proper way to fight fire is with water;
but whiskey is even worse than fire.
Temperance makes slow strides in this
our nations capital. We have beat
other things to FRAGILE. It's high time
to beat what is the worst enemy hu-
mainly ever had to deal with. In this
city the temperate and the intemper-
ate live side by side. It's horrible to
see drunken man; but Oh! the wom-
en- that can be seen drinking and act
ing the fool. " any there are who
doubt Crusoes words that a bad wom-
an is far worse than a bad man, let
them visit this city and take observa-
tons. The bare facts will confront
them: sights will make them want to
close their eyes and ears, too.
We all know that type of man and
woman who boast that they know how
to handle whiskey- They can drink
and keep straight. What nonsense!
We either are temperate or intemper-
ate. There are those who sip and those
who gulp it down. Slippers and gulp-
ers are all in the same class,
in my estimation. The fight against
whiskey is far more needed than
battle for women's rights. If when
the women of our country are given
the vote in every state they then win
succeed in DISCRIMINATING the whiskey
evil, the greatest work for humanity
will have been accomplished.
/ I agree with Centennial Square that
| our women must be educated up to the
| high standard Of women's rights before

gence.

TO do our part-no matter how small
it may be--and push on toward the

ORIGINAL SOCIAL CORNER STORY
A STORY
Written for the Members in General and Sweet
Sixteen" in Particular, by Who

had proven so fascinating to. "A
Mother a week before
Now Sweet Sixteen had once said
that she could not write a story, but
she did want a little extra money SO
muchi Why, if she could win the
sixth prize even she could get, with
what She already had, that beautiful
white shawl for her mother which she
had seen in the store only yesterday.
Then Sweet Sixteen" remembering
how her mother had always praised
her compositions, got pen and ink and
wrote Their evenings enjoyment being
fresh in her nind) of her first straw
ride.
1t was 1 by the kitchen clock when
Sweet Sixteen" finished her story.
Folding it neatly, she found an en-
velope, enclosed and addressed her
story and then, not having a stamp,
went to her mothers desk to see If she
could find one there. Whether there
as a stamp there or not, Sweet Six
teen" never knew; for lying in the
desk was an envelope, sealed and
stamped, and sweet Sixteen read in
her mothers handwriting the following
address:
Editor Social Corner, Bulletin Office,
City,
danced! Two in the same family with
literary aspirations! Wasn't it rich?
This is the Judge of the Social Cor
ner Stories. His own wife wouldn't
know him. His coat is off; also his
collar and tie; likewise his cuffs. His
shirtsleeves are rolled up and he looks
as though he had been through a fight.
But it is not quite as bad as that.
You see, he must hand in the names OF
the successful writers by six o'clock
tonight, and he has had hard day
He has awarded all but the sixth prize
Let US glance over his shoulder and
see who the winners are, thus far:
First prize, The Rose of New Eng
land and Other Roses, by r. Duane
Bromley, $40; second prize Day
Dreams, by Ruth, S. third prize, A
Little Poultry and a Living, by Ma;
| fourth prize, Pride Goeth Before a
| Fall, SO; fifth prize, Back to the Coun-
| try, by Rural Delivery, 81.
| And now he is reading one of the
| two stories which he had set aside.
Yes, it is Sweet Sixteen's." He is
evidently pleased with it. for he is
smiling Will it win the sixth prize,
! wonder? But, no; for see, he is
/ placing it on the top of that pile
marked seventh prizes, He. is read
| ing the other story now. Well, / de-
| clare; if he isn't reading it again!
| There; he's finally finished and is pol
! ishing his glasses (they having become

taking up his pen and is writing:

A DREAMER WIDE AWAKE.

Dear Social Corner Friends, 1t has
come at last, My dream castle is
shattered With the coming of 1912 a
brigade of suffragettes visited my
dream castle carrying banners, brooms
and spears. Wake up, and dream no
more!" was their command, and over
the entrance to my dream castle they
nailed this poster NO more dreams,
bat work for women's rights"
Headed by NJ. G, Is. Robinson. with
Centennial Square, Shut-In Aunt julie
and others following close, these brave
workers sWooped down upon me anu
with sutfragist brooms they barred my
dream castle of its cobWebs.
Out of pity, ana believing in some Of
lsis arguments ] had taken Erusoe in
and endeavoFed to shield him from the
sharp eyes Of these suffragettes. They
spied him and meekly he allowed them
10 lead him to a sufragist ladder
which for some time had been standing
in an obscure corner of my castle.
Here they required poor Crusoe TO
take his stand under the suffragist
ladder. If he is still there I trust he
will be fortunate enough to escape be-
fore the ladder falls. IF it stands till
the end of time then Right about
face, Crusoe, fall in line!'
Then these brave women. with Spar
tan strength. proceeded to boost me up
this Same ladder at such a rapid pace
that / fell with a thud
When | fell my dream castle vanish
ed like q soap bubble. Arising from
the ruins. ] found myself armed with
a spear and broom. On the spear I
read tfese words For protection

open your eyes, Nat. Read your pa
pers; they are the great educators of
the day. Be just to women. Let me
tell you of a real live incident thai
happened in one of our Connecticut
towns, when clubs for women were
new. A club was TO be formed in this
town and Mrs. Dash was invited to
join. She knew how prejudiced her
husband was against anything of the
kind and feared be would not con-
sent. Like a wise women she pre-
pared for him the incest supper she
knew how to and after he was well
filed and was in the happy condition
Of a sleek cat, toasting his feet before
the fire on the hearth. she timidly
said:
John, Mrs. So-and-So is COM
ing next week to form club and 1
am invited to join. Have you any
objections
John thought while and then said:
81 have no objection if you will
promise to keep your mouth shut.
I hate women talking in public"
The obedient wife gave her promise
and kept it religiously throughout the
year-in shame, too, for she saw her
comrades, as timid as she, growing
self-collecteG and strong. The next
year, she said:
John, I am not going to join the
club this year"
John faced his wife savagely.
Yes, you will; | have watched the
reports in the paper and not once
have you opened your mouth to 50
much as to make a motion. Now
want you to stay in until you can
don't want all the men in town to think
my wife don't know anything
John had forgotten that ne had
made her promise not to.
The time will come. Nat, when you
too, will be ashamed to have the men
in your town think that your wife is
behind the time, for 1t will not reflect
any credit on you.
The Leavenworth Times says: THE
| most popular subject which is being
discussed in Kansas today is woman
suffrage"
The very last New York Sunday
| Times not only had an editorial OF
! it, but gave more than a whole side
of the paper to it, in praise of theil
! intelligent views on tariff and othel
marked questions. The woman's ques
/ ton is dominating the world.

LARGER LIBERTIES FOR WOMEN


Dear Editor and Sisters of the So
cial Corner: For some time have been
an interested reader Of this Corner,
but not wishing to tax the patience of
the Editor and Social Corner Sisters,
] have kept in the shade.
However, as the question of suffrage
has been introduced, and no one has
succeeded in waking the Dreamer, /
am going to write a few lines.
Dreamer, do you ever stop to think
Of the graduates of our public schools.
high schools. and collegse? Have you
ever noticed that more girls with
higher standing are graduating than
boys? Just few years ago a class Of
80 graduated from one Of our public
schools, % of whom were girls, and
q girl had the highest standing. Why
is it? Because more than half of the
boys Of today have no higher aim
than to get a cigarette iii their mouth
and make themselves a nauseating
nuisance to everyone in general. Do
you ever stop and think of the thou
sands of foreigners in this United
States of America. who can neither
read nor write, yet they help TO make
the laws by which we are governed,
While good, intelligent and educated
woman's home duties any more than it
of their sex.
Why should voting interfere with a
woman's home dnties any more than 1t
does with a mans business
Men vote and their employees, but
their wives can't. She is able to care
for his children, yet she isn't able to
vote, while the man who takes care of
her husbands cows is!
Cruso: I think that you must have
been on an island all by yourself for
the last 20 years. In the early days
women weren't allowed to have an ed
ucation, and were kept down; but
now that they have got an education
their eyes have been opened and they
will no longer submit quietly to the
cruel injustice OF that early age.
wish that you would read Tom Paine's
Age Of Reason now that you seem SO
familiar with the Bible.
Nat; think you and Jane Ann are
all right. You certainly deserved first
prize.
M. C. B. Robinson: You know right
from wrong. Persevere and in the enc
the right will assert itself

is rather a long distance acquaintance
