THE following "open letter to wom-
en- in war time" appeared recent
lY in "The Woman Citizeno.

~ IN Inc w oman CltlZen":
"This is the time of all times when
American women must move forward with
American men in compact body, mind and
heart sustained by the one ideal, the ideal
Of democracy.
"Even yet we do not know in America
as we shall later know what is required
of us in oneness of production. in oneness
of sacrifice, in oneness of life itself. We
do not yet know the strain, the tension that
is coming. We do not yet know how utter
ly essential it is that we go forward by
millions as one person, that us one person
we stand and deliver.
I'VE must not lag. We must not cavil.
We must not sneer. We must not talk
about the government and wash our hands
of it with great air.
1--WE must not forget that the govern
ment' even in peace times is just ourselves,
in communal function; that we can't be
quit of concern in it if we would. can't
reach out hand without being entangled
in it; can't think, or move, or have our
being apart from it.

Mr.. WASON: He will be forever re-

That best portion of good mans

HIS little aaan,eless, un,1umbered acts
OF kindness and of love.
1t was with sorrow that we learned of
his sudden death. Personally we shall

district state, nation and thousands of
man in every sense of the word In the
words of Antony over Brutus
HIS life acas gentle; and the ele-

M R. WASON stated that the Rev. Bur-

the Rev. Samuel Russell, of Lawrence,
Mass, delivered the address, In this
address, which he quoted in his remarks,

Noa0 the laborer's task is DER.
Noac the battle day is past,
Noa0 upon the farther shore
Lands the voyager at last.
Father, IN Thy gracious keeping,
Lea0e a0e here our brother, sleeping.

From The Washington Post

Neao Hampshire boavs n, grief
Before deaths bitter shrine.
HIS servace has been great,
His aoilling,eess still more;
HIS influence aVas felt
We knoaO, from, shore to shore.
HIS feet pursued the paths
Of greatest good to man;
HIS precepts aUere to do
Each day the best you cam.
He toavered high IN form
And battled aUithout fear;
Within, his heart beat avarn,
In lending aid and cheer.
We mourn our loss today;
The t1"sltmphs he has won
Wall ave IN memory still,
Although his work is done.
Ye statesmen of the hills!
Ye rulers of our land!
Ye noqU miss IN him
A strong and po1Uerful hand.
The light he shed still shines
Upon oar paths to-day,
And. Just across the borderlamd,
