The Golden NUGGETS Of
D. m0Cracy

Out of the sifiing5 OF the streams of
national election results some golden
fakes of wisdom glitter. The most
brilliant one is that Western women are
on the political summit. We all know
how Eastern and Southern sections
have elevated women to impract cal
pedestals. Tie majority of women do
not know this, but the majority of men
are dead sure Of this altitudinous posi-
ton of womankind. This eminence ac-
counts for a number of facts. Why
pay envelopes do not reach the eleva-
ted lady, she is perched too high for
access! Why she is working longer
hours per day than men, it is too ia
tiguing to step down from the height
to rest and then climb hack again for
worship. Why she cannot hold pro-
perty in some States, not room on the
p.c1arious top. Why she cannot own
her own children-the shrine is too mar
row and the footing too insecure
Why her opinion has no value at the
ballot box, because angels on shrines
dwell in fog Of traditional incense
which adulation would becloud mortal
intellect, to say nothing of angelic vap-
orous mentality. But why speculate
further on the Eastern and Southern
angels? The Western women are the
golden nuggets of democracy. No pc
destaI attitude for them. Just govern
ment rests on the consent of the gov
erned. The Western men and women
in mutual respect for each other, placed
the ballot-bo on the pedestal, and to-
gether approached the symbol of equal
rights to all. Citizenship lowered over
partisanship in the West, and finer
social relation and cooperation pre-
vailed than where Eastern and South !
ern earth-mortajs still impose on shiv-
ering, mythical, overworked angels
the penalties Of law, devour their taxes
ana give them no rights in return.

1917 is destined to be one OF
most memorable years in the his
tory of the United States and il
the predictions of the Astrologl-
cal Research Society materialize'
Uncle Sans subjects will enjoy
higher average of general pros
perity than has ever before been
attained, with more new and com
prehenslve enterprises of nation
al and international character be-
ing launched, than at any previous
period in Americas history. Am
ong the many predictions made is
that large number of preachers,
teachers lecturers and writer's will
exert stupendous influence upon
the thoughts of the people in the
presentation of new and revolu
tionary ideas bearing upon reli-
gions, humanitarian and philoso-
phie themes which will shake the
old orthodoxies to their founda-
tions.

It took seven weeks to compile
the official returns of the popular
vote cast in the recent presidential
election. Wilson received 9,116,

more than he got in 1912 and one
million and half more ever cast
for any presidential candidate,

didates, democratic, republican,pro

and half million greater than il
was in 1912 and not far from half OF
the increase came from womer

ection.

When Mr.. Hughes voted the other
day the fact that his ballot was No. 10
was accepted as o bad omen by the
superstitious and the fact that he was
beaten for the presidency will probably
be hailed by them as fresh evidence
that Ii is good number to steer away
from.

sons for saying so.
The American flag has thirteen
stripes. 1t originally had thirteen

There were thirteen original colonies

After several years of careful study
by Franklin, Adams and Jefferson, the
national seal was adopted by Congress
in 1882 with thirteen times thirteen in
its authorized emblems.
The seal has thirteen folds in the
clouds on the observe side; thirteen
stars in the constellation; thirteen
letters in the motto, sc Pluribus
Unum:" thirteen horizontal stripes in
the shield; thirteen vertical stripes in
the shield; thirteen long feathers in
each wing of the eagle; thirteen feath-
ers in the tail of the eagle; thirteen
double leaves in the olive Branch; thir-
teen arrows in the talon; thirteen lay
ers of stone on the face Of the pyramid;
on the reverse side seal, thirteen lay
ers of stone on the side of the pyramid;
thirteen letters in the motto, "Annult

DON'T GET WORRIED.

II is 10 be expected that many peo
pie will be greatly disturbed by the
revelations of the shortcomings in
cident to the assembling of the Amer
lean army.
We expected some imperfections to
be sure. and 10 a certain extent were
prepared to discount them and ac-
ccpt the results of these mistakes as a
part Of the war game things TO be
endured, no matter how deplorable.
But this philosophic view will not
weigh much with the fathers and
mothers and wives OF the soldier boys
gathered In those camps where in
complete sanitary precautions and
sloWness Of equipment have caused
discomfort. sickness and death. 1t
is hard to take anything philosophic-
ally when II comes home directly to
you and yours. We sent our sons and
brothers to fight for us not to ignobly
die In the preparatory processes. Yet
such has been the history of mobiliza-
tons from time immemoriaI In
A'ii'H IhnN II mas bttH worse tnan
now.
There Will be some indignation, OF
course, but there need be no discour-
agement The nation has done won
dertul things in gathering and pre-
pairing this army. In spite of all the
mistakes, the process as a whole has
been one TO be proud Of. 1t is a mar
Velous accomplishment. The wonder
II. not that meningitis and pneumonia
have taken their toll but that they
did not take more. We learned n
great deal about army life in the civil
war. We learned much more in the
spanish war. But we must learn n
whole lot more yet before this war Is
over In the days OF our fathers and
Erandfathcrs We did not have the pre-
cautions nor the cures for soldier Ills
that we have now. These, even i'm
perfectly applied, are saving hundreds
Of lives that would have been sacri-
ficed under the old plan. The in
completeness OF these precautions Is
not TO be wondered at when we con
sidcr the speed with which this army
was assembled, and We can only Won
der that So many Of them get their
clothes and equipment I'm such a
short time ana that so much was
done TO preserve their health and
strength.

QUITE A DIFFERENT NATTER.

Harow's Weekly, in AN otherwise
commendable review Of the growth
Of mob violence in Oklahoma. indi-
rectly iufers that Tulsa has been one
Of tOse guilty Of this disrcsdrd Of the
ma jesty Of the law. The Inference
is. Of course. that the Knights Of
Liberty had no legal warrant for the
tarrine and fcathcring Of undesirable
citizens men whose activities were
a menace 10 the peace and patriotism
Of the community. at the same time
that their actual liability TO statute
ls very much opposed TO mob law.
II believes, notwithstanding the slow
ness Of legal procedure and the un-
certainty OF Jurors, that the safest
plan for amy community is respect for
law and dependence upon It's remedies.
For the people to take execution OF
penalties into their own hands Is for
them to reject the very weapons
which they have provided for their
own protection Fundamentally. il is
better for a dozen culprts 10 go un-
punished than for one innocent man
to be made n scrapcgoat for public
indignation
But the J. W W episode in Tulsa
was OF distinctly different char
acter from the ordinary mob pro
ccdure. True, 1t was done by men
who had no legal warrant for what
they did. ana to that extent Is de
plorable. hut It was not inspired by
fear that laws were uucnforcible or
that executives were unreliable. There
was no such opprobium cast upon
established institutions. The case
simply was that the class Of offcnsc
these men had been guilty of, while
amenable 10 existing law, was such
that their successful punishment was
subject TO long delays ana possible
evasion. While the law was trying
to suppress the evil, the number of

Russia's BolsheviH are now said =
have IN the back of their heads a
notion that what has occurred in Rus
sia can be extended to Germany. BY
fraternlzation and the circulation Of
millions OF pamphlets printed in the
German tongue the German armies
can be persuaded TO disband. These
radical Russians will believe any
thing. But what the effect of their
terribly demoraliHing movement to
Russia must be is to discourage in
Germany the very thing they ere talk
ing about, even II the Germans were
beginning TO think of something OF
the kind. Catch the Germans hurling
their empire into Bolsheviki anarchy.
They prefer the kaiser TO that; and
you can scarcely blame them If they
do. Russia has queered her influence.
