The Democratic party SURPRISES any
thing in the world for Inconsistency.
The disease begins with President viii
son and descends to the lowest ward
healer in Iowa or any other state.
Among the many inconsistent positions
President Wilson has taken the one that
interests us most is his attitude toward
suppressed foreign people and his well
known attitude toward that class Of
people in the country Of which he is
president.
Here in Des Moines several demoerar
tic candidates have approached and ad-
dressed young colored men during the
lsst few weeks and have asked them to
forget party and support this or that
local man who is worthy Of any voter IS
assistance because he stood on the
principles Of democracy in its larger
sense to be black or white.
These men know the attitude of the
democratic leaders. They ask the sup
port of their local candidate, but re-
member that same local candidate is
supporting your enemy, thus the enemy
gets the boost for your. vote.
Don It be deceived by these emissaries
of Wilson but support men and women
who stand for the opponents of princi-
pies and ideals that should prevail in
America.

Interesting meeting in the home OF

Miss Mary Sheppard, president OF the

tire assem- blage was garbed in kimonas
and the room in which the session was
held was decorated with paper lanterns
and japanese fans and ornaments to
give an atmosphere of "The land of the
Cherry Blossom" Mrs. Grace Ham
burg gave talk on the kingdom OF
the Mikado, taking as her subject
"The Country, People and Govern
ment," folio wing which Miss Dorothy

teresting highlight of the present trend

lated an interesting story of Japan
ese maiden who revolted against the
custom of centuries, namely, the belief
that the woman and wife is inferior in
mind and ability to that of her mascu-
| line companion and husband. AS the
story proceeded it became apparent
that by diligent study, application, /,
work, effort and the employ ment Of
American business methods this pro-
gressive maiden became a successful
tanker. Mrs. Edmund G. Jackson
gave report on sour workers in ia
pan" Then followed solo by Mrs.
Maud M. Stevens, entitled "Ring out,
sweet bells of Peace" and for an en-
core she sang Farewell" This num-
ber was also given by Mrs. Stevens at
League Island during the war. After
few remarks by the presiding officer
the business meeting developed in.o u
social gathering. All chairs were re.
moved from the room and the kimona
clad girls seated themselves on cush-
ions in true oriental fashion, in which
posture they were served tea and wa
fers. While the refreshments were
being served one of the lanterns be-
came ignited, causing temporary ex-
element. The timely arrival of H.

tion prevented serious damage. This
