best policy is to place it in the hands OF some
Russian firm who will buy the wares at prices
agreed upon There should then be personal

see that the American goods are not left on

Goodby, Old Year, you teacher stern
In aim, and in your method most severe,
Yet every lesson you have made us learn
viii shape the story of the coming year;
How those first precepts of our country youth,
Though we have heard they were empty phrase
Are still to many men living truth
By which democracy must guide her ways;
You taught us not our friends and foes alone
But how friends hinder, and how foes may aid;
You taught us what ourselves had never known
Our strength; you taught us not to be afraid
But most you taught that freedom has price,
And comes but comes not without sacrifice.

ACHIEVEMENT RECOGNIZED.
We'll, I suppose women who have done
things" she said, have confidence that they
can do them again. So they try great many
things, and usually push them through. Then
after they've done few things they have
actual publicity value and their names are
worth everything.
"Inez Milholland is always a front pager, be-
cause her ideas are unique and startling and
her conclusions usually true. Mrs. White
house has her newspaper reputation because
she can actually accomplish more real work in
ten minutes than most people can in day"
Emma Goldman has niece, Stella Comyn,
who is interested in labor most of all things in
the world.
ooh, yes" she says that condition Is par
ticuarly true in labor publicity. We labor peo-
pie are dangerous, you know, and not very re-
spectacle, so we cannot usually get an inch OF
space when we want II.
But when we do present the big names we
get very cordial treatment from our friend the
enemy. Usually the people whose names are
used don't do a stroke Of work, and the peo-
pie who do actual service can't get line. But
those are the conditions and we must work
under them"
Mrs. Whitehouse was asked just how it feels
to be so sought after.
Were only asked 70 do more things" she
said. because we have been interested enough
in one thing to accomplish something. really
don't think the mere names arc so important
any more anyway. There are people who can
do things in spite Of the fact that they have
names. They are the ones that arc asked TO

New Years Resolutions for Sufragists.

Let us resolve to remember:
l. That we are working for suffrage because OF our
own convictions the subject, and not personal
favor to the chairman of some committee.
D. That no one else is ideally fitted to do the job
assigned to u.s. so we might well attend to it our
selves
g. That no one else will suffer any less in doing it
than we do they may talk less about their suffering
a. That as some day shall undoubtedly say

for suffrage" we might as well work hard

" Are Women People?

If the anti-sufragists instead Of spending so much
time and money trying to keep women disfran-

Perhaps it would have been Mr.. Wheeler
