An Invitation
BY BERToN BRALEY

Dear Lady to whom I'm inditing this ode
haven't vaultful of cash.
I'm no Wall-st. magnate whose car rules the road,
A whoop and a and flash;
But prithee, dear lady, forget all your pride
Let snobbery's sheer be ignored
Come out with me, dearest, and go for ride
In my little old secondhand Ford.
Let War Baby winners go scornfully by
In mousines purple and white,
If you're only with me I'm certain that
Will chug along merry and bright;
Let people in bigger cars laugh from above
Our spirits need never be lowered,
Well plug right along to the country of love
In a little old secondhand Ford.
So IL you are willing, well drive to the church,
Ga Ford beats taxi, by far
Then off on honeymoon trip we will lurch
In the same little secondhand car;
And after awhile, if the gods don't refuse,
Well have a new person to board,
And when he goes riding, no go-cart he'll use
But little old secondhand Ford.

kid glove between il and actual labor
and merits the gratitude and respect Of
the public.
But it has done nothing of half or
quarter the Importance as the stand 1t
took when it drew up the following
and submitted it to President Wilson,
Senator Smith, Congressman Bacon and
Herbert c. Hoover.
Whereas the government as a war
measure has requested the farmers to
increase greatly the nations food supply,
and whereas the farmers have an enor-
nous investment which we believe should
be protected from depreciation:
BE it resolved that the government
be requested to direct the distribution OF
staple food products, said distribution to
be based on actual average cost of pro-
duction and in addition a REASONABLE
PROFIT" ~-~-
1t is only resolution. one may say.
and a resolution sent by non-votipg wom-
en- at that, and most of us know ~ bitter
experience what that means.
But it indicates many things, chief Of
which is that the women of Detroit have
become aware of where the actual rem
edy for the food situation lies, and that
knowing this, they will act more and
more strongly accordingly.
1t emphasizes the point that whereas
backyard gardens are good and conser-
walton by canning excellent things in
themselves, the problem which is facing
the nation is one so vital, so enormous
that backyard garden to every house
would not solve it.
1t is the farmer to whom we must
turn for help; the farmer once more
or less looked down upon by smart and
stylish city folk who called him by the
foolish name ''Rube" and "Hayseed." He
is the deity of America and the world at
present before whom we all PROSTATE
ourselves and beg for life.
But the farmer will hear the call and
respond. All he wants is a square deal
and protection from exploitation by the
railroads, spectators, land sharks, high
taxes, etc.
No farmer ever wishes to leave the
farm.
Those you see cabined and cribbed
within the four walls of city house on
a 30-foot lot, are miserable and home
sick for their fields, their cattle and their |
outdoor life.
They have been driven to sell their
farms for summer homes for the idle |
rich, given up farming and live an aim
less life in small towns because of the |
constantly encroaehing conditions which
have Slapped the life and the profit from
farming and reduced it to a precarious
living.
Could all the women in all the cities, |
in those states where equal
suffrage Is enjoyed, do as the Garden |
bureau has done we believe that they /
would have glorious share in the set
ting of the food question and the high |
cost of living

An Open Letter To a Pacifist
BY Or. FRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1915. by Frank Crane)

My Dear Friend-You say you are
pacifst, you are opposed on principle to
war, and you cannot understand how any
one who has written as / have against
the whole war mania can be in favor of
war with Germany and the present con-
scription.
Because | know you to be conscien-
tious and intelligent, will tell you in
plain English.
l. AS paciist we are first of all In
favor of world government of some
kind, which is the only possible means Of
eventually preventing war. The means
most likely to attain this end at present
will be for the United States to make
common cause with the allies against
Germany.
2. No peace is possible with Germany
until she gives up the territory she has
invaded and makes restitution for the
wanton crimes she has committed. You
cannot make peace with~a burglar with
his hands full of loot.
8. The present government Of Ger
many, by the sinking of the Lusitania
and by declaring that she intends to COM
NIT similar crimes when possible, has
placed itself outside of the pale of civili-
zation. 1t has become pirate, and no
orderly government is possible anywhere
in the world until 1t Is destroyed.
4. Consumption Is right In the United
States because if country is in danger
1t Is the duty Of every man in it to de-
fend 1t, and no man should be exempt
except for good reason. The only way
to prevent militarism In the United
States is to raise such an army here and
assist the allied armies to such an ex-
tent that the German army shall be
crushed. The menace Of militarism lies
in Germany, not here.
5. The man who goes to fight IN the
army of the United States now Is doing
his duty exactly as policeman does his
duty when he shoots a mad dog or ar
rests a drunken thug.
6. To talk terms of peace now, leav-
ing the army of Germany in power, 3
really to deliver the world over to the
greatest organization of militarism that
was ever known.
Z. The people of the United States are
not going to war because they were or
dered to do so by some autocrat; they go
to war of their own volition by vote
Of their duly elected representatives, and
they understand perfectly well what they
are fighting about. They are fighting
for their liberty and for humanity.
8. If Germany conquers In this war.
or II the war ends in draw, tho pres
ent system of national militarism VIII
continue. The only way to put an end
to the rule Of militarism in the world Ii
to crush the German army.
g. There are certain people who can
themselves pacifists who are simply Of
that turn of mind which opposes every
thing, which loves to obstruct and to
make trouble These people can be de-
pended upon to resist anything that the
government may decide upon. I trust
that you win not be among this obnox-
ious number. Your country Is now en-
gagged in conflict that Is as righteous as
any battle ever fought upon the plains
of Israel To do what you can 70 assist
your country in every way-even il
need be, to die for it's your inestimable
privilege.
