Spring Cleanup.

Washington knows many cam.
paigns. When it comes to campaigns
Washington is a veteran with expert
ence in campaigns far greater than its
age, or rather its youth, which is only
about 131 years. though it has not
been known on the map by its present
name for even that brief time. The ap.
preaching campaign is to be, known
a. a cleanup campaign, and especially
as a spring cleanup campaign. We
have one of these campaigns every
spring. and each has been found to be
productive of results beneficial to citi-
zens and city. It Is because Of our
happy experience with other spring
campaigns that we are about to try
another. May it succeed! It will sue

Having Gone to the Ant.

The news from Africa Tor is it Asia p
is bad-very bad. Cold-hearted science
has once more been engaged in the
ruthless business of kicking the props
from under certain of those theories
which some men are wont to adorn
with blue bowknots and pamper as
their pets. Prof. Wheeler has gone to
the ant: considered his and her ways,
and comes hack with that wisdom
which annihilates fond unscientific
predictions.
He recounts his story with merciless
wealth of detail. The ant-and he met
with about 10000 species in the course
Of his wanderings-is apparently ex-
cessively human in its frailties. Three
fundamentals guide their lives, like
ours: they are: Hunger, sex and fear
Some like hard liquor. Some indulge
in graft. And finally and worst of all
some loaf. Apparently one of the
principal things the average human
sluggard would learn if he undertook
the journey enjoined in the proverb,
would be some new methods of practic-
ing slothful Incidence.
So do our cherished idols tumble
from their pedestals. Alas for copy
book maxims. science spares them
not. Nor is the worst yet said. For
Prof. Wheeler-with the chill, abstract
persistence Of science-deals yet an
other staggering blow. This perfidious
estate in which he claims ants have
their being endures. we are told. un-
der the control Of the female of
species.
So is another dream shattered; an
other vision lost. Yet even while our
doll leaks sawdust and our hearts are
gripped with the tragedy of the truth
Hope once more stands beside us
with smiling eyes. Out of the ashes
of our lost illusion spring the phoenix
of faith reborn. Can it be-can it be
that man and his ways and his ideals
are, after all, better than some Of us
had thought?

the palm Of the hand, a lame muscle
in the back and sprained tendon in
the neck. but what are such tribes to a
prim lawn, a trimmed hedge. pruned
shrubbery, a blooming flower garden,
a fresh-painted house. bright green
blinds. spotless white door and window
facings and u back yard where not
even rusty tomato can dare show it's
face or label.
There is satisfaction in. having
everything springlike in the sprirg.
Summer follows spring. according to
the almanac and other authorities,
and If one is to have the home spruce
and tidy through the charm seasons
of the year, one should begin work in
the spring. In fact. one need not wait
for spring. but might begin the clean.
up campaign earlier.
We have become quite a martial
people. and it is proper that we de-
clare war against the weeds, and with
full and steady ranks. armed with
scythe and sickle, carry the fighting
into the enemy's country, the back
lot. or the front lot Of any unprogres-
sive citizen. Such an army of volun.
teers as ought to come forward for
this spring campaign would strike
terror into the breasts, the bristles,
the leaves and stalks Of the barbarian
hordes of burdock, mellilot, jimpson
weed. ragweed and cowtail. Onward,
soldiers of the spring cleanup cam.

Women and Lawmaking.

Lady Astor has under consideration
an invitation to visit America in April
and attend the pan American confer
ence of women to be held at Balti
more.
She wants to accept. for two rea-
sons. America Is the old home. She
has not been over since her entrance
Into politics. which has given her a
wide fame. 1t is easy to see that she
would be a great toast at this Balti-
more meeting.
Then she would have opportunity to
give office-holding by women boost:
to explain what it is like to sit in the
British parliament and lend a hand to
the making of laws.
For short time Lady Astor sat
ment. But her assertion and success
inspired other women. and one other
Joined her. She now has company as
a woman lawmaker.
Our Miss Rankin sat alone as Il
woman helper on Capitol Hill during
her service in the House. and Miss
Robertson is without company OF her
sex in the present House.
But the spirit is stirring and spread
ing. Several women have announced
for seats in the next Congress-one
for a Senate seat-and others are eX-
pected to announce. So that the wom-
en- Of America this year are going 10
try their fortunes at the polls in
larger numbers: and more than one
may help to make the wheels go round
in the SiXty-eighth Congress.
Lady Astor could not be expected to
remain long enough to take the stump
for anybody. but simply a short visit
from her would increase interest in
woman's part in our coming congress
sional contests.
