Between Woodrow \\ il.-on and * a
women o 4 ' ou; country, at every m.-.t
it who may die and leave f > w'M«>w an i
fatherless children in political slavery,
there exists but one rial difference.
The president believes in states rights,
as if human freedom were an is»ue be
tween Ohio and < alifomia and not an
issue Ik*tween God Almighty and Ameri
can manhood.
It is true that. Thomas JetTerson,
father of If oocirow \\ ilson * party, w rote -
into that party the doctrine of states ■
rights.
For ovei <0 years, w«* true hie: w
temporized with the pernicious idea that
human freedoift was a local issue, and
fertilized Half the nation with human
corpse- to prove the thing a ac.
Half a century ago. we cut each others
throats knowing that this nation could
not live “half slave and half free.” To
day, we know that the freedom of our
whole nation and human liberty over the
whole civilized world are in deadly peril.
Woodrow Wilson has the glorious
vision.
He says to the oppressed or threatened
peoples of Europe:
Ap a labor to »bich ir<» railed by God, «rl
will givr you lib#>nv Her** are our young men !
Herr are all our r* sour* * - Prink from our con
arc fated cup of liberty. **quaii*v, demomey. But I
to rn> own nation, liberty in bounded on the
north b> Lake Krie, on the «a*t in lVnnsyhania 1
and Wr«t Virginia! or. *he south by Kenturky on 1
the west b> Indiana And God b!**<« th** old
party doctrine of states rights!
Woodrow Wilson, look upon the women
of America, in this your hour of trial
by world-w ide war.
It is they who have your vision of uni-!
versal liberty and happiness.
It is they .who will sacrifice.
It is they who will bury and mourn*
over the dead heroes thru the years.
ft is they who will win the war against i
universal slavery to autocracy.
Are they a dates issue? Nay. their;
freedom, their equality of rights are the
greatest, most thoroly national, most uni
versal issue that time has set before man
kind since I*ee surrendered the sword of
states rights at Appomattox.
The Opportunity of which immortals
are born is at your door, Woodrow Wil
son. ...
The congress meets in December,
(five it a ringing message in advocacy
of the constitutional amendment for
equal suffrage.
in doing this you may appear as hav
ing lx t'li in error n> to your view* «»n
fhis great issue.
hut. what president in all the list ha
had the glorious opportunity to lead in
the cause of freedom for fifty millions
of Americans?
What pre-idem in all the li-t has had
such opportunity to prove that he ha*- the
eourage to Ik* the loyal servant of the
nation ?
\ message, Woodrow Wilson! A mes
sage tba 'hall thunder across the seas
to t< M enslaving autocracy that America
i> not to tight for human liberty, ‘'half
slave and half free*’ herself!
A message to tell our husbands, sons
and brothers facing the gun- that their
wives, mothers, sisters are to be “equal”
by wilt oft Vie whole American people as
a nation!
A Place for Ihe lUiilding
l p of Men, Rather Than
For Their Tearing Down
In Voting for n dry Michigan we ha\e
prepared the ground and soon we
be gathering the fruits.
In the language of'the effusive presV
agent, the benefits to be looked fo* a a
it* Milt of prohibition are “too numerou
to mention."
For today it will suffice to name as one
of the.se, and by no means ihe Vast, the

Games such a s billiards and bowling
supply healthful and body-building exer
cise, amusement and diversion, with
nothing whatever tr> be said against
them except for their long association
with the saloon.

as well as that much greater asset, repu
tation, the Sweeney-Huston Recreation
building, an innovation that ha- come in
on the prohibition wave, s more than
welcome and is deserving of the city’s
encouragement.
We greet it and wish it all possible
success while bidding the saloon:
“Here s your hat. what’s your hurry”.”

It has changed. Somehow the men in
