Editor The World Dear Sir. English
women are denied the franchise by English
Frenchemen, German women are denied the
vote by German men but In the United
States, men born in as foreign countries
have been naturalized and three million men
born oO foreign soil are eligible TO vote
against the enfranchisement OF native-born
American women. There are thousands OF
Indian, Chinese and Japanese voters. The
secretary OF the interior. under authority
granted by the federal government has re-
Sfnty given the voting power 70 Ise In; n
men contemplate the indignities thrust upon
cease TO wonder at their indignation. The
revolutionists of 1879 fought and died for
less proyocation than the iniustices prac'
ticed against the women OF the United States
In this year Of grace, 1919. VIII men who
ask for federal aid for the eradication of boil
weevil, cattle tick and citrus canker still
continue to deny federal assistance to sixteen
million women when they ask for relief from
the disgrace Of dsfranchisementi
II is not necessary 10 neglect any of the
functions OF government in order to enfran-
chise women, but In the order OF their i'm.
portance the enfranchisement OF women takes
precedence over every other question now

w, When Trouble Come creepin' Round.
And your soes is thin
And your feet is on the ground;
There is no use to holler
For yOu It's goin to collier
when you are down and out
And your feet is on the ground
When trouble comes a creepin' round.
And your nerves are weak
And you hear such funny sound:
Then the landloard comes for rent
And you can't raise cent,
Every time you are broke
And your feet is on the ground.
When trouble comes creepin' round,
And your credits bad,
And you owe everybody In town;
Then It's up 10 you TO rustic
For you've got to got out and hustle
Whether You are sick or well
And your feet is on the ground.
When trouble comes a creepin' round,
And your spirits are low
And Job you have not found;
Then you begin TO go mad,
And your care is getting sad
When your soles are thin
And your feet is on the ground.
GEORGE NJ. HOLT.
