MILITANTS WORRY
OLD JOHNNY BULL
“Malignant*” Have Destroyed $5,000,
000 Worth of Property and Driv
en Away All Tourist*
(United Press Service.)
LONDON, May 26—John Bull is
fast acquiring Insomnia trying to
'guess the answer to the question,
'"What shall we do with the wild
women?” So desperate has he be
come over the absolute mockery of
the law by the “mallgnants” that he
is almost—but not quite—persuaded
to accept the suggestion now serious
ly advanced by some eminent men,
and certainly endorsed by a large
section of the public, “Let them die.”
The failure of the “cat and mouse”
act as a cure fpr militancy has been
so thoroughly demonstrated that even
Home Secretary McKenna, the auth
or, has at last begun to realize that
sterner measures will have to be
adopted. He is not at any loss for
advice. Great Britain is notoriously
an epistolary nation, and the office
of the “chief of police” of the em
pire is nowac^ys the favorite target
of the ever ready letter writers. The
suggestions, which are being receiv
ed by the hundreds daily, prescribe
punishments varying from tattooing
on the chin to deportation for life.
The recent statistics of window
smashing, arson, dynamiting, etc., by
no means indicate how sorely John
Bull has been hurt in the tenderest
part of his anatomy—his pocketbook.
The women have destroyed more than
five million dollars worth of prop
erty since they began their crusade
of militancy five years ago. This rep
resents only a fraction of the indirect
loss in money. Merchants and hotel
keepers are complaining bitterly of
the falling off of their tourist trade,
especially from America. Mary Rich
ardson could not have selected a more
opportune time, from the suffragette
standpoint, for her meat-axe assault
upon the Rokeby Venus in the Na
tional gallery. The consequent clos
ing of all the famous show places of
London—the galleries, museums and
palaceS—coming at just the season
of the year when folks in the United
States were planning their European
,trips, has, according to the tourists
agencies, been iresponsible for thou
sands either cutting out England en
tirely from their itineraries or cur
tailing their expected visits to this
country to the minimum. Judging
from advance bookings from the oth
er side, London will be little more
than a way-station en route to Paris
and other continental points for
probably nine-tenths of the Europe
bound passenger traffic this season.
A number of prominent members
1 of parliament are urging as a solu
tion Lord Robert Cecil’s plan to exile
convicted militants to St. Helena or
to some British island nearer to Eng
land. “Deportation seems to be the
only thing left,” for instance says
W. Ornsby-Gore, himself an ardent'
supporter of woman suffrage. “It
would doubtless be an expensive and
possibly a dangerous precedent, but
I consider it absolutely necessary that
militancy must be stopped, not on
ly to prevent the laws being brought;
into a complete contempt but to ad-i
vance he cause of woman suffrage.’)
An interesting feature of the Res
ent anti-suffragette ggitation is the
attitude of the doctors. The fact tlfat
three distinguished members of the
profession, medical officers in hid
Majesty’s prisons, have beCn public-)

ly horsewhipped by suffragettes be
cause under directions from the Home
Secretary they have been compelled
toadminlster forcible feeding, has had
its influence. The profession gen
erally objects not only to the assump
tion of this sort of risks, but to the
other responsibilities that have been
added to the already uncongenial du
ties of the prison doctors by reason
of the "cat and mouse” act.
Among those who have been try
ing to convince McKenna that he
has made a grievous error in turn
ing hungfer-striking militants loose
for fear of their dying' on his hands
is Dr. Charles A. Mercier, leading
criminologist and expert in mental
diseases. "I believe the general ver
dict would be, ‘Served her right,’ ” he
says. “This systematic and success
ful defiance of the law is a menace
to the life of the nation. If it were
to become general—and it is certain-^
ly spreading—society would break up,
lawlessness would lead to anarchy,
and anarchy would end in barbarism.
The value of society as a whole pre
ponderates vastly over the value of
any of its component Individuals.”
But if the authorities cannot be
brought to see the advisability of
adopting tjie “let the mdie” policy, Dr.
Mercier has a novel alternative sug
gestion which has met with much fa
vor. “These women,” he says, “are
prompt to invoke the protection and
benefits of that very law that they
seek to destroy. They should be pro
claimed outlaws; their contracts
should not be enforcible; they should
be made incapable of taking legal
proceedings of any kind, civil or crim
inal.”
CIVIC LEAGUE
DO EINE WORK
Plant 1,775 Willows on Dike By Noon
—Plan Sale of Trees and Flow
ers Next Saturday.
The Valdez Civic League, compos
ed of public-spirited women of Val
dez, spent all of today planting wil
lows along the embankment of the
government dike in order to add to the
beauty and also to secure added
strength to the dike when the plants
take root and the roots mat.
The league had several men hired
to secure the willows and called for
volunteers to do the work today.
Many responded and at noon 1,775
willow bushes had been placed in po
sition.
Mrs. Donohoe, president of the lea
gue, Mrs Albert White, Mrs. Meyer
Blum, Mrs. Merchant, Mrs. Cocker
ille, Mrs. Boyle and Mrs. Arnes serv
ed the men a dandy luncheon, which
had been donated by the ladies of the
league.
Councilman White spent the morn
ing with his automobile taking men
and supplies to the' dike and securing
the donations made by tlie ladies for
the lunch and taking it to the ball
grounds.
In order to help beautify the many
homes and gardens in Valdez the
league will have a public sale On
Saturday at the city hall of i cottoti
wood trees, ready for planting, which
the citizens and property owners may
secure at a I6w cbst and help tobeau-r
tlfy the streets and homes. Potted
plants will also be sold below cost
to further push the work.
