Bisbee daily review., 1918-12-03


 labors day after day, month after month. have made them fit mates and comrades in the trenches and on the sea. And not the men here in Wash ington only. They have but directed the vast achievements.
 Throughout innumerable factories, upon innnmerable farms. in the depths of coal mines and iron mines and cop per mines, wherever the stuffs of in dustry win be obtained and prepared, in the shipyards, on the railways, at the docks, on the sea. in every labor that was needed to sustain in the bat tie lines. men have vied with each oth- ed 10 do their part and do it well.
 These men can look any man-at- arms in the face and say, we also strove to win and gave the best that was in us to make our fleets and armies sure of their triumph And what shall we say of the women-of their instant intelligence. quickening task that they touched; their capacity for organization and cooperation which gave them an active discipline and enhanced the effectiveness of ev- erything they attempted; their abil- ity at tasks to which they had never before set their hands; their contribu- ton to the great result is beyond ap- praisal. They have added a new lustre to the annals of American woman hood.
 The least tribute we can pay them is to make them the equals of men in political rights as they have proved themselves their equals in every class of practical work they have entered, whether for themselves or for their country. These great days of com pleted achievement would be sadly marred were we to omit that act of justice Besides the immense practi- cal services they have rendered, the women of the country have been the moving spirits in the systematic man. ner by which our people have volun- tarily assisted to supply the suffering peoples of the world and the armies upon every front with food and every thing else that we had that might serve the common cause. The details of such story can never be fully written, but we carry them at our hearts and thank God that we can say that we are the kinsmen of such.
 And now we are sure of the great triumph for which every sacrifice was made. It has come, come in its com pleteness and with the pride and in spiration of these days of achievement quick within us we turn to the tasks of peace again-a peace sure against the violence of irresponsible monarchs and ambitious military cohorts-and make ready for a new order of found CTS of justice and fair dealing. We are about to give order and organization to this peace not only for ourselves, but for the other peoples of the world as well. so far as they will suffer us to serve them. It is international jus tice that We seek, not domestic safety merely. Our thoughts have dwelt of late upon Asia, European Asia, upon the near and the far east, very little upon the acts of peace and accommo- datiOn that wait to be performed at our doors. While we are adjusting our relations with the rest of the world is it not of capital necessity that we shodld clear away all grounds of mis- understanding with our immediate neighbors and give proof of the friend ship we really feel I hope that the members of the senate will permit me to speak once more of the unratified treaty of friendship and adjustment
