No Suffrage Armageddon.

In spite Of the sharp fighting which
preceded the election OF Officers.
there Is to be no Armageddon for the
Pennsylvania Woman Suffrage
Association. There was talk of
secession II the SLATE" was damned
through" and there were many pro-
tests, which sounded strangely like
the echoes Of a certain convention
in Chicago. But the Illuminating
lightning Of rhetoric has given way
to good sense. and there will be no
split.
The very fact that the women in
the organization fight so bitterly for
their idealsand are able to unite so
firmly in their struggle outside their
own group. indicates in a measure
how vital the ballot has become to
them. They care nightly about the
suffrage party and about every part
OF the suffrage party only because
they care more for what suffrage
will mean to the State.-Philadelphia

Suffrage Rivalries.

There is a sign OF health in the
vigorous rivalries for leadership
which have developed among dele
gates to the State suffrage conven-
ton. They indicate that the women
most active in striving to obtain
the ballot for their sex are not led
and controlled by a single group OF
ideas or leaders.
Prior to the last election the ques-
ton of woman's suffrage was dis
tinctly academic in Pennsylvania. It
represented an ancient argument
Then came the test of sentiment at
the polls, and the revelation Of un-
expected strength In favor or ad-
mittinG women to full partnership in
the control of government.
it cannot be said with assurance
that this result added to the number
Of women who yearn to exercise the
ballot. But among those already
persuaded 1t unquestionably awak.
ened greater anxiety for places or
leadership Mistaken or justified, the
belief prevails among the suffrag1sts
that victory will crown their efforts
IN this State within reasonably
wish to occupy places Of prominence
and authority in winning organizs-
tion.
Despite the fact that Philadelphia,
almost single-handed, repelled the
suffrage hosts in November. the peo-
pie of this city feel keen interest
In the current convention OF women

termine whether suffrage shall be
granted or worse beaten when 1t

Concerning the Vague Value of
 Perfectly Consistent Action
By DOLLY DALRYMPLE
F we were all perfectly consistent, what a prosy old uninteresting world thls

N F we were all perfectly consistent, what a prosy old uninteresting world thls A would be after all. It is one of the most delightful sur prises in life to find people protesting one thing and doing another when the
 matter in hand is not of any special i'm portance.
 We all have certain things in mind that we feel perfectly sure we are going to do. and then without any explanation what soever we turn round and do something entirely different.
 A father may wish his son to become a doctor. and may speak openly of his in- tention of having him educated for that profession, and then the very next thing We hear is that the young man has en- tered upon a mercantile career.
 If anybody should happen to mention the change to the adoring parent, he would promptly say that such a good opening presented itself for his boy in the boot and shoe trade that it would have looked like flying in the face of Provi- dence to have declined it.
 Perhaps mother has an intense de- sire to see Ter QduSnteT trdlHeu SS u teacher, and we find her at college work ing like a beaver.
 The very next move. however, we are told, is in an entirely different direction for the girl has become a milliner declar- ing that she has always had much more talent for tying bows than teaching the young idea.
 I have in mind a family who for years talked about buying an automobile.
 They talked and they talked; they tried every machine that was ever heard of; priced them and rode in them, and finally it all wound up by the son buying mo- torcycle, and the rest of the family con tinuing to walk as they had always done. Sometimes you hear your friends dis eussing the subject of going to the coun- try to live. The particular family wants to get out where the children can roam about unmolested, where they can raise and really live.'
 When you meet your friends some months later your natural salutation is:
 How do you like the country?" when To! and behold! you are told that after all they didn't buy the place they had ill view, and are still living at the same old place in the city.
 Women are not the only people who change their minds, although the weak ness is more often laid at the door of femininity.
 All human beings, except those born with a determined opinion of their own. like Kaiser Bill and Mrs. Pankhurst, are likely to be swayed by the mind of public opinion
 Consistency may be jewel, as Mir. Shakespeare long ago declared. but life would indeed be dull and monotonous if we never changed our minds.
