President Woodrow Wilson tent a
message to the mass meeting of wo-
men held in Washington, D. c., Thurs
day, 18th, ult, to celebrate the rat
ification of the 10Th Amendment. 1t
was delivered by Secretary of State
cambridge Colby and read as follows:
Will you take the opportunity
that will be afforded you, to say I
deem it one of the greatest honors
Of my life this great event, so stoutly
fought for, for so many years, should
have occurred during the period of my
administration as President. And
please tell my fellow citizens nothing
has given me more pleasure than the
privilege of doing what could to has
ten the day when the womanhood Of
the Nation would be recognized on the
equal footing it deserves
Secretary of State Colby was the
only male speaker who appeared be-
fore a great crowd of citizens, ninety
per cent. of whom were women.
Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait, describ-
ed "the last battle" and other women
prominent in the long fight completed
by Tennessee's ratification, spoke of
the incidents that marked the last
days of the struggle.

Tell 1t To The Workingmen

Airplane propellers, manufactured
for the government during the war
and costing from 500 to $3.50 each,
are going on sale at the navy store
house in Gloucester, priced at $500,
$3.50 and SO.
The next time anybody tells you the
war was won by the Democratic party,
remember the airplane propellers in
Gloucester they are trying to retail as
souvenirs, and you tell them that the
war was won in spite of the Demo-
cratic party.-Camden Courier.
Tell the w~orkinbmen they got the
500 to $3.50 for making the propell-
ers. They have spent it and flew
higher in society than if the eve got
it. There were millions of waste of
money, material and lives in all wars.
The issue is shall there be an or
ganized society of nations to never
have another war. Shall different ma
tional tribes live as brethren to be
governed by statutes, ordinances and
judgments and not by pirates.
