So! Mr. Baily forgets his history. He forgets Alexander the Great; he forgets Caesar; he forgets Napoleon—and he forgets the secedeing South which preceeded our own civil war, when the nearly disrupt ed nation, asleep and unprepared even as the united country is now. waited for the rattle of musketry in the streets of Baltimore and the roar of Sumter's guns to awaken her. He forgets the avarice and blood lust of a conqueror and—he forgets the European war FOR SHE II WANE AOS. Advertisements under this head lc a word each insertion.

He forgets the Lusitania. the Gulf light, the Nebraskan. (NOT Bryan) the Orduna and the Leelanaw, and he has no reason to fear the range of a 4''-centimeter gun. He is a Johnstowner and they have no harbor in Johnstown. Then the cost of all this will amount to an in crease of $100.000.000 yearly whereby every man. and child will be taxed an extra dollar! Then he flaunts the cry of conscription. Cost! How much would you give yearly to feel your country was safe? Every man would be willing to give a dollar, if it had to be raised in that manner to assure us protection and peace. We might convert "in time of peace pre pare for war" into "in time of war prepare for peace.'" China's lack of preparedness should be a lesson to us. when Japan, desiring territory, came in the side door and with not so much as thank you, confiscated the territory. On the other hand, please notice France in the invasion of Mexico during the close of our civil war. What made the campaign come to so abrupt an end? Because your Uncle Sammy told her to go. and had a million trained men wearing the uniform ot blue to back up his demands. France went. Had China been equal to Japan from a military standpoint, would she conceded to the hold-up? Not much! Would France have evacuated Mexico had we not had those million men? We think not. We don't cry "German Menace" or "Yellow Peril" but we do cry "Millions for defence * * be fore we have to pay greater in tribute. If the presi dent sees the need of an augmented army and navy, don't cry "militarist" and if conscription comes, which is doubtful, let it come. The millinium is not yet here and disarmament is far remote. If higher taxes come let them come, but let us have a navy to protect our coasts, and let it be second to none. Let the Pliillipines be fortified as are the Hiawaiian islands. No matter what the cost is in dollars and cents let us protect our country now, before a war, and not wait until the booming of hostile guns is heard off our coasts. Preparedness is not militarism; it's just plain horse sense. TROUSER MAKERS STRIKE Ten Thousand Men Walk Out In New York City. New York. July 13. —Ten thousand men who make trousers are on strike nere. According to an official of the Amalgamated Garment Workers of America this means a reduction in the output of 200,000 pairs of trousers a day. The troubles of the pantmakers are entirely separate front those of the In ternational Garment Workers' union. If the threatened strike of operatives in the latte.* organization develops i dearth of women's clothes w'ii result, but both employers and employees are hopeful that this will be averted. Much confidence is placed in the mayor's conciliation board", which is in session today. There is less optHiism among the manufacturers of men's garments and the operatives. There seemed pros pects that within a few days the strike may spread to all workers of men's clothes and even invade, though not to a great extent, the realm of work ers of women's clothing. In that case approximately 75,000 persons would be affected. GERARD SIGNED WILSON NOTE Berlin Papers Disclose Fact, Which Causes Comment. New York, July 13. —Copies of Ger man newspapers which have reached New York disclose the interesting fact that the second Lusitania note sent by President Wilson to the Berlin gov ernment was signed by the American ambassador in Berlin, James W. Ge rard. This shows that the American notes thus are handed to the Berlin foreign office by the American repre sentative in the German capital. It is recalled in contrast with this that the German reply to President Wilson's note was signed, as all previous ones, by Herr von Jagow, the German minister of foreign affairs, j and that they were not sent through the German embassy at Washington, i This gives rise to speculation as to < whether the German ambassador, Count von Bernstorff, is being inten tionally ignored, either \iy request from Washington, or upon the de cision of Wilhelmstrasse itself. WILL BUILD SUBMARINES Two Large Concerns Will Begin Building Undersea Craft. Washington, July 13. Formal notice has been received by the secre j tary of the navy that the New York Shipbuilding company and the New port Shipbuilding company, two of the largest concerns of the kind in the i United States, are about to go into the ' business of constructing submarines. The news aroused great, interest among naval officials because it prob ably means broader developments in this type of war vessels. At present there are only two submarine build ing companies in this country. That there is room for more is indicated by an apparent determination on part of the present administration for the department to ask congress to greatly enlarge the submarine flotillas Of the.

In 1784 North Carolina, growing im patient of the burden that her western settlements had imposed upon her treasury and irritated by the com plaints of the people of those section.*, passed an act conveying to the federal government all the lands that now con- i stitute the state of Tennessee. The people of the country that Is now eastern Tennessee, feeling them selves left without a government, made haste to organize themselves into an independent commonwealth, which they called, as a tribute to the illus trious philosopher, the state of Frank lin. These people applied for admis sion into the Union; but, the federal government being slow and unwilling to act and North Carolina having re pealed the act of cession of her west ern province to the Union, the state of Franklin came into very troubled wa ters for some years. Some efforts were made to persuade the Kentuckians to join themselves to the state of Franklin, a provision hav ing been made for such co-operation in the constitution of the experiment, but they came to nothing. The new state gradually fell to pieces, and in 1787 its brilliant and able governor, John Se vier, was put on trial for high treason. He was released by a daring rescue and subsequently pardoned and restor ed in name to the leadership, which he never lost in the affections of his peo ple. In 1757 the last legislature of the state of Franklin held its session at Greenville.—Philadelphia Press. Napoleon's Confidence. Jnst before his marriage Napoleon re ceived the appointment of commander in chief of the army,of Italy. He was then twenty-six. "You are rather young," said one of the directors, "to assume responsibility so weighty and to take command over veteran gen erals." "In one year," Napoleon replied, "1 shall be old or dead." "We can place you in command of men only," said Carnot, "for the troops are in need of everything, and we can furnish you with no money to provide supplies." "Give me only men enough," Napo leon answered, "and I ask for nothing more; I will be answerable for the result."—"Table Talk and Opinions of Napoleon Buonaparte." _ i ;HV SHOUID WOMAN | I OH 7HATS\ SUFFRAGE BE LOGICAL \ -WAV oVvr ?

Says Women of His State Have Made Good as Voters % DO NOT NEGLECT THE HOME Nor Have They Lost Their Womanly Charm By Voting Against Its Enemies. Governor George A. Carlson, of Col orado, a State where women have voted for the past twenty-two years, made a strong appeal to the men ol Pennsylvania to vote for woman suf frage this November in an address he delivered on July 13 last, at the Swed ieh Lutheran Church at Kane, Pa. He said: "Don't let people tell you that the mothers of your children will prove incapable, or become coarse, cold or neglectful In the home if given the ballot; those who for nearly a quarter of a century have actually observed the enfranchised woman at work know that she can sense the enemy of the home more quickly and will fight him with more telling effect than the hus band, and while preserving all her nat ural feminine charm and sweetness, she will become even more devoted to the man who has allowed her ampler means and fuller power for the protec tion of their common fireside. "The State in safeguarding and pre serving the health and morals of the young is but doing a mother's work. "We need the blending of the mother heart and the masculine judgment and will to sustain and guard our homes." BARBER AND FARMER DO GREAT TEAM WORK FOR WOMAN SUFFRAGE City men are not the only ones who are interested in suffrage. Miss Liliane Howard, one of the State suffrage or - ganizers, has been touring the farming districts recently and this is what she says of her experiences: "The interest among the farmers is very encouraging. We have been hold ing five or six meetings a day. The men left their work in the fields and the women their homes and came to the meetings no matter how distant they were. Sometimes they had to walk and carry the babies but that did not stop them. "At Calvin, in Huntingdon County, the men were out repairing a tele phone line and could not come to the meeting. They begged us to come to where they were working. When we got there every one of them stood and listened to every word of our speeches even though it rained part of the time "At another town a man was having bis hair cut when we arrived. When bk heard the speeches*outside of the barber shop he made the barber move his chair out on the street and both of them listened attentively to the speeches while the haircut was being finished." Jack and Jfll have equal will And equal strength and mind. But when it comes to equal rights, Poor Jill trails far behind. | A MORAL IN PER-CENTS Being a Mathematical Calcula tion Based on Anti-Suffrage Figures. FIGURES SOMETIMES LIE Unless One Knows How to Draw the Proper Conclusions from Them. A statement sent out by the organ ization interested in not getting votes for women, recites, among instances of beneficent legislation secured by ballot, that 23 States have enacted workmen's compensation laws since 1911, "Only seven of them being suf frage States,"— which is to say 63%, or nearly % of the full suffrage States Sixteen man suffrage States passed such a law, according to the same au thority, which is to say just 43% of the manhood suffrage States. The same statement makes the point | that the first Mothers' Pension Law was passed in 1911, and that since then six women-suffrage States have adopted such a law, whereas 12 male suffrage States have done so. Which is to say that 54% of the woman-suf frage States are to be credited with this law, as against 32J/ a % of the male suffrage States. (As a matter of fact, 100% of the woman-suffrage States have passed widowed mothers' pen sion bills, but one is concerned here with anti figures, not facts.) "Eleven male-suffrage States have equal guardianship laws, which are of particular advantage to women. Only seven suffrage States have been suffi ciently interested to adopt such a law," continues the statement. Which is to say that 29% of the male-suffrage States have passed equal guardianship laws while "only" 63% of the woman suffrage States have adopted this law, "of particular advantage to women." "Eight suffrage States," continues this same effort to show how much more quickly and surely women get what they want when they haven't the ballot to get it with, "eight suffrage States make the age of consent 18, but ten male-suffrage States have estab lished this law." Which Is to say that 73% of the woman-suffrage States have the law as against 270f the male-suffrage States. • HE CAME FROM MISSOURI, HE WAS "SHOWN"—AND STILL HE DIDN'T BELIEVE There are some people who are still wondering whether woman suffrage will disrupt the home, upset society and work havoc in general, in spite of the fact that women now vote in twelve States in none of which have these disasters occurred. This atti tude on the part of opponents of suf frage recalls a story of pioneer days when a settler near the present town of Albany, Missouri, bought for his J wife the first cook-stove ever seen in fhat part of the country. The stove was an object of great i curiosity, and the woman's next door f neighbor—a man who lived ten miles away—came to see how it would work Without comment he watched the dinner being cooked; ate the meal with judgment still held in reserve, and then remarked, with a shake of the head: "Well, Sarah, it cooks all right, and the victuals taste good, but I don't bo lieve it will ever be a success." There are 20,891,310 women of vo' jpy age in the United States. More than one-fourth of them are wr.ge* •aimers outside of the home.
