e . "A Sidelight on Suffragettes"

A CURIOUS sidelight is
n thrown upon the history
OF suffragette violence in
England by the latest reports of
male rowdyism which have
reached this country.
From Liverpool comes the re-
port OF a meeting which to a per-
son unfamiliar with English life
is so amazing as to be almost
unbelievable. Anti vivisectionists.
that is to say, persons who believe
that further restrictions should be
placed by law upon surgical ex-
periments tried upon living ami
mails, had hired a hall and ad-
vertised a meeting for the advo-
cacy OF their views. This is how
the report begins:
Much interruption and disor-
der was created by a company of
medical and veterinary students
from Liverpool University. The
speakers were persistently inter
rupted by shouts and csterwaul-
ings. and toward the end of the
proceedings an old man, who was
in sympathy with the objects OF
the meeting. was struck by one
of the students. An exciting
scene ensued. several persons
rushing between the old man and
his assailant to prevent a renew
al of violence. Police prevent
ed further outbreaks OF violence"

Married Mans Love Is
a Curse to the Girl
Taking It.

Also, in many women, there is
a streak of mischievous cruelty.
1t gives them pleasure to think Of
how they are torturing some fat
and middle-aged wife with jeal-
ousy. and OF how she is cutting
down on the grocery bills to pay
for the champagne they are vast
ing.
But the chief fascination of the
married man is that he plays the
game of love with the sure hand
of a professional. The very fact
that he is married has made him
wise to the psychology OF woman,
and taught him a hundred little
ways to touch woman's imagi-
nation and emotion that the bach
elor does not know. He plays
with a girls heart as a cat does
with a mouse-and she has Just
as little chance Of escaping as the
mouse has, once she permits her
self TO get within his claws
The great majority of married
men who make love TO girls are

science or honor. To amusa them

The Woman Gives All,
and the Man Gives
Nothing.

All the odds are against her.
She is giving all, risking ALL while
the man risks nothing. He does
not even take the chances of a
bachelor on having to marry her
If he compromises her or being
sued for breach of promise if he
is faithless. His marriage certifi-
cate protects him from the con-
sequences of his wrongdoing and
leaves the girl to bear the burden
alone
1t is useless for her to claim
that he is more guilty than she,
because he has been a traitor TO
the wife that he had sworn at the
altar to be true to, while she Is
free to give her love where she
pleases. Society will draw it's
skirts away from the woman and
sneer at her with scorn, while it
digs the married Lothario in the
ribs, winks at him and tells him
that he's very devil of a fellow
among the girls.
The woman who chooses the
primrose path takes enough risk,
God knows, but she who elects to
tread it with a married man is
foredoomed to walk only upon
thorns. She does not have even
sporting chance at happiness,
That a married man should be
fascinating to an inexperienced
and silly girl is not surprising
For one thing he represents to
her forbidden fruit, and the very
knowledge that he belongs to an
other is a certain flllip to a fir
tation with him. 1t fills her with
a delicious sense of wickedness to
have clandestine meetings with
him and little dinners and sup
pers that IRE spiced by the
thought of what would happen if
his wife should suddenly walk

ing called here to advocate, say,
the eight-hour law for under

that some well-known woman is
called upon for a purely formal
statement from the platform.
What would be thought in our
Western world if hundreds of uni
versity students greeted the lady
with yells and catcalls and
howled her down?
The answer is that it can not be
supposed, because it could not
happen. There could not be found
a sufficient number of cads in all
the universities OF America.
But this is no new thing in the
life of Liverpool. Years ago a
great function had been arranged
by what is now the University OF
Liverpool. The guest OF honor
was Earl Spencer. He had filed
the most distinguished positions
under the Crown which a states
man may attain-all save one.
He was at various times First
Lord OF the Admiralty. Lord
President OF the Council and

Lieutenant OF Ireland.

THOPE that every girl in the
length and breadth of the
land has been reading the sad
and terrible story of Hazel Herd
man, who murdered the wife of
her lover and then took her own
miserable life, because the wife
would not get a divorce from her
husband and leave him free to
marry her.
The stark tragedy of such
story breaches a sermon more
powerful than any printed or ut
tered words upon the wickedness
and the folly of young women
carrying on love affairs with
married men.
Many girls indulge in these
shady romances. Many girls are
proud of their ability to attract
married men, and boast Of such
conquests. Let them all be warn
ed by the fate of this poor girl,
for in some degree every one of
them sooner or later will share in
the agony she suffered. for while
not every love affair with a mar
ried man ends in bloody murder,
every one ends in bleeding heart
for the woman.
The girl who permits herself to
a married man is not only a sin
ner, but she is fool, She is
playing a game in which the dice
are loaded

for none of these things. I have
never seen on a human face the
expression of more hopeless per-
picked amazement than the "red
earl" manifested when he re-
ceived the welcome of the stu
dents. Yells, bowls, shouts,
stamping, braying, broke in upon
his ears. For a few minutes he
withstood the onslaught. He
spoke briefly. The real speech he
came to make was never made.
The beginnings of militancy are
rooted in these English methods
OF disturbing public meetings. The
suffragettes began by doing moth

with yells, with kissing or with
oaths. but by questions, What

like. They were treated with
gross brutality. AS they con-
tinued their tactics at meetings
all over England the violence Of
the incensed supporters of the
meetings increased. Then women
were the victims. We sympathlzed

to prison we gloried in their
courage and devotion.

The Fire of Jealousy Can
Not Be Put Out
With Love.

And always, for the girl Who
falls IN love with a married man
is that terrible, frantic jealousy Of
the wife who bears his name, who
has a right to be at his side who
is recognized by society. No be-
lief that the man loves her the
better can ever quench this jeal-
ousy in the heart of the other
woman. 1t is canker that eats
into her very soul until it poisons
her spring of life and blights
every joy.
No happiness endures thai IS
built on the misery Of another
You can not sin without paying
the price! That is the moral that
the story of Hazel Herdmah
teaches to every girl who is fol-
lowing along the devious path she
trod.

A proposition was made to the boys in becoming members of the association by a friend who has offered to pay dollar towards their membership and the balance which will be a special offer of a dollar, will be paid weekly by the boys. This will entitle them to one night in the gymnasium and their regular social evening on Friday
