4 Weak Surrender.

The right of petition Is sacred
right OF a democracy. and we have
always had sympathy with those
English women who demanded and
have been refused n hearing by Pre-
mier Asquith. II had seemed to us
that audience should have been
granted in the beginning. Only harm
can come. however OF Asquith's final
consent under pressure. BY surren-
dering TO threats and rioting and
arson he has given encouragement to
the suffragettos and TO other crimi-
mails. Either he should have granted
audience when first asked or denied

out.

want now only permission from the
other clubs of the Virginia League
to depart in peace, and this permits

curing, for have not those clubs
maintained that more money can be
brought into their Golfers by play

playing here? Have they not adopted
an equitable" schedule. whereby
Saturday games are to be played in
Norfolk. or Petersburg or anywhere
rather than in Richmond, and do
they not argue that financial gains
result from the operation OF this
policy? Now that they are offered
chance to have all Saturday games
played elsewhere, their own line of
reasoning will suggest TO them the
advisability of taking advantage OF

Diplomatic CnrecrS.

The Senate will TO we'll TO stand
pat upon It's position In voting to
place on the civil service list the
commercial attaches to our embas-
sizes and legations. These posts have
only recently been created. They
may be OF tremendous importance to
the nation. II would be hardly short
OF Il calamity If they were permitted
to fall into the devastating turmoil
of the spoils system.
As matter of fact, The Times
Dispatch would like to see the civil
service principle extended TO many
other phases of our foreign service.
II may be impractical. under our
party system, 10 place the highest
diplomatic positions in the classified
service. But tho lesser ones. such
rs diplomatic and commercial Mt
tachcs. should thus be lifted above
the insecurity and vicissitudes of
politics.
AS II is now, the poor hut ambi-
tious young man who contemplate s
diplomatic career Is at a hopeless
disadvantage. He has little or no
surety that he will not be detached
or denoted without reason. sacri-
ticing the results of years Of work
and planning. The system is also
vicious, In that 1t depriyes the ma
ton of the services of seasoned men.
Other countries handle the prob
lem with more sense and science.
Young men arc encouraged to enter
the diplomatic field. Once within,
their progress is determined only by
their ability. While personal poll
tics is not absent from the foreign
Offices of other nations, II is not as
mischievously influential as in our
own. Happily, both Congress and
the President show tendency TO
minimize the undoubted evil.

In this active life few people stop

That rest does not mean simply re-

and efrectually one should remain In

Many women take such rcstful occa-
