WHY ARE THEIR NAMES uNSuNG7

She spent her life as freely as any
soldier upon the field of battle or in
the trenches. Hers was a longer war
than any ever waged by nations. Her
sacrifice included thirty years of toll
in the trenches where she held the
wolves Of want at bay. If her bare
feet left no bloody tracks upon the
snow nevertheless she had her Valley
Forge. Thru all her married life she
travelled fighting and hoping as the
Ten Thousand sought the sea Her
every morning was Thermopylae.
And when the youngest child of all
that she had borne was able to care
for herself she lay down quietly and
not unthankfully to die as bravely as
any who died in arms at Balaklara
Why is her name unsungc
And he, all his life he battled against
odds that every day seemed over
Whelming. He rose in the morning
and went forth to struggle. He lay
down at night and planned how he
might hold the little fort another day.
His shoulders stopped with his burden.
his fingers knotted and twisted with
toll But he never faltered If his
heart failed he hid the knowledge there
and stood bravely in defense to out
ward seeming. Perhaps he fought at
a disadvantage because ne lacked in

fought. II he lacked other qualities
he had and kept the supreme quality
Of courage. And when he had fought
the good fight and the nom colnbatants
were safe and ready to defend them
selves he fell behind the scanty forth
fcations he had erected and main
tanned. Why is his name unsung?
Why? Because such courage and
such sacrifice and such heroism are
common, too common for every day
notice. We see the deserter and the
are few and thus noticeable. We over
look the unsung heroes of the indus
trial trenches because the trenches are
full Of them.
That Is why the common hero and
heroine of the every day war is I'M
noticed living and soon forgotten dead.
Trey are common soldiers of the battle
Of life, the armies without which the
captains of industry and the generals
Of society would be helpless. They
pass and others spring forward to fill
the gaps in the line. Theirs is not
the prominence OF gold lace or the
pre-eminence of command but they are
the foundation Of all success and they
are the hope of the world.

Our walls OF faith won't hold unless we
act,
God scorrs the pretext and He wants
the fact
This life were empty had it faith alone
Without the willing spirit TO atone
The bolts would rust, the doors of
strongholds fly
Had faith no fact with which to
struggle by.
We slip SO often in our lives Sore-veXt
By some misunderstanding of the text.
By faith alone We sometimes think
We'll rise
But God builds stronger ladders to the
skies
Faith reinforced by service deeds that
count
When souls grow weary here and seek
TO mount,
We cry repentance but do not repent,
And so the strongholds of our faith are
bent,
And suddenly some wind of wrath goes
by
And in the dust our dreams OF duty lie
And we like wandering children in the
night
Stand stunned and houseless in truth s

An ancestor Is a person who came to
ing a family tree and enjoying pri-
vate brand Of religion. Prior to the
discovery Of America by Christopher
| Columbus there were no ancestors in
this country to speak Of and there
was also al alarming shortage OF re-
ligion. In fact, there was not enough
religion to put into a pint cup, but now
all this has been changed. with the re-
suit that the unmanicured and soul
/, sick immigrant now has access to more
kinds of religion than there are differ
ent brands of safety razors.
1t was a very difficult task to be an
ancestor in the early days of the re-
public. The country was new and had
no modern conveniences. such as open
plumbing and demountable rims. Thou
sands of disconnected ancestors drifted
over here expecting to find a stable
form of worship and furnace heat only
to be forced to join the Plymouth Rock
church and fuss with the draft Of tin
stove. Many of our most cody an
cestors became backslidden in heart as
a result of this experience, and many
of them grew to be chilblained ag-
nostics, refusing to attend church or
aid in sending missionaries to foreign
unbelievers who were we'll pleased with
what religion they had. When this
occurred, there was a meeting Of more
devout ancestors and the policy OF
cremating skeptics was introduced.
Many American families preserve
their ancestors in a large bound book.
which starts with the "Mayflower'' and
leads up to the second marriage of the

SUFFRAGE, SAYS THE SUPREME COURT.

If the supreme court of Iowa is indi-
cative of public opinion and Of public
leadership then woman suffrage is a
foregone conclusion in Iowa. For the
supreme court is for il, strong. Note
that in the recent decision of the court
case wherein it was attempted to deny
the right Of women to vote the court
maintained the legality of votes cast
by women and even the dissenting
minority of the court took occasion to
boost for the suffrage proposition. The
majority opinion had already waXed
eloquent in favor of votes for women.
The point is that the women's votes
were counted and that even the dis
senting judge who wrote the opinion
was free to say that the majority had
nor a narrow view of the question but
had merely beaten the legislature to It.
The supreme court Is certainly in favor
Of woman suffrage. II its members
We're politicians instead of dignifed
judges some ultra suspicious persons
might imagine that they heard the
tramp Of thousands of yet to be voters.
But perish any such thought as that.
The right of the women to vote is
based broadly on the right Of the tax
payer to vote on questions involving
taxation. The supreme court then has
simply gone back to this principle
established in the armed litigation
which followed the filing Of a demurrer
when British tea stepped in the waters
Of Boston harbor. It will 3e recalled
by students Of history that the trial
Of that celebrated case lasted about
eight years and resulted in complete
establishment Of the common right
claimed by the appellant.
The decision was a boost for equal
suffrage. 1t is fair to assume that the
supreme court eXemplifies the beg
judgment and finest judicial poise of
the state: thus when 1t concludes that
votes for women is a just demand
under the law and in equity that opin-
ion must carry weight. The court also
has the advantage for itself this time
Of being en- rapport with public opinion
in Iowa Its conclusion is the con-
clusion Of the best elements of the
state. Certain interests are bitterly
opposed to il, notably the liquor iT.-
terests. the child labor exploiters, and
a few women most Of whom have been
sent into the state by somebody or
something opposed to woman suffrage.
But the mass of Iowa is favorable to
political equality and If the case is
wisely and actively conducted the YER
dict at the polls will confirm the
verdict of the supreme court.
Who knows what the future may
bring forth. Perhaps the polite Preston,
the gallant Gaynor Weaver. Laid. ct
al, and cen the elegant Evans may
sit up on the woolsack of that court
some future day, their austerity modi-
fed and their task lightened and
Frightened by the presence Of lady
Judge elected by the franchises Of her
sex. AS they say in Mexico where
there are no courts, "quien sabe?"

IhE MARK OE CAIN.

Senator Kenyon has introduced the
petitions for an embargo upon NUM-
lions of war. Il is a monster appeal
counting a million or more names. The
senator is sponsor for the petition in
so far that he assured the senate that
it was not a pro German petition but
a petition signed by christians for a
christian purpose.
Senator Cummins would confine the
making OF war munitions in this coun-
try to the government of the U. S. He
would not permit persons and corpor-
atoms to make money out Of wholesale
ate on Jan. 10 it made his position
clear when he said:
I desire TO say now, that in my
opinion the people OF the United
States ought not to supply any other
nation or any other people with arms
unless the government itself is will
ing to assume the obligation of war
and participate in the conflict, what
ever 1t may be. l do not say that there
are not circumstances under which it
would become the highest moral obli-
CATION for the government Of the
United States to aid q people struggling
against injustice and oppression.
It Is true that there are times and
circumstances under which food is as
necessary to bellfgerent as are muni-
tions of war or arms; but 1t Is not
true that the same policy which would
require the government to manufac-
ture implements or instrumentalities

| applied to the production OF grain and
