On August 81, 1918. Hon. Add
son T. Smith, went out to Fairview,
Ohio, and delivered an address be-
fore the "Pennyroyal Reunion on
the subject of woman Suffrage and
Good Roads. He hurried back to
his arduous duties in Congress and
with the aid of Hon. Burton L.
French. got his speech read into the
Congressional Record. This made
it a public document and carried with
it the privilege Of sending il out with
out postage. And now Hon. Addison
T. Smith is sending printed copies
of his speech broadcast to the wom-

privilege. This procedure may be
the fashion Of the time, but we can
not but wonder just why a member
of Congress should 60 down among
the 'spennyroyal'' of Ohio and make
a speech TO be used as a campaign

THE TESTING



When l the dim beginning of the years,
God mixed in man the rapture and the
tears
And scattered through his brain the starry
stuff,
He said, Behold! Yet this is not enough,
For | must test his spirit to make sure
That he can dare the vision and endure.
II will withdraw my face,
Veil me in shadow for a certain space,
And leave behind only broken clew,
A crevice where the glory glimmers
through,
Some whisper from the sky,
Some footprint in the road to track me
by.
RI will leave man TO make the fateful
guess,
VIII leave HIM torn between the no and
yes,
Leave him unresting till he rests in me-
Drawn upward by the choice that makes
him free
Leave him in tragic loneliness to choose,
With all in live to win or all to lose
