There is room for an honest difference of opinion as to wheth er or not woman suffrage is de manded by the majority of the women and considered expedient by the piajority of the men, but there is one (tiestion upon which there is no room for a difference of opinion and that is as to the methods used by those who have charge of the suffrage movement in Great Britain. The reckless destruction of private and public property, the uncalled for abuse of public men and general intemperate state ments credited to the suffrage leaders has done much to dis credit the entire movement abroad. The time has gone by when a resort to open anarchy will bring men to change their viewpoint on any public question. An appeal to reason and common sense will eventually succeed if the cause is just, anil those who are advocat ing it retain the respect of the electors. To obtain a respectful hearing is the first thing which is lesired if I he evangelist of suf frage would accomplish her pur pose. No woman can expect to obtain a hearing of this character if she in introduced to the audi ence as a law breaker. If women have no respect for the law as it exists today they should most certainly not be entrusted with the important duty of assisting in drafting the laws of tomorrow. The leaders of the suffrage movement in Oregon set an ex ample which might well be fol lowed by their sisters across the water. The appeal of the Oregon women was made to the common sense, to the reason and to the chivalry of the electors. They never lost sight of the fact that while they were laboring in a great cause, they were still wo men, and it was due to the fact that they at all times retained the respect of the voters that they finally won in the battle of politi cal equality.
