Americans close to half a century now,
and, whatever else | may know about
America, know the nation has the big
heart and the kind, far.seeing eye. II
you stop to think of America and of
oil the great and glorious things Amer
lea has done in peace and in war l
dare say you will think of America
as do--as gigantic, youthful knight,
unafraid. clad in white afmor, just
and compassionate, and so vast of
stature that the loftiest clouds scarce
brush his knees, while his head is
close to Heaven itself.
1 know my neighbors on my block.
and my neighbors in my town, and
my neighbors from ocean to ocean, and
they are all--when the test comes-of
noble heart and liberal mind. They
would rather do right than wrong, and
would rather right wrongs than abet
them. know the Republic that was
created for us. and the manner in
which we have preserved the Repub-

to understand the Turk. Try as we
may we cannot quite grasp his mean
ing. or why he does what he does. 1t
was. in something Of the same way,
hard for us to understand the auto
cratic imperial German. The main
reason is probably because we are at
heart an unselfish nation. We are
sorry when other peoples are In
trouble. We worry about it and want
to get them out of trouble. We do all
we can to get them out of trouble.
It has become part Of our nature and
4 great part of our national religion
to do this,
World Conquest Abnormaiity Of Heath
en- Days.
It was hard for us to understand
why an imperial Germany should
think seriously of any such wornout
thing as world conquest. Most Of us.
even up to the day when the war
ceased. did not thoroughly understand
that any people could actually mean
to attempt to conquer the world. We
had so long had an ideal OF world
prosperity and world ffffiieHdlliiHess that
we could not think that any nation
could seriously have as it's ideal a
world drowned in blood and chained
to a conqueror's chariot wheels. We
could not believe any modern nation
could actually have faith in any such
ancient. heather days abnormality.
Still less possible is it for us to be-
lieve that any modern nation could
Intentionally and wilfully set about
numbering and starving vast por-
ton of it's own inhabitants. Even II
we could understand why Germany
could murder and mistreat Belgians
we could not understand why a Tur-
key should murder and mistreat hun
dreds of thousands of Armenians and
Syrians who were the most prosper
Gus and inoffensive of her citizens.
The truth is that it is always diff
cult for the kind hearted to under
stand the evil hearted. Far more diff
ficult is it for the man who lives in
q really modernly civilized land to un-
derstand the man who lives in Q land
that il still ruled by the ancient ideas
Of lust. rapine and oppression. The
American father Of family cannot
understand the pasha and the lord Of
the harem who still thinks slaves
necessity and stolen wealth good
wealth. We cannot believe such peo-
pie exist today.

WOMEN VOTERS SUBJECT TO LAW

In those states where women vote they come un-
der the same law the That is to say if there is
educational qualification, there is in many states
woman must be able to pass the test required in
der to receive ballot If there is property quafica-
ton, there is in Rhode Island, she must be able to
show her tax receipt Where registration is required of
men, must register in like In this re-
spect each state is law unto itself, many of them
having lax systems of registration in the country
districts, with stringent provisions for voters living
in cities.
The only federal law which has affected the vote
of is the act passed in, March, 1907, which dis
franchises American married to foreigners since
that time The American-born must wait until
her husband completes his citizenship in the states
very cursory study of the election laws of the
United States shows the widest possible differences be-
tween them In few states all bars down, and the
foreigner arriving at Ellis Island in May vote the
following November. This is true in Alabama, but a
number Of states where has been the have chang
ed their laws in this respect since the entry of the United
States into the great war.
When enfranchsed they expect to
abide by existing laws regulating elections. Massachu-

LET US HAVE PEACE"

Today the great war comes to definite and final
close with Germany who responsible for its ncep-
ton and the author of all of its horrors signing g
nomnous peace that letters her to the worlds chariot
for generation
But it is just peace, in far it is possible to do
justice to Germany for, has been said before, it is
impossible for Germany to make adequate reparaton
her crimes against humanty-she cannot restore the
millions of lives she took, and cannot by any kind of
payment make blossom the fields of France and Bel
GUM she turned into desoation. But, far is hu-
manly possible, it is just peace and from which
Germany will emerge, after a period of penance if
she is dgent with her assessed debt paid, and new
understanding of the rights of humanity and of the
destiny of one nation to rule the world
With the final writing of peace another era dawns
for the remainder of the word-an full of hope
promise of better days the German future is devoid
of brilliant prospects With the biggest question before
it settled the world get down to business ir
settling the smaller matters ironing out the little kinks
and returning to normal pursutsto constructive
deavor instead of destructive
The dam that has held back confidence-uncer-
tanty-melts away today with the coming of definite
peace Business knows without any doubts or fears
what to expect and go ahead, full speed No
waiting to what Germany will actually do No
fears that at the last minute she may refuse to
sign the terms and may accept Bolshevism.
And with the signing of the peace the world may
expect the of Radcasm to begin to set. Germany
made up of people with trained of industry,
thrift and ORDER may be expected that she has
accepted the Allies terms the cheapest way out to
put her house ORDER clear out the radicals and oafers
and get down to business and industry that she may
get out from under her load of debt quickly pos
sible.
And with the remainder of the world concentrating
against Boshevsm, Lenne and his disciples will find
their sphere growing and narrower, and ere
long shall see the world return to an era of sanity

TT HE rosebush blooms a little while beside my

and then it blooms no more With lovely things it's
always thus, they're doomed to swift decay; lit
tie while they stay with US, and then they fade
away. And while toll the passing bell, bird sings
in my ear "You would not love them half so much
if they were fixtures here If roses pangled every
lawn, as dandelions do, would wish the
blamed things gone, and countless rags we'd chew.
Today has been perfect day, soft breezes zip
ping by, and not sullen cloud gray obscured the
azure sky. The birds put up a sweet refrain, their
voices sweetly blent; and everything safe and

every day would be the this, would such
weather program pay, would it insure bliss?

the direction by prohibiting any aid to voters
for total physical disability such blindness the
loss of hand which would make it impossible for the
voter to mark his ballot.
When the Nineteenth Amendment enfranchising
women, becomes the law, women will still be liable to
the restrictions set by the states This is the in the
20 states where they have full partial suffrage and
it will be so with the others.

.192OPR|CE LEVEL
IN BUILDING WORK
LIKELY TO Be HIGH
Experts Predictions Based
on Specific Factors in
Present Situation.

Those who have deferred home and
! factory building in the hope of bene-
] fiting through a recession of the price
level in the construction industry will
not realize this hope in 1920, accord
| ing to a survey just completed by the
American Contractor. 1t is not inn
probable. it is stated, that lumber
prices may decline slightly, but other
and the cost of building trades labor.
are expected to remain at the present
price level until the end of the build
ing season next year.
"fhe important factors in the situ-
alton which appear to make certain
the maintenance of the price level"
says the writer, "are strikes in the
steel and coal industries, the prevail
ing wages of labor, transportation
charges and car shortage, imitation of
for building materials.
Advances Over 1918.
when the armistice was signed in
November, 1918, the index number for
construction materials was 1Ss. For
general commodities it was 206, show
ing 80 and 106 per cent advance in the
general price levels over 1913.
"Sinee November the trend has been
upward, with building materials re-
naming approximately 20 points un-
der the general price level. 1t is a
reasonable conclusion that recessions
| in building material prices will not
begin until the commodity price leyel
has dropped back to where the build
| ing material price level now stands:
| mo evidence is forthcoming, and
none of the best authorities in the
| construction industry suggests that
the prevailing wages OF LABOR sa.o VIII
not be continued throughout 1920
| "The exceedingly high freight rates
which have prevailed under govern
ment control of the railroads are an
important factor in present construc-
tion costs and here again no relief is
| in sight, Returning the roads to their
owners promises no relief.
Currency conditions in the United
| States At present are uafavoFable to
| price recessions In the construction
Industry. Probably the most effective
crease production until the pre-war
ratio existing between money and
products 10 re-established. This is
bound to be slow process process
sion which can scarcely be begun next
year, much less carried far enough to
enhance the buying power of the dollar.
I'm addition to these unfavorable
factors one must take into consid-
Grafton the abnormal demand fol
building of all kinds. The upward
trend OF rents ana lana values clear
ly indicates that the remarkable
building activities Of 1919 did not ap'
preciabiy diminish the demands foI
new housing facilities and new indus
trial buildings. Building authoritie:
are agreed that 1890 will see new
records established throughout the
United States in the volume of con
stfuetion work undertaken. The sum
mef building season proved to bt
most remarkable in face of all the un-
favorable conditions.
