produced from any other section of

Recently, in solemn conclave as
sembled, a group of women and men
discussed the problem of raising
our children to higher moral tone"
No one is amazed at New England
women and men discussing this
weighty problem, as it is in the class
with all their top-heavy conventions.
The reading public has become al
most nauseated at the publication of
Judge Lindsay's book; the daily pa
pers have teemed with criminal rec
ords of children, youths and maidens
which make one wonder if a rennai-
sance OF Nero's time has set in in
certain portions of the United States
The New England people argue
that we have not sufficiently cen
lightened" our children, that we
have left them in ignorance of vital
truths which play such tremendous
havoc with the futures of our coming
men and women.
AS between any further "enlight-
eminent" and the Rollo books of our
grand-daddy's days, there is as wide
difference as there will be diversity
of opinion.
When you take Judge Lindsay's
arguments and the report of the
meeting of the New England folks,
and look for a reason, you will find
the mothers Of the world are to
blame for the horrible state of ignor-
ance, vice and corruption which each
of the mentioned Investigators has
exposed.
A recent dispatch from London,
England, gave a detailed account of
a parade of Suffragettes. Besides
the brass bands. banners, police and
noise, we are told 100000 women
were in line, parading and demand
ing equal rights
If God ever looks down on this
weary old world, and recalls the first
man and first woman whom He Gre
ated, with what amazement must He
have regarded that Suffragette pa
rade.
To the woman, He gave the sweet
est burden He could devise, that of
making the home and of comforting
and tending those in it.
And right here, at the risk of be-
ing "read out" of church, let me say:
the man Or woman who clings to the
popular Biblical story of the eviction
from the Garden of Eden, is scarcely
fit to teach children ANYTHING.
If We accept that as truth, then it
forever disposes of the moral right
of any parent to thrash a child for,
disobedience.
And when you tell child of life,
of all it's mysteries, which will un-
fold NATURALLY if the mother does
her duty, you are placing them in the
class with the Bible story Of Adam
and Eve.

When we take it on ourselves to
Unfortunately instruct children in
the mysteries of Nature, we must
first realize the compound of each
child nature; this, of course, would
be impossible in those ten-minute
heart-to-heart talks which our New
England Brethren and Sistern lay
such stress on.
What right have you or warped
and perhaps embittered by years of
struggling to retain our ideals-to
shatter all the dreams WE enjoyed
in our youth by instructing the chill
dren of today in the knowledge which
will come to them naturally with the
development of their minds and
bodies?
Are we to understand that the in
dividual mother is to be relieved
from this responsibility and privi-
lege, SO that she may wrangle at the
polls and caterwaul up and down
the universe for "votes?"
Is an Association of Mothers to the
Children of the Universe to be form

effect?
To those of us in middle age, when
we recall the days of dolls, play
houses, Indians, fairy tales, and the
like, isn't it sickening to think of the
hundreds and hundreds of little boys
and girls of today to whom those
joys are unknown?
If there can be any improvement
over the American woman of the
Colonial period, history has failed to
chronicle it.
To those noble, pure-minded wo-
men fell the lot of home-making,
housekeeping and instructing. They
lost none of their womanly dignity
by their knowledge of events which
were then making history; their
views, opinions, influence and sup
port were eagerly sought by the men
who were then building our country.
If their vote had counted for any
thing, as against their influence, isn't
it to be wondered at that these wo-
men never demanded" the right of
suffrage?
And the moral tone of the United
States of America in that day and
time was as far beyond the tone of
today as Mars is miles from the
world
Let our children have their birth
right-let the mothers make the
LONE what it should be, and the
ballot will take care of itself.
And let Judge Lindsay's book
teach the United States authorities
that restricted immigration will
solve many of the problems which
his Beast and the Jungle" have
made known.
To that New England convention
little comfort can be given-they
haven't any children of their own,
and it's to be hoped the other New
England women who have, will at
tend personally to the matter of in
struction.
