WHAT WILL You Do2
Carry Nation gave us women of
the w. G. #. U. some pretty hard
licks-indeed she did; but we are
going on in our usual old fashioned
way, nevertheless Some of us are
thinking down new line. And
how long some of US are to keep
the old way is an unsettled
question. yet women are learning
it by the hundreds each year-and
maj ority leads.
Men! men! Wake up before it
is too late. Keep your women
near you at your left side where
God placed her, protecting her
heart-rights with your strong right
arm; better not let her stray-you
will never get her back again.
Carry Nation said. your grand.
mothers went into the saloons and
seated themselves there, and kept
the men out. Why don't you wom-
en- do that?"
Instantly a vision of my grand
mother rose before, quantity digni-
fed, with lily white hands, and
eyes as blue as calu mas, innocent
as little child's, a loved, shelter
ed woman, written plainly from
the crown of her head to the tip of
her toe. My grand mother went
into no saloon, my heart cried, and
such was the cry of each woman's
heart there.
In our grandmother's time faith
ers, husbands, brothers and sons
were loyal to the queen of the
queen of the home, and she, the
woman reigned supreme. fair,
sweet, happy and content on the
grandest throne in all the world
the home throne.
Do you many calm, happy, con.
tented.face women today. No you
do not. For in almost every home
in our broad state, intact through
out the whole land intemperance
has crept in, destroying peace and
happiness.
i How can any woman, be she
mother, wife, sister or daughter be
happy and content when she knows
some loved one of nsr home is sink
ing each day lowe. and lower into
degradation; for OF all the troubles
that ever entered n home, of all
the blights against home peace, in
temperance is the worst. !.
