We've Got His Number

In recent article Of the above title
there was n misprint. II was stated that
the Emperor Williams age was fifty
years and six months, as he was born
in January, 1859. II will be seen that
this correction will make the calculations
correct.
A number Of correspondents send me
the following curious note also:
The word kaiser contains six letters.
Append the number s 10 the alphabetical
number Of each letter in the word, add
them up, and the total is 666 As fol-
lows:
X is the eleventh letter IN the alpha
bet; Join TO IL and it makes 116; A is
the first letter in the alphabet, with il
makes Is; in like manner would be rep
resented by 90. S by 1876, + by 90. r by
1876. These all added together make 666.
Those who are curious in matters OF
prophecy point us therefore 20 verse 12
chapter 13, Of the Book Of Revelation.
where il is said:
Here is wisdom. Let him that hath
understanding count the number Of the
beast, for it is the number Of a man, and
his number is six hundred threescore
and six"

The price of liberty, as quoted, is eter-
nal vigilance. 1t is more; it is universal
vigilance Nobody can be free unless
everybody is free
Which point | wish to sharpen and
hammer in
The trouble with most peoples notion
is that it is too individual
When each person does as he pleases,
has no law but his own will, there re-
suits such clash and confusion that in
the end the only one who gets any liberty
is the strongest. In carrying out his
will he reduces the others to slavery.
The only possible way for the many
TO get liberty is for them to unite so as
TO compel the substitution of justice and
the general good for the will of the
strongest.
This is the reason why the world Is
now at war with Germany 1t is because
German liberty means liberty for nobody
else-Belgium, for instance
1t is also the reason why the United
States is in the war. Some simpe-mind-
ed ones ask why we over here cannot go
along minding our own business and
keep out of the European imbroglio. The
answer is that there would not be liberty
in this country very long if there were
liberty nowhere else in the world.
German policy had already begun to
cause the sinking of our unarmed ships
upon the high seas
II also explains conscription, why con-
gresS is justified in requiring every male
between the ages of twenty-one and
thirty-one 10 take up arms.
AT first blush this seems q wanton, ar
bitrary interference with individual
rights. compelling by force even ultra
paclfists and German sympathizers and
anarchists TO be soldiers when they
thought soldering in this instance or SOL
dlerlng in general 10 be wrong. But
little reflection will convince one that if
there's to be freedom for all every one
must cooperate to secure it.
This also shows why democracy can
be successful only when every individ-
ual in it discharges his public duties.
Any group of non-voting persons in a
democracy is a menace.
All women should have full civic
rights, because women being dlSfran-
chised accept the protection yet avoid the
responsibilities Of government Women
should vote. not because some want to-
but because all ought TO.
Slavery Is a danger TO any nation. be-
cause it makes a politically non-active
group Of inhabitants
Any group or class, for whatever rea-
son. that does not participate in public
responsibilities is angerous-including
slaves, women, the idle rich. the high
brows who despise politics, and the anar-
chists who don't believe in government.
And the same principle holds true Of
the world The world will never be "safe
for democracy" until the last autocratic
government is removed.
Liberty is boat we're all in. A leak
anywhere will sink it,

for having aSSeTteu lneh iibHN W ANf-
sentation in government.
They did wrong, the Washington Judge
found. in picketing the White House-m
seeking to get close to the president OF
their country TO call attention TO their
cause.
If party leader in Kansas deems it to
the interest of the party organization
that a certain party faithful be given the
postoffice or some other federal job, he
Is at liberty TO write the president and
call the presidents attention to his can
didate.
That is form of picketing that has
never landed party leader in jail.
If the candidate for federal position
has sufficient pull with the congressman
from his district, he gets the congress
man to go over to the White House and
SEE the president about the job, thereby
demonstrating to the president how he
stands with the congressman.
No congressman or candidate for job
was ever put in Jail for that kind OF
picketing.
If the opposition press desires to let
the president of the United States know
that he has offended the opposition party
by crushing one of its ideals, it says so
very plainly on its editorial page and the
editorial page is sent into the White
House.
But no newspaper publisher was ever
thrown into jail for that kind of picket
ing in behalf of its party's cause.
There are lobbyists in Washington
right now working against the food bill,
endeavoring to take the common neces-
sites from the mouths of working men
and WOMEN, but none of them has gone
to Jail for that form of picketing.
There are lobbyists in Washington
right now working to save beer and wine
from the prohibition measure.
These lobbyists are the enemies of
every WOMAN in the country, but none
of them has been cast into jail dungeon
for THAT kind of picketing
THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED
STATES HAS LEFT THE WHITE
HOUSE AND GONE OVER TO THE
CAPITAL TO EMPHASIZE SOME OF
HIS OWN DEMANDS, TIMES WITH
OUT NUMBER, AND HE HAS NEVER
BEEN PUT INTO JAIL FOR PICKET
ING.
But we hear the women suffragists in
Washington have resorted to disorder
and that they have broken the law.
This they have done if carrying ban
ners quoting the Declaration of Indepen-
drnce is disorderly and against the law.
However, what else has their govern
ment left them to do?
Has 1t not denied to them the
ORDERLY manner in which MEN may
register their protests in government?
Has not their government-their pres
ident-denied them the vote that is
mans privilege and privilege that saves
him the necessity Of going to Jail for
HIS convictions and the principles he
stands for?
Our government wants the sons of
mothers to go to war and fight for
democracy, which is all right and which
mothers concede TO be all right by CIV
ing their sons cheerfully to the flag.
But our mothers demand, for them
