House. ..E
She burned copies of the Presi-
dents speeches as a protest be-
cause 20 many American women
are still unable to vote. This
seems foolish, since Mr.. Wilson
has done 30 much for woman suf-
frage. You are inclined, however,
to sympathize with Mrs. Nolan
and be glad that the judge did not
send her 10 Jail when you read her
statement made in court:
Il have fought this fight for
many years, and I am willing to
do or suffer anything to bring VIC
tory to the long. courageous strug-
gle. ! have seen children born and
grew into womanhood to fight ut
my side have seen their children
grow mp to fight with us."
Miss Bertha Arnold, who helped
Mrs. Nolan, was sent to Jail for
I'VE days. And thirteen women
that zpplauded old Mrs. Nolan in
the courtroom were sentenced to
forty-eight hours in Jail.
This is probably necessary, but
regrettable. That courageous old
woman has made tight as brave
as almost any soldier. To send
women to Jail for applauding her
seems to be straining point for
judicial dignity. II thirteen men
had applauded an old soldier,
would they have gone to jail?
American women have made
many sacrifices to help beat Ger
many. As a result, Germany,
beaten, has thirty-four women
elected as lawmakers, with only
one elected into the United
States Congress and only one, an
Irish woman, in Great Britain,
and she is In Jail.
You cannot blame Mrs. Mary
A. Nolan, aged eighty, for being
puzzled 70 learn that the world
has been fighting. for freedom
FOR GERMAN WOMEN. They
can all vote in Germany.
: The President says to the peace
.
Il may say, without straining
the point, that we are not the
Representatives Of governments,
but Representatives of the people.

If that is not so, many men
have been imprisoned, shot,
hanged, drawn and quartered,
broken on the wheel, and burned
alive for nothing. The strange
thing Is that it should be neces-
sary for the President Of a Re-
public TO say It.
One fact he viii bring back
clear in his mind and tell the
financial powers in this country
who will not listen. The rulers
in Europe, with the Bolsheyists
in Russia, the Spartacans in Ger
many, the labor party in Eng
land, the socialists dominating in
France and Italy, have discovered
that human beings intend to run
the wvrld hereafter for human
beings, ALL OF THEM, not for
a special minority.
The fashionable tailors gath
cred at Atlantic City tell you
that this is the perfect man:
Height, S feet 8 inches; weight,
14sn pounds; chest, 80 inches;
wais {, 90 inches; hips, 39t, inches:
thigh 21A inches, and calf, 14K
inches"
II so, Abraham Lincoln and
Leonardo Da Vinci and Francis the
First, who encouraged Leonardo,
were much oversize. Napoleon,
Pope, Aesop, and Epictetus were
undersize. Now that the tailors
have told US the right size for the
human body, can they tell US the
proper dimensions for the inside
Of the head? Your most important
measurement is from the opening
Of your ear up over the top Of your
head, down to the opening of the
ear on the other side 1t means
a good deal more to success than
your size around the hips.
When Mr.. Wilson returns, from
Europe he viii be interested to
learn that children thirteen and
fourteen years old have been
teaching school in Washington be-
cause adult teachers have been
lacking and fun grown teachers
have left the schools and taken
jobs running elevators in office
buildings to, earn decent salary
which the public schools Of the Ma
tion's Capital would not pay.
The President likes work, and
will find plenty Of it still to be
done after he finishes the worlds
work ia Paris. He viii have two
busy years between now and
