WANT SUFFRAGE PICkETS WITH.
DRAWN,

Sensible advocates of equal suffrage
should use every effort to compel the
withdrawal of the suffragist "pickets"
stationed about the White House.
There are such, presumably, in the
Congressional Union for Woman Stuff
rage, which is responsible for this i'm
pertinent and foolish proceeding. No
one will believe that the President
will be in the least moved by this
demonstration. Probably he has done
the only thing he can do with dignity
in treating it with silent contempt.
His views on the question of suffrage
may be right or wrong; that is not
the point. 1t is intolerable that this
Insulting method of trying to set him
right should be carried on without
interference. 1t would be an outrage
upon private citizen and it is doubly
an outrage upon the President of the
United States. What these women
are doing is sheer intimidation, like
any other form of picketing. There
must be sufficient law to deal with
their pernicious activities. If there
ls not, law should be passed for
bidding them. The nation, not the
President, is ashamed Of the acts of
these deluded campaigners.-Phila

OUR CAREFUL FIRE LOSSES

The fire loss in the United States il
about $25O,OOO day, or an aggregate
of $3.50, 100000 year. Careful Obser-
walton from detailed statistics COM
piled on the subject shows that most
OF this loss would be prevented by
the observation OF reasonable precau-
tons, particularly in the direction of
more tidincss. SiXty-fye per cent OF
all hres take place in homes, and
cases show thai 80 per cent of all
nres are due to Carelessness, ignOr-
ance or both.
Inc 20 per cent occurring in homes
1t IL readily shown, would never occur
If persons had taken reasonable care
IN respect TO tidiness. Rubbish is the
chief cause, and rubbish does not
necessarily mean the accumulation of
paper and things Of that character in
and around buildings, but the unneces-
sary accumulation of old furniture.
magazines, carpets, supplies of all
kinds in cellars and attics which ac-
cumulate dust and lie there for wears.
What applies to the home in respect
to rubbish is true to q marked degree
in many business premises. Just a lit
tie thought and the expenditure of a
httIe time along these lines generally
would greatly reduce the fire loss. The
absence of fire eXtinguishers in the
average home or business premises il
serious omission. Careless handling
OF matches. careless use Of oil the &C
emulation OF oily rags and waste
material and a host Of small matters
like these are the causes OF a great

IN MEMORIAM,

In sad but owing remembrance of our dear hus-
band and father. George w. Caples, who departed
this life one year ago. January -, 1916.
Home Is sd. Oh God how dreary
Lonesome. lonesome every SPOT
Listening 4Or the voice Of father
Silent, for we hear him not.
And we often sit and wonder,
At what you would say,
If you only knew the changes
That have happened since that day
Once we had a father,
Who was good and true;
That were always happy.
Although earth's Joys were few.
Father sought out every pleasure.
Cared for US night and day.
And was father
In every word and way.
From morning until evening
Sorrow rests upon our brow,
Father has gone from earth to heaven.
We have no father now.
Our hearts are ever aching
Although smile each day.
For thoughts are always of father
Whom God has taken away.
The golden gates were open.
And a gentle voice said come;
Then we were left heart broken
For God called our father home.
Our hearts our sad and yet lonely
And our grief too deep to tell;
But time will come to memory soon
That we may with father dwell.

For something up above

The call was one of love.

When love lays wreaths upon gray hairs,
Who is it lifts their burden tolls their share,
Fulfills their trust and meets their care,

No one knows what mother has done,
No one knows of it all, till at last,
When her summer of beauty and grace nave past
Till her feet are weary her hands at rest,
And we come with wreath for her tender
breast.
No one knows all her trouble and care,
No one knows what she's had to bear,
No one knows till she's entered in,
All that she's suffered and all she's given;
Not for the glory of life and its din
But Just for her little sweet place in heaven.
No one knows till her work 10 Ger.
