message is so brief and yet so com
plete that It is not capable of misun-
derstanding or misconception. 1t IS
short but to the point, so much so that
he who runs may read.
So il was with his inaugural address,
which was a classic in itself.
He demands certain forms of legis-
lation, not in the name of the presi-
dent, but in the name of the people.
He calls upon congress to enact re-
forms that have been pledged and con-
Gacted for. The congress must keep
the faith.
He sets forth the platform pledges
Of the democratic party upon which
he, in common with the senators and
representatives in congress assembled
were elected by the people.
And without equivocstion or evasion
he asks that the word of a great party
so given to the people be kept
And congress will respond TO the let
ter, for We are getting back TO the
days of the real democracy when there
is something more than a title in pOli-
icai designation.
In name and in platform and in &C
ton the party of the people is TO mean
something under Wilson.
More power to the president Of the
people.

TIE ISLAND OF JERSEY.

Il Was Once Separated From France
Only by Narrow Stream.
There was a time when a reverend
bishop always walked from France to
Jersey on plank. This sounds some
what like q modern BlOudiu perform
ance. and one could imagine the crowd
that would assemble to witness such
a feat. In reality it was an event of
common occurrence during the sixth
century.
Existing documents relative to the
monastery Of Mont ST. Michael. in Nor
mandy, reveal the fact that the island
was separated from the French district
of COutanCes by narrow stream only
and that the stream was bridged by a
single plank
The inhabitants Of Jersey were com
PEELED to keep this plank in good re

THE TELEPHONE GIRL AT THE
TEST.

With the general calamity that has
aiken place in the flooded cities of the
middle west and with all the acts Of
heroism that have been displayed in
connection with them, among the
heroes and heruines the telephone girl
stands out in a good light.
AS floods have rushed over cities
tearing away houses, factories and rail
roads. and people have scattered he'll
Ger SHELTER, the telephone girl has sat
IN her tower and spread the warning
~ destruction and stuck to her post.
She has not ceased her work until the
telephone building tottered and the
spider webs Of wire have gone down
INTO the wreck and ruin.
A very pathetic story is told OF the
girl manager OF the telephone ex.
change In one OF the great floods of the
east several years ago The girl mana
ger of the exchange. with her assist
ants, notified everybody that they pos.
sibly could reach in the valley Final
" the young manager sent all OF her
crew TO quarters Of safety. while she
stayed TO ring few more She went
down in the destruction Of the city
and with the building in which the
eentral Office was located
Days thereafter her body was found
N the debris OF the city and the mud
Jf the valley, but the steel circle was
still on her head and the receiver was
a. her ear.
They buried her as they found her
leaving that steel frame as a halo Of
honor and glory around her head
In these many diASsters that hav,
followed each other in such rapid sue
session, We have not found any cas-,
where any telephone girl was wanting
either in devotion or heroism.
