GEORGE MEREDITH
FOR MILITANCY
Novelist Said: Knock Ideas
in John Bulls Head; It's
the Only Way"
WHAT HAPPENED In 1913
Mrs. Clara Bewick Colby Tells Of the
Eventful Scenes which Marked the
Suffrage Movement in England.
NO. XIII.
by CLARA BEWICK COLBY.

No one better understood British char
acter than the eminent novelist. George
Meredith. and he knew that for women
to overcome the age-long prejudice and
obstinancy Of his countrymen would be
no easy task. II is a great compliment
to the American man that people abroad
generally believe American women are
having an easy task in securing their
rights.
In an interview with Witter Bynner. OF
the United States. in 1902, Mr. Meredith
said: Your wonderful women have the
way of opening before them, the Ameri-
can head being receptive of ideas With
our women the way will be different,
harder, longer, unless they learn there is
no peaceable manner possible for the in
PRODUCTION of ideas into John Bulls
head. The only way to send ideas into
John Bulls head is to knock them in
This was more than four years before
the militant movement began.
The year 1913 was crowded with event
full scenes. II opened with the introduc-
ton of Mr.. Asquith's pet measure, the
adult franchise BILL which, with the
usual carelessness of men in using GEN
eric terms. did not have any reference
to women. But the premier had prom
ised that amendments might be intro
duced which would include women. As
soon as the bill was in the amending
stage such an amendment was introduced
when the Speaker announced that there
was no precedent for II, as il was not
indicated in the title of the bill, which
was not nominally bill for the extern
sion of the franchise, but a bill TO abolish
plural voting and the reform of registra-
ton.
But this killed the adult suffrage propo-
sition also, so that it was like Samson,
who. in his death, brought down the
house upon his foes. But what could be
thought of premier who did not know
that his bill was not regular in form and
that he could not buy il keep his solemn
promise to the women to introduce a bill
70 which woman suffrage amendments
might be added? And what could he
thought of the Speaker making such a
ruling with the evident purpose Of stay-
ing OF suffrage from women, when for
eighteen months he had known of the
prime minister's promise that the fran
chise bill should be so drafted as to per-
NIT Of such an amendment, and had lis
tened to the speeches on the second read
ing of the bill which were devoted largely
to the inclusion OF women under IL? A.
Mr.. Philip snowden said, the situation
was really so comical as to be unthink-
able.
The spirit with which this was re-
