MIR. ROOT JOINS THE LEAGUE.

We must beg leave to remind Emu
Root that when he accepted the invitation
Of the League of Nations to be one OF seven
eminent lawyers charged with the duty OF
working out a plan for the creation oi
nerrnanent court of International justice
he was hagrantly in contempt. OF the
United States Senate. So far as is known at
present, he took this awful responsibility
upon himself without a reservation OF
any kind.
How does he know that after he is once
harnessed up with half dozen European
jurisconsilts he can bc the sole Judge oil
his length of service? Does he refuse TO as
sumo any obligation to support tns
unanimous decisions of the conference
Is he sure that he had saieguaried the
Monroe Doctrine2 What guarantee Is
there that he will not be outvotedl mas
he stipulated in advance that ne VIII no'

If Mr.. Root has not been Senator, we
should not wonder at his recklessness. III he
were not Republican OF the strictes'
sect. VIC should attribute his daring ven
ture to some streak of Democratic Ideailsm
If he were not the heir of many native
generations, we should suspect his Ameri-

HUNGRY FOR SPRING.


Lord, am hungry for spring!
For the birds on the wing,
For the laughter Of children at play.
For the blossoming trees,
And the soft southern breeze,
And glimpse at the beauties OF May.
Give mo back the blue sky
And tho clouds drifting by,
And the rolicking laugh of stream,
Let me get back to Thee,
With my spirit set free,
Let me live out day in dream.
I would wander once more
Where there's never door,
Or roof or q sbeltering wall:
And find there anew,
Where mans worship is true, :,
The power which has fashioned us all.
From the sham and the strife
OF the game we call life,
And the poor little goals that We crave
From the madhouse called town,
With its sneer and it's frown,
| would go where all creatures arc brave
Tired of stone and of steel,
| want things which are real,
The birds and their courage To sing,
The trees and their speech
And the lessons they teach

FOR PUBLIC BENEFIT.
PARTY Mandates on Equal Suffrage

A large part Of the vigorous politlch
bombardnent OF members of our Legisla-
ture in the great contest for ratification
of the Fo,,al Suffrage Amendment to the
Federal Constitution. now under way at
Dover has been fired with national po-
,,tical ammunition. Republican workers
and Democratic pleaders have said to the
Republican and Democratic members OF
the Legislature; "Your party, IN nationai
convention assembled. has gwen ITS m
dorsement to Equal Suffrage and thereby
eolIs ,,,on Won 10 sustain this movement
10 confer the privilege Of franchise upon
the women through completion ot ma
tional legislation.
Therefore, it is pertinent at this time
and also important, to bark back 10 the
uolitical national conventions OF 1910
the latest held, and see what were their
deliverances on the absorbing question OF
votes for women.
The Democratic National Convention
at St. Louis. in June. 1916, said tins
about EQUAL Suffrage:
We recommend the exten-
sion of the franchise to the
women of the country BY THE
STATES upon the same terms as
men,
And this is what the Republican plat
foym adopted by the Republican Natlona
Convention held at Chicago IN June
1916. said on this subject:
"The Republican party, re-
affirming its faith in govern
ment of the people, by the peo-
nIe. and for the people, as
measure of justice TO one-haf
the adult people of the country
fayors the extension of the suf-
fraee to women. BUT RECOG-
NIZES THE RIGHT OF EACH
STATE TO SETTLE THIS
QUESTION FOR ITSELF"
