Didn't Show Her Age.

Congressman John H. Stephens,
OF Texas. remarked while deliver
ing an address some time ago that
women can quite easily smile,
scrap, kiss and throw the harpoon
az the same time, and told the fol-
lowing story as an illustrations:
Recently a woman called on a
female acquaintance that she
hadn't seen for several years. First
came the usual fond embraces and
then they began to speak of the
happy past.

hostess an hour or so later, cit has
been nearly ten years since we last
met"
Yes. dearie,' responded the call
er. with a pointed glance at the
other. Ten long years! But you
don't show your age one bit"
DO you really and truly think
so. Sarah?'' was the delighted re-
toinder Of the hostess
Il know it. dear" was the posi-
tive response of the other. when
you went to the kitchen a few min
utes ago I noticed that you had

What Are We Fighting For!

what Is America lighting for?" con-
tinues to interrogate the preparations
of this country for war. despite the
several documents that President Will
son has put forth in efforts to state
our aims in answer to our foes, our
allies and Intermediates.
II there Is one today who Is sincere
in not seeing the clarity Of the Presi-
dents message to the world he might
well ponder over the aims stated by
Lord Northcliffe in the latest issue OF
Current Opinion.
That our understanding Of our own
aims should be hazy is but natural,
for. according to Lord Northcliffe. the
same feeling Of misunderstanding has
pervaded every country that has been
drawn into the world conflict. But
though Individual standards may not
be obvious. there is a unanimity OF
opinion that "Kultur" must be
crushed.
| In putting forth the reasons for
Americas entrance into the war. Lord
Northcliffe emphasizes the fact that
''to make world safe for democracy
is not the basic slogan which we are
upholding. In his own words:
'If this country had meant to take
up arms in defense of British or
French interests, or in the interest OF
Belgium, or in order to spread democ-
racy, 1t would not have waited until
April, 1911. II its aims had been COM
mercial, 1t would have been in the
war long ago. The motive which
brought the United States In was not
sympathy with any other nation, was
not desire for gain, was not an abb
stract fondness for democratic as op-
posed to autocratic government; 1T
WAS SELF INTEREST, SELF =
PRESERVATION. SELF RESPECT.
The American people are not fighting
to make the world safe for democracy,
but to make the world SAFE FOR
THEMSELVES"
There are many idealists who will
resent the allegation that America is
not moved solely by the altruistic mo-
tiyes Of making the world safe for
democracy. and there is probably
weight in their resentment, yet 1t is
highly probable that Lord Northcline
has touched q vital spark OF reasoning
in making our defense. or. rather, our
voluntary explanation, that Of self
defense.
And yet 1t is reasonable to assume
that the famous Englishman Is speak
ing from the viewpoint Of last April in
his definition. II permitted We would
add to his article that our causes of
self-defense have since been blended
into the very spirit which he braveIy
discounts, that Of making the world
safe for democracy"

Protect Your Business.

When a man advertises to Buy q
motor truck now," the skeptical at.
tribute 1t to desire to be rid Of sur.
plus stock. Somehow some people at
tribute selfish interests to the best
meant advertising. and in consequence
results are hampered by a failure to
realize true conditions.
Many manufacturers Of motor trucks
make an appeal in this issue-for
trade. The Herald has studied the
situation to a sufficient extent to ad-
wise the immediate acceptance of the
offer made. In six months from now,
We believe, it will be well nigh i'm
possible to buy a new motor truck
and expect delivery. This will mean
poor choice and loss of business unless
you are adequately protected.

MAINE RESULT AND SUFFRAGE
Writer Says Picketing Did Not Ef-
feet Late Election.

Editor The Washington Herald:
In commenting upon the defeat
of suffrage in Maine. many have
put the blame upon the picketing
at the White House. 1t has been
said that the organization which
conducts the picketing is a very
small portion of the women who are
working for suffrage in this coun-
try.
There Is a proverb that runs
about this way, THE fathers have
eaten sour grapes and put the chill
dren's teeth on edge" The so-call-
ed Woman's Party is the child of
the National Suffrage organization,
and it looks as though the child
was only putting into practice the
preaching of the parent association.
Mrs. Gait, the present head of the
parent body, said, IF the Constitu-
tion prevents our enfranchisement,
L say tear it into shreds and make
a new one"
in Toronto. Canada, May IL, 1--WE
had better blot out the mote from
our own eyes before we want to
blot it out from the Prussians'
eyes" Also You can never tell
when you are going to have an hon
est election in the United States.
Susan B. Anthony, the second
president of the Suffrage Associa-
tion. was quoted by the Rev. Anna
Shaw in 1913, at the convention in
Washington, as having said There
are two methods of warfare, the
civilized and the barbarous. The
hatchet is the weapon of barbarism,
the ballot is the weapon of civili-
zation. If they continue to deny
the weapon of civilization they
need not wonder If she resorts to
barbarism."
No doubt the picketing has lost
votes for the suffrage cause, but
on the other hand 1t may have made
some. as there are people who ad-
mire the way these women have
done. had the courage of their con-
victions.
: 1t was in Maine just as It has
been in other States where suffrage
was turned down, where we edu-
cate we win. Where the men know
the women do not want the franz
chise, they vote against it. In other
words, the women through the
votes of the men, decide against the
minority. forcing their will upon
the majority.
The United States is fighting for
democracy In other countries, but
the suffragists are doing all in their
power to keep democracy out Of

The SCHOOL OF SORROW.

I sat in the school of sorrow;
The Master was teaching there,
But my eyes were dim with weeping
And my heart oppressed with care.
Instead of looking upward
And seeing his face divine,
So full of tender compassion
For weary hearts like mine,
I only thought of the burden,
The cross that before me lay,
The clouds that hung thick above me,
Darkening the light of day.
So I could not learn my lesson
And say Thy viii be done,''
And the Master came not near me,
And the leaden hour went on.
At last in despair l lifted
My streaming eyes above,
And I saw the Master watching
With a look OF pitying love.
To the cross before me he pointed
And 1 thought / heard him say
My child, thou must take thy bur-
den
And learn thy task today.
mot now may I tell the reason,
'Tis enough for thee to know
That l. the Master, am teaching,
And appoint thee all thy Woe"
Then. kneeling, the cross 1 lifted,
For one glimpse of that face divine
Had given me strength to bear 1t
And say Thy will, not mine"
And so 1 learned my lesson.
And through the weary years
His helping hand sustained me
And wiped away the tears.
And ever the glorious sunlight
Prom the heavenly home streamed
down
Where the school tasks all are ended
And ;he eross is exchanged for the

Fifteen States have turned down

have voted for it in that time. The

AS a result the farmer is going to
