We repeat that the earnest women working for suffrage
should not at this time nrude upon the President Of the
United States.
They are perfectly right in all that they say.
This is and cannot be real democracy while twenty
millions of women have nothing to say about the Govern
ment that controls them
Every word uttered in the United States by any in
public office about government by consent of the gov
erned is joke and absur1ty long the who
create and give their to the army not al
lowed to vote.
WOMEN SHOULD VOTE and will vote.
But there are things important at this moment
even than JUSTICE ITSELF.
We are engaged in war; partly because the Germans
thrust upon partly because inevitable and there
other way out. WAR IS THE THING TO BE AT
TENDED TO NOW.
The burden of the rests upon the President. He
may for the moment neglect dozen important question
tmay be impossible for him to do otherwise.
No matter what he may neglect postpone the women

You have right to disturb him. he is the thinking

That being said we turn our attention to the so-caed

To every such man have this to say
You have down your back all along the back bone a

You are by nature a coward, for you attack woman
who in the first place not strong enough fight you and
who in the second place would condescend fight you

you haven't his teeth.

How About Conserving Lungs
BY Drawing the Smoke Out of the Baltimore Tunnel

The Government is telling everybody to conserve
something The railroads advised to cut down the meat
and the bread that they furnish customers and they agree
with happy smile They also cut off trains with another
happy smile And they take off Pullman car service They
May suggest one kind of conservation, namely,
servation of HUMAN LUNGS conserving that would last
after the war
Just how many pairs of lungs choked up and get
their last camels straw they go through the Baltimore
tunnel we don't know.
We could offer Exhibit A, left lung and right
lung heavily lined with carbon and much less useful after
each trip through the tunnel
Perhaps the United States Government would be in
teresed in saying to the railroads that the tunnel Con
the lungs that you send through the tunnel Find out
how much would pump the poisonous gas the

out the poison could you perhaps by spending little money

The lungs in the Baltimore tunnel especially i'm

that busy saving the country in the Capital Congress

We suggest bill for lung conservation.
We have doubt that ten per cent of the wise con-

Sooner or Later World Court Will Be
Created to Put End to Wars Horrors
BY SAMUEL T. BUTTON
General Secretary of the World'o Court League

The terrific cataclysm in Europe has temporarily enguled much of
modern civilzation-yet the submergence is only temporary From the
horror OF conflict civilization again will arise, and, by reason OF It's awful
su1ferings, more determined than ever to achieve some means whereby
to prevent, in years to come, the wholesale murder aud destruction we
are witnessing at present. Mankind then will remember that lasting
peace never has come through threat of arms as a last resort. Sooner
OF later a world court will come into existence, and we will have what we
do not have nova tribunal where the rules of international law may be
applied to all nations, great or small.
From this time forth there is no work in the world SO important as
that of making preparations to establish an international tribunal for
preventing future wars. A beginning has been made in the United States
and is spreading steadily. The program is gathering adherents steadily,
and it may be that the United States-a nation composed of peoples of
all cimes living peaceably togeher-wil make its greatest contribution
to the human race in urging the ideal of the world court as a substitute
for international butcherv and destruction.

THE NEW NORMAL SCHOOL.

The new Normal School for South
Jersey, which efforts are being made
to get an appropriation for, is still
uppermost in the minds of many of
our people and a number are working
hard for its location in Pleasantville.
The city government are doing all in
their power, and the public is waking
up to the matter. There is no doubt
that Personalities location is an ideal
one for such an institution-that is
admitted by some of the other aspi-
rants for it-but we think is is more
SO than any of them. The ease of
access for all sections cannot be dis
puted, for the three railroads connect
With ali parts of South Jersey, and at
no other of the aspirants do all three
come in contact. It's ~closeness to At
lantlc City makes it attractive not on
y for the scholars, but for their pa
rents as well; many of whom would
BE only too glad to have the opportu-
nifty of visiting their children and the
city by the sea at the same time. The
trolley connections are better thar
elsewhere, and the soil is of a charac.
ter to make the travelling passable al
most of times in rainy weather. The
atmosphere is of the best, high enough
from tidewater to be practically free
of miasmatic and kindred complaints
its healthfulness is unsurpassed.
Pleasantville wants the institution
and we believe Pleasantville can get
it. But to do so all our citizens must
take an interest and help to get it in
whatever way they can. As we sale
before many of them are doing SO, but
more are wanted and it is up to then
to offer their services and they will be
informed in what way and what place
they ear do the most good. To each
we appeal, Are you ready and willing
to help? If so, report yourselves to
the Mayor or any of the Councilmen
or to members of the Chamber OF
Commerce and those who usually take
al active part in local affairs. By do.
ing so, you will be pushing your home
city along, and thus benefitting your.
selves. A public meeting is to be helo
on the evening of Friday, March 3Oth
in the auditorium of the Atlantic Cit,
High School in regard to the subject
Make it a point to be there. You Ger.
tainly can help that much, and you are
expected to do so.

Political Pull Danger That May Lurk
in Compulsory Military Service Plan
By DR.. W. O. THOMPSON
President of Ohio State University

1t is a grave question, in my mind, whether in a democracy like
ours compulsory military service is wholly desirable. In my opinion, the
whole thing is largely theoretical. At any rate, there is no reason why
we should jump into such a situation. There is plenty of time to study it.
[ believe there must be some change made in our military system. [
am heartily in favor of military training, not for the sake of miltarsm,
but for the sake of good citizenship, and [ am convinced that military
training makes for good citizenship. If did not believe that, [ certainly
would not favor military training in the Immigrant colleges. Anything
that will make better citizens improves our national defense. The good
citizen is nearly always prepared.
1t is popularity supposed that Germany extends compulsory military
training to all classes Of boys, but rs a matter of fact Germany does not
go down to the elementary school. The Swiss system is a better system.
One great trouble with compulsory service in this country would be polh-
cal pull. l do not believe in any system that makes it possible through
political pull to exempt any class of citizens.
