For those who have watched the
progress of the fight in this coun-
try for equal suffrage, whether
with friendly or unfriendly eyes,
there will be much of interest in
an account, written on the spot, of
the successful elimination Of the
same contest in England where
after the suspension of the mill
tant tactics ut was given chance
to develop" as one writer put it,
during a time when there was a
world wide tendency to the widest
conception of democracy. The vote
which ended the struggle was TAX

20, and the following report Of the
sitting is taken from the London

practiced after the cutting. season.
In many sections the asparagus
plants are cut down as soon as the
berries turn red, and after drying sui
ficiently they are burned to destroy
any disease germs or insects that may
be present, In regions where severe
freezes occur it is doubtful whether
the cutting and burning Of asparagus
tops is advisable. The old tops hold
the snow and prevent deep freezing and
the blowing of soil. Some growers
thoroughly harrow the bed after the
tops are removed, others throw slight
ridge over the row, but ridging is not
necessary unless there is danger of in
jury by severe freezing during the win
ter. Where land is inclined to wash
cultivating and ridging in the fall are
Objectionable.

ed by the franchise. The second ro-
nance, from the anti-suffragist point
OF view, would be styled How Moth
er Voted: or the Ruined Home" In
this case the wear and tear of the
franchise would drive the woman
into an inebriates' home, where she
would only be able to give an absent
vote. Lord Hugh Cecil regarded
these extreme views as profoundly in
accurate, and cast in his lot with the
supporters of woman suffrage.
A Candid Minister
Sir r, E. Smith was the first Min
lister to speak, and he was unusually
candid. He confessed that the physi-
cal force" argument, on which he had
hitherto relied in his opposition to
the change, ha dbeen broken down by
the war But he had much more
practical consideration to urge for
conversion to woman suffrage. He
felt that, whether he opposed it or
not, women were going to get the
vote. Members laughed at this frank
profession. He laid stress on his &C
ceptance Of the Recommendation of
the Speakers Conference as whole,
and limited that thtre might be trou-
BILE If proportional representation was
not restored.
The current was now running
strongly in the direction Of woman
suffrage Sir John Simon, in a,grace-
full speech, agreed that the physical
force" argument had gone. AS for
the war argument. he repudiated, on
behalf Of women who sought the
vote, any claim to a reward for the
work they had done in the last three
years. What was plain was that the
industrial problem would be more
than before women's problem, and
the solution could not in Justice be
attempted by Parliament with an
exclusive male electorate.
Towards the end of the debate two
Ministers supported the change. Sir
Alfred Mond insisted on the futility
of dividing up nations into men and
women. Nations, he said, we're com
posed of citizens, and, without the CO.
operation Of its women citizens, a
country was helpless. Lord Robert
Cecil took a similar line. 1t was his
conviction that woman suffrage would
make both for good government and
the commitment Of the people with
Government. 1t was impossible. he
declared, to perpetuate system un-
der which half the population had nc
representation In the House OF Com.
mons.
AS the time for the division ap.
preached, in a quickly filling House
} for the anti-suffragists. He argued
the case for referendum denied
that the war had caused his party tt
collapse, and expressed the belief
that the overwhelming sentiment II
the Army was against the change.
At the end Of Mr.. Wards speech
; powerful snort which made a con
siderable impression on the House
the closure was applied, and Sill
Frederick Banbury's amendment was
heavily defeated.

Ethan Allen Again

BUTTE, Mont, July 14.-Ethan Al

Ethan Allen Of Fort TiconderOga fame,
was accepted for enlistment In the Uni
ted States Marine Corps here, today.
He has ben principal Of a school in
this state for the last three years, and
has also taught in Ohio and North Da-
kota.
Aliens enlistment recalls the early
days of American history when Fort
Ticondeoga was held in turn by the
French and BTitish until finally cap.
tured by his illustrious grandslre in
1775. It is another reminder Of the
wiping out Of old differences between
nations, happily now serving together
