EXTENDED FRANCHISE FOR

WOMEN

A BIG NAJORITY.

In the House of Coméións on March 8th, Lord R Cecil, under the ten minutes rule, asked leave to introduce a bill to extend the suffrage to women on the amo formes de men. The case for the bill, he said, was that they had row had er perience of the exercise of the suffrage by women at one general election and number of by-elections, and everyone ad mitted that the experience had been entirely successful. Women had voted in "Dumbers about equal to those of the men, and there was no ground for thinking that they had exercised their Franchise on grounds less satisfactory than those which moved the male section of the

Populations The old monstrous regi- ment of women doctrine, which used to to be not uncommon in the House of Commons, had been relegated to these bomes of culture and progress, the City! of London and the Scottish universities. (Laughter.) The causes in which women were interested had advanced greatly by the grant of votes to women; yet thers were signs that politically, and socially women were not regarded as entirely on

qual terms with men. There reason whatever for thinking that woman of 21 was more incapable of exer- cising the suffrage than a man of 92. had introduced the bill in order give members art - opportunity of showing in the division lobby ho were for and who were against the proposal. He did so because the Government had expressed great reluctance to put forward this reform, and if the were carried by a large majority their reluctance might become less, a

Licut.-Colonel Archer-Shee expressed surprise at Lord R. Cecil introducing under the, ten minutes' rule a bill which affected the enfranchisement of something. like 5,000,000 persona. It" was an abuso of Parliamentary privilege. Already the number of men and women voters was about equal. He did not, believe there | was any demand by-giris of 21 to 30 for the franchise. They had the greatest contempt for politicians.

Viscountess Astor: Speak for yourself. An Hon. Member: He's no lady." (Laughter.)

Lieut. Colonel "Archer-Shee "said he bn'd just received a report, as treasurer of the London Municipal Society-a very successful society-(choers)-end it ap- peared that 40 per cent. of the new elec- tors did not go to the poll. They could not be got to the poll.

Viscountess Astor: How many men go to the poil?

Lieut. Colonel Archer-Shee hoped hon. members would serw up their courage and would hot run away from the divi- xion, In voting against the hill they would receive the support of all the younger women of their constituencies,

WOMEN JURORS, NIGHT OUT. Corn Comes Off

ANGRY HUSBANDS IN COURT.

In St. Paul, the capital of the State of Minnesota, even women who were serving on a jury which failed to agree were locked up for two nights in the same room with the five men jurors,

On the morning of March 8th the Assize Court was stormed by a crowd of scandalized citizens, headed by "the hus bands of the seven women. One of them expressed his sentiments to the Judges" in such terms that he was promptly com- pitted for contempt of Court. jurywoman, Mrs. Josephine Brown, has given a detailed account of her experi- ences during the two nights.

I asture you. Ons woman talked all night. In the morning, long before daylight, to the accompaniment of loud snores by the men, we got up and dressed. The second sight was a repetition of the first."

The storm of protest aroused by the revelations of the women's ordeal has been followed by an outspoken declara tion by the Governor of the State that he will positively not allow a wife to obey a summons to serve on a jury so long; and she is exposed to the possibility of such experiences.-Times,

HERE is a distinguishing feature in the business of the house of HAIG & HAIG. Most Distillers have various brands of varying qualities. HAIG & HAIG have one brand only, and they claim (and the public acclaim) that it is. the finest that goes from Scotland.

It is a regrettable fact that all retailers have not、 the same high standard of commercial honesty, and it is known that cheaper brands are some times passed on to the public under the label of houses of high repute.

When you see a genuine bottle of HAIG & HAIG. Fire- Stars Scots Whisky it will be the same fine quality in London, in Lucknow, or in Labrador; in the Langham Hotel, in the G.O.H. at Colombo, and in the best' Clubs in Cape Town,
