THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS.
BUT PEIS OF
Policy Has Damagd Sueffrage
Cause in England—No Excuse
For It in United States.
By DR. CHARLES AKED.
HAN FRA NTHSCO, CAU, Sept. U.
Dispatches from New York awert
that Mrs. Pankhurat ha* planned a
visit to America, and that arrange
ments are already made for meeting
to be addreeaed by her In the great
cities of the East and Middle West.
Tt 1s asserted, perhaps with little
knowledge and leas 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
Tt Is to be hoped that these fore
casts are wrong. “Militancy,” as now
understood and practiced, has done
untold harm In England; has shocked
end grired the best friends of woman
• uffrage among men. and has done
apparent ly Irreparable damage to
women themselves.
No Chance In America,
Nothing in the world can justify
the action of the Pankhurst family
and their follow era. But they have
r>een driven Into their irrationality of
dime 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.
t admired Mrs Pankhurst and I
liked her daughter, Christ a bel. I have
opened my chtioh to them in IAver-
pool. I have preached sermons and
made speeches In defense of their
militant methods.
Women Driven to Crime.
1 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 <'ampbell-Banner-
man, told them to pester the Govern
ment. f*H 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 pause*
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
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
saultlng 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
walkers, pickpockets, thieves and
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 Reforme in Prison.
The prison system has been changed
since then, but it has been changed
because of the suffragettes, anti
through the agitation of these women.
Then they i ©sorted to violence. Here
I part company from them.
“Militancy'' in England first meant
a policy of “pestering.” recommended
by Sir eHnry Campbell-Bannerman
when the first minister of the British
crown. It involved suffering. And
I defended the women. But Is there
need In America for even such “mili
tancy” as that?
“Militancy" In England now means
arson, train w-eeking and murderous
ass&ulta If It is suggested that the
women of America should adopt it
as policy, 1 say that nothing can ex
cuse the Irrationality of the sugges
tion and nothing can palliate Us
crime.

Birth of Roxburghes’ Son Tri
umph for Expert Whose The
ories Were Followed.
Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian.
jONDON, Sept. 11.—Advocates of
eugenics here regard with pride the
birth of a fine boy to the Duke and
Duchess of Roxburghe as a notable
example of the efficiency of Flitting
Into practice their principles and the
ories. The event is also a triumph
for Dr. Leopold Schenk, of the Uni
versity of Vienna, who Is a world-
famous authority on embryology.
Four years ago the Duches, desiring n
male heir to the Dukedom, consulted
Dr. Schenk. He bade her avoid all
food containing sugar, and staked
his reputation on his prediction that
the child would be a boy.
In view of the stork’s arrival the
Duchess has been leading a life under
Almost Ideal conditions for childbirth.
For some years no members of the
aristocracy have led more sane and
healthy lives than the Duke and
Duchess. He Is of athletic tastes,
plays noLonly a dashing game of polo
but excels in most field sports, notably
as a keen fisherman, first-rate shot
and an ardeht hunter. The Duchess
is also a keen fisher, and has caught
many salmon In the Tweed. One of
her favorite hobbles is the cultivation
of carnations.
Surroundings Ideal.
This love of open air unquestionably
influenced them in the choice of Tem
pleton House, Roehampton. as a resi
dence suitable for the Duchess during
the two months preceding the stork’s
anticipated visit, for there they had
every natural advantage.
Kugenlcally the house and Its sur
roundings were above criticism.
Standing in Its own grounds, within
an easy motor j*un of their London
residence, Templeton House , lies
amid sweet-smelling pines, beyond
which on one side Ilea the well-kept
garden leading to an expanse of
meadow land; on the other side
stretches for seevral miles the wood-
land and pasture of Richmond Park,
where every morning the Duke rode,
while in the afternoon the Duchess
drove in a slow-moving pair-horse
carriage, combining in this manner
all the health-giving properties of
country life, with sufficient proximity
to London to insure constant the best
medical advice.
Marquis of Bowmont.
For the present the Infant will
assume the .file of the Marquis of
Bowmont Other titles * waiting him
Include a dukedom, three earldoms, a
viscount', two baronies and a bar
onetcy.
The Duchess is the former Miss
May Goelet, daughter of the late Og
den Goelet, from whom she inherited
$10,000,000. She was married to the
Duke In 1908.
An old legend dating from 1707 is
made void by the birth of a son to
the Duchess. A curse was laid on
the family 300 years ago by a gypsy,
whose child was killed by the first
Duke, and a series of misadventures
gave color to the prophecy, which ran
as follows:
Long as ye heir shall pick his bride
From Britain s soli the line shall bide;
When he weds a woman from o’er the
sea
The house of Roxburghe shall cease to
be.

Chamberlain, of Oregon, Says
Mexican Crisis Shows U. S. Is
Unprepared for War.
Million Children
Crowd N. Y. Schools
WASHINGTON. SepL IT—Senatof
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 footing 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?s 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. I 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 appreho/iaion 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 all 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, the plans and
details must be worked out by men
of experience and Judgment, but it
is plainly apparent that Improve
ments 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.”

WHEN YOUR LIVER
GOES WRONG
Nearly Everbody Needs a Liver
Stimulant at One Time or
Another.
Nearly everybody now and then
is annoyed with a slugpish, lazy
liver or by constipation or by bil
iousness.
It is for this reason that Dod
son’s Liver Tone is such a good
medicine to keep always in the
house.
Either children or grown-ups
can take Dodson’s Liver Tone
without bad after-effects and
without restriction of habit or diet.
It is a vegetable liquid with a
pleasant taste, but a reliever of
constipation and liver troubles,
and entirely takes the ptqce of
calomel.
All druggists guarantee every
bottle of Dodson’s Liver Tone they
sell. It costs 50 cents per bottle,
and if you are not satisfied that
it Is worth the money, they will
hand your half dollar back to you
with a smile.
Don’t be fooled by preparations
imitating the claims of Dodson’s
Liver Tone. Just remember any
druggist will give you back your
money if Dodson’s liver Tone fails
you. That is a guarantee that

1545 Aisqulth St. BilUtnora. Md. —•
“My children were afflicted with what they
called ringworm of the scalp contracted
from a house-cat they were playing with.
The ringworm formed on their scalps about
the sice of a silver dollar and their hair fell

scalps. Their hair fell out in round ipots
There was terrible itching and they scratched

and could not sleep at night and they were
very cross.
“They were treated for several months
with no improvement whatsoever. Instead
of Improving they were getting worse and
the ringworm was spreading and getting
larger. 1 was told they would never have
any hair and would always be bald. Then
I began using Cuticura Soap in connection
with Cuticura Ointment and the first week
I could see the wonderful remedies were
