WHY SHOULDN'T WOMEN VOTE? q

The following day Asquith promised
to give facilities in the new Parliament
for proceeding with the suffrage bill.
There was another deputation of women
to urge that he should name a time;
1863 were arrested. The promise was
finally given that the bill should have
a week in 1912. This promise was not
kept.
But in the meantime the Lord Mayor
of Dublin appeared before the House of
Commons to plead with the Govern
ment on behalf Of the women. The
County Council Of London to the num-
Der Of over hundred also called upon
the Government to deal fairly with the
suffrage bill The women themselves
held over 10000 meetings in one year
and funds were subscribed to the
amount OF 100000. The Prime Min
lister. although he finally received one
deputation, remained evasive and would
set no definite time for consideration of
the bill
The women as A protest, on November
81, 1911, smashed many windows; 220
women were arrested on this occasion.
BY spring still nothing had been done

fences of hard labor were pronounced
on these women for the window
breaking.
For the seventh time the promised
facilities for the suffrage bill were re-
fused. The women pointed to the min
imum wage measure which. in contrast
to their bill, had been forced through
the House Of Commons in n few days.
This Is the way the militant move
ment In England has grown. First the
women questioned from the floor in po-
litical meetings. Then they attempted
after each disappointment or betrayal to
petition the Prime Minister and were
roughly handled by the police, arrested
and Imprisoned. During the first years
no one had suffered but themselves. but
they had endured much through the
brutality Of the police, the conditions OF

The first act OF destruction took place
a little later. The thirteenth deputa-

petitions were wrapped. When they.
as usual. were intercepted and could
not reach the Prime Minister with their
petitions, they threw the stones into

At the death OF King Edward, in
1910, the Cancellation bill which pro-
posed to give votes to women with
property was accepted reluctantly by
the suffragists in place of the more lib
eral womens franchise bill because
they were assured 1t would pass the
House In that session. 1t passed the
first and second readings by n majority
Of all parties. All militant acts ceased.
The suffrage societies organized an enor-
nous and beautiful procession which
marched, thousands strong, through
London. Memorials were signed by the
most eminent people. At countless
meetings resolutions were passed and
sent to the Prime Minister. Mr.. Asuuith.
But again the women were betrayed.
Again the Government refused to give
time to proceed with the measure and
again a woman suffrage bill was lost
through the juggling of parliamentary
procedure"
The sentiment throughout the coun-
try seemed strong for the bill. The
popularity elected civic corporations of

loway jail This was the first of many
similar occurrences.
The women considered they were on
sure ground in seeking TO petition the
King through his Prime Minister. They
cited the Bill of Rights of William and
Mary which says at Is the right Of
the subject to petition the King and all
commitments and prosecutions for such
petitions are Illegal" But for attempt
ing 80 to petition they had been i'm
prisoned The Lord Chief Justice ruled
that the right to petition undoubtedly
exists, but that the Kings representa-
tive is not obliged TO receive the petit
ton"
a woman suffrage bill was introduced
in 1907 as a private members measure
by MIR. Dickinson. It was talked out"
by n Liberal member, and came to Moth
ing. A deputation Of women led by
Lady Harberton started in protest with
a petition to the Prime Minister This
deputation met the same fate as the
previous one; 1873 women were sent to
prison.
In 1908 another woman's franchise
bill came to second reading in the
House OF Commons, when II scored a
majority OF 179. but It then became en-
tangled In parliamentary procedure"
The Prime Minister has the power to
refuse to give time" to any bill. He
denied all facilities for enabling Parlia-
ment to proceed with this measure.
The women then decided on another
deputation. This time they distributed
handbills calling on the public to help
them rush the House of Commons
The leaders were arrested before the
evening set. but the deputation pro-
ceeded: the police broke their ranks

to-day than that the militants
OF England are doing harm to the cause

Concerning the beautiful Florentine
cassone recently acquired by the Met

writes that variety of types of the
fifteenth and early sixteenth century
cassoni of the Italian Renaissance has
been represented in the ten specimens
hitherto in the museum collections: the
early Florentine chest. with straight
walls, without color and with no decora-
ton except fine classical mouldings;
the Venetian type, with stucco decora-
ton and gliding. and another similar
one with added sgrafiito ornaments: the
Ccrtoslna chest with intarsia: several
cassoni with carvings all over and
partly covered with stucco ornaments
from Siena, from the Marken, Umbria,
Bologna and Venice. one Of the most
important types has, however, been I'M
representative one with painted
panels. Early specimens of this class
are rare: most generally the panels
have been taken out and sold sepa-
rately. because very often they were

In the Grammar room grades and department showed such an improvement that we cannot print the names of the honor pu- pills this month because of lack of room. The highest grades for the month were made by Minnie Howard of the NIneth grade.

These are brights pupils and wbile the teacher and schoolmates regret to lose them, they wish them suc- cess and happiness in their new home. A letter from Sylvia states they have entered school at Wick ensburg.
 A severe attack of sore throat has kept Lynn Despair from school this week.
 Warren Brinkerhoff has quit school and taking up farming on his farm near Woodruff. If War ren makes as successful a farmer as he did a student he will be sure to make good. We hate to lose Warren as he was one of our most promising High school stu dents.

Lumber Company Pays
 State Claim in Full

Although maintaining that it
 could not be held liable under the law, the Arizona Lumber and Timber company, of Flagstaff.
 has paid over to the land com mission the full amount of the state's claim for timber cut in running logging roads over uni versity lands in Cocouino county.
 The commissions claim. a. mounting to $121O.88, was made after a carefal Survey of the en- tire right of way cleared by the company for logging purposes had been made by the state. and covered all timber removed for this purpose since operations were begun many years ago. Practically all of the trees cut were felIed by the present com pany's predecessors. and the company held that as these opera tions had tsken place before state control, it could not be compelled to pay the state for timber with interfered with work on govern ment land.
 On a basis of moral obligation, however, T. A. Riordan, presi- dent ot the company. considered that the state should be reimburs- ed in full for the timber which had been cut and for thls decided to pay the full amount of the claim without waiting for action to be brought in the courts.
 ''Our relations with this com pany always have been very satis- factory" said Chairman Mulford Wlnsor of the land commission, in speaking of the settlement, and the payment of this claim as another indication of their honorable methods of doing business.
