“We have long suspected,” the chief starver for the suffrage cause was
quoted in the newspapers, “the sincerity of the suffragist support from
the young women of America. Miss Leigh has proved by this weak
reparation that her acts here were performed without sense of
conviction. It is such as she who seem to justify, to the thoughtless,
the charge that there is nothing new in principle in our attitude toward
men. Her traitorous repairing of damage which we supposed was done in
good faith will certainly cause us to be more certain of the sincerity
and conviction of other recruits in our ranks before intrusting them
with important acts of destruction. The rumored marriage of Miss Leigh
is, under the circumstances, perfectly comprehensible, and only a final
evidence of her defection.”
