ED.-Why shouldn't congress kick
out that Socialist, Meyer London, the
only member of the house treacherous
enough to vote for our enemies?
800 STEADY READER.
There are several reasons, some po-
litical, some legal, some logical.
Meyer London was sent to congress
to represent the opinion and wishes
of certain district, which he UNI
douhtedly did in voting, alone, against
wariwith Austria. True, a congress-
mansits SUPPOSED e ako Seprescnt the
country at lar BE. but lit Is ting law;of
socidlist party .aFlaw that curses it
in the eyes of the vast majority O..
intelligent Americans, that it is the
Socialist party, first, last and all the
time, regardless of all else. London
voted correctly. Certain it is that
if he had not so voted, he would be
kicked out of his job; and equally
certain is it that, if congress goes
to firing its members who stick to
the demands of their districts, pretty
exclusively, We'll see a lovely pro-
cession of congressman homcward
bound.
But Meyer London is not wholly a
calamity. Most good causes are bet
ter from having a kicker or two. 1t
would be mighty bad if we all settled
back in absolute safety and perfectly
complete unanimity. London at least
shows US where kaiserism is and what
it's at. With the fierce little Social
istic boil on the back of our neck,
we are not likely to ovcrsleep.

RED CROSS CHRISTMAS.

There is a mother who works in
her home and her church for the Red
Cross who said that the highest points
of her life, and her deepest happiness
were the times her son, new young
second lieutenant home on furlough,
talked with her as they washed the
dishes together at the kitchen sink.
How it is these humble things, and
not the dramatic ones, that bind US
together and thrill US now! How to
those whom the war has touched, peo-
pie are not so much generals or
colonies, or presidents or servants or
lce-men or traitors or scrubwomen or
kings, as human beings; and
how the hope of carrying on what
thousands Of radiant youths have died
and are to die for, centers upon the
little children.
This is thinging in Red Cross ways.
For the ideal of the Red Cross Treaty
signed III Geneva by the delegates of
nations, is merely this: that every
suffering human being in war, wheth-
CT belonging to friend or enemy, shall
be sacred to the Red Cross. Yet the
symbol of that treaty is so great, that
