Policy Has Damagd Sueffrage
Cause in England—No Excuse
For It in United States.
By DR. CHARLES AKED.
SAN FRANCISCO, CAL., Sept. 11.
Dispatches from New York assert
that Mrs. Pankhurst has planned a
visit to America, and that arrange
ments are already made for meetings
to be addressed by her In the great
cities of the East and Middle West.
Tt Is asserted, perhaps with little
knowledge and less Judgment, that
Mrs. Pankhurst’s visit will be pro
ductive of wide results in the adop
tion of a policy of '‘militancy” by
American women.
It is to be hoped that these fore
casts are wrong. “Militancy,” as now
understood and practiced, has done
untold harm in England; has shocked
and gri/ed the best friends of woman
suffrage among men. and has done
apparently irreparable damage to
women themselves.
No Chance In America.
Nothing in the world can justify
the action of the Pankhurst family
and their followers. But they have
been driven into their irrationality of
crime by the more reasonless Irra
tionality and more criminal acts of
the Asquith cabinet. In America, be
tween the Pacific and the Atlantic,
there is not the shadow of a pre
tense that women are driven or are
likely to be driven out of the path of
orderly, sane and healthy methods
of advocating a noble cause.
I admired Mrs. Pankhurst and I
liked her daughter. Christabel. I have
opened my chuch to them in Liver
pool. I have preached sermons and
made speeches in defense of their
militant methods.
Women Driven to Crime.
I mention these things for the pur
pose of showing that mine is a sym
pathetic protest and not a hostile one.
They have been driven Into Irra
tionality and they have been driven
Into crime. And the guilt of the men
who have so driven them is worse
than theirs.
The late Prime Minister of Great
Britain. Sir Henry Campbell-Banner
man, told them to pester the Govern
ment. eH told them that his cabinet
was divided, and he advised them
to make themselves an irritant to
politicians. They did, and they were
treated with a brutality which passes
all belief. This phase of the story
has not been understood in America.
Started by “Heckling.”
It is the custom in England to
ask questions in political meetings.
The process is known as “heckling."
After Campbell-Bannerman's advice,
the women began to attend public
meetings, and they asked questions.
Their interruptions angered men;
they were thrown out of the meet
ings with violence; they were mauled
by blackguards.
They continued to go to meetings
and to interrupt. The violence grew.
Filthy scoundrels offered themselves
as “stewards.” for the opportunity it
gave them of committing Indecent as
saults upon women and girls in the
act of carrying them and bundling
them out of meetings.
Pastor Condemns Violence.
The women were prosecuted not
the men. They were charged with all
sorts of fancy offenses, such as as
saulting policemen, etc. Had they
paid the small fines imposed the world
would have heard no more of it. But
they refused to pay the fines, and
they went to Jail. Here they were
treated as the worst of criminals are
treated.
Women of refinement, university
women, girls among the sweetest and
most engaging of their sex, were
forced to strip, stand in a line of !
women as nude as themselves, street j
walkers, pickpockets, thieves and j
criminals of every kind, waiting for |
their bath, and go into the same bath
tub and the same water as these
women had been in.
Bring Reforms in Prison.
The prison system has been changed
since then, but it has been changed
because of the suffragettes, and
through the agitation of these women.
Then they resorted to violence. Here
I part company from them.
•‘Militancy” in England first meant j
a policy of “pestering.” recommended
by Sir eHnry Campbell-Bannerman
when the fir* minister of the Britisn
crown. It involved suffering. Aud
I defended the women. But Is there
need in America for even such “mili
tancy” as that?
“Militancy” in England now means
arson, train wrecking and murderous
assaults. If it is suggested that the
women of America should adopt it
as policy, I say that nothing can ex
cuse the irrationality of the sugges
tion and nothing can palliate its
crime.
Changed Whisky to
Vinegar in Evidence
MACON, Sept. 11.—When Murray Mr-
Lain, a bookkeeper, testified before the
Grand Jury he said he witnessed the sale
of liquor at J. P Devlin’s saloon. In
the trial of the case m the City Court.
MrLain swore that the liquid was vin
egar and that he was mistaken wber.
he said it was whisky,

chamberlain, of Oregon, Says
Mexican Crisis Shows U. S. Is
Unprepared for War,
WASHINGTON. Sept. 11.—Senator
George E. Chamberlain, of Oregon,
chairman of the Senate Committee on
Military Affairs, has come out flat-
footedly in favor of placing the army
on a better war fooling than is the
case at present.
“As long," says Senator Chamber
lain, “as we maintain the Monroe
Doctrine, retain the Philippines, con
trol the Panama Canal, and dominate
the Pacific, which is our manifest
destiny, we must have an army ade
quate to care for these conditions
and meet emergencies.
Trained Reserve His Plan.
"No one advocates a large standing
army In this country, but we ought
to have as a military organization an
army of efficient officers and drilled
men which can be augmented by
trained men from a reserve and sup
plemented by the National Guard of
the States.
"There L<rs been a great deal of
general discussion as to the neces
sity of better preparation for sudden
war emergencies, and there seems to
be quite a unanimous opinion that
at the present time our army is
wholly inadequate owing to the meth
ods that have been employed. 1 am
heartily in favor of such changes and
improvements In the army as will
meet existing conditions.
Should Not Fear Japs.
“We ought not to leave ourselves
in an attitude where we fear the
possibility of invasion by Japan on
the Pacific coast or by any other for
eign country on our Atlantic coast,
nor in apprehension as to what might
happen to our troops in case of inter
vention in Mexico because the army
is inadequate for emergencies.
“The present session of Congress
has been occupied with matters which
have taken slII the time, so that little
attention has been given to questions
of national defense until the acute
situation in Mexico has brought home
to us the unprepared state of this
nation to face a sudden war.
Experiments Prove Costly.
"If there should not be a peaceful
termination of the Mexican trouble
temporary war measures and make
shifts would have to be adopted, as
has been the case at the beginning of
every other war in this country, all
of which have been disastrous and
expensive on account of their experi
mental character.
“At the regular session of Congress
the subject of increasing military ef
ficiency must be considered. The
Secretary of War has taken a pro
nounced position on the subject, and
we will await his definite recommen
dations with a great deal of interest.
“I am not prepared now to say
what should be done, tne plans and
details must be worked out by men
of experience and judgment, but it
is plainly apparent that improve-
mentn must be made and the army
put in condition to meet the require
ments of the nation.
“In my opinion the National Guard
should be very much strengthened
and improved. A great many more
regular army officers should be de
tailed to give the officers instruction
and secure better drill and discipline
for the men. It would also be well
to have a more strict medical exami
nation of the enlisted men of the Na
tional Guard, so that a larger per
centage of trained men could go to
the front in time of need."
American Tourist Hurt.
LIVERPOOL. Sept. 11.—A return
ing American tourist, booked on the
liner Cedric as Mrs. Durkee. fell be
neath a carriage to-day while cross
ing Church street to the White Star
Line’s landing stage and her leg was
crushed. She was accompanied by
her husband.

BULLS SIDESTEP
Fear of Hedge Selling and Rains
in West Send January to
12.76 Cents,
NEW YORK. Sept. 11.— At the open
ing of the cotton market to-day there
was a buying wave and first prices were
at a net advance of 7 to 13 points from
Wednesday’s final. The buying came
from the same interests which supported
the list yesterday, which included some
of the larger spot houses. Cables,
while better than due, did not justify
the upturn. Reports from Galveston re
ported damage to the southwestern belt
from heavy rains. This was partly re
sponsible for the buying movement
After the list had increased its initial
gain 1 to 8 points, an unexpected sell
ing wave developed, led by the ring,
based on the uncertainty in Washing
ton and a Liverpool cable stating that
the situation at Manchester is getting
worse and the general feeling is blue
After the call the list was under
profit-taking on the early bulge and
prices suffered a decline of 8 to 13 points
from the opening range, but intmedlate-
ly rallied through active buying irom
strong sources.
The volume of trading w r as of a light
character. New' Orleans was reported
a buyer In this market, while a certain
firm with Memphis connection also
bought. The feeling is against the
market, however, and lower prices are
predicted. Spot sales in Liverpool, how
ever continue heavy, thereby leading a
stable undertone to the market, which
made the bear element hesitate to push
their tactics far enough to cause any
drastic decline. The former aggres
siveness of the bulls was conspicuous by
its absence. They seemed to have
stepped aside for the movement, prob
ably with the end in view of allowing
a short interest to accumulate and
prices to sag to an attractive enough
level, upon which they might replace
their lines recently sold out.
The present legislation in Washington
is restricting trading to a great extent.

"Hard Luck” Road Shows Gain in
Spite of Heavy Expenses
Caused by Flood.
Operations of the Illinois Central
Railroad Company during Ihe fiscal
year ended June 30 netted $3,108,665
more than in 1912, despite the flood
which stopped all through traffic for
nine days and necessitated heavy ex
penditures. This is shown in th»* an
nual report just issued.
Because of the unusual conditions
of the past two years, which have
earned the "I. C.” the name in Wall
street of the "hard luck road,” it has
been found necessary to reduce the
dividend rate. Stockholders now get
6 per cent, which was fully earned.
Two years of flood and serious labor
troubles were among the handlcap3
the “I. C.” combated.
A new union station at Memphis, a
new mechanical plant, the raising of
grade near Cairo, Ill., to eliminate
flood danger, and completion of a sec
ond track from Ponchatoula, La., to
New Orleans are the principal physi
cal Improvements of the year. There
was expended for additions and bet
terments $10,119,168. of whicli $4,-
906,530 was for equipment.
Operating revenues for the year
were $64,280,903 and operating ex
penses were $50,048,912, leaving a net
revenue from rail operations of $14,-
231,991. This is reduced by deficits
from other operations, taxes and oth
er expenses to $6,576,113 as against
$3,466,448 in 1912.

There has been a little confusion the
past few days as to showing of Govern
ment spring wheat figures. It has been
contended that the final estimate will
amount to close to 260.000,000 bushels,
but the report is expected to indicate
240.000,000 to 245.000.000 bushels
* • *
Walter H. Moler, with S. B. Chapin Sc
Co., says that the Government report on
com should show a condition of about
65. which bn the Government method
of Indicating crops, would suggest 2.340.-
000.000. Condition on oats should be
about 72 per cent, indicating a crop of
1,000,000,000. Spring wheat indicated
crop shoaiId be about 240,000.000 bushels,
which would make total Indicated wheat
crop more than 750.000,000 bushels.

B \V. Snow says that understanding
of the difference between the drouth
this year and those of other seasons is
essential to a realization of the se
riousness of the present situation. In
1901 and In 1911, drouth has confined to
June and July, relief coming in 1901
about August 1 and in 1911. around Au
gust 15. It is the destruction of corn
and of late summer and fall pasturage
that makes the present drouth the most
serious in decades. From an economic
standpoint, the loss of forage this year
is only a little less serious than the loss
to the corn crop.
* • •
The Chicago Inter Ocean says;
“Sentiment was more divided last
night in wheat, but there was a great
many bulls who can see but one side
of the market, and a few bears who
am equally emphatic in their view' of
market conditions.
"Corn traders said that the selling
which made the early decline yesterday
I was due mainly to the belief that the
price discounted all bullishness shown by
the Government report The action of
the market, they said, showed that the
big holders pick up the offerings It
was noticeable that many of the small
local bulls, who sell out on breaks, are
afraid that prices will go up, and they
buy whenever there is a show of
strength.
"Sentiment on oats is Inclined to be a
little bearish for the time being be
cause of the showing of the Govern
ment report is the third largest on rec-
ord. and they say the heavy supplies
w’ill have to be reduced materially be
fore there Is any big advance "
* * *
The Government report showing the
number of stock holdings practically the
same as last year shows that the rneat-
making demand upon this short corn
crop will be as great as was last year's
demand for that purpose upon the
largest corn crop on record. It means a
farm needs not only ihe corn grown
but the utilization of all other possible
; feeds In producing high-priced meats,
and Is. therefore, a decidedly bullish fac
tor in wheat and oats, as well as corn
* • •
The cattle and sheep supply is prac
tically as large as last year, and beef,
mutton and park all sell at a price that
is much above the parity of corn, wheat
and oats, and these grains will be con
verted Into meat on the farms The
forced marketing of cattle from dis
tricts having no feed at this time does
not reduce the ultimate demand for this
corn, because these abnormal receipts
are not being slaughtered They are be
ihg shipped out of the Kansas City a.n
Omaha market as feeders and Northern
Iowa and Northern Illinois are taking
them Into their fe«yl lots, where they will
use up the corn surplus of the*** States
I he crop failure j n Kansas, Nebraska

COTTON GOSSIP
NEW YORK, Sept. 11.—Wednesday’s
market acted as though it needed con
stant support to hold it up. Gwathmey
& Co. were big buyers for tne day, many
thought that Pell Sc Khearson were the
leading sellers. Lester, for the latter
firm, traded in nearly 60,000 bales, most
ly selling January, but he bought con
siderable October against It. Gwathmey
purchases were thought to be around
30,000 bales. Hubbard and Wail Street
bought and Liverpool sold. The mar
ket had a weak spell In the last hour,
but rallied on* buying by Mitchell, forc
ing shorts to cover.

Local bears say the market is long
and unless continually supported it will

The Sew Orleans Times-Democrat
says: “Wednesday s cotton market ex
hibited a good deal of nervousness.
There was cause enough. Splendid rains
have fallen all over the drouth affected
Htatee of Texas, Oklahoma and Arkan
sas and there Is an important reaction in
the market, which show's that because
of the excellence of thhs year's tap
root renewed growth and further fruit
ing will result. To an extent at least,
even ln those sections of the West
where the drouth has been most acute
and that where light rains fell at in
tervals during- the period of drouth, as
was the case over a large area in Texas,
a top crop is now assured by reason <ff
the precipitation Saturday, Sunday,
Monday and Tuesday.
“This attitude. of course, creates
contentions since the talent in the main
nead abroad under the belief thAt
the last of the rain had. by September
1, caused irreparable and very impor
tant damage ln the West.
“The trade situation also gives rise
to controversy. Spinners are not buy
ing cotton ahead of actual requirements,
and supply merchants are beginning to
show ann.oyance over the lack of busi
ness. Bears contend that since there is
no scarcity of cotton, and since the
manufactured product in record-break
ing volume has passed from the mills to
the shelves of the merchants during the
past two years, spinners need not be
in a hurry to provide themselves with
the raw material now that crop esti
mates are expanding and prices are
comparatively high."

MILLER-COTTER LETTER.
MEMPHIS, Kept. 11.—At 18 eont* the
market waits on the movement of new
cotton to determine spinners’ attitude,
as yet demand does not appear suffi
cient to absorb receipts were they, are
large. For this reason more bearish
ness is noted in many quarters. Prices
hold steady in the main, however, and
the prerfictlon for cooler weather with
some fear of excessive rains i.s a steady
ing influence. It is evident that the
heat of the bull fever has subdued and
that legitimate demand must rise to ad
vance values materially.

and Nebraska during the past two days.
Corn felt the effects of the more favor
able weather and declined ft to ft on

Wheat was affected by the decline of
ft to ftd in Liverpool in the face of
yesterday’s closing strength here, and
the forecast of larger Argentina ship

Oats had a small range and averaged
slightly lower.
Provisions were weaker and lower, due
to a drop of 10 to 20c in hog prices.

sharply may mark time under profit-
taking temporarily. We would he friend

E. E. Clark, of N L. Carpenter &
Co., says: "General belief is that Union
Pacific directors will not approve any
of the various plans adopted by rumor
venders for distribution of the surplus
recently acquired in the sale of Southern
Pacific stock. We believe stocks will
show gradual improvement, and, with
recensions from time to time, seek a
higher level during the balance of the
year The Steel stocks should be fa
vored on an apparent turn for the bet
ter in this industry
"Copper stock* pr esent good basin for
advance on condition of the metal.
Northern Paciflr is safe and attractive
s£t prevailing prices."

London and the Continent were large

The present undertone of the market

should be favored. Steel stocks should
be bought on better prospects for this
Industry.—K. E. Clark.
