And there was an occasional interview from some woman prominent in the suffragist movement. Martin Acres reached the infuriated end of his patience when he saw the following quotation from Mabel, who had permitted herself to be interviewed. "Do you think women know better how to buy and sell than men?" Mrs. Acres was asked. "Of course they do. Isn't it women who have to cook, or see to it?
Only vanity and folly would counsel amateurs to try to draw up rules or laws for themselves. Again, the woman suffragist takes it as a matter of course that she would herself be able to construct a system of workable laws. In point of fact, the framing of a really useful law is a question of divining something which will apply to an infinite number of different cases and individuals.
Pankhurst explained the position to the Suffragist women assembled there. Her blood was fired by the recital of their wrongs and she was prominent among the four hundred and fifty volunteers who came forward to accompany Mrs. Pankhurst, Dr. The women proceeded to Parliament Square in small groups so as to keep within the letter of the law.
In November, 1907, a conference lasting five days was held at Jackson in the home of Charles H. Thompson, a devoted suffragist, and his wife, Lily Wilkinson Thompson. Among those attending were Miss Kearney, Mrs. Somerville, Mrs. Harriet B. Kells, president of the State W. C. T. U. and a life-long suffragist; Miss Laura Clay of Kentucky and Miss Kate Gordon of Louisiana.
But I hear the reader interpose, "Is there not a grave danger that generalisations may be erroneous?" And I can hear the woman suffragist interject, "Is there not a grave danger that unflattering generalisations about woman may be erroneous?" The answer to the general question is that there is of course always the risk that our generalisations may be erroneous.
"Oh, we should want you to do the work, get up advertisements, write special articles along such educational lines for the movement as we should suggest. You would 'come in' a great deal, Mr. Carter. You would be the busiest man in Jordantown." "But, good Lord beg pardon! You want me to become a woman suffragist, Madam and I'm a man!" "We should certainly require you to work for it.
Do you believe in suffrage for women, for your wife, for example?" He sat up and looked at her. He began to smile teasingly, as if she were a little girl and he a patient elder person with a beam in his eye. "So that's it, hey? You want to be a suffragist and with the suffragists stand! Of course I believe in it. I believe in letting every woman have what she wants.
And he'll talk, talk, talk, like a suffragist gone mad; his phonograph can be charged for 100,000 words, and all you've got to do is to speak into it what you want him to say, and he'll say it. He'll go on saying it till he talks his man silly, or gets an order.
Such a use of the term right could be justified on the ground that everybody would be willing to make personal sacrifices, and to combine with his fellows for the purpose of securing these essentials an understanding which would almost amount to legal sanction. The suffragist who employs the term "Woman's Rights" does not employ the word rights in either of these senses.
What is it? I don't know. I say, Lester, are you a Suffragist?" "Haven't made up my mind." "I am theoretically. But upon my word politics plays the deuce with women. And sometimes I think that women will play the deuce with politics." "You mean they're so unmeasured?" said Lester, cautiously.
