Washington, March 27.-Presi-
dent Wilson has issued the fol-
lowing appeal to the nation to
help the sufferers in the Ohio
and Indiana floods:
The terrible floods in Ohio
and Indiana have assumed the
proportions of a national calamity.
The loss of life and the infinite
suffering involved prompt me to
issue an earnest appeal to all who
are able, in however small a way,
to assist the labors of the Amen-
can Red Cross to send contrlbu-
tions at once to the Red Cross at
Washington. or to the local treas
urers of the society. We should
make this a common cause. The
needs of those upon whom this
sudden and overwhelming dis.
aster has come should quicken
every one capable of sympathy
and compassion to give immedl-
ate aid to those who are laborlng
to rescue and relieve.

At a meeting of the trustees Of

and very favorably commented
upon.
We wish to congratulate you up
on the strong and outspoken stand
which you have taken in connection
with the Dillingham; bin. which
ought to be defeated in the senate
or vetoed by President Taft. 1t

this country. regardless of who and
what they We're.
A bill which will exclude a man
because he can not read puts
stamp of undesirability upon that
man. He may be a hundred times
better than the educated rogue or
anarchist who can read and speak
halt-dozen languages, yet the de-
sirable man who is illiterate is eX-
cluded and the undesirable fellow,
on account Of his educational abil-
tiles, is admitted. This is certainly
not good craftsmanship,
We hope you will keep up the
good fight for the benefit and well
fare of the country at large
With best wishes.
Yours sincerely,

No Lover Dares Tell Truth.


If a lover should dare to tell the
truth, and say to his sweetheart,
sally Ann, you are as homely as
mud fence your nose is too short,
and your mouth too wide, and your
eyes TOO small, and your figure
stumpy ana rat, and you will never
set the river afire with your wit,
but even so l love you and want
you to marry me- why Sally Ann
"ould shout a NO at him that
would sound as if it came out of a
megaphone. And she wouldn't
marry him if he was the finest chap
in the land Not she. She would
wait until some nice plausible liar
with slick tongue in his head
came down the pike.
It is one of the tragedies Of mar
rage that both men and women
marry to get their vanity tlekled'
and that matrimony SO often stops
the hand that spreads the saIve ana
pulls Inc puhNah' Inc man mas

months. They would toll in all the
other eligible men in the communi-
ty and she could have her pick of
them because it would please their
vanity to marry a woman whom
other men admire and desire, and
also it would stimulate their sense
of rivalry to know other men to be
in pursuit OF her.
Undoubtedly the reason why
many men grow tired Of their wives
is because this fIlip to their vanity
is removed with marriage.
They have captured the prize and
since, after marriage, nobody else
appears to want to dispute their
ownership in it, it becomes cheap
and worthless in their eyes Many
a neglected wife would find her
husband turned into a lover again
if she were about to be snatched
away from him. 1t is the knowl-
edge that she is his for keeps and
that he can't lose her that makes
him Indifferent to her.

initial experience of the success Of
being an attractive woman.
And she never gets over this feel
ing. Her vanity is always harp
with a thousand strings upon which
a man can play as long as she
lives. 1t is this that makes women
do fool and criminal things, such as
a rich old woman marrying a boy
young enough to be her son, or a
married woman wrecIling her life
and her family by carrying on a
Irritation with some man she really
cares nothing about.
Mans strongest appeal in court
ship is likewise made not to wom-
ems heart, but to their bump of
self-esteem, A man wins a girl by
telling her that she is the most
beautiful creature on earth, that
she is an angel, that she is a com
bination Of every grace and viz
tue.
