Repairing Economies 
If you want to care for your watch in the most economical

Have it put in order every two years. 
Running it longer than 
this may seriously injure it because of dry bearings. 
Take it where your work will be done properly at a reasonable

COMMUNICATION. facts should certainly not be called 
Editor North Shore Breeze. 
In your issue of January 29th, 
Mrs. Pethick Lawrence’s quotations 
from Seripture are spoken of as 
showing the value of her peace 
movement and the dignity of her 
own character, and the questions 
are asked ‘‘Is it dignified—is it even 
right—for other women to throw 
stones at her and eall her ‘milit- 
ant’ and ‘agitator’?’’ Are some of 
of the Anti-suffragists as much op- 
posed to Peace as they are to the 
whole Woman’s Movement? 
- The *stones’’ which your contrib- 
utor says are being thrown at Mrs. 
Lawrence are the facts of her his- 
tory in which she glories. These 
‘“stones’’ by her friends. She sure- 
ly does not want to conceal the fact 
that she was three times convicted 
and sentenced to imprisonment, the 
third time being on May 22d, 1912, 
when she and her husband together 
with Mrs. Pankhurst, ‘‘were found 
guilty at the Old Bailey on the 
charge of conspiracy and _ inciting 
their followers to malicious damage 
of property, and were sentenced to 
9 months imprisonment’’. Can these 
actions be explained in any other 
way than as those of a militant and 
agitator? I should like in my turn 
to ask “‘is it dignified, is it even 
right’’ to support one’s cause at the 
expense of misleading one’s hearers 
as to facts? Mrs. Pethick Law- 
rence’s actions are her own accusers ~ 
and no amount of quoting the words 
of St. Paul or any other noble man 
can deceive any one conversant 
with facts, but unfortunately the 
public seldom is conversant with 
facts. 
Peace has nothing to do with 
woman suffrage. Every right think- 
ing woman wants peace but only on 
such terms as will make it perma- 
nent, for a temporary peace would 
be far worse than useless. Lasting 
peace can only be won through fol- 
lowing honour and justice, and I 
may add commonsense. It is a not 
insignificant fact that of the women 
who are leading this movement and 
are trying to explain their attitude 
by calling themselves ‘‘mothers of 
men’’, most are either unmarried 
women or childless wives. Those 
who have borne many children, 
who really know the cost of child- — 
bearing, know that it is too great to 
talk about so glibly, that as it is the 
highest privilege of womanhood to 
bear children, so no true woman 
would withhold from her country in © 
its need, whether in peace or in war, — 
the greatest and the best fruits of 
her labours.

EQUAL SUFFRAGE NOTES. 
The Manchester Equal Suffrage 
League met in Mrs. Leach’s, Tea 
Room, Monday afternoon, Feb. 8: 
some important business was trans- — 
acter, and Mrs. Leach’s delicious — 
tea and cakes were enjoyed. It was 
reported that a large batch of wool- 
en yarn had been sent to the Bel- 
gian Relief Committee, ‘‘to be knit 
by the Belgian women,’’—which 
completes the League’s contribn- 
tion to Belgium,—in addition to 
several bundles of knitted articles 
and of clothing already sent. 
While the appeals for Belgian re- 
lief, Polish relief, ete., continue 
urgently, the poverty and_ suf- 
ering right here in Boston has 
become so great that the Boston 
Equal Suffrage Ass’n is now mak- 
ing an appeal for ‘‘Home Relief.°’ 
At the Votes for Women shop, at 
205 Tremont st. (opposite Hotel 
Touraine), they are employing giris 
who are out of work, to work on a 
variety of articles which will after- 
wards be sold at the shop at low 
prices. They ask everyone to send 
clothing, ribbons, books, household 
articles,—almost anything—to the 
Boston Suffrage Shop, 205 Tremont — 
st., Boston, as soon as possible.
