WHERE THE BLAME RESTS.
The natural inelinafinn and
ciisto of society is to. blame the
individual who goes wrong and
treat the case as one separate
and apart from all other persons.
This is particularly true in eases
of violation of the moral cade,
when, as a matter of fact, condi
tions of society are to hlame at
least equally with the individual.
Tliis was hus forcefully express
ed hy Judge Van Fleet, of San
Francisco, when he pronounced
sentence against Diggs and fain.
iiKd ti:
“This was a crime of oppor
tunity. I mean that the laxity of
social conditions and the lack of
parental control nuufe it possi
ble."
That the two men were had.
that they were individually re
sponsible and that they should
sutler individually was not for a
moment, questioned hy the judge.
But his true vision saw beyond
the individual guilt. It saw the
menace to oilier girls than the
Drew and Caminelli victims in
the conditions that contributed to
their downfall.
Of the two obvious factors to
the sin and crime the judge said:
"I wish to say that all through
this case there is the evidence
that drink had its paralyzing in
fluence upon the morals and the j
minds of these men and those
two young girls with whom llieyj
went on that trip to Reno. The
terrible, debasing influence of the
'saloon, the deadfall of the road
house, is loo disgustingly appar
ent in this pitiful situation, and
I make the observation here that
society must pay the price for
permitting the existence of these
highly objectionable places."

There is Individual responsibil

SUFFRAGE CRUSADES IN TWO
STATES.
Supporters of the cause of
equal suffrage propose to inaug
urate campaigns in Pennsylvania
and Missouri in October and to
make a systematic tight in those
commonwealths for the recogni
tion of their rights. The.cam
paign in Pennsylvania .will • lie
opened in Philadelphia,' where
meetings will be held for pne week
in every voting precinct.
The Pennsylvania workers - in
the cause are urging those se
lected to conduct the coining
meetings not to depart in any way
from the course long since adopt
ed and persistently pursued in
the furtherance of the cause.
Their appeal will lie made,
through intellectual effort and
moral suasion, to the sex that is
now privileged to vole and must
determine whether Ihe women
shall be granted I hat privilege.
Suffrage has crossed the Missis
sippi within the last few months.
To do so it had to attack and to
overthrow some very formidable
strongholds of doubt and preju
dice. II is is still shut out from
the Atlantic, and by strongholds
of doubt and prejudice long bet
lieved to be impregnable.
The good women of Missouri
have been employing slightly dif
ferent lactic*, but with splendid
success. They have organized
glee (dubs which have been visit
ing all the county fairs, home
coming festivals and celebrations
of like character. These clubs—
and I hey include a brass band
composed of Ozark belles—have
been singing at the fairs and oth
er festivals, not rag-lime; not
classic music, but such favorites
as ••Home, Sweet Home,” "The
Old Oaken Bucket,” "Rocking I he
Baby to Sleep,” “Joe Bowers” and
oilier melodic* that have been
sung at the firesides of Missouri
homes since the pioneers drove
I he Indians out. The purpose of
I he campaign was to convince the
men Missourians, who. have to be
“shown,” that the sweet home
and the sleeping baby will not be
disturbed when the women folks
go out to vote. We have no idea
that the warm-hearled men of
Missouri will be able to resist I lull
sold ol an appeal.—Ex.
A QUEST FOR GOLD.
II is rumored that even among
the women who were most anx
ious to welcome Mrs. Pankhurst
to this country there are increas
ing symptoms of doubt as to
the value of her services to the
American sull'rage movement.
A considerable number of the
sull'rage workers have not view
ed (lie coming of Mrs. Pankhurst
with much enthusiasm from the
lirsl. 'Her campaign methods arc
mil. Ilieirs, and they feel that
theirs have been productive of
more satisfartoiy results. Ap
proval of the work of the Brit
ish militants has seemed to them
out of the question, and any dem
onstrative reception would indi
cate approval. Others, howe'ver,
in the belief that seemingly
greater obstacles to woman suf
frage must be overcome in (treat
Britain, have contended that on
ly llie militant method could pre
vail there, and that Mrs. Pank
hursi should be received with all
the honors due to a heroine of
their cause.
The prese'nl change of head is
due In llie realization nf the in
disputable fuel thill the side ob
ject, id Mrs. Pankhurst's \isil is
In make money for Hie cause til'
Hrilisli equal suffrage, and, in
cidenlally. for I lie tribe of Pank
liursl. The pursuit of woman
suffrage here has uol been pecu
niarily prolilable for many, or
largely so for any; and Ih»> Amer
ican suffragists need all the funds
they can secure in carry on I heir
own campaign. The leader of the
Hrilisli militants demands a
guarantee of *1,500 for speaking
in Madison Square Harden, in
addition lo a liberal share of the
gate receipts after file expenses
have been paid. In fact, she
claims sixty per cent of all that
is taken in over $10,00(1. This
money she will take home with
her.
In other words, Mrs. Pankhursl
regards the American suffrage
cause as a fat goose to be pluck
ed for British profit. Her alert
and comely press agent has not
been wasting her time since her
arrival, and her work shows that
her employer, like most other
English artists and sporting folk,
is coming to collect the profits
of the enormous amount of free
advertising we have all been giv
ing her in our accustomed gen
erous way. It is perfectly nat
ural that the native suffragists
should feel that if there is any
money in the public exhibition
end of their movement they ought
to have il. They may try to get
a fair share of the Pankhursl re
ceipts. hut they may not 'Succeed,
as they have not been as alert
as the militant matron and her
agent.—Ney York Times.
