HAS A CHILD the RIGHT TO Lwt7

Do you believe firmly that a child
ir born with the right to live and
grow into a healthy human being?
If you do believe that you accept
a responsibility. The responsibility
to do what you may to prevent the
death Of that child and to prevent
starvation and suffering from des-
troyinlg that child mentally and ply
sically.
In Vienna alone 10000 cases OF
ricketts, were treated last year at the
public hospitals. That disease comes
from nlalnutrition and underfeeding
and hardship. of children. Seventy.
per cent of the eases were children:
under ) years of age.
The children are not responsible
for the war. The war is responsible
for their sufferings They are the
helpless victims of war and its de-
fvasta ton.
The fund of $4,000 600 asked by
Hoover and his Organization will feed
and save in Poland j $50 600 children;
In Germany the same number in
Austria 10000 and in Czcho- Slayia
and the Baltic states 100000 more; at
that it must fall far short of the
desperate need.
If the >children Of the states of
Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska and Kan
sas were all to perish OF famine the
death list would not equal the num-
Der that this fund will save.
Can we, OF Iowa. remain good COM
pany for ourselves If we fail to pay
and over-pay our share of this fund?
Will not the health ard happiness
OF our own children uceuse us II we
deny cur mite to the perishins Chill
dren OF Europe?

we deny we suffer by own denial. We
destroy our future customers and
consumers of our surplus. We de-
preciate our own prosperity. Sordid
as that view OF the situation must
appear to right hearted and right
thinking persons 1t is not the less
true. We can not starve the children
Of Europe and escape that sordid
penalty.
1t is Christmas time. time for
kindness and mutual good will. The
good will on earth and peace to men,
which fails to accept it's own res
possibility is mere prating. the voice
OF the pharisee raised abound in the

The children must have help and
we must give 1t. Otherwise we must

BY the time Billy had made good
his escape from the baby show. the
grounds were crowded with merry
makers. The annual county fair was
an event that no farmer and but very
few OF the townspeople of Licking

genial sunshine had brought thou

aay. for such ideal weather could not
be expected to last long at that sea :

The country folk. for the most part,
provided their own lunches, for noon
was tho time set apart for social
gatherings OF old friends and neigh
bors. Many times five or six families
would spread their picnic dinners to-
gether and. not having seen each
other since the last fair, the hour
would pass pleasantly enough with
comparison OF rival crops. discus
sion OF the outlook for another pros
porous year, exchange of advice on
farming subjects, and kindly gossip
about mutual friends.
The townspeople. on the other
hand, depended on the numerous
lunch booths and tents scattered over
the grounds, and now as Billy fol-
lowed in the wake OF the crowds. the
odor of coffee coming to him In de-
lightful. fragrant whiffs, proclaimed
that noon was fast approaching.
If lunch-time is here, I must be
on the lookout for something to eat.

BILL HAYWOOD AND THE LEGION.

Big Bill Haywood. is to speak in a
number Of Iowa cities according to
announcement from l. w. w. head
quarters.
In this connection the stand OF the
American Legion Of Des Moines will
be noted with interest by other Iowa
legion posts. The blunt statement is
made by the commander of the Des
'Moines post Big Bill Haywood won't
speak here IL we know he is COM
Ing"
1t appears that 100 members of
that camp have "signified their will
ingnes's" to act as special police Of
flcers in event that Haywood pro-
poses to speak or the /. w. w. to hold
a convention in Des Moines. The
legion post says it will stand
sQuarely behind the police depart

1t wouldn't be at all surprising II

Very naturally the men. who risketl
life and gave their years to their
country can scarcely stomach the
advent Of Big Bill Haywood and
others who bushwhacked the. soldier
and the country from the rear. 1t
is not; astonishing that they resent
a continuation of such propaganda
by such propogandists.
The average American citizen feels
about us the soldiers do about it.
If the legion posts object to Big
Bill Haywood and his mouth and
protest successfully against both
they will not seriously affect their
own popularity or lessen the respect
in which an American public holds
the American Legion.
In short Big Bill Haywood per-
sonaly and Big Bill Haywood's prop

KENDALL WILL APPOINT WOMEN.

Tt is stated by the Abba republican,
which is very close to the governor
elect, that Mr.. Kendall will appoint
women to some of the important ap-
poinrive positions in state govern
ment.
The demand of women for repre-
sentation and recognition as citizens
and voters is entirely just and
proper. The new voters have right
to make such demand and should find
the ear Of the appointive powers.
However 1t will require careful
selection by the governor. Not that
the new voters are lacking in ability
or airy natural fitness for the office;
but it is none the less true that the
women voters do lack experience in
public affairs and that they have
much still to learn Of the machinery
Of government and Of business adj
ninistration of state affairs. They

On the, strictly business end of prop

the average man will excel the aver

Woraen in appointive and elective

new government that has begun
with the advent OF women into full
