DEFENDS COL. IRISH 
Editor of the North Shore Breeze, 
Sar: 
In the BREEzE of Oct. 8th, you have 
# letter in which Col Irish, who spoke 
in Manchester under the auspices of 
the Anti-Suffrage association, is sad- 
ly arraigned. I chanced to hear 
Col. Irish that day and noticed that 
“A Lady” did not hesitate after his 
address to shake hands with him and 
thank him for it and I quite failed to 
observe that he had been “low and 
vulgar” in his remarks, and others 
voiced this impression as_ well--cer- 
tainly he was not as insulting as a 
Seeraeist | once heard in a 
Lady’s Drawing Room in this state. 
J know Col. Irish made a very fav- 
orable impression among his intelli- 
gent hearers that day, for the wish 
was expressed that he might give a 
longer talk and at a time when more 
who wished to hear him might avail 
themselves of the privilege. At the 
Gloucester meeting Col. Irish, I un- 
derstand, was obliged to refute a 
certain very incorrect and unjust 
statement and therefore used the 
method offered to him by his malign- 
er. One would suppose under the 
circumstances he was quite justified 
in taking the stand he did. As to the 
true “status of this ‘notorious Col. 
Irish,” Iam told that in the Boston 
Post of a few days back a correct 
statement is given of Col. Irish in 
teply to an article that gave some 
very incorrect statements in regard to 
him. The accusation in your paper 
against Col. Irish is so ill-judged and 
Mea that’ in the interests of 
courtesy, fair play and, may I say 
“Christian Chivalry,” I feel moved to 
write this note and remove a false 
Let us all remember that 
_a just and worthy cause is never help- 
- 
ed by its advocates “flinging stones” 
of vituperation.

Editor of the Breeze, 
Let me say to your readers that I 
am entirely responsible for the letter 
which appeared in your last issue. 
People should not confuse letters 
sent in to an Editor with editorial 
comments! In fairness to you, who 
have been so fair to us, I make this 
statement in print. And let me take 
this opportunity to thank the’ local 
press for all its courtesy to Suffrag- 
ists. This is in line with the spirit of 
the times. The enlightened press is 
with us now, and all newspapers be- 
gin to see that Equal Suffrage is 
coming. Splendid editorials keep ap- 
pearing in such papers as the Boston

ous gains for Suffrage. 
My own reference to Col. Irish and 
the Anti meetings has been confirmed 
by the Rev. Mr. Powers of Glouces- 
ter, in the Gloucester Times, and by 
other good men and women. I have 
nothing more to say about the Antis. 
In answer to certain questions ask- 
ed me about the Parade, I should like 
to say that whether we are pelted 
with rain or with red roses, we shail 
go in and follow the “Forward into 
Light” banner up Beacon Hill! And 
this is symbolic of our whole move- 
ment. 
Yours with thanks and hope, 
Louig R. Stanwoop.

Editor of North Shore Breeze, 
Dear Sir: 
On Saturday, Oct. 16, the advo- 
cates of Woman Suffrage will parade 
in Boston under their color, yellow. 
The Anti-Suffrage color is red and 
its symbol is the red rose, which 
stands for so much that is lovely. The 
old Scotch song is very familiar and 
very appropriate: 
“Oh! my love is like a red, red rose 
That’s newly blown in June. 
Oh! my love is like a melody 
That’s sweetly played in tune.” 
If all men who like the kind of 
woman represented by the red rose
