FARMER RADF0RD ON
WOMAN SUFFRAGE

The home is the greatest contribu.
hearthstone is her throne. Our So
cial structure is built around her, and
social righteousness is in her charge.
Her beautiful life lights the skies of
hope and her refinement is the charm
of twentieth century civilization. Her
graces and her power are the cumu.
lative products of generations of
queeFly conquest, and her crown Of
exalted womanhood lie jeweled with
the wisdom Of sanity mothers. She
has been great factor In the glory
of our country, and her noble achieve
ments should not be msrred OF her
hallowed influence blighted by the
coarser duties of citizenship. Ameri-
can chivalry should never permit her
to bear the burdens of defending and
maintaining government, but should
preserve her unsullied from the allied
influences of politics, and protect her
from the weighty responsibilities of
the sordid affairs Of life that will
crush her ideals and lower her stand
ards. The motherhood of the farm
is our inspiration, she is the guardian
Of our domestic welfare and a guide
to a higher life. but directing the af-
fairs of government is not within wo-
mans sphere, and political gossip
would cause her to neglect the home,
forget to mend our clothes and burn
the biscuits
