THE PANKHURST.
The usually sensible women of
the National Suffrage Associa
tion are on the borderlands of a
glaring mistake which it is not
yet too lale to avoid. Emmeline
Pankhurst, notorious militant
suffragette and |fugitive 'from
England to France, has expressed
an intention of visiting America
in the fall to lecture, and the
heads of the suffrage movement
in this country have declared
that a monster parade must be
arranged in her honor when sins
lands, together with receptions
and considerable other hullabaloo
and fuss.
It is hoped (he good ladies will
realize the error of such a pro
ceeding. After the best is said
for her Ihe woman in question
remains a firebug, a rioler, a dis
turber, a convict and a confirmed
nuisance. She can point to no
single act of good for the cause
she claims to have espoused. On
the contrary she has done if. in
calculable harm. She became act
ive, boisterous and incorrigible
at a time when votes for women
was a thing of the near future in
England. Such a statute might
have been on the books today
had it not been for her and her
kind. How far they have wet back
the dale of success will nol be
known unlil victory comes.
Her acts, counsel ami exporta
tions have worked to the discredit
of the cause in litis country until
the very word “suffragette” gives
rise to visions of burning build
ings, exploding bomb's, frenzied
women, harried policemen and
Jbadgered find bullied citizens.
She hits caused millions of dol
lars’ loss to disinterested peo
ple who could not possibly fur
ther or harm the campaign. Her
imprudent counsels have pill the
arson torch in Ihr, hands of those
who have damaged public build
ings and playgrounds, stores,
dwellings and even churches.
Today Mrs. Pa-nkhursl (lees from
a .just sentence inflicted by an
outraged society.
To welcome her would be to
indorse her career. American
women cannot afford to do that
_because' American women are
going to have the ballot; going
to have it as a just due and right.
It is surely mining and coming
soon. Bui Mrs. Pankhurst can
get the American women noth
ing—unless it might possibly be
a measure of that hopeless de
lay she -has brought down upon'
her honest but ill-advised Eng
lish sisters. Her reward will lit1
in dollars.—Journal-Progressive,

JAPAN’S DOMESTIC DISORDERS
Instead of seeking difficulties
abroad, Japan seems to have a
problem at home on account of
a feeling of popular resentment
due t<> the handling of the Cali
fornia problem and (lie old
problem of Japan’s differences
with China. The immediate and
exciting cause of disorders in
Tokio is lo be found jii (he as
sassination of Mortiaro Abe, di
rector of the political bureau of
the Japanese foreign office; at
Nanking, China; but behind (he
disorders in 'J'okip there is the
old feeling Which grew out of the
war which resulted in Japan’s
acquisition of Port Arthur, then
her loss of the port to Russia,
and then, again, in the whirligig
of time, in Japan’s winning of
the prize again from Russia as
the result of the conflict in Man
churia.
Obviously there is a consider
able element in Japan which is
not at all pleased with the way
Japanese diplomacy has handled
this issue, and the same element
seems to be equally displeased
with the handling of the Califor
pia issue. No serious conse
quences are likely to come out of
recent disorders in Japan; but
they are enough to remind Japan
that the Tokio government need
not be browsing abroad lo court
trouble.
THE NAVY IN GOOD CONDITION
The statement of Admiral
George Dewey that he does not
hesitale to say that the American
navy, "never has been so well
prepared for war as at the pres
ent time,” probably will prove to
be aw surprising to the valiant
Hobson as it is shocking to the
frrmor plate gougers and ammu
nition makers.
Of course we are not unmind
ful of the neglect of (he Pacific
coast in the mailer of proper de
fensive equipment. But the ear
ly opening of the fanama canal
will bring the Atlantic fleet much
'closer to us and will put 11s in
a much safer position, though
we have no reason at this time
to fear an aggressive movement
on the part of any power on the
Pacific ocean.
What Admiral Dewey says
ought to have much weight at the
national capital.
We do not believe in stinting
and crippling the navy.
We believe the navy should be
kept up lo the required standard
of striking ami fighting effi
ciency.
Bui it is a matter of common
knowledge that our war scare
factory is constantly running ov
ertime; we are never without a
war scare of some sort, never
without alarmists to make the
most doleful prophecies concern
ing our lack of preparedness for
a sea challenge1 and engagement.

The Fairbanks experiment
farm is no experiment. There
is one trouble with it. If is a
source of complaint on the part
if private farmers that it does
not confine its activity to experi
menting, especially in the raising
if potatoes. The market for
home grown potatoes is steadily
growing and the demand for out
side potatoes is steadily dimin
ishing, But -.it takes dime to
build up any kind of a market,
and until the demand for a pro
duct clearly exceeds the supply,
it is not fair for the government.,
with its unlimited resources, to
enter the market in competition
with private farmers. If is cer
tainly a poor way to encourage
private farming the very object
for which an experiment 'station
should exist.—Fairbanks Times,
