The Goddess Of Liberty TO Uncle Sam.
(By Pearl Reynolds Dean.)

(By Pearl Reynolds Dean.)
YOU took our boys across the sea

Before you set us women free,
Let charity at home begin
To foreigners and rascals bold.
To Indians and Negroes free.
You gave the right of franchise old.
And sneered at mother, wife and mo.

At mock democracy. It's said.

old Uncle Sam has lost his head"
No, Uncle Sam. you were not fair;
Twas wrong indeed to turn us down;
The legislators sit and stare
While we go round for votes in town.
You make us bow our heads, o shame!
To worthless men of every hue,
Who cannot even spell your name,
And say. Give us the vote, please do:'
Two-thirds Of all the church of God
Are women, so they say,
Who'd try to vote to please the Lord
II they could have their way.
Oh Christian men. why blind your eyes?
John Barleycorn creeps in,
Unless YOU heed our ardent cries
And let the women in
An angry God on worlds doth frown
Becomes the selfish men OF earth,
Who brazenly their heads do crown,
Deny the sex that gave them birth.
The sword Of righteousness we'll WELD:
With all our prayers, twill not be vain,
Until the powers that be shall yield
To equal suffrage here in Maine.

expenditure of life and limb and treas

than instant preparation for another

Europe has been brought to the
verge of bankruptcy in money and
men, must every nation, together with
those of the American continent and
Asia, begin, the moment this war
come while paying the awful cost of
this one? Must every nation of the
earth continue to support tremendous
non productive armies, navies and
war preparation because no nation
can trust a few homicidal maniacs in

Heaven deliver US from that order of
peace, which the Kaiser. his imheclle
crown prince, the Satan-controlled
Bundesrath and their world scattered
imps of devilish intrigue are pleased to
term honorable.
Let US TALK peace and FORCE

dictator can disrupt in an hour ana
precipitate such an era of wholesale
horror and restitution as now prevails.

The peace to come must be a PEG
PIES peace, for no people OF any ma
ton would have ordered the atrocities

Can any American of any national

Can we believe that the PEOPLE of
Germany would have ordered air raids
upon helpless women and children of

Does any American believe that the
PEOPLE of Germany would have or
dered the enslavement of conquered

slave girls, the emasculation of such
slave boys before sending them back
to their despoiled country for Ameri-
