and planted the noble American
ideal deep in the hearts Of their
children.
We appeal in the name OF those
women OF Revolutionary days who
kept the fire of freedom burning
in their souls, who fed, clothed,
nursed and inspired the men who
won liberty for our country. who
even fought side by side with them;
in the name Of the women who, in
the dark hour Of civil strife, were
loyal to the nation, and with their
great leaders put aside their work
for enfranchisement to labor Tor
the soldiers.
And, lastly, in the name Of the
women Of to-day, who, now that
machines have taken the work out
of our homes, have been forced to
follow that work into the factories,
yet have no voice in the regulation
OF the conditions under which we
work; in the name of the 100000
women federated in clubs that are
working for the upIift of human
ity; in the name of the mothers
who must send their children out
into world over which they have
no control-we appeal to you.
Justice gave you the vote. In
the name of that same great virtue
we ask you to give it to us.
The appeal was signed by Carrie
Chapman Gait, chairman, Empire State
Campaign Committee; Mrs. Raymond
Brown, president, New York State
Woman Suffrage Association; Mary
Garrett Hay, chairman, Woman Suf-
frage party; Mrs. Howard Mansfield,
president. Equal Franchise Society, and
Mrs. Charles =. Tiffany, president, Col
lege Equal Suffrage League.
There was a quick run up the Hud-
son 10 Claremont Inn. About 1000
suffragists, representing the various
Assembly districts of greater New
York, waited for the yacht. They car
ried yellow paper lanterns.
The first stopping place was l0ith
Street. Here the float, drawn by it's
four white horses, paused, and Miss
Wycherly, surrounded by her thirteen
attendant goddesses, read the appeal
for liberty" again. Mrs. Gait made a
brief speech, and then Mr.. Prender-
CAST talked.
zone hundred and thirty-nine years
ago" he said, can appeal for liberty
was made to the American people, men
and women. To-day another appeal
for liberty is being made. this time
to the men. for it is with the men
that it rests to decide the question
OF freedom for women What will be
your answer, men Of New York, No
yember 2? Will it be the puerile and
silly one that 'Woman's place is the
home?
81 tell you, and | am not speaking
az suffragist, that my observation
of women in business and in social
service is that they are every whit as
efficient as men"
That's right" said two young men
who stood below him.
For half an hour he spoke in the
same strain. George Creel also spoke
and then Miss May Peterson, an
American prima donna, who has been
singing in Paris, mounted the truck,
dressed in a huge American flag, and
sang the Star Spangled Banner"
Then the procession moved on, down
Riverside Drive and Broadway, stop
81 ing for several meetings, until it
reached Columbus Circle, where the
last was held.
Among the goddesses, who were
Miss Wycherly's guard of honor were
Miss Alice Carpenter, Mrs. Crystal

SEES WILSON PEACEMAKER
Jos. w. Folk Says President
VIII Bring World to Senses.

Charlottesville, Va, July 5.-Joseph
W. Folk, chief counsel for the Inter
state Commerce Commission, AT an
Independence Day celebration here to-
day referred to President Wilson as
the man destined TO bring the world
TO it's senses in these days OF reckless
slaughter even as Jefferson pointed the
way to liberty and happiness for the
common man."
This Independence Day has deeper
meaning than any that has gone be-
fore" he said. THE spirit that in
spired the words Of that immortal
document, the Declaration of lndepend-
ence, still lives and breathes through
millions of American hearts. If, un-
happily, we should be drawn into the
mighty conflict we would meet the
emergency as one, with a common reso-
Lutte purpose. The mission Of America,
however, is to uplift mankind not by
the bayonet and bullet but by holding
aloft those ideals reflected in the
Declaration of independence"

The Aristocracy of Words

The editor of the Continent, Presbyterian pub lcation issued in Chicago, promising that religion is not the cheapest part of man. and the appeal that needs cheap phrasing hardly be the best ousv the who resort to more or less vulgar slang in treating of serious things After plea for the recognition of the aristocracy of words, and calling use in the pulpit and in private speech, of the words which have right to good verbal society" the Continent critic says:
 "There has recently come to hand book meant in utmost seriousness by earnest man. dealing with grave problems of social order. Yet perfectly that part of it's influence will be lost by the readiness of the writer to -oe what in a smaller would certainly be called smart. He urges ministers to get onto their jobs; he patronizes Uncle Sam when he refers to the gov ernment; churches get down to brass tacks; all quit our monkeying.
 It is all quite comparable the easy way of a minister who calls out to that bunch of fellows in the gallery in the back to do this or sing that and who declares that at the 'eatfest next Friday night will all have corkng good time. and that the trouble with Christians is that they will not get down on their bones to God. and that he would rather giggle his way these, alas. actual quotations. This is what we mean by helping verbal interlopers into good ciey.''
 With the best of intentions the Continent writer has given familiar speech people an argument which they will not be slow to For, strange as it may seem the "aristocracy' is one with which men who make appeals of any sort to pop ,ar audiences delight to juggle.

LOSS CAUSED BY RENEWABLE DISEASES

Journal of American Medical Association)
 Estimates regarding the loss caused by prevent able diseases are always interesting although neces- sary general The smaller the area affected the more accurate are the figures apt to be. Professor Irving Fishers estimate in his report on national vitality the economic loss for the entire country at one and ne-half billions year is familiar to students of public health conditions. An estimate recently issued by the Minnesota state board of health shows the economic loss from death from typhoid fever in Minnesota in the last siv years to be s21 958 94O while the deaths tuberculosis six times great the loss three times great as from typhoid, or S66,5S3,320, making total Of S82 549 26O for six Vears annual loss of $14, 757O43 In making this estimate the following eco- homie values were used in computing the financial loss from deaths: Professional business men and farmers S500 skilled laborers, $3OG unskiiled labor CTS and domestics s200; married women $2OO; chil- dren under 15 years of age 500. These valuations are conservative and should represent the minimum rather than the maximum loss.

The most distinct gain in the ii cid
 of publicity about business. commonly
 known as advertising, has been the
 formulation and indorsement of codes
 of advertising by the leaders of the cal
 ling in the United States, Canada and
 beyond seas. Setting an ideal for ad
 vertising agents in general, and also
 for specialists in all the many branches
 Of the craft, the convention at Toronto
 aided a new day. Nothing like it has
 been as carefully worked out and au-
 thoritatively indorsed by any other
 group of business men. If in some par ticulars it seems too far ahead of the standards of the hour, and if 1t impos
 es upon the advertising calling much educational work to bring the rank and do not alter the other fact that the ideals now defined are wholly admir-
 able and that a step toward retreat from them will not be taken in response to the demand of practical" men In the field of legislative and legal action intended to put an end to fraud ulant advertising the pressure has con- tinued steadily against forms of pub licity that take wealth from the people and steadily drop it into the fat pock cts of fake" manufacturers and tricky traders. Federal, state and colonial statutes have multiplied that make il possible to enforce against dishonest advertisers the same principles of hon. or that prevail in ordinary communi- cations between men. The crusade against the printed lie is moving on with the best type of publishers allied
 with the advertising agents.
 The year has not been a propitious one, viewed solely from the pecuniarS standpoint, for journals to jauntily turi away advertising Nevertheless the encouraging fact remains that to ar unusual extent papers with ideals o ethics applied to sources of income | have discriminated against bushes: | that is commonly considered tainted. Certain forms of business that mak, 1 their profit from trade that does harm | to persons and to society have fount | never before. Moreover more newspa pers have come to assume the position of trustee oI guardian of their readers l interests on the pecuniary side, assur ing them of the reliability of the good !, advertised.
