Lorimer in her appeal says: "The
martyrdom of Christians is as much a
fact in this year of the German Kaiser as
il was in the days of the Roman Caesars.
A Prussian Pontius Plate washes his
hands of the blood of a just people, but
the stain will not out, for Germany was
the controlling power in Turkey when the
Armenians were put to the sword.
Is Christianity a vital force or a Sunday
habit to Americans? Is the Brotherhood
of Man cant or creed? Is World democ-
racy battle cry or a catch phrase? If
we live Christianity, we practice Broth.
erhood, if we believe in Democracy, we
will sacrifice all to keep the faith. We
will save from starvation the remnant
of Armenians that the sword has spared.
Christian Armenia calls to Christian
America"
It's a strong appeal, but what a true
one These good quiet, home-loving peo
pie have been torn from their homes,
most of them put TO death or worse, and
those who have been spared are left to
wander in a desolate country.
The folder says: "All relief money is

to the American Consuls, to supply as far
as possible food, clothing, seed for future

Armenians and Syrians are anxious for
work. A letter recently received from an
Armenian who was a survivor of Erivan
saws: 1--WE decided that kind Of indus
try that would give the most handwork
with the least capital involved would be
the making Of socks from wool. We buy
crude wool this is taken to the river TO
be washed. The washing is done by men
who stand barefooted in the water all
day and pound the wet wool with clubs
made for the purpose 1t is hard, dis
agreeable work, for which sixty cents a
day is paid, and we have a hundred ap-
plicants for every position open. Then
the wool is dried in the open air, which
takes one or two days in good weather"
He continues, telling how the wool is
taken to the carding factory, where the
women work at it, and after much prep.
aration It is finally handed over to the
spinners. There are nearly 1000 women
who spin the wool and then knit 1t into
socks. They make about sixty-five cents
week.
In this Armenian Committee every dol
lar goes for the relief, the expenses Of
collection and disbursement being met
privately, so you may know what good
the women of this committee are doing.
with Mrs. Lorimer is Mrs. Bob Downs,
who is treasurer, and "a host Of others

TIME FOR RESOLUTIONS
Easter Is the Season to Start Anew
r and Stop Worrying Over Little
Things That Can't Be
Helped.

HERE'S just one thing for reso-
lutions to thrive, and that is at
the Easter season, when every
thing is starting anew. There's some
thing in the very atmosphere that
strengthens puny, timid resolutions.
For instance. suppose that you re
solve to stop worrying over little things
that can't be helped. and then wake up
on the morning OF the day you had
planned to make q lettuce bed and
put out your spring flowers, TO find
vigorous snowstorm in full session. Be
still for a minute and listen to that
redbird in your neighbor's cherry trees.

dash OF crimson joy, and he viii save
the day for that resolution. Suppose
you've resolved to stop grouching, and
then the brick masons and the carpen-
tiers next door throw things on your
tiny rose garden, and trample your
grass into the mud. That resolution
would snap like glass in January. but
just as it is being strained to the limit
now, q robin calls to you from the tele-
graph wire overhead: "Cheer up
cheer up-cheer upi" And you just
can't help cheering up.
Oh, you get all sorts Of encourage
ment In the resolution business st this
season. II you resolve TO grow in
mind and heart and soul, there's the ex-
ample Of the green grass that rises In
spite of rude, trampling feet, and the
birds that sing in spite OF the beating
spring rains, and the flowers that
bloom because Of rains and bufeting
winds. And think OF the help you

so sweet and tender and glad and
triumphant How could you help be-

son OF the whole year-the Easter sea-

Years resolutions are broken, or
even nicked here and there. why not

Easter clothes, and when you ar

ness Of life into your mind and heart

Fate Inevitable.

Harry Skunk. an Ohio product. who
has long been prominent in minstrel
and vaudeville circles, is fond OF EN-
ployfng his leisure moments in hunting
out characters and gaining odd side
lights on human nature.
At a carnival in a southern town two
colored boys stood near the edge of
a crowd that had assembled to watch
q high diver.
As the daring athlete slowly mount
ed a tall pole to a tiny platform GO
feet in the air, a brass band on the
ground played ''chills-and-fever" music.
When the diver left his perch.
plunged head downward into a small
tank on the ground, and "scooped" out
onto the ground like a fash, the music
broke into lively strain.
The colored boys held their breath
until the daredevil feat had been ac-
complished, then one said to the other,
as they turned to go:
"Some time dat BAN am gonna play.
and dat man amt gona heah It."

''Man wants but little here below"
He wants his meals cooked just right,
and composed of the particular things
he likes TO eat. He wants his clothes
kept in perfect order, and the buttons
sewed on. He wants to get up when
he gets ready, and then he wants TO
swear because he misses his car to the
Office. He wants to be cross when
he comes home and not have it men
toned. He wants to leave his coat and
hat and shoes just where he happens
to take them off when he comes in.
He wants his slippers right in GER
tain place where he can find them
without effort. He wants to put the
ashes from his cigar in the most con-
venient place while he smokes. He
wants to yawn and go to bed when
his wife wants him to go out with her
and make a call. He wants everything
as he wants it, and he wants no talk
about it.-Judge.

When Gov. Cox signed the presiden-
tial suffrage bill passed by the state
legislature, the women of Ohio were
given the right to vote for the President
Of the United States just as the women
do now in the thirteen other states of
the Union.
Immediately we ask ourselves why
this matter Of voting should be ques-
tion Of geography. Is there something
in the sunshine Of California or the rari-
fled air of Colorado that better fits a
woman to exercise the franchise than
the invigorating ozone Of Wisconsin,
Why is it that a woman living in
Ohio is entitled to participate in the
choice of our chief executive while .
woman living in Wisconsin has no such
right? Mrs. Katherine Reed Baelen-
tine, Tom Reed s daughter, reminded
the Maine legislature the other day that
il California for the last six years she
has been full-fledged citizen and voter
but when she returned to her native
state of Maine she finds herself relegat-
ed to "the humble class of lunatics -
and other persons held incompetent to
cast ballot.
In fourteen states women will vote
for the next President of the republic,
but by crossing an imaginary line she
may find herself unable to vote for
even the smallest official who controls
her liberty and expends her tax-money.
This state of affairs is too ridiculous
to last. Lincoln said the country could
not exist half slave and half free.
Neither can great nation like ours
exist with half its women enfranchised
and half unenfranchised.

which is trying to secure full suffrage.
It would be asserted that municipal suf-
frage had been tried out in Illinois,
had proven a failure, and had been
repudiated by the men voters at the
polls.
Tt is of the utmost Importance for
Illinois to retain the partial suffrage
she has already gained, for when you
realize that nearly one million women
voted for President in illinois at the
last election, the significance that Presi-
Dental suffrage alone gives women in
national politics is not to be lightly
endangered by risking renewal of at
tack on the constituoiality of the pres
ent suffrage law. Any bill introduced
into the present legislature,( or any
amendment proposed to the existing con-
stitution which has for it's purpose the
extention Of voting power to the women,
would again bring up the question of
the Legality of the law we now have.
Upon the statute Of Illinois has been
modelled all bills for presidential and
municipal suffrage which have been
introduced this winter in the legislature
in every state where the suffrage issue
has not been dealt with by referendum
In Ohio the Presidential woman suf-
frage bill has passed both houses, with
Governor Cox IS signature assured, add
ing twenty four more electoral votes to
the contingent in which women have a
direct voice. Last month North Dakota
| added five, so that now there are one
hundred twenty electoral votes in all,
controlled by the states where women
| vote.
With the winning of Ohio, suffrage
ceases to be westerly or even an mid
western issue, and becomes an accepted
fact in the eastern part of the middle
west. No recent victory for suffrage
is accounted of such national signifi-
canoe as the triumph in this great ocm-
monwealth.
When will the electoral ovtes of Wis
consin express the will Of the whole
peoples
When will Wisconsin join the cause
that is gaining strength every hour,
and do its share in the great fight for a
real democracy?

self-constituted runner-up in dialogues
on mighty questions. He laid aside his
cigar to talk with greater authority and
said:
F'This talk about woman s suffrage
is all right. I'm in the business where
I can see women getting the worst of it
all along. OF course don't own the
place but I do my best to hold some
guys down that ought to be leaving
most Of their change at home. I've got
wife and six kids myself.
"And say. The women aren't the
only ones to suffer--there s the chill
dren. Along with all this talk about
women s suffrage there ought to be
something wrote about children s suf-
ferage."
A few years ago suffrage move
ment brought numbers of women to
Chicago and some came to my hotel in
pairs.
One was a bit hesitant about signing
the register and finally asked the clerk
if she should enter her name with her
husbands first name or her own.
eff your husband is not with you it
will be entirely proper to write your
own," suggested the clerk.
She seemed light hearted over this.
