The Democratic banner. (Mt. Vernon, Ohio) 1898-192?, 1911-05-26
Motto--Forward.

Flower-White carnation.
Are you not glad you came to the
institute? Wasn't 1t good?
Many more such days and nights
would be SO acceptable and profitable.
Such grand ideas. Knox county is
surely urging the attendance.
Amity held another institute on
Thursday. SO sorry more could not
have gone from here. Lovely days,
surely dry enough according to the
weather. Many thanks for the assist
ance given the county in their music
for both afternoon and evening; two
duets in the afternoon and duet and
quartette in the evening, consisting of
Mesdames Tilton and Gates, Messrs.
Cover and Levering with Mrs. Cover
at the organ.
cry one glad they made an effort to
attend
County president Miss Faraquhar,
has attended all the Institutes held
and deserves great credit for the ad-
mirable way they were conducted. We
are much pleased to see how the men
are interesting themselves in the var
ious questions of the work; and why
not? Is not the father as much, or
should be as much, interested in the
home as the mother?
1t seems that there is some mlsun-
derstanding as to women and the bal
lot without good reasons. First, she
does not naturally want the ballot
it is forced upon her; secondly, only
on some vital home questions does
she even then wish to exercise the
right; thirdly, she who is capable of
earning and keeping property, de-
serves to have say in ruling it.
But should she come back unto the
housewife to cook and tend the cradle,
without the fear of starvation, without
the fear of danger for her little ones
without fear for her husband, then she
would gladly lay down the battle and
rest in the haven of rest, but alas
would the millennium come immediate
ly do you think, il the Christian wO
men of the world would not need to
exert their influence for good in the
world?
Try and make some one happy to-
day. Do not wait until tomorrow fol-
tomorrow never comes.
Get out into the pure fresh air. II
a little dust remains what's the odds
For it makes the "Johns" and the lit
tie ones happy to have mother along
The vacant lots of the city are usu
ally filled with crowd of boys with
bat and ball Usually there is dog
or two loaflng around. 1t is good fun
for all concerned. Long may it be
the sport; but not on Sunday. That is
day of rest. Everybody wants rest
Why not take it on Sunday.
Peace never makes cravens oi
weaklings of any one. 1t requires the
strength and courage OF warrior al
ways to be peaceful.
No man is good or desirable citi
zen who runs any sort OF business
which is detriment, in any sort OF 9
way, to the public welfare.
If you keep your eye fixed on youl
feet, no matter how carefully you nots
each step and endeavor to keep II
line you will find 1t hard job, bu
fix your eyes on some good opposite
you before starting, keep your eye OF
that, and you will walk straight Il
1t without much difficulty, 1t is keep
ing the goal ever in mind that enables
you to take each step and make eaci
day right and true. Our plans ant
hopes and ideals are not for day on
ly-they are not to make us goot
} enough to die, but good enough to liv'
and live long
oh, the school Of youth should b'
the school of purity. See to 1t yo'
: are pure,
Please don't forget that our coun
ty is working for the banner in pres
work this year. Had it by right las
year, but be sure each union to keel
accurate account of your work.
Contest is still on. Who is ahead
