President suffrasist at Heart?

Conversational Union SunraglSts
Tuesday called on the President and
made the occasion Of presenting mem
orials on the death of Mrs. Inez Mil
holland Boissevain, an opportunity 10
renew their pleas for support or the
suffrage amendment. Mr.. Wilson was
surprised: he had not been told that
thew were to appeal to him, and he said
so, and that he was not prepared 10
change previous replies. He said:
II do not need to tell you where my
own convictions and my own personal
purpose lie, and / need not tell you py
what circumstances I am bound as
the leader Of a party. AS the leader or
| a nartv nv commands come from the
party and not from private personal
convictions. My personal action as
citizen. of course, comes from no
source but my own convictions. and,
therefore my position has been SO ire
ouently defined, and hope so candldly
defined. and it is so impossible Tor me-
until the orders Of my party are
changed, to do anything other than
am doing as a party leader, that l
think nothing more is necessary to be
said.
II do not want to say this: I do not
see how anybody can fail to observe
from the utterances Of the last cam
paign that the Democratic party is
more inclined than the opposition party
to assist in this great cause. and it has
been a matter Of surprise to me and a
matter of very deep regret that so
many of those who were heart and
soul for this cause seemed so greatly
to misunderstood and misinterpret the
attitude of parties"
From the Presidents own lips we
learn that the Democratic party is SUI
fragist at heart-but not working at it,;
that he is for equal suffrage but is re-
strained by his party from doing any
thing; and that 1.-The Democratic party
is more inclined than the opposition to
assist in the great cause"
1 Say, ladies, don't those Democratic
leaders" have a queer way of show
ing their loyalty to a cause?

Pieketins the White House

Washington, Jan. 10-The White
House has been picketed before, but
never until today by hostile suffragists
IL was placed in the beleaguered state
this morning under the new silent SEN
tinel' campaign. begun by the Congress
sional Union for Woman Suffrage as an
outgrowth of the failure of President
Wilson to declare in favor of the pro-
posed federal suffrage amendme 1T when
he received delegation of 300 suffragist
leaders at the White House yesterday.
The first guard mount of the silent
suffrage sentinels marched across his
toric Lafayette square a few minutes
before 3 O'Clock this morning. under
command of Miss Mabel Vernon. The
detail consisted of six young ladies. The
sergeant Of the guard was Miss Mary
Gertrude Fendall of Baltimore.
Twentyfour suffragists, besides the
officer of the day and the sergeant of the
guard, were utilized for the debut of the
silent sentinels. Twelve were on picket
duty this morning and the others this
afternoon. Six were stationed at each OF
the two main gateways. Two banners
= at each gate were of yellow bunting, in
scribed with the words: MIR. President,
what will you do for woman suffrage?'
News Dispatch.
The president of the Maine Woman
Suffrage Associs ton. Mrs. Arthur T.
Balentine, promptly asked that the
following be given publicity:
: 1.-THE group of suffragists who have
used militant tactics in regard to the
President are in no way affiliated with
the National Women's Suffrage Asso-
citation, Of which our Maine Associa-
ton is a branch"
Sincere friends of the equal suffrage
cause regret that any organization
working for that cause has seen fit to
adopt measures of even mild mlit
ancy' in attempt to promote the cause
The silent sentinel move is a new
policy by the congressional Union for
Woman Suffrage" and is, we believe, a
mistaken one. We fear ii will cost
respect and friendship now held for the
cause, We are convinced that milit-
ancy in England made many strong
enemies and few if any friends. And
interested observation, that the suf-
frage cause in England has made ad-
Nances beyond estimate by sudden
change from miltancy at the outbreak
CT the war to loyal support of the gov
eminent.
Annoying the President, who has
troubles of his own" can hardly in
crease the support among genuine
Americans of either sex. 1t is a great
ard worthy cause but the President is
serving all the people and he must
daily give his mind and heart to other
important problems. We believe we
voice the great majority of woman suf-
fragists the country over in express
ing our regret at the picketing of the
White House, and the hope that it will
be promptly abandoned on advice of
friends of the cause. 1t is not the spir-
1t of American womanhood, nor has
the splendid progress of the last few
years been accomplished by such meth
DDS. Rather, let us remember have
the strides of equal suffrage been made
out OF the purity of woman's purpose
and manhood's recognition of its MS
tice.

present Mr.. Powick's suggestion seems
of greater interest as evidence of his
