 I nder the law" sad Mr Frierson, n vessel registered under the Ameri- eantlag k in many respects considered a portion of the territory of the United States and persons on board are gover- ned by itS laws IL follows, therefore, That persons on board an American vessel, whatever that vessel may be, gre governed hy the laws of the United States, to which they would be subject if within the United States"

DEMANDS ON WOMEN.

If there is one thing that women have lea rned in their Self-imposed progress toward citizenship if is that every step forward brings added obli- gationS No gain is stationary. Each success in the movement for the wei fare Of children. spells greater demand on women everywhere. So long as very little children work in the cotton mills of the south 6r make artificial flowers in the tenements in New York City, so long must a voting womanhood be on guard. While children are under prived of play-groundS. or are con demned to unsafe or yulgarizing pie ture theatres. just so long must wo men use their political privileges for the sake of "everyman's child
 This k the kind of National De fcn~e" in which mothers everywhere are deeply concerned. and for which ta,y will spend and be spent.
 The most dangerous man in the community is the one who would pol lute the stream of child's life" says Luther Burbank.
 II may yet come 10 be realized that the cutting out of the appropriation for the ter-departmental social hy- giene work was the poorest kind of economy We pray that congressman and legislators in the several states may see large things large, and the small things small.
