They were not wanted any more.
I think that they are still lying there,
Toys and toys on table and chair.
And Big Sister and Brother have gone

were making an appeal from the suf-
fragettes for a little house committee.
Also that man from South Carolina
who said he preferred to give the
franchise to 10000 rabbits rather than
to the women of his state. President
Wilson, who is ever courteous, assured
the committee that it was out of his
power to recommend his personal
views, but only those points approved
of by the democratic party.
Then to whom can women come for
representation? he was asked.
well think the women are repre-
senting themselves pretty we'll" he
laughingly replied.
So to woman there is no court of
appeals, regardless of the fact that she
is held responsible for her misdeeds
and her taxes.
= Miss Gordon continued:
women, did you know that you had
not always had a soul and that it was
only accorded you by a majority Of
one vote? Then after a few hundred
years it was decided that you had a
right to your bodies, and a law was
passed prohibiting a man to beat his
wife with a stick larger than his
thumb. Then finally through much
strenuous efforts she was given right
to her own property and now the bal
lot. 1t is here; will you take 1t by
states rights or have it put upon you
by the National Government?
They tell you it will break up the
home. Do they suppose that our go
ing to the polls once in two years
and dropping in piece of paper will
break up the home? In Wyoming
they have had woman's suffrage for
forty-nine years, and they still have
real live men and women, and chill
dren. Furthermore the lowliest little
child in a mining camp is sent a
teacher for ten months who is paid for
twelve. In Alabama the teachers are
supposed to hibernate during the sum-

which have appeared on this page,

Window wishers, window -wishers, ev-
erywhere we go.
In front of every shop and store
they're standing in O row.
Some are old and some are young,
sober ones and gay,
Drifting in a wishing dream, as every
mortal may.
Mothers with their hearts OF love are
gazing at the toys,
Wishing for the gifts to glad their
precious girls and boys;
Women, women, everywhere-sweet
hearts, sisters, wives
Wishing for the joys they know would
lift their patient lives.
On, that every empty hand might have
it's fill Of gold.
And every gift the wishers ask be
theirs to have and hold;
And wreathed with every happy dream
an answer would be blent
Till all the hungry hearts might
breathe the blessed word CON
tent"
IT'S good the hapIess ones Of earth
who feel Dame Fortunes frown,
May yet a-window-wishing go through
all the streets in town;
For earth still holds its need OF gold,
despite it's dark alloy,
So long as we may dream Of things
to fill the heart with joy.
And Lies a window wishing play,
since all our heeting years
We're gazing at the great beyond"
and wishing through our tears,
But "over there" each thirsting rose
is kissed with blissfu1 dew.
And every wish will be fulfilled and
all our dreams come true.
