AN ANTI-SUFFRAGE MOVEMENT. The fact that an organization, holding every pro mise of strength, has been formed to combat the movement for woman suffrage, will perhaps be ac cepted by the reforming party as a tribute to the effectiveness of their demands. That may well be the case: one does not think it worth while to combat a weak adversary simply in order to ac celerate his extinction. We must accept the belief that the woman suffrage movement has gained some support and promises to gain more. This success, however, cannot be adduced as a proof that the movement is just or that it is bound to prove ulti mately successful in a fuller sense. On the con trary, it is largely through experience that man kind, and womankind too, discovers its errors. We are just as likely to spend enthusiasm on a false idea before we recognize a just one as we are to embrace without misgiving the reasonable course when it is presented to us. Political “ agitation, moreover, attains results which are as transitory as they are rapid. The guiding motive of political opinion is formed by diverse considerations de pendent on time, on environment, on interest. To day there may seem to be a consensus of opinion on the desirability of women’s votes; tomorrow there may be nothing but hesitation; and on an other day there may be nothing but opposition. Public opinion, even on burning questions, is fickle; it is formed by incessant forces which are not al ways right; and it is destroyed by forces which are not necessarily more just because they are more insistent. Hitherto a widespread agitation, well-organized and prosecuted with unflagging vigour, has been allowed to approach the public almost unopposed. .Everyone can form some idea of what would be likely to happen if one political party only were to place its views unchallenged before the country; one can imagine what monstrous ideas would be promulgated, and at what a disadvantage the electorate would be placed in having to find for itself the counter-arguments in any question. Advocacy without the reply of an opponent is the deliberate warping of the listener’s mind; we can not pass judgment until we have heard the utmost that can be said on both sides. Self-sufficient politicians must sooner or later find that they can not get away from nostrums and superstitions; and the public that listens to them long enough soon becomes infected with the same ideas. In the case of woman suffrage, it is not as though the demand for women’s votes is a self-evident proposition which has only to be stated in order to be ac cepted. There are weighty reasons to be adduced against it, on grounds of justice as well as on those of expediency. The new organization is supported by a number of ladies prominent on account of their high station, their distinction in various pursuits, and their poli tical influence; and by a number of gentlemen of similar qualifications. Probably the name that is likely to carry most weight with the majority of women is that of Mrs. Humphry Ward, whose know ledge of politics and whose popularity as an author of brilliance will ensure for her opinions at least a favourable hearing if not undivided support. A number of arguments have already been put for ward by the organization. These deal principally with such topics as the fostering of sex antagonism, the democratic nature of the franchise, the anomaly of w'omen having the right to make laws without having the power of enforcing them, and the dis integration of the family. These are difficult points which must be discussed separately and at appropriate length; but they are at any rate suggestive of the ground on which the or- Paris $ Dresden ^ New York: fur-Styles are here in great variety to select from.

PETERS, ganization is taking its stand. Another point on which a decided attitude has been taken up is the right of women to vote in municipal elections and to sit on town and county councils. Here it is laid down that the municipal and national functions involve a difference of character not a difference of degree; that it is one thing to take part in municipal business, dealing with problems of an educational and social nature, and quite another to take part in national business in which women have not hitherto taken any share or displayed much interest. The National Women’s Anti-Suffrage Association will not deprecate the participation of women in muni cipal matters, but it will certainly fight the idea that the one is necessarily the corollary of the other. The Association will lay down as its basic principle the belief that the respective spheres of men and women are neither antagonistic nor iden tical, but supplementary. The process of completing the machinery of this movement is now on foot, and it is expected that before the 'nextr “general election a wide organization will have been completed, and will perhaps have already proved effective in checking the influence of the militant suffragist. The arrangements are to be on a large scale such as will adequately counteract the work of the suffrage societies all over the country. There can be no doubt that there is going to be much stimulating discussion and possibly a certain amount of not unnatural acrimony. There will, however, be this great gain to the community, that a reform which is held by its advocates to be of paramount importance to the State will, at last, be considered in the full light of intelligent criticism. GENERAL NEWS. NEWS FROM ENGLAND. THE HOUSE OF COMMONS. At the sitting on Monday, Mr. Myer (Lib., Lam beth) asked the President of the Board of Trade if his attention had been called to a report of a Union of steel manufacturers which is to include the leading firms of England, Germany, Russia, and the United States; and whether the Government, in the interests of British trade, intended to find some means of legislating in restraint of such unions. Mr. Winston Churchill replied, that he had read the reports in question in the newspapers, but had received no information confirming those reports. The Government did not propose to legislate against unions of capital. The House then proceeded with the second read ing of the Old Age Pensions Bill, referred to by the Prime Minister, Mr. Asquith, in his Budget speech of the 7th of May. The Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mr. Lloyd George, explained and defended the provisions of the Old Age Pensions Bill which, he said it should be borne in mind, was necessarily incomplete and to be regarded as a tentative measure. The system of contributions was not practicable in England. The Minister laid stress on the magnanimity of the Government Bill, and pointed out that the highest sum estimated as likely to be required under its provisions in the current year was 7 V 2 millions sterling. Mr. Cox (Lib., Preston) moved an amendment in favour" of a system of contribution, and warmly commended the German and Austrian systems. NEWS FROM AMERICA. GOETHE-SCHILLER MONUMENT AT MILWAUKEE.
