repetition of the world ate once and we ate again
The merit of the food was there. Likewise we have
merit in fight for sufrage-merit that appeals

Where stationery is printed the cost of the add

the Constitution authorizing Congress to confer the

through the necessary number of States legislation

Europeans
In India

IN reading the news of India,
which is coming fast and in
creasing in interest, we must
bear in mind that it comes from
British sources and is tainted with
British propaganda.
A fair example of the propa-
ganda character of the news may
be appreciated by understanding
that when these news dispatches
speak Of the killing Of Euro
pean" or the danger to Euro
pean," the British propaganda
wants you to understand that it is
a European" not an English
man, and that the hatred of the
people of India is running against
Europeans" generally, not Eng
lishmen.
Now, the truth is that the
hatred of the people Of India is
exclusively directed against the
people of England, and that a
Frenchman, a German, an Italian,
an Irishman or any other Euro
pean is just as safe in India, if
the people of India know that he
is not al Englishman, as he is in
his own country. 1t is the English
oppressor that the Indian people
are rising against. But the English
want us to believe that it is a gen
eral uprising of some strange bar
barians against civilized races.
Therefore, when you read the
news of India. read it thoughtfully
and take nothing for granted, ex-
cept that 315,O00,0OO people
who have given the world splen-
did contributions from their cul-
ture and who, when they were
conquered through an insane paci-
fism, enjoyed higher general
education than the English, can
not be held down against a deter
mined effort on their part to rid
themselves of their oppressors.

voteless WASHINGTON, D. g., March 8, 1922

Voteless WAodAN9TON, y. O., March g. 1922.
We are going to have suffrage for the District of
Columbia when American citizens everywhere get it
well into their heads that the District is the one spot
in all the United States where the people are not
even on par with Porto Ricans and Filipinos and
where they regarded cheaply by Congress that
they are not even allowed to elect their municipal
heads.
When free Americans fully understand that even
the Board Of Education which presdes over the pub
lie schools is hand -pcked body; that the District
Commissioners and members of the Public Utilities
Commission are selected to manage our affairs with
out the people having word to say about who they
should be- Congress will get slant this question
that will bring it to favorable action Millions
of fair-mnded voters in the States must KNOW
what our situation u.s. and they'll never know unless
we resort to propaganda that will inform them
That propaganda should be short and crisp and
could be best provided for by joint publicity COM
mittee of citizens determined to awaken the nation
to our plight.
Until we can get important civic bodies to
realize that what want is steady publicity for the
cause OF whatever type of suffrage can be had the
qulckest-withOut quibbling what particular
plan is bes-it is feasible for every man and woman
who loves Washington and desires suffrage to start
the ball rolling and keep it rolling with just the
line you see at the head of this column varied with
such expressions as each may see fit to put into
every letter going out Of the city.
1T every business house in Washington when it's
next batch of letter heads printed, would have
the word ''voteless' placed just before washing
TOM. 1t would have psychological effect far reach

letter head should be placed little box reading:

THE COIN OF LIFE
BY Angela Morgan.
THE WOMAN.

"OW little we get, we women,
When we answer loves behest--
clasp Of the body, a sigh, a kiss,
A surge ut the breast.
A house to love and tend, perhaps;
Troubles and trials many;
The coin of life doled out to us
Penny by bitter penny;
While all the vast, sweet ranges
OF soul and brain and will,
Unshared, unanswered longings,
Storm within US still.
THE MAN.
How little we get, We mortals,
When we answer women's call!
A fleeing taste Of happiness,
A dream-and that is all
The passion Of daily sacrifice;
The toll, the fear, the strain;
The wrestling with our enemies
To shield her life from pain.
Oh, could she see how every stroke
OF heart and brain and pen
Ii just to make her happier
Would she be happy then?

NEEP down indeed are the

Many are the pleasures of tho
senses and we ought to de-
spise them all, but the hard

that with . cord made of

should therefore admonish
ourselves against this delu-
sion and be very cautious and
circumspect.
Here you have much wisdom in
few words. The driving force
which impels the great majority
of men to their best efforts, the
subject which gives the greatest
pleasure to the normal, thinking

The People
and q Bonus
Asst Sunday soldiers bonus
/. advocates held meetings all

day, peoples day, the plain peo-
pie assembled to demonstrate to
Congress the popular insistence
upon this legislation.
The people of the United States
feel that we are under very sps-
cial obligations to the men who
won the war.
We feel that the bonus is a sim
pie act of justice.
1t is a very slight adjustment
Of the slim compensation, 81 per
day, which the fighters received,
while we, for whom they fought,
stayed home and earned war
wages of Sc or $40 per day. The
bonus gives the soldiers $1.25 ad-
ditional for each day spent in
France, 81 for each day in train
ing here. ...
Senator BOrah of Idaho is II
statesman who is usually in touch
with the people, but when he
wanders away from them, he wan
ders far. He was below their
horizon when in the Senate on
February 13 he took up Senator
Jones statement that there were
$4,000 ex-service men patrOnizing
charitable soup houses in New
York. Senator BOrah said:
Mr.. President, if | could
single out the $4,000 SOL
DIERS who the Senator says
are in want, | would feel that
l should do by them just as |
would do by $4,000 CITI-
ZENS who had also done
their duty in the war and
were also in want. | will
make no discrimination be-
tween the different citizens of
my country, all of whom per-
formed every obligation rest
ing upon them during the
great conflict.
This sentiment that there is no
difference between the soldier in
the trench and the ordinary cit
izen who stayed at home and at
tended to his private business
it is a sentiment foreign to the
American heart.
Does the Senator from Idaho
care to know how his fellow-cit-
liens feeli Once for all, that feel
ing was expressed by James Rus
sell Lowell in his stirring verses
written when the boys in blue
marched off to the civil war:
Life may be given in many ways
And loyalty to truth be sealed
AS bravely in the closet as the
field,
So Bountiful is fate;
But then to stand beside her
When craven churls deride her,
TO face a lie in ARMS and not
toyield,
That shows, methinks, the meas
use of MAN,
Limbed like the old heroic
breeds,
Who stands erect on manhOOd's
solid earth,
Not forced to frame excuses for
his birth,
Fed from within with all the
strength he needs.
The Senate on April 4, 1917,
voted 81 to 6 in favor of our en-
trance into the war. We cannot
believe that many Of the Senators
share the sentiment of Senator
Borah. We believe chat the vast
majority of them agree with these
words of Senator Lodge, referring
to the bonus bill:
