Helping
St. Valentine

Up RAVE you forgotten about St
Valentines day? 1t Is coming,
you know. OF course you can
not really have forgotten, with
all the foolish, sentimental, happy
things cluttering up the show windows,
but you may have forgotten that St.
Valentines day Is something more than
window display and that you are q
part Of 1t, says the indianapolis News
1t is no good saying that you are not;
that you had nothing to do With it In
the beginning and have nothing to do
with it now. If you have forgotten
and IL you haven't valentine stuck
away In your market basket, it Is dme
you were remembering
1t Is time you were remembering ev-
cry sweetheart you ever had and every
one you ever wished you had. 1t Is
time you were remembering every bit
Of proof you ever cherished that any
body, anybody at all, loved you. There
is no sense In being ashamed of it.
Living In a world without sweet
you would be q dismal sort of person
if you never had one-if you haven't
one now.
st. Valentine as we know hin is
very likely O. sentimentRlist, but he iS
a useful sort Of person at that. He
makes it very easy for you to tell
folks that you love them. and that Is
q thing that has to be told somehow
some time, although nobody La sup
posed TO know who Is telling IL.
OF course, like all senttmentaIists,
st. Valentine Is likely to make many
mistakes, and that L. the reason It 10

not quite so young, to be sure, who
sits at the end Of the table who wants

1t is sad thing to want valentine
and not get one, but probably a sadder
thing not to send a valentine at all.
And the only possible remedy for st.
Valentines mistakes is for everybody to
send valentine to somebody he loves.

Long before Rome was converted to
Christianity the youths and maids on
Feb. 10 annually drew names from
two sacred urns in the temple, Of those
of the opposite sex who fate decreed

also among the first to fall, mortally
wounded.

Tor democracy and autOcracy cannot
exist side by side. A state of war was
recognized by congress, and thus re-
luctantly we were brought into the
world conflict, after the president had
done everything that could fairly be
done to avoid the catastrophe. Now
that we are in the war we see, with
clearer vision, that 1t was Inevitable
that we should so in, for it is our war
as much as the war of England and
France. 1t is war to preserve our
rights and our liberties as much as
theirs.
Fight Is Universal.
1t jS now evident to all thinking
Americans that Germany must be con-
quered or else Germany will conquer
us along with the rest of the world.
There have been many fights for free
dom since the beginning of history,
but they were merely local, while this
Is universal. There have been many
wars for the liberty of q race, while
this war Is for the liberty Of all man
kind. Other wars have been waged
to free one people, while this war is
not only to keep ourselves free but to
make free humanity of every race and
of every creed. The outcome will de-
termine whether the world will be all
democratic or all autocratic, whether
government of the people and by the
people shall obtain throughout the
earth or shall perish everywhere. We
are at war with Germany because
there Is an irreconcilable conflict be-
tween the ideals Of this republic and
the dominating purposes Of the Ger
man autocracy. If our ideals do not
prevail, then the German autocracy
will prevail over US. We are fighting
Germany because of outraged Bel
GUM, invaded and enslaved; because
of France, unjustly and barbarously
assailed and attacked; because Of Rus
sia, just emerging into the light of
democracy and just freed from the
shackles Of tyranny; because Of Eng
land, from whence came our laws and
civilization, and whose early entry into
the conflict prevented that victory for

A Mistake

Adiutant General Stotesbury, appointed
by the Governor to take charge of the war
census. has announced that the work Will
cost one million dollars in addition TO the
amount Of $4,000 appropriated by the
Robinson bill. The extra fund is to be
raised by voluntary subscription and to
be expended on clerical services and the
rent Of headquarters. Both Of these have
already been offered TO the state. The
New York State Woman Suffrage Party
has volunteered 20 undertake all work M
connection with the census, by house-to-
house canvass, at its own expense, subject
70 anv supervision deemed advisable, and
to place its many headquarters at the gov
ernmcnt's disposal for this purpose. The
offer has been accepted and shelved-ac-
cepted in the same way as offers from
small groups and inexperienced organiza-
tiors.
We think this is mistake. No other
plan seems TO be as economical and efFec-
tive as the house-to-house canvass. Or
carnations should be chosen only for their
qualifications to do the work. In consider
ing the offer from the suffrage organiza-
ton the important point IS not the merit
Of the suffrage question, but whether a
competent and suitable piece OF machinery
could be utilized-one that volunteers to
take the census in the only efficient way.
This is no time to develop a new and costly
organization. The Republican and Demo-
cratic workers, though thoroughly organ
lied. are not able to give the necessary
tine to a rush order. The New York
State Woman Suffrage Party numbers
over 100000 enrolled members. 1t has
G.OO0 officers and headquarters in every
Assembly District. It's members are
trained in cooperation, and they could
turn a complete piece of machinery into
service for the state within twenty-four
hours.
England waited more than year before
allowing her women to help with the actual
work of the war, and has admitted the
mistake. Must New York get its expert
ence in the same laundering way, or are
the Governor and the Adjutant General
wise enough to Judge the offer from the
sufragists solely on its merits? If this Is
not done, they are taking the responsibility
of asking the people of the state to give a
million dollars uselessly for the formation
and support Of a new piece of working
machinery.
