Let tho Army Handle Them

TT may be as tiresome to read about the
1 sufragette brois and riots before the White
House gates as it is to write about them
but the condition created by the group OF
"willful women who go ahead day by day
naggng tho President has become too serious
matter to be ignored. That it is the most
disgraceful domestic incident OF tho whole
war, even the real American women who want
the vote have agreed.
At first the Silent picketing" of the execu-
tive mansion was merely child's play. Then
IL developed into horseplay. But now since
1t results in the assembling of mobs every
afternoon, the manhandling of women, the
rioting OF unrestratned men. some Of them
in the uniform OF the American army and
navy, it has become intolerable The Wash
ington police have done nothing to stop il
II IS assumed that they are in sympathy with
the rioters. We know that they remain at
safe distances while the banners are being
torn down, the banner-hold are being at
tacEed and the streets being blocked for
hours al time Such state of affairs can
not be excused on the mere plea that the
women are exhibiting seditious legends. This
IS sufficient provocaton. perhaps. for infu-
Rated men to storm against. They cannot
DC blamed Tor showing their resentment but
somebody IS TO blame for allowing the dis
crcditabe proceeding to continue day after
day. The women either have the right to
snow their banners or they have not If thew
, have the right, they should be protected
against mob violence. IL not. they should
| be driven from the streets or prevented from
taking their station before the White House
The suggestion has been made that the
whole affair be turned over to the army Let
hoidiers replace the police in guarding the
| PRESIDENT residence. From o'clock at
! night until o'clock In the morning soldiers
| with loaded rife now patrol the streets sur
rounding the executive mansion Why not
| double this guard and detail men from the
army TO form an all-day, as we'll as an ALL
| night, guard? We suspect the women would
thereby find an excuse for withdraw and

Nothing New.

(For The Times-Dispatch.)
The world of romance Is exhausted:
The realm of poetry done.
There is nothing new to say or do,
Nothing under the sun.
The writer's have written OF summer
Descanted on winter and sprlnk:
The singers have sung Of the flowers
We have gushed over everything.
No possible puns are left US.
No jokes but what are stale
AS loaf OF last weeks baking,
Or bottle of uncorked ale.
The work you are doing this minute.
Perhaps with your pattern hid.
No doubt in the by-gone ages
Old Pharaoh's grandmother did.
Our budget Of witty sayings,
Our bundle of speeches smart.
Somebody heard them long ago,
And knows them all by heart
II in our conversation
We something rare relate,
A disappointing voice will cry
Why l heard that from Kate.
A truly distressing condition
All honest folk are In;
We are bound to steal our ideas,
And that you know is sin.
The hre OF intellect seldom gives
A really original spark:
Tho very thought you are thinking
Requires quotation mark.
