Bosworth has a good team, an

Lot of Country Editor is Hard

Ciucr JoilH L. UdlVln, pdSUOr
of the Christian church of Fair
field, ILL.,, in a series of sermons
on the different trades and oc-
J cupations Of life, recently de-
livered a sermon on The News
paper" Among the many good
things he said were:
What am | doing for it?
Kicking because it's not blowing
my tin horn? But how much of
myself am / lending to the paper
by speaking a good word for it
whenever / have a chance?
Really how much Of my personal
influence can its editor depend
upon? Much. or is it very little?
If | grow a big cabbage ! want
him to publish it, but | may hear
item after item Of news about
other peoples cabbages and I
never drop him a line about
them. Now as he is not almighty
enough to be in all places at the
same time, why not help him by
making news for his paper? It's
rather a mean thing to take
Everything and to give nothing
back but faultfnding. II we
never feed the COW, how can we
expect any milk, and can We
blame bossy II she kicks the
milker and the bucket? All in
all, | find that our county papers
are doing their very best for
every part Of the county-even a
hundred times more than any Of
the large city papers can possibly
do.
The city daily or weekly can
not deal with those. to them.
small items which interest close
neighbors. But the county
papers tell us all about them. and
keep US posted in all home mat
tiers: from the first baby down TO
garden truck, and the visit Mrs.
Sallie Howcomerso made at Pitch
fork Greek.
In fact. the magic Of the
county paper sets far-of neigh
bors in close gossiping contact
Just a rail fence between. And
where can the preacher find a
more willing agent than this
same county newspaper? Il gives
him free ads. for his sermons
and lectures. ETC.. etc.
And how many times It's puff
has Inflated the cash balance Of
the church sociall And he has
to pay for his ice cream and cake
besides.
Talk about men working for
glory? Why half the editors Of
the country papers only share Of
glory is like that Of the man
who saw the father Of his nation
afor-of. there being a gulf fixed
between the two places. Yes.
his glory Is like some Of those
weird pictures Of Dore. And
after he has spent an hour or 50
patching up the spelling and
punctuation Of some hasty
brothers. article or letter so as
TO make decent reading out Of Il.
he feels like he had a mouthful
lof mustard and sour dock when
the said brother goes around tell
ling every one how the said editor
has ruined his beautiful effusion.

that his enemy might write n

Bishop TuttIe Oh 8
Woman Suffrage

.tl VOfiidii SuiIIdxC
Bishop Tuttle is opposed to
women suffrage. On Thanksgiv-
ing day at Christ Church Cathe-
dral in st. Louis, he said:
I'VE religious folk, must say
hands off the schools.
The underlying common sense
of American people shall deal
also with woman's suffrage" he
said. Now let me give you my
idea. First, | would be willing
to leave it under Gods provi-
+dence.
CALIFORNIA RESULT AWAITED
"And my idea is, that If, in
California and other suffrage
states, it develops that great
good is wrought in the COM
munity, in the family, in the
home, and in the school, in poll
tics and in the state at large, you
will find that il will grow speedi-
ly rand all other states will adoptit.
but will tell you why | think
II would not be fair to give the
suffrage to women. There are
seven lines along which human
activities in the main concern
themselves. These are the home,
the school, society, the church,
business. government and war.
Now look at these seven and
see in how many Of them woman
Is Predominant, doing the work,
enduring the worries. taking the
responsibilities and bearing the
burdens:
The home Nobody has any
doubt about that. Woman con-
trols, develops. shapes and guides
the destinies Of the home.
The school-The burdens here
are borne largely by women.
Three out Of every four Of our
teachers are women.
'Sodety-Who fixes the stand
arJs. uplifts or degrades. guides
itsprogress IL not women. Wo-
men are the keepers and custo-
dians Of society.
CHURCH LOADS ON WOMAN
The church-Take the work
done in the church, take its
burdens and worries and you will
find woman is the predominant
factor there. And blcssedly so.
Did not the Savior take all his
humanity from a woman and not
one bit Of Il from n man. And in
her gratitude for this high honor.
she Is full Of helpfulness in his
church militant
Then woman Is predominant
already In four-sevenths Of the
activities Of the human race.
There are left but three-busi-
ness, government and war. And
Of these. business is inviting
women to undertake many
responsibilities. Still. the larger
part Of business Is still In the
hands Of men. porters. manu-
facturers. tiIlers Of the land and
other business pursuits.
AS to war. you all will con-
cede II there Is any fighting to
be done. we men must do L.
That In clear.
Then comes politics. The
knotty problems Of politics. the
enforcement Of laws, must be
bornc by men. Now II four
'seyenths Of the human activities
are In the hands Of women and
Il q proposed 10 take over anoth-
er. there viii be left but little
oyer thrce-scvenths for the men.
And II we have female suffrage
and male suffrage why In states
like Massachusetts,. where there
arc thousands more women than
mcn. you have the entire political
burden on the shoulders Of the
wu unen. 1T isn't fair"
