Read for Profit—GEORGIAN WANT ADS—Use for Results EXTRA i ft OUT PERILS IF 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. It is asserted, perhaps with little knowledge and lens 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 grimed 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 ftjH#wers> 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, fhristabel. 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. T 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.” Tt 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, i 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 flneB. 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 * \r bath, and go into the same bath fc ub * and the same water as these women had been in.

JUDGE CANDLER oraumi 8F MORALS' Alderman and Former Supreme Court Jurist Defends Police Anti-Public Spooning Edict. John 8. Candler, city Alderman and ex-Judge of the Supreme Court, on Thursday gave a lucid interview to The Georgian on the rights of the State as opposed to the rights of in dividuals. It was given as a result of the out, cry against infringement on persona’ liberties in the police anti-kissing crusade. Alderman Candler explained that the very basis of our State and Fed eral Constitutiona was individual rights. He said that a lack of per sonal liberties and rights brought on the Revolutionary War, and that our colonial forebears believed in those principles of government as intensely as they believed in God. "But times have changed since those days’,” he said. “We confront conditions our forefathers never dreamed of. And in this great change individual privileges have perished in the interest of the rights of the ma jority. Revenue Laws an Examole. "What would the gentlemen of the old school have thought, if they had been prevented from taking their ap ples and peaches to the neighborhood distillery and having them made into brandy? "When Toombs and the other dis tinguished Georgians drafted our present Constitution in 1877 they never dreamed of the State giving children anything more than a com mon school education. ‘We have many lav/s to-day which if enforced 100 years ago would have caused a second revolution. Think of our great railroad systems. To-day they are run by the labor unions and the Government. The individuals who own them have little to say in their management. “Individuals' rights as to morale has changed from a basic national princi ple of government to a local issue* Issue Up to the People. While 60 years ago the Interfer ence of the police with a woman for wearing a hoop skirt would have caused a riot, to-day it is not unusual for the police to arrest a woman on account of extreme dress. •'Different sections differ in their regulation of morals. We don’t have the same attitude to many things in Atlanta that the people 1n New York have. We enforce certain laws in Atlanta that are not enforced in Sa vannah. Yet the same general prin- ci pal holds true—the right* of the individual are curbed in the Interest of the whole community, “The police have now' decreed that there shall be no public kissing or spooning in Atlanta. I rather think they are right. But ail such issues as that, I think, finally are up to the people to decide. In the end the wfll of the majority will prevail. “Undoubtedly there are abuses of the laws affecting individual rights. Officers sometimes go too far. You rarely hear complaints against sheriffs; they are directly responsible to the people, and are more con siderate. “But officers of the general go ernment and city police have no rect responsibility to the people therefore, sometimes gn to extreme* la enforcing tdo law, ^ Mrs. Edna Perkins Godbee.

Here I part company from them. “Militancy” in England first meant a policy of “pestering,” recommended by Sir eHnr>' Campbell-Bannerman when the first minister of the Britisn 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 wrecking and murderous ^ assaults. If it is suggested that the women of America should adopt it as policy, I *iy that nothing can ex cuse the irrationality of the sugges tion and nothing can palliate its crime. THE WEATHER.
