The city man stood oil the chilly street
And the wind blew cold and fast
And the city man signalled trolley car,
But the motorman ran it past,
And the city man cursed and fumed and swore
As he shook in the wintry blast.
"Oh have a hope" he loudly said
THAT when have ceased to dwell,
On this earthly ball, it shall be my fate
To pilot car through hell;
A trolley car made of snow and ice

The Message.

new rubric of civilization has been written the
scroll of a new covenant unfolded.
The aluring phrase of last April then accepted as
the epitome of the single American am-"to make
the world safe for democracy'-has broadened into
new confession of faith, creed.
The Fourteen Articles of the worldprotocol drawn
m bv President Wilson yesterday in his address to
Congress- will remain to the end as the rock on which
the Allied nations will stand They will not be changed
They will not be withdrawn.
They are placed before the German people to ae-
cept or reject now they choose. Rejected now they
must be accepted later; nothing in mutsble human
affairs can be more certain than that They are the
irreducible minimum Of the terms which civilization
will make with the mad nations which have outraged
and ravished it.
Any American who objects to any of these
Fourteen Articles let him have his say at once else
forever hold his peace Speaking for at least % per
cent of the citizens Of this nation declare that there
is not single line of the Presidents program which
the nation would erase or do without if it were
possible, by doing so, to effect peace tomorrow
Belgium must be restored or else indelble stain
forever rests on the brow of the world; France must
have returned Asace-Lorraine, not the spoils of
conquest but because stolen goods must be returned
unless international law is to break down; Poland
must be granted the boon OF freedom; Italy deserves
of Austria-Hungary and the cruelty, down-t!odden
Christians under the Turkish yoke must have at least
the beginnings of autonomy; Russia must be saved
from asphy1iation, self-mposed or otherwise.
Are these the concern of America ?" the cync asks
perhaps Why not, pray? Is Limited liability" war
tenable any longer? Is the United States to remain
parochia and insuar the selfcomplacent opportunis
of geography? Has the time arrived TO pass up the
outworn dctum about "entanglng alliances" and en-
broilrnents in the affairs of Europe?
Truly the affairs of Europe affairs. Prus-

whether the germ of constitutional in their
land is to grow or wither-to show whether there is
anything more than cheap and hollow camouflage in
the show of new power in the Reichstag

Give Them The Vote.

Beginning with earliest youth-"too little to play
right through to age-Just too old to enjoy
things and mot going out much any more-of all the
pains of life there is none more sharp and aching than
the sense of being "out of it,
In youth few of us have escaped We have all wept

of the big boys. Some of suffered school-day os-

In play we were ignored in school entertainments we

that every human being, pater how happy or for
tunate at some time in his her career, has known
the slow torture of watching his mates at some game
of love- or work. or pleasure while he stands by-not

You may have noticed the contented smile of the
sweater and sock kntters of the present day. you
also have noticed the important air with which Mother
and Sister hustle off to Red Cross headquarters; or
the sefconhdent, pleased smile with which Mother re-
minds the family that it is meatless wheatless day
and she has created splendid substitute for the for
bidden dish. You have all these things but did
you stop think that all this air of cheerfuness,
self-respec and friendly, bustling activity among the
womenfolk means just thng-the newly awakened,
divine sense of being "in it,?
The United States is at war-and women Gin it !"
Too little have they been given part in the affairs OF
the nation but, in this hour of effort for the whole
people they are allowed decidedly important part

several decades and has been roundy scored because
