Memorial to American Women. Washington.—A fine thing in motive and act is the addition to an appropria tion bill ‘by the senate of sufficient money to ibulld a memorial to Ameri can women, South and North, wh served the sick and wounded during our great war. There should be no doubt of the final passage of the measure. The memorial will be ap propriately used as headquarters by the Rod Cross, •which will contribute $300,000 and wfll provide for its up keep. The service thus memorallzeJ was the most unselfish of the earth. we should have done away with the social evil, even as conversational peo ple like the French and the Germans have done away with It. Considering that the truth alone can be the basis of true progress and civilization it Is astonishing how many things that whining, hypocritical puri tan ancestor accomplished tn his day. In his original home In England he had not been going many years be fore he cut off the head of a king, sent another king packing about bis business, and In other ways pursued a policy of “direct action” that should appeal enormously to W. D. Haywood. Crossing the Atlantic, he helped to lay the foundations of an empire. For a man who hated to call a spade a spade, It Is remarkable how well he could use that familiar agricultural Implement. He used It to dig up the ungrateful soil of a rock bound, frost-bitten commonwealth. Later he shouldered his spade and. still speak ing through his nos.e, but for the most part faithful to his conspiracy of si lence, he dug up the more grateful soil of the Mississippi valley and the western prairies and the Pacific river valleys, with occasional deviations to the pickax when he struck the ore- bearing lands of Colorado and the Sierras. He did not lose the early habit of carrying his flintlock into thp field. He us4&> It In Kansas, and flv# years later he was carrying H over a thousand miles of battlefield. In his own hypocritical way he called It a fight for free Institutions against slavery.
