N order to make THE SUFFRAGETTE a

to the Suiirage movement, you are urged

to induce all the lu .iness firms with which
you deal to advertise in it. Get from ea:h
firm a promise to advertise, and then wire ".0
*the advertisement maria, e' at Lincoln’s Inn
House, Kingsway, V7.C., reporting the

success of your negotiations.

To obtain new advertisements is not enough.
Advertisers must be kept. The way to keep
them is to give them the preference over rival
firms who do not advertise in \

Readers are asked, either when making

consequence of the advertisement in THE

The advertisers in the paper shou‘d he

for their support Suffragists should give them

A Review of the Week.

The Official Labour Party.

The official Labour Party is sinkng' lower
and lower. If Mr. Asquith is thinking to
strengthen his Government by inViting Mr.

vet for them to persuade the public that they are
quite separate by the mere device‘of not. appearing
on each other"s platforms in the constituencies. .
No doubt the official Labour Party will
wince at this statement, which to them may
seem crude, of the plain facts of the situa~
tion.

Mrs. Pankhurst to Visit America.
As Mrs. Pankhurst has broken down her
sentence of three years’ penal servitude by
speaking twice at a public meeting without
being arrested, and as there is to be no
autumn session of Parliament, she has de—
cided to underetake a short lecturing tour in
the United States. The object of her viSit
is to present the case for women‘s en franchise—
ment, with special reference to its connection
with the \Vhite Slave problem and the
scourge of venereal disease. The recent
developments of the militant Suffrage move—
ment in Great Britain will also be explained.
Meetings are to be held in New York,
Chicago, Boston, Philadelphia, and other
great cities. A VV.S.P.U. organiserp Miss
Joan \Vickham, sails for New Xork in the
Cedric,” on September 11, for the purpose
of making arrangements for M‘s. Pank—
hurst’s meetings, and conferring with. the
manv American Suffragists who are giving
their co—operaton. On Mrs. Pankhurst’s
return to this country she will address a
mass meeting in London.

magistrates, and the. trial will not take place
until after his issue is published. Beth Mr

llad. indeed, were the Government to fan »
into ﬂame the ﬁre of revolt that they found

burning in the hearts of Suffragists when

they took up ofﬁce. If they had then and

there placated the Suffragettes by giving

them the vote much of the men’s violence,

past, present, and to come, would have been

obviated. To the Suffragette example is

largely due the unrest in India that has

marked the course of Liberal rule. To the

Suffragette example is due the boldness With

which the Unionist Party preaches Violent
revolution in Ulster. To the Sulfragette
example may in large part be attributed the
rioting in South Africa and Dublin. It is
noticeable that on the Rand and in Dublin
women have played a leading, revolutionary
part. And, as the Government surely. know,
women’s participation in a revolt gives to
that revolt a special intensity. It is men who
are prone to compromise—whose revolu-
tionary temper, though easily roused, is
easily quenched. 'Women are more daring, ‘
more persistent, harder to dZZivte. ‘ It? '

can assure him that he Will make 3"“ b. i a;
mistake as was'madt‘i i‘ ' is predecessor, Sir

Wil-Bannerman, when he gave

_, - met , oﬂice to Mr. John Burns. Mr.
M I. R. MacDonald is losing .the following he
once had, and he will not be found individu—
ally a strength to ilthe Government. The
great opportunity of Mr. I. R. MacDonald’s
life was to force the Government to give
votes to working women. He has not done
this. An interesting confession of the sub—
jection of Mr. MacDonald and his ﬂock to
the Liberal Government is made by Mr.

Philip Snowden, who says in the “ Christian
Commonwealth ” :

Its members sit in Parliament because, in four-
ﬁfths of the cases some understanding or arrange—
ment has been made with the Liberals. Under such
circumstances it is ridiculous to expert, that Labour
members will quarrel seriously with the Party by
whose good Will they hold their seats.

Then why do some Suffragists maintain
that in the Labour Party lies their hope of
bringing pressure to bear upon the Govern-
ment?

“Hand-in-Glove in the Same Operations."

The “W'estminster Gazette,” discussing
the alliance between the Labour Party and
the Government and the sham fight that has
lately taken place between these allies, says :

It, may be very well that Labour and Liberal
should keep their separate oragnisations, but it is
not well that they should behave like conspirators
who are ‘inst—ructed'not to recognise each other in
the streets, though they are liand—in-glovc in the
same operations. There are some efforts which
defeat themselves, and it is really immible for
two Parties to work together as the Liberal and
Labour Parties do in the House of Commons, and

iieved of hp" . i
m - ‘ . sentence of three years

. serVit‘ude, says ;

(penal

Mrs. .Pankhurst is under sentence of three years’
penal servitude for felony, and of that sentence
she has served only nineteen days; and the SecreL
tary of State feels that, unless he received from
her an 'amuranoe that she would for the future
abstain from all crime or incitement to crime, it
is impossible for himto advise His Majesty to
grant her any pardon or remission of sentence.

These are bold words of Mr. McKenna’s,
but they are no disguise of the fact that he
has found himself unable to enforce the sen-
tence ofthree years’ penal servitude upon
Mrs. Pankhurst. When on August 5 and
August II he omitted to arrest Mrs. Pank-
burst and Miss Annie Kenney he cancelled
their sentences and restored them to the posi—
tion of free women. There can be no rearrest
under the “Cat—and—Mouse Act” either of
Mrs. Pankhurst or of Miss Kenney. And as
Mr. McKcnna has abandoned the policy of
“Cat—and—Mouse torture” where these two
prisoners are concerned, he has no right to
torture other Suffragists. This is a matter
which will be fought out in the autumn.

Mr. Asquith’s Education.

Since reason and argument are quite lost
upon Mr. Asquith, who has for a quarter of
a century resisted education by such means,

.two women determined to try means more

drastic. Hence the exciting episode on the
golf links at Lossiemouth. A full account
of the protest appears on page .516. From
this it will be seen that Mr. Asquith dis-
played a terror quite ludicrous, and that
though he does not believe that women are
strong enough to vote, he is vastly afraid
of meeting them in combat, and does not
disdain the protection of a member of the

A Monstrous Inequality.

It will be interesting to know how the
Government defend the arrest of Mr. Larkin
and others in Dublin considering that they
have not yet ordered the arrest of Sir
_Edward Carson and Mr. Bonar Law. Mr.
Larkin and his friends have avowedl y fol-
lowed the example of Sir Edward Carson.
“\Ve will follow Carson’s example,” says
Mr. Larkin, “ and from to-morrow morning
in all our ofﬁces and halls we will enroll,
organise, and arm a volunteer force.” ” Sir
Edward,” says Mr. Larkin again, “has
armed his men with Italian riﬂes; do you
arm yourselves with Irish weapons—black-
thorns, bottles, and hurleys.” Yet while
Mr. Larkin is arrested Sir Edward Carson
is not. This is the sort of monstrous in-
equality first practised by the Government
at the expense of Suffragettes. A wrong
introduced to deal with women is afterwards

done to the injury of men. Of this we
warned Irien long ago.

Work for Women.

A correspondence has been in progress
in the “Daily Mail” on the subject of the
dearth of suitable employment for women
who have had a university education. This
problem will always be with us until women
obtain the vote and are able to sweep away
the barriers that have been erected by law
and custom. At present they cannot be
lawyers, or ministers of religion, nor, except
in the lower grades, civil servants. High
positions in the business world are, to a large
extent, closed to them. Prejudice and the
law hamper them at every turn. This being
so, it is highly important that women shall
stand by women, and by co—opcration
strengthen the economic position of their sex.
The more employment that women can give
t3 women the better. There is no work,

is made to modern i‘cquii‘cinciits. But what a

books who never wants any save a “ man child.”
'And certainly she is not lit to have a woman child.

Enough has been said to enable the experienced

person she is. Alas! wo have met her like over
and over again in novels and generally, we grieve
tosay. in iiovcls written by women. Happily, this

met in real lifo-at any rate, in these enlightened
times.

There are certain among women novelists who.
if they are to retain their hold upon intelligent

upon the “scrap heap." Let them gct- back to

THE SUF F RAGETTE

CHASTITY AND THE HEALTH OF MEN.

By CHRISTABEL PANKHURST.

In . urging that votes for women and
chastity for men are the double cure for the
sexual disease that is destroying indiViduals
and the race, we are met by the excuse that
chastity for men is dangerous to their health,
and that immorality is necessary to the
preservation of their health. .

This excuse is in direct conflict with the
highest medical opinion.

Medical testimony is that. immorality not
only soils and debilitates a man’s body, but
also contaminates his mind. lntractable
to cure as is the bodily disease caused by
immerality, the brain stains which it pro—
duces are even more difﬁcult to wash away.

But since somany men rank the body
higher than the mind, it is above all things
important to make them understand that
the physical well—being which they think, or
pretend to think they are» achieving by
immorality, is actually being destroyed-

That immorality causes bodily weakness
as well as actual disease is obvious, because
the‘sexual act involves a very great expendi—

-- ,ture of a man’s energy—energy which can, if

it is not expended in that way,be trans-
,formed and expended in other ways, either
physical or mental.

In support of our contention we may point
out that when athletes are in training sexual
intercourse, even in the legitimate relation of
marriageand in moderation, has to be com—
pletely avoided. Considering that a man
goes into training with a view to getting
himSelf into a perfect physical condition the
fact to which we have referred is of the very
greatest signiﬁcance.

, "And now'we will give one after another,
quotations from medical authorities showing
the desirability from the point of view of

men’s health, of an equal-moral standard.

.The lower moral. standard of men has
alWays been a cause ofoffcnce to-women,
and:mcn have sought to silence women’s
condemnation by assuring them that cnastity
involves not, only injury to the health'of
men {with this point ‘we have dealt): but
also very great physical distress.
this matter also the doctors have pronmmccd
and in a sense destructive of mcn's preten—
sions.

The doctors inform us that the immorality
to which men resort on the pretext of reliev—
ing physical distress is, on the contrary, the
very cause of that distress.

“Fallen men," says James Foster Scott,
M.D., “by continual stimulation of their
sexual passions with erotic thoughts, sen—
sual conversation and literature, and by the a
rehearsal of lewd stories produce in them-
selves and in others who fall under their
noxious influence an uncontrollable passion."
Ciays this same authority : “ Intercourse with

different women is well known morbidly to
increase desire.”

Another important statement made by Dr.
Scott is this:

The proper subjugation of the sexual impulses
and the conservation of the complex seminal fluid,
with its wonderfully invigorating influence, de-
velop all that is best and noblest in men.

“It is the incontinent men," says W. J.
Jacobson, _ p . ..

Sexual organs, and it is they-who, from
unshunncd exc1tcmcut, must suilcr from an
excess of seminal secretions and its results.
On the other hand it is the strictly crmmmm
men who keep themselves healthily occupied
in mind and body, men who when attacked
by imperious sexual desire simply sally out ii
aiid seek in exchisc a change of surround-
ings; to such as these the secretion o
