III
THE CONFLICT WITH THE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE
BOTHERATION
(“Why do you come here and bother us?”—Chairman Webb, at the Suffrage hearing in Washington.)
Girls, girls, the worst has happened;
Our cause is at its ebb.
How could you go and do it!
You’ve bothered Mr. Webb!
You came and asked for freedom,
(As law does not forbid)
Not thinking it might bother him,
And yet, it seems, it did.
