PARDONED!

WE ARE not in sympathy with the
w picketing Of the White House. We
can understand the enthusiasm of the
women who have engaged in the practice,
but we are confident that it is bad judg.
ment at this time to heckle the President
and revive the tactics which delayed so
long the triumph of the cause in Great
Britain. On the other hand, we applaud
the sagacity of the President in pardon.
Ing the women recently arrested, and we
are earnestly hopeful that he will find
II possible to put his great influence and
authority behind the movement for the
national emancipation of women.
His international reputation for Justice
and fair dealing and his championship
before the world of true democracy must
urge his assistance in accomplishing the
complete democratization of the United
States.

HOning for Home

My heart is sick for Philly Town,
I've been so long away:
I care not II the skies be dull
And fogs hang thick and gray
Though other skies be clear and blue
And other airs be bland.
I long to breathe the breeze that blows
Where philly rooftrees stand.
Through weary days, across the foam,
The voice of philly calls me home
The busy streets of Philly Town
Are lanes of dream to me:
The murky. trafiic-cluttered Hall
A stretch in Already.
To hear the autos rumbling by,
To catch the city's roar,
Would seem like music of the spheres
If | were back once more
And over sea and hill and plain,
Old Philly calls to me again.
To see the sun como breaking out
Would make my heart grow warm,
To see n Philly coppers face
Above his uniform
Would be vision Of delight
Beyond all joys l knoWy
Oh! Philly holds me in it's spell
And will not let me go!
Through the days. across the foam,
The voice of Philly calls me home.

the immediate construction of the great

Il gather from an item in pamphlet
put out by the vestry of Old Swedes'
Church, at Swanson and Christian streets,
that the original name of Philadelphia
was 'Wicacoa,'" writes D. f. r. A mis-
understanding, perhaps, for the folks in
charge of Old Swedes have their historical
data pretty well in hand. What the
pamphlet meant to say land probably
did say if properly interpreteO was that
the church was established at the Swed-
ish colony of Wicacoa Tor Wiccaco, or
Weccacoe), which later was absorbed by
the town laid out by Penn in 1852.
