THE WILSON THUNDERBOLT
Just why the statement of President Wilson, assert
ing the American delegation could not assent to Italy’s
having Fiume, should have been a “Thunderbolt,” or
an "Appeal to Ceasar” is difficult for us on this side of
the world to comprehend. The statement of our great
president is merely a restatement! in different and I
more concrete form, of the principles enunciated bi
kini time and again since America entered the war—
merely a restatement of the principles which took us
into the conflict and which we as a nation intend to
Adhere to at its finish, if we are to have a hand at all
m the settlement of world affairs.
As the president points out, these principles were
accepted by the whole world as the basis for peace—
hoth allies and enemy 7 —and those weaker peoples who
are not now able to assert their rights under these
principles are finding an able champion in the president.
Italy, of course, has her own view point, which she
I
Sb convinced is right But it is hoped that before the
<hreatened wreck of the work of the peace conference
i
takes place she will have replaced her own with the
proader viewpoint
i
Italy may withdraw from the conference if she
i
«siooses, but it is hardly likely that she will go so far
as to seek the separate peace of which she has begun
to talk. But President Wilson, the man with the con
viction of right and the power of 100,000,000 people
behind that conviction, can be depended upon to stand
to the limit for his principles.
America wants the World League, but can do with
out it. But without America there can be no World
League. t
PROGRESSIVE PARTY PLANS.
There seems to be trouble ahead for the Republicans
in connection with the re-organization of the Senate
and house of Representatives and the selection of a
presidential candidate for next year. Ever since the
Section last November, in which control of the House
and Senate was lost by the Democrats, this trouble has
keen developing. Antagonism toward Lodge, Penrose.
. and others, has devoloped a disposition on the part of
tamer progressives to call for a statement of Replb-
Bcan plans and principles. They are asking what is to
the position of the Republican party on the railroads,
tfac tariff, the League of Nations, the Espionage Act,
immigration, etc. Some are also in
<vsdring as to who will be the Republican candidate for
the presidency.
In view of the fact that the delicate balance of pow
««r in Congress is in the hands of the progressive ele
ment, their attitude in this matter has a serious bearing
apon the future of the Republican party, since their
••biiections may eliminate, as. presidential possibilities,
men like Taft and Hughes, one of whom, but for pro
gressive opposition, might prove to be the strongest
mraflable Republican presidential candidate.
The death of Colonel Roosevelt has, of course, made
* extremely improbable that the progressive party will
«e*er again have a chance of eelcting a President. It
may well be, however, that, unless its leaders are in
*me way reconciled by the Republican party, they will
3be able again to defeat the Republican Party at the
3*«sidemal election, and to continue the Democratic
naeglme.

A WOLF HOWL.
Hard pan Jake,” from the head of the lake,
V-/i With hair on his breast — that’s me.
I’v pawed this earth since my day of birth
With a spirit wild an’ free.
I’ve seen the West at its worst an’ best,
I’ve rolled ’em wide an’ high,
But I’ve lost my sand and I lay my hand
W r hen Cal-i-for-ny’s dry.
What would they do—that roarin’ crew—
Them wolves what I used to know,
If they’d hear the news, that we can't have booze i
In this land where th’ jag vines grow?
I reckon they’d shoot any dam galoot
Who threatened to stop their rye—
But they won't be here, my soul to cheer,
When Cal-i-for-ny’s dry.
01' Bob McGill, “Tuolumne Bill,”
Jim Peets an' ol' "Hardtack” Brown,
We was sure some crowd —if you speak it loud—
When we hit the trail for town.
It was fun or bust, while we spent our dust,
With th’ limit th’ star specked sky—-
There’ll be no plays like we had them days
, W r hen Cal-i-for-ny’s dry.
They're the other side of the Great Divide—-
My pards of th’ day r s of yore—
An’ I’m left forlorn to weep an’ mourn
With a heart that’s sad an’ sore.
I’m ol’ an’ broke; my gun’s in soak,
So what can I do but cry,
As I sit an’ think, "W’hat can I drink
When Cal-i-for-ny's dry?”
Dig me a grave where th’ wiliers wave,
At th' rim of th’ lonesome swamp,
Where th’ lizards creep an’ th’ tree toads cheep
An’ th' tuneful bullfrogs romp,
Throw me an’ my jug that I used to lug
In th’ hole an’ say “Good-bye”—
It’s no place here for a pioneer
When Cal-i-for-ny’s dry.
—J. W. McKENZIE in the San Francisco Bulletin.
addicts will greatly increase the most rigid
measures are taken to suppress the traffic. In this
connection, Daniel C. Roper, Commissioner of Internal
Revenue, in his annual report says, “Comprehensive and
effective administration of the narcotic laws must be
based upon an international perspective, supported by
international agreements, and co-operative interpretation
of policy under which the drug world trade may be
adequately policed.”
Secretary of the Treasury Glass, of whose depart
ment tlie Internal Revenue Bureau forms a part, will
forward a statement regarding this matter to the Presi
dent within the next few days. The report of Repre
sentative Henry T. Rainey, Chairman of the Committee
to investigate the Use of Drugs in the United States, has
been ready for sometime but the figures contained in it
are so alarming that it has been held by the Treasury
Department officials for the purpose of careful verifi
cation before it is published. The report shows more
than 1,5000,000 narcotic drug addicts in the United States
9
of which number New York City is said to h,ave nearly
300,000.
j THIS AND THA T. j
Equal Opportunities for Women.
Provisions for the organization of all working wo
men into trades unions,—for giving women equality
with men in industrial and professional opportunity,—-
for translating the theory of “equal pay for equal work’’
into established fact,—fend for maintaining by legisla
tive action the war-work standards for women so as to
insure for them in peace times the same protection that
was given them during the war, constitute some of the
main planks scheduled for introduction into the pro
gram of the National Women’s Trades Union League at
its sixth biennial convention which is to be held at
Philadelphia on June 2 of this year.
The voting body of the convention will be composed
of delegates from each of the local branches of the
league and from each affiliated international union,
trade-union local, central labor body and State federa
tion of labor.
Praise for Dr. Carter.
The following card of thanks is reprinted from a
Georgia newspaper:
“Card of Thanks. We wish to thank our neighbors
and friends from far and near for their kindness during
our sickness, not only the friends but our physician.
There never has been just a disease as she had and we
all glad that God gave the physician power to raise
her up again. Here for about a month her heart beat
cn the right side, but by the faithful attention of Dr 1 .
Carter she pulled through.
“We feel like it is our duty to praise Dr. Carter to
the very highest for he is the one to have when you have
the pneumonia. Written by a sincere Friend.”
