If we did not spend much time in trying to
disagree if we did not torment ourselves with the
il-feeling that accompanies the will to disagree we
should learn very much more than learn now, and
we should be surprised at the strange improvement
in the people and in the world about IS.
We should find that, through persistent sef-as-
sertion instead of gaining we lost.
We should discover that through resisting the
desire to disagree through giving people as good a
chance to express themselves long to give our
selves we should exert far greater influence than
we do now. and should be heard oftener and with
more profit

American women suffragists may find it neces-
sary to warn Cristobel Pankhurst and her followers
now in New York, against practicing any of the
methods of their militant British campaign, which
only result in injury to the cause in this country Al
ready one of the Pankhurst band has found herself
in trouble with the police because she chalked notice
of suffrage meeting the sidewalks Possibly the
English agtators cannot be happy unless they are
odds with the police, which may explain why they
have come to New York while the truce is on in
Londcn; but those American women who have
achieved so much for the suffrage cause in this
try by dignihed and peaceful methods should see to
il that their work is not undone by visitors who seek
progress only through disorder.

come from deep seated impulse.
Obviously. it is related to the passion for self

In the habitual denying OF the opinions OF others

There are those who seem to be born with the in
stinct to disagree have in mind at this moment one
such person. i have heard him express emphatically
certain opinion and then, perhaps a day or two
later, | have heard him denounce the same opinion
expressed in his presence by some one else.
Somtimes, of course. this kind OF thing is done by
those who love argument for the sake of the in
telectua exercise But in this instance it was due
to the love of disagreeing.

Since that time l have seen many expressions OF
this desire not only in families but among employers
and employed, among friends, even among mere
acuuaintances. Where it is openly expressed 1t may
lead to violent language and TO quarrelng' perhaps
to blows Where it is insidiousy betrayed it creates
bitterness for the time hidden, revealed only IN
continued expression of the desire to disagree.
All through our life runs this undercurrent Of
b;tternsss 1t poisons the minds OF individuals. 1t
noisons the public consciousness. Directly and in
