try, and the Most Beautiful Exposition of All History,
~ Again we urge our readers to make their plans for a trip
to San Francisco NOW if they can possibly manage it.
There never was a better year for seeing your own country.
- The railroad rates are lower than they will be for many
. years, undoubtedly.
. The people of San Francisco and 'of the whole western coast
- have organized, not for selfish profit, but for the benefit of the
travelers.
; Hotel rates in the best hotels of California are far lower than
in the East. Merchants and newspapers have organized a boy
cott for any hotel that should increase rates or in any way dis
‘courage the traveler. And no one has dared to run the risk of
that boycott.
You can live in Ban Francisco, while you study the Exposi
_tion, and the wonderful Western land, and the great Pacific
Ocean, much more cheaply than you can live in any first-class or
second-class Eastern or Middle Western city.
5 It is not necessary to repeat that the Panama Exposition is
by far the most beautiful, the most interesting and extraordinary
that the world has ever seen.
. And this marvelous Exposition, which alone would reward
_you for a long journey if you went through a tunnel all the way,
is only the crowning reward of a trip across your own country,
- the land of wonders. :
i Go, and if you have children, take them with you. Follow
the sun in his journey toward the West,
- You mean to see the United States ‘'SOME TIME." Let it
“be THIS TIME. Go now, and remember that every dollar in
vested in travel is a dollar invested IN EDUCATION.
,°1; The trip across this Continent is worth a year of life in any
~other kind of study. You cannot imagine what you have not

“you and your fellow citizens own, until you have SEEN it.

" Thousands of parents complain that their children are *‘nar.

Senator Cummins’ Admirable
. The measure which SBenator Cummins has in preparation for
Hhe creation of new national universities ought to awaken wide

t while soldiers may be quickly recruited and trained in a few

B Best Argument for Woman Suffrage
“COLORADO woman, who

at the last election, Is vo
ciferously and energetically de
manding in public and out es It
that Colorado repeal the equal
suffrage law of that State,
“Women won't stand together,”
says the Colorado woman, “and
even If they wopld they can't.
“I's all a farce, a ridiculous

Just begun to vote, there is al
ready on foot a movement to take
the franchise, which they have
only just gained, away from them.
Hurrah! Woman suffrage
amounts to sométhing after all,
“The only way you can tell
when you've hit a man,” sald an
oid Indian fighter to me once, “is
when he throws up his hands and
hollers ouch.™
I don’t know whether they are
throwing up their hands in Colo
rado and In liinols Just now—the
professional politiclans—but It
takes no ear trumpet or any other
mechanical device to be quite
conscious of the fact that they
are beginning to “holler ouch” In
no uncertain tones.
8o women won't stand together,
dear Madam Disappointed and
Disgruntied, “and If they would
they can't”
Why, of course not. What sort

~~these women that yoo know?
Puppets to be pulled by a

Not that 1 have ever been able
to observe.
It was a man, wasn't it, who
started the Democratic party?
Was he standing together when
he did 1t?
Would you want him to stand
together with someone when he
thought that the principles for
which the someone stood were
absolutely and entirely wrong?
That's one of the great things
that woman suffrage is going to
do for women—it is golng to
teacl them that they are, first
of all, human beings, second of
all, women, and third of all, wives
and mothers,
It s going to help them to
think for themeelves and not te
stand together just because some
other woman or some particular
man wants them to, '
And that is jJust one of the
most important things that wom
an suflrage will do for the State—
it will give the State and the na
tion the benefit of a great army
of voters who have never been

This country needs woman suf.
frage Just as much as the women
of the country need it and this
very disinclination jo follow the

We need people who think at

THE HOME PAPER
Wholesome but Very
Impractical Plan to
End BigWarls Urged
Humanitarian Cult, ()ne_;)—f Most Unselfish
of New York’s Many Societies, Would
Have Rulers Stop Fighting and Use Money
to Aid Sufferers by Strife.
By ELLA WHEELER WILCOX.
EW YORK is full of socie~
N ties of all kinds formed for
the benefit of the unem
ployed and the poor. Among the
most interesting is the Humani
tarian Cult of New York City.
This society has no dwes and no
by-laws; it does not accept con
tributions of any kind.
It has relieved since last No
vember, when it was organized,
588 families, found employment
for 115 men and women; taken
care +oof ten dispossess cases by
paying rent, provided medical
treatment for 57 cases; furnish
ed nurses, wearing apparel, etc.;
in each instance given relief (on
the average) twelve hours from
time of receipt of application.
The founder is M. E. Apple
baum, who says in his prospec
tus: “We claim that all people
are deserving. We must help
those who have bad habits to
change them and thereby regain
their self-respect. We have not
collected any money and don't
intend to! We do not preach
nor find fault. All we maintain is
that human nature is beautiful
and responds readily to love and
kindness, and the record of our
work justifies our faith in fellow
man,
“Our meetings and concerts
are free. No collections or con
tributions permitted. If you
come once we will guarantee your
further visits.” -
The Humanitarian Cult recent
ly made the following suggestion
to the Legislature against capl
tal punishment:
“All religions distinctly pro
hibit the killing of man and do
not permit’the taking of life,
even by law. Since law is made
by man, and man admits God to
be the Supreme Power he can
not justify the killing of man by
any process.
“We therefore ask that you use
eévery endeavor to do away with
capital punishment, »
“We furthermore, suggest that
proper laws be enacted so that
prisoners of all descriptions
should be compelled to work;
that the prisoners receive regu
lar allowances, to be disposed of
in the following manner:
“Part of the allowance to be
used for the support of those, if
any, dependent upon them; part
of the allowance to g 0 to the
State for the betterment of nris
on system. and the balance to be
held to the credit of the prisoner,
s 0 that when released he can once
more face the world with some
means. Very often on account of
lack of means the prisoner reverts

On February 11 the Humani
tarian Cult, composed of men
and women of almost every na
tionality, sent the following ca
blegram:
“To the Rulers of the Countries
at War:
“The present war caused and
will cause tremendous loss of
life, the maiming and crippling
of good and strong men, the
breaking up of homes, and will
produce great misery for years
to come, tha burden of which will
fall mostly on women. It will
also mean that the next genera
tion will physically be a set of
weaklings,
“The religions practiced in the
respective countries distinctly
prohibit the killing of man. You
admit that God is Supreme Pow
er, and yet you have placed your
own will and judgment above
His. If you desire to still leave
in man a spark of faith in higher
ideals, you will listen to this ap
peal of true humanitarians, which
is beimg echoed by your own
countrymen,
“We therefore ask, in the name
of all that is fair, just and beau
tiful, and consequently holy, that
you submerge your pride and stop
the combat Immediately. The
first: amongst you to take this
step will prove to the world the
understanding of true patriotism.
“You are raising billions for the
purpose of destroying your neigh
bors. If you will but stop the
war and apply a small percentage
of this toward relieving those who
are suffering through your ac
tions, and if you will, in addition
to stopping the combat, disarm
and place the relics of war in
the public galleries as a symbol
of past ignorance, you will have
shown the world true'wlsdom,
and then your flags will be re
spected because they represent
Peac and not false patriotism "
While this {dea is wholesome
and expresses the feeling of the
whole world not engaged actively
in this war, it is about as prac
tical and useful as the shooting
of perfume through an atomizer
against a strong northeast wind
blowing In odors from a glue
factory. Higher powers than man
knows of are controlling this
world calamity. Not until the
purpose for which the world
calamity was sent is achieved
will the war stop.
