such <^rms, surely, tlie Royal Warrant 

 ()ii"lit to he witluirawn. 'ilie Crown can 

 have no truck with tin.ni. For employers 

 who so underpay their workgiris are con- 

 sciously or unconsciously the chief pro- 

 curers. They cause the ruin of thousands 

 where the ordinary kidnapper of unsuspect- 

 ing girlhood only ensnares his tens. Lady 

 Stout made timely mention at (.^leen's 

 Hall of the |)recedent which New Zealand 

 has set in establishing a legal minimum 

 wage for women as well as men. 



Mr. Lloyd George, in his 

 "The Woodford speech, very 



New Anarchy." properly called attention 

 to what he described as 

 the New Anarchy, of which the classes w ho 

 ordinarily profess to stand for " law and 

 order " are among the chief exponents. 

 Peo|)le in wealthy circles, far more than 

 among the poor, seem to think that they 

 will onlv obey the law when they like to do 

 so. In former times opjjosition to any 

 measure ceased when it became the law of 

 the land. Now the Englishman's refusal 

 to know wiien he is beaten is allowed to 

 impair his law-abiding instinct. "Loyal" 

 L'lstermen declaring their intention to 

 revolt against Home Rule, window-breaking 

 suffragettes, vicars and even prelates 

 objecting to recognise the legal mar- 

 riage of a deceased wife's sister, con- 

 tract-breaking cm|)loyers and workmen, 

 hunger strikers, medical men declining to 

 work tile Insurance Act, and mistresses 

 refusing to stick Insurance stamps, are 

 ome of them amusing, otiiers very serious, 

 symptoms of a widespread disorder. The 

 present outbreak began witii the very 

 estimable |)ersons whose consciences allowed 

 tiiem to pay taxe^ in support of denomina- 

 tional initniction in our schools, but woidd 

 not allow them to |)ay rates. The Noncon- 



formist passive resistcr gave the sanction of 

 Jiis high character antl record to a tendency 

 which has now developed into open law- 

 lessness. 



The maxim of govern- 

 Imprisonment by '"tnt by Consent is being 

 Consent? given a very elastic inter- 



pretation. Lord Hugh 

 Cecil, for example, thinks that no class 

 should be taxed without its own consent. 

 And, as things are going, we seem almost 

 to be drifting to the position that no one is 

 to be imprisoned without his or her con- 

 sent. Mr. Tom Mann is sentenced to six 

 months' imprisonment. His friends do not 

 like the sentence, raise questions about it in 

 Farliament, prevail on the Home Secretary 

 to reduce it to two months : and Mr. 

 Mann emerges into freedom, with corilial 



Thirteen Weeks ending 13th OCTOBER. 1913.
