A FIGHTING CHANCE.

This leg-breaking bargain rush for
the marriage counter occurring all
over the Union shows what fright
full chances a man will take to avoid as
he figures it out, the fighting.
What do you think about the chances
of the girls who absorb these belated ner-
oes? The probabilities would seem to be
overpowering that they will freely allow
Friend Wife to saw the wood, glue on ohe
storm sash and elevate the ashes from
the basement for an unlimited number OF
years and then, when she begins to show
signs of age and wear, they will fly the
country with some other lady who has
been looking around for a grapefruit.
In the good old days the American slack
er could go to Canada and the Canadian
s.ackers have been mercifully enabled to
come here, but now this friendly inter
change has its obvious dangers. No grim
90, Yankee or Canuck, is safe IN. Mexico.
The only state that is left is the state OF
Matrimony and in that weak man has
his woes.

temper of the country he need concede
nothing to the party machines. He can
pick his men without respect to the poll
ticians. He has only to say publicly that
the needs of the nation demand the best
service available, and public opinion will
deal with attempts by Congress or any
special interest to clutter up the govern
ment and lame it. The Presidents duty
is to free himself from the worries OF ad-
ministrative routine, so that he may be
able to devote his entire attention to the
great work of shaping the larger outlines
of policy.
"If that is done there is no need to fear
for the future. Mr.. Wilson is today the
most liberal statesman in high office, and
before long he is likely to be the most
powerful. He represents the best hope
in the whole world. He can go ahead ex-
ultingly with the blessings of men anc

NOT TRUE TO TYPE.

WYE protest, with all the vigor of
NJ which we are possessed, to GER
w tain editors, including Mailer of
Springfield, Churchill of Window, and
Reynolds of Mankato, using such express
sions as "true to her sex" "just like a
woman" etc., in writing of jeanette Rank
ms failure to make good on the occasion
of her first vote in Congress.
We don't object to the unchivalrous un-
gallantry of such remarks-the day has
gone by woman hides behind her sex
and expects man to be kind or courteous
just because she is feminine Any woman
who expects such treatment for such a
reason will be disappointed and deserves
to be.
What we object to is the arbitrary un-
truth and injustice Of such misstatements.
By the same sign, LaFollette was true
to his SEX" "Uncle Ned Bragdon of Min
neapolis infamy is "Just like man, and
all the other multitude of male offenders
against what we think is right, "do as
we'll as can be expected of men," And
Just how well would the above mentioned
gentlemen and their coterie like sharing
in all misdemeanors of other men?
In our opinion Miss Rankin showed a
lack of strength and a lack of American,
ism in shedding tears and refusing her
support to the President. But the mat
ter of her being woman had no more to
do with these lacks than had the fact that
she comes from Montana, the fact that
she has red hair or the fact that she is
thirty-six years old and unmarried-this
later fact being somewhat cruelty com
mented on by A. M. Welles, who forgets
the old adage about people in glass houses
We admit Miss Rankin is woman, but
we defy anyone to prove by history, lit.
erature or science, that Woman is a Miss
Rankin.
Apologies from erring editors will now
be accepted by the women of the Second
Congressional District.

CONFINEMENT


Contentment you ask?-
To have somebody love you,
Someone to smile when you open the door
To think the world better just because
of you,
Sunshine or rain,
The less or the more.
Contentment you ask?-
To rise in the morning,
And love this old Earth-you're piece
of it's clay,
And, however humble, the rose OF the
garden
Has no more OF Sun
Than the weed of the way.
Contentment you ask?-
To wear the old jacket,
Knowing the heart that it covers is true
To take the small piece and have it taste
sWeeter
Because you divide it
With one who loves you.
Howard P. Sanders.

OUR DEBT TO WILSON.

IRON one of the strongest articles on
the present crisis that we have yet
read, we take the following para
graphs which closed an editorial entitled
"The Great Decision appearing in The
New Republic for April Z
'It is fearful thing to lead this
great, peaceful people into war, into
the most terrible and disastrous of
all wars, civilization itself seeming to
be in the balance. Pres. Wilson.
For having seen this and said it, for
having selected the moment when the is
sue was so Gear, for having done so much
through the winter to make the issue
clear, our debt and the worlds debt to
Woodrow Wilson is unreasonable. Any
mediocre politician might have gone to
war futilely for rights that in themselves
cannot be defended by war. Only states
man who will be called great could have
made Americas Intervention mean so
much to the generous forces of the world,
could have lifted the inevitable horror of
war into deed SO full of meaning. Other
men have led nations to war to increase
their glory, their wealth, their prestige.
No other statesman has ever so clearly
identified the glory of his country with
the peace and liberty of the world
MT. WILSON mas created an opportunity
which is without parallel He can mean
more to the happiness of mankind than
any one who ever addressed the world
Through force of circumstances and thru
his own genius he has made it practical
possibility that he is to be the first great
statesman to begin the better organiza-
tion of the world. It is a task to which
he can give himself without stint or scrup-
le, to which he can subordinate every
thing else. He can afford to use himself
absolutely for this work alone.
The business of mobilizing the nation
he can put into expert hands, for it would
be waste if he permitted himself to be
swallowed up in the multitude of details
which will confront him. In the present
The Redwood gazette., 1917-04-18
FIGHT is RIGHT.

The Kitchins and the Dents, the An
thongs and the Lundeens, are heavy
handicap to Congress, but we believe there
is enough patriotism and judgment there
to leaven the whole body in these peri
lous times. But it looks as if the Presi-
dent, whose hands are full enough as it
is, will have to fight for the measures he
sorely needs Minneapolis Journal.

BUT THEY WON'T.

Readers of the Menace should not

patriotism by Illuminating the U. S. flag

SHOOT TO KILL.

With Grant and Stonewall Jackson we
believe in making war just as effective,
just as destructive, just as decisive as it
can be made. Those who are not willing
to subscribe to policy of determined, ef-
fective, and if necessary, eXterminating
war, have no business to advocate or en-
ter any war-Minneota Mascot.
