MRS. ROBINSON WANTS NAT TO
COME UP TO DATE.

Editor Social Corner: Nat is even in
more hopeless state than Dreamer,
for she is on the inquirer's seat, which
Is always a good sign; but Nat lays
down the law to his wife as if he was
sure that he knew it all. He has not
even one eye open.
Ever since have known anything
have hard it said that the farmer was
the backbone of the nation" and it
looks now as though the farmer would
be the backbone of woman suffrage:
since the oranges all over the country
are asking for the square dear for
their wives and daughters.
The state oranges of Maine and Yer
mont endorsed woman suffrage at
their recent annual meetings. YER
mont did so for the first time.
The Old Pine State is always on the
right side. Mr.. Granville Fernald in
troduced the suffrage resolution in
Maine. Several able speakers were
present to support him. Before they
had an opportunity to speak an enthu-
slastlc young granger was on his feet
and shouted:
Worthy Master, as there is not a
man in this hall who dares to oppose
| these resolutions, 1 move that they be
adopted
And they were unanimously; $4,000
men spoke as one voice These men
| of Maine know what women have done
| for their state.
Nat is 100 years behind the times
| 1t Is evident his wife does not dare
say her soul is her own. Poor wom-
| an! how starved she must be. Nat
| means we'll, only he does not know
| that he does not know. He says WON
en- want ''the Offices" Doubtless he
| judges US by his own standard. l am
not sure but the time is near at hand
| when they will need to take them; az
| statistics show that six out of every
| ten high school graduates are girls. Il
looks as if it would be our women who
| would be the educated class: therefore
should be the ruling class.
L want to see them reign together
| equal at the fireside equal in the
church, equal in the school, equal il
| the state.
| This is the ideal for which we suf.
fragists are working Liberty stand,
! for equality. Join the grange, Nat, ant
md out what your class-the farmer
| is thinking and doing.
