Two Notable Desertions

W1THIN tho past forty-eight hours two
Democrats, both native sons Of Nr-
sinia. whom the State has honored above all
others. one as the nations President the
other as its Governor have deserted the fun
damental principle OF sclf-govcrnment upon
which democracy is founded, and have gone
over TO stand in the ranks OF those who say
that it is morally within the province OF
Maine TO impress its own peculiar views in
sumptuary legislation upon the people of
California or any other State. Woodrow
Wilson. born in the State which gave Of it's
hearts blood for defense Of the doctrine that
each State should be self-governing in such
matters. and risen to worlds leadership

basic principle has announced himself
squarely in favor Of woman suffrage through
amendment to the Federal Constitution
lhereby he probably has made certain the
adoption OF the suffrage resolution By Con-
gross MS procurement, it may be feared,

southern congressman who already wore
waverinG under the tremendous pressure
brought to bear upon them. With the moral
support OF the President they might have
stood firm.

When summer with autumn fed;
And snowcape on his head,
And ice gloves cover his fingers
And light thought is Jack Frost's tread
And its echo on silence fingers.
Hale old Jonathan Frost.
His laugh. it is rich and round,
And he keeps his fingers crossed
AS he paints the shrinking ground:
And then. with leap and bound
And stamp OF his foot he hurries.

On his happy old way lie scurrics
Good friend Jonathan, ho
