Cats
A wild old cat lives in our barn;
She has three kittens
And they are wilder still;
They scurry underneath the hay
When VIC attempt to coax them up
Or give them milk:
She's teaching them to capture mice
And birds;
They will grow up into wild old cats
And never know
How good hearth rug is, or patted fur.
OF course annoyed
cat should be subservient to man;
But they silly things
And seem greatly to desire
Just to be cats.

Citizens Being Misled

During the last four years many
features in the city's life and admins
tratlOn have been slowly, conserva-
lively. but surely, withdrawn from
strictly political action. This is no.
tably true Of the administration of
the Health Department, the Depart
ment of Correction, Of Charities, in
deed of all those divisions Of city gov
ernmen; that most directly affect the
public welfare. If these measures are
again thrown back into politics, made
subject TO political Office holding, the
excuses for jobs under the patronage
system, ! believe the social progress
Of the city will be set back for a period
covering many more than four years.
That is why the women Of New
York must get together in this cam
paign, and why they have so good an
opportunity to work. Women, more
than men relatively, give their time
and energy 10 certain forms Of social,
civic and industrial work. They have
the facts, and can tell them 20 voters.
They can do a tremendous task in
clearing up misconceptions, and I do
not suppose there has ever been a cam
paign In which misconceptions Of i'm.
portant issues have played such an i'm
portant part. Citizens who are really
patriotic have been m.sled by the bug

I'm HIS, says Peter, is what the man
ought to do who would live to see
good days, or good times. He is to go
out looking for peace, as man goes
to hunt game in forest; he is to
follow it up, run 1T down, corner it
and get it,
That is what President Wilson is ad-
yising the European belligerents to DO
get after peace and pursue it. He
says:
"The statesmen of the world must
plan for peace and nations must adjust
and accommodate their policy to 1t. as
they have planned for war and made
ready for pitiless contest and rivalry"
In the sermon this morning on Shat
tered Illusions" pointed out that all
the things we have thus far depended
on to prevent war and conserve peace
have broken down. The coming OF
the war has proved them all to be
mere illusions.
Is there then no way to permanent
peace? l believe there is, and I think
that President Wilson in his recent
plea for peace has pointed out the
way.
After / read the Presidents address
to the senate, said, "At last!" Up to
this time the attitude of the admins
tration toward the issues Of the great
war has been vague, timid, cautious
hesitating and uncertain. But these
words have the right ring. It is not
the utterance of a@scheming politician,
who is making play to the grand
stand, or of a mere phrase-maker,
who hides behind glittering generali-
ties, either because he does not know
his own mind or is afraid to speak it;
this is definite and to the point. 1t is
statesmanlike; what is more, it is
thoroughly American; and what is still
more, it is genuinely Christian.
Let us follow the way to peace, as
pointed out in this remarkable adj
dress.
President Wilson's fundamental
proposition is that there shall be form
ed league of nations, of which the
United States is to be one, backed
by sufficient military power, to
guarantee and preserve the future
peace of the world. The grievance
Of every nation is to be submitted to
an impartial international tribunal.
Two objections have already been
raised. Mr.. Bryan says that to en-
force peace by means of military pow
er is contrary to the spirit of hum
an brotherhood. IA
Mr.. Bryan forgets that the decisions
of our own supreme court, are backed
up and made effective by the military
power of the nation. That power need
rarely be called upon, because it is
there, ready to be called upon. If it
were not there, the decisions of the
supreme court would have but little
weight.
