry without their help.
Now that these measures are likely soon to be
secured the 'suffragettes" apparently are going

future action, as the other branch of the move

these Sunday musicales and the appre- by liberal patronage of the excellent attractions they are selecting.
 Mrs Sharp ex-president of the Music Study club, and Mrs. J. E. Frazier as vice president during Mrs. Sharp's administration, are both well equipped in
 musical affairs, as they have been in & position to sound the pulse of the people,
 so to speak, and they have chosen their artists in accord.
 In speaking with these two charming
 women yesterday about the musicales
 they said:
 ''The constant demand upon us-the demand from the public school teach ers-from students of music-from music teachers-in fact from every class to arrange a series of Sunday musicales has been so insistent and so earnest for some time that we at last decided to make the venture and this season took it up. You see the teachers can't attend the Music Study club meet ings; many music teachers cannot do so, and many students are deprived of the advantages offered by the club. Al
 night many are kept away from musi- cal affairs because they have no es- lcorts-few men being interested in music, and the consequence is they hear no good music-in fact they don't hear any music at all. The Sunday musicales | will appeal very largely to this class especially. and 1t Is a splendid oppor- tunity also for the men to enjoy the music. The tired business man doesn't care to go out at night after a hard days work, but he would enjoy a beau tiful programme of music on Sunday afternoon"
