Picketing the White
House Has Had the Effect
1t Was Intended to Have

Whether the Woman's Party policy Of
picketing the White House, holding ban
ners which tell only the truth, is a win,
ming policy or not, we do not know time
will tell.
The fact remains that since the crea-
tion Of the Womans Party, presidential
suffrage has been granted in a number
eastern states and fun suffrage in "a
number of states in the west.
We also know that the president him

of state rights on the suffrage question.
tho not on prohibition, and who has ccr-
tainly repudiated all idea of state rights
during the last three months, has recon-
mended that a committee be appointed
to consider the federal suffrage amend
ment
The picketing policy Of the Woman's
Party was adopted in order to do exactly
what it has doneAattract attention to
the cause which the president, congress
and the majority Of the voters would
like to forget, and give it publicity.

We've Got His Number
sY DR.. FRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1915. by Frank crane)

There's no use of Mr. Hohenzollern
carrying on any further. really He has
only a few months to run. His date is
set.
We've got his number That's why.
A friend of mine who is strong on
prophecy has been rummaging around
in the oracles and has found out Just who
William X. Hohenzollern is, and why.
Also when he is going to get his.
There are few things you cannot prove
by the Scriptures, if you set yourself to
it, When | was boy the Milerites had
the time of the end Of the world all fig
ured out. On the day fixed they settled
up their worldly affairs and adjourned
to a hill where they could have front
seats when the Day of Judgment opened
up. They were thus at a great advan-
tage over the unbelievers who went on
with their chores as per usual.
TIL affair did not come Off according to
schedule. but that was no fault of theirs.
They had used the wrong timetable.
There is a sect also that predicted the
end Of the world in 1914, and knew
man who sold his farm in Illinois and
went out to Colorado to be ready for the
grand smash-up These believers came
pretty close TO making a good guess, too.
If il wasn't the Day of Judgment that
hit US in 1914 it was a little too much
like it for comfort.
But to return to Mr.. H. Ny friend
writes me and says that if we will read
the fourth, fifth and eighteenth verses
Of the thirteenth chapter of Revelation
we will-fnd out just where William the
Terrible is going to get Off These verses
run as follows tin case you do not have
your Bible handy:
Fourth-And they worshpped the
dragon which gave power unto the
beast and they worshipped the
beast, saying: Who is ike unto the
beast? Who is able to make war
with him?
Fifth-And there was given unto
him a mouth speaking great things
and blasphemies, and power was Civ
en- unto him to continue forty and
two months.
Eighteenth-Here is wisdom Let
him that hath understanding count
the number of the beast; for it is
the number of man and his num-
her is six hundred threescore and
six.
Now when the war started William
was fifty years and six months old.
That is, SOS monthsl
Figures cannot lie. You cannot es-
cape the conclusion that the original and
only genuine 500 is Mr.. Hohenzollern, be-
cause he is so feelingly and fifty describ-
ed in verses four and five.
He is going to last for forty-two
months There is therefore no need Of
specultinQ as to when the war will end
II began in August, 1914. and it will
close in just forty-two months from that
time-that is, in February, 1918, for it
plainly says in verse five that power was
given TO the beast to continue forty and
two months.

ever suited US best.
We are not saying that those were
better times, or that food was cared for
with the same scrupulous attention TO
sanitary ideals.
But we DO say that they were cheap
er times and that more people per cubic
yard had food enough to fill their stom-
achs than have now, and perhaps the
insanitariness of those days is more
than equaled by the inanition, caused by
lack of food. which looks at US now from
a thousand faces.
With the best intention imaginable, we
made laws and regulations which boxed,
bottled and sealed most of our food sup
plies in fancy boxes, bottles and pack

With the best intention, butchers
wrapped their meat in paratine paper and
next in more papers sufficiently good for
the most dainty and delicate dry goods.
This is all very fine and we have be-

whatever, forgetting that we, ourselves,
have paid just that much extra for this
waste material and that We are throw

We are luxury-loving people, and we
