WASHINGTON. July 23.-The Ma

from Mrs. James w. Wadsworth, it's
president, to President Wilson, protest.
ing against the picketing of the White
House by sufrragists OF the Woman.s
Party. and declaring that tho sixteen
pickets were Justly sentenced to sixty
days In the workhouse.
"As a loyal American citizen, and a
lifelong resident of the District of
Columbia" wrote Mrs. Wadsworth "I
wish to protest against the wiIlful and
persistent disregard for law and order
systematically displayed by the mem
bers OF the National Womans PARTY
Your action in pnrdoning the SIX
teen women sentenced to Occoquan was
one Of clemency and not Of justice. IL
was proof Of your tolerance and
magnanimity. and showed your ap-
probation not so much Of woman.s
rishtc, as OF her duty"
Mrs. Wadsworth wrote that the sir
teen women went to the workhouse
rather than pay fine ito gain the
notoriety and publicity of such an
action. and then with transparent
mental dishonesty that Is almost in
conceivable in person of normal intelli-
gence. they advertised their martyrdom

bility of sunrage?"
Eight suffragists of tho women's
Party took up their posts beside tho
gates of the White House again to-
day. They carried banners with quo
tations from some of President Wilson's
speeches to Congress. but attracted lit
tic attention. and one special police

SEEN ON THE SIDE

The Nursery Quarrel.

The Nursery Quarrel.
The nursery floor Is Uttered and strewn
With the wreck of Noahs Ark;
Inc tears course down the Little Girls cheeks,
And the Ltttlo Boys brow Is dark!
They've stopped their play, and they stand apart
Browning. and ugly, and blue
For tho Little Girl knows that tho bad Little Boy
Can never be really true.
They had played with their toys for week or
more
The Boy with his Teddy Bear
And the Girl with her dolls and household things
With motherly tender care;
They had shared LIES joys and its miseries
With single and loving heart:
They had pledged their faith, AS their elders do
And had sworn they would part!
Then the Other Girl came from the other House.
And she put her arms round the Little Girl,
waist,
But she smiled at the Little Boy!
o the fond. alse friend! There a monster green
Took the place of the cooling dove.
And the Little Girl quarreled with the tickle Boy
Who was false to his Youth-Timo love!
Now the Little Girls doll Is in sad neglect
And the Tedoys abandoned too
For the Little Boy looked into eyes of brown
When his faith had been pighted to bluei
Now the cooling Dove OF the nursery
Has flown affrighted wing,
And the Little Girl weeps where the Little Bov
scowls-
For Love Is terrible thing!

Will the conference of the two houses of

the opportunity to show again his wisdom
by leaving the prohibition feature Of that
bill entirely in his hands? If it does it will
