Judging by her speeches and writings, she is not here in the interests of the Ameri­ can woman, nor here to further the oause of world peace, but here to in­ fluence by her prejudices the Ameri can nation in favor of England in the present war and it is this fact under the guise of a suffragette that causes me to call her more. Woman suffrage is stil 1 iu its infancy. It is at present working example as an experiment and let us hope that the nation and the world as a whole will be benefited thereby. But the women of this coun­ try have used a far different method whereby to obtain equal suffrage, ap­ pealing to men's honor and principles, demanding in the nature of a plea in­ stead of doing as the followers of Miss Pankhurst have done, by inciting pet­ ty riots, by the destruction of property and by committing many acts of mob violence, all tending to show an unfit­ ness for assisting in a nation's govern­ ment. We cannot justify the means. A union may demand an increase in necessary wages, its demand made on good grounds, but because the manu­ facturer is not coming across does not justify that union in destroying prop­ erty. That is anarchy. Would we wish to trust the governing of our United States to a mob, regardless of the fact that that mob be composed of militant women or strikers, or even anarchists? And yet Miss Pankhurst feels that she must tell our suffragettes what to do, how to assist the govern­ ing of this nation when our American suffragettes are far ahead of the En­ glish militant, both as to methods as regards to ends obtained. The suffrage movement in this coun­ try claims to be a movement not only to establish equal suffrage, but declares itself for equal justioe and peace, fos­ tering a movement for a world peace. This claim was also made and preached hv our English suffragettes. Now there is nothing ambiguous about that. But Miss Pankhurst aad her militants at the outbreak of hostilities declared for the war. Why? Previously th*y t aught world |>eace, but far from peact- able at nn.v time, they now declare in favor of war. Are these principles only over-night resolutions or is world peace to lie desired at one time only to be relegated to the background when desired at times when the nation's in terests are involved? On such a prin ciple we can never found a world peace Miss Pankhurst yesterday preached world peace: today declares for war and then again turns to this country to talk world peace, simply because her country, England, is at war, and she has appealed to our American suffra gettes, who also favor world peace, to gether with other principles, and she expects that the American women should sympathize with her. But if these women are true to princi pie, and if that principle is at all worth striving for, then the American suffragette must refuse to sanction the militants of England in this matter And as such Miss Pankhurst should be understood by our suffragettes. Miss Pankhurst tries to find an ex cuse by saying they are fighting for the liberation of the Germau women Have the German women demanded equal suffrage? Shall the other na tions force it upon her? When the militants of England cannot establish equal suffrage in their own country how will they accomplish it for Ger many? Or do they believe that Ger­ many's government is more liberal and that after the German women have equal suffrage it will favor the En­ glish militants' cause? When the German woman is dissatisfied with the government she will demand equal suf­ frage, |x>s8ibly. But at present she shows her devotion for that govern­ ment just as Miss Pankhurst has for England. Then why does not Miss Pankhurst liberate the women of Rus­ sia? Perhaps they have equal suffrage there. Again, Miss Pankhurst, after de­ claring for war, tells us of plans for a world peace, just as tho the mere say so would establish such a state of af­ fairs. If she and her militants have peace plans (world peace) why did they enter the war? Why did they not preach to the men and sons of England? Nay, England must fight for the upper control first, so that England can be undisputed champion of a so-called world peace. She flatly comes out with a state ment that this nation ought to assist the allies. She appeals to our suffra­ gettes to throw aside this peace plan for once to further England's gains. It clearly shows her mission to this country--to assist in spreading preju­ dice and develop ill feeling against one nation of fellowmen under the guise of a suffragette. She is the second Genet in a sense, Whom we can recall from our history during the French revolu­ tion. Let our American suffragettes show up this woman. DR. ARNOLD MUELLER.
