Do you cling to tradition and the belief

The mule should be treated kindly when
he is being broken in. Do not speak to
him harshly or frightcn him. Do not shout
at him. Do not jerk his head or his mouth
and under no conditions strike him. Pre-
pare to handle him the same as you would

The mule is really more timid and sensi-

Camels, Mules and Kindness

Not only have the ingenious tortures which
were supposed to put elan vital and the
will to advance into mules soul been pro-
hibited. Even swearing and hard Ian
guage have been banned. Speak kindly to
your mule; persuade him; be meek That
is the new system promulgated by Wash
lngton to the mule drivers of the army.
AS for the camel, he is doing very COM

of Tommles who treat him as they would

Suffrage Assured of Victory

There can be little surprise at the re-
port from Washington that the Anthony
amendment is assured of the necessary
two-thirds vote in the Senate. Surprise
would be in order if any other decision
were possible. Our Senate is properly a
conservative and deliberate Body. But
not even the most trusting anti-suffragist
can expect it to lag very far behind the
Democratic and Republican national com.
mittees, the President of the United
States and the House of Lords.
1t is now too late for this country to
cvertake England in the matter of woman
suffrage. Of all the amazing revolutions
in thought which the war has wrought
none surpasses the shift in English atti-
tude toward women. In the final debate
in the House of Lords Lord Selborne
faintest indication of protest against the
proposal from the country as a whole,
and expressed the opinion that in the
whole course Of his political experience
no measure had ever been stamped with
such unanimous national approval.
Ollly VIC pliliu CdIl Adll w SIC uU w
rapidly a similar shift in American opin-
ion is taking place. We are behind Eng
land in our war work, in the changes
which war inevitably produces in social
structure, and we are naturally learning
the suffrage lesson a shade later. Yet,
though our national enfranchisement of
women must wait upon more cumbrous
constitutional machinery than in Eng
land, we can at least have the satisfac-
ton of knowing that in a large portion
of the nation, including our own New
York, women came into their own before
their English sisters. And when Congress
has spoken the measure will look toward
complete equality between the sexes, not
merely partial enfranchisement of
women, those over thirty years of age
as the British reform bill provides.
