HAVE LOST SYMPATHY.

Tho British militant sunragcttes
have been iudulging in another ioyou,
spasm of hysteria. the most spectacu-
! lar Of their exciting history. COM
mCnts the Detroit Free Press. They
have fought battle with the police
under the very eye of the king; they
have created riot i'm court and have
thrown missiles at the Judge: they
have committed wholesale vandalism
in the ART galleries with an enthusi-
asm that would have delighted the
souls of the medieval iconocIasts;
they have burned buildings: they
have shot or bombs; they have hurl-
ed insulting cpithets at the king i'm
a public place. And London general
~ has looked upon with a disguised
tolerance except as some portion Of
it has been disconnected.
As the militauts i'm Great Britain
have become more and more cxtrava-
giant iu their methods they have lost
the sympathy of their friends. They
have incurred the disapproval Of the
non-miiitant and constructive suffra-
9ists Of their own land and of all 9TH
or LANDS. This disapproval is very
strong among the sunragists of the
United states who feel that the mill
@nts have done their cause serious

sympathy the Pankhursts have
grown more and more extreme in their
methods and have relapsed more and

gauge of their present status as

SUPREME COURT JUSTICES
WORK HARD, SAYS KUHN
FlVE-HOUR SESSION ON BENCH
ONLY PART OF DUTY,
HE DECLARES.

Detroit, May 27.-"Any one who
thinks that the justices of the Michi-
| gan supreme court are through work
when they finish the five hours session
on the bench, is greatly mistaken.
said Justice Franz &. Kuhn, before the
mems class of the First Congregational
church.
That is only Il small part of their
duties. Each morning the judges hold
an hours consultation, i'm which they
run over the main facts of the cases
10 be heard, and each afternoon they
meet again and go i'm detail over all
be cases which have been argued. II
is now required that all the justices
shall sit on each case. After this, the
opinions must be written, the work be-
ing divided among the members of the
bench. In some states it is not now
required that opinions should be writ
ten where all the justices of the SUI
pcriOr court concur, but Michigan has
not come to this point yet. AS "A re-
suit the members Of the supreme bench
do "a large amount more work than the
ordinary person realizes.
1T has been urged strongly that the
congestion of business I'm the supreme
court could be relieved greatly If u
limit should be placed on the right Of
appeal which is now almost bound
less. There was one long fought APP
peal on "A suit over 81; another over
s.; another over $47 and another over
"a dog. Many good authorities think
there should be no right of appeal on
matters involving less than $500, eX-
cept by special permission Of the SUI
preme court. IL principle was in
volved which 1t would be to the public
good TO test, an appeal could be allow

Justice Kuhn gave Interesting
sketches of the general characteristics
and training of each OF his associates.
