Another of the signs of the new times which calls for mention is the spread and militancy of the labor movement, to which the war and its concomitants gave a potent impulse.
The emergence of what was afterwards known as "militancy" belongs to this period, dating from the General Election of 1906 and very much stimulated by Premier Bannerman's reply to the deputation in that year and by the attitude of Mr. Asquith.
His brother declared that "John was the very soul of manliness and courage, and as much like the Holy Ghost as Johnny Keats" the Johnny Keats who had allowed himself to be "snuffed out by an article." As a schoolboy he had been fond of fighting, and as a man he had his share of militancy.
Humphry Ward or some suave King's Counsel with the remnants of mutton-chop whiskers if she could wean Michael away from that disturbing nonsense he could assign "militancy" as the justification of his change of mind...! All that was asked by Authority, so far as she could interpret hints from great ladies, was neutrality, the return of Professor Rossiter to the paths of pure science in which area no one disputed his eminence.
Part III Militancy I will write a song for the President, full of menacing signs, And back of it all, millions of discontented eyes. Walt Whitman Blank page Picketing a President When all suffrage controversy has died away it will be the little army of women with their purple, white and gold banners, going to prison for their political freedom, that will be remembered.
It was true indeed, she was a scarce-crow for thinness, and looked years older "somehow gone to pieces" thought the mother, vaguely, and with a queer, sudden pang. "And you're going on with it?"

A divided Iraq stands to unsettle neighbours near and far. Turkey has a large Kurdish minority as does Iran. Conservative regimes in the Gulf fear Iraq's newfound and American-administered democracy. In the wake of an American attack on Iraq, Islamic fundamentalism and militancy will surely surge and lead to a wave of terror.
The former declared all along that Women were going to be done in the eye, because all the militancy hitherto had got very little in man's way, had only excited smiles, and shoulder-shrugs.
There was soon not an intelligent human being in any country who was not discussing Women's Suffrage and arguing either for or against it. This was an immense advantage to the movement, for we had, as Sir H. Campbell Bannerman had said, "a conclusive and irrefutable case." Our difficulty had been to get it heard and considered and this "militancy" secured.
I drew an elaborate picture of Amos, and deduced from it that the Radicals were likely to be a bar to true progress. 'They have switched their old militancy, I wrote, 'on to another track, for with them it is a matter of conscience to be always militant. I finished up with some very crude remarks on economics culled from the table-talk of the egregious Tombs.
