Woman 10 Ruler Over All.

why uOeH WOMAN CnhIe unu0T to
straint of sex? Why revile the hand
Of nature? Why discard the skirts
that civilization has chung to since
the beginning OF time? Why lay aside
this hallowed garment that has wiped
the tears of sorrow from the face Of
childhood? In its sacred embrace
every generation has hidden its face
in shame; clinging to its motherly
folds. tottering children have learned
to play hide and seek and from 1t
youth learned to reverence and re-
apect womanhood. Can man think Of
his mother without this consecrated
garment?
Why this inordinate thirst for pow.
er? is not woman all powerful? Man
cannot enter this world without her
consent, he cannot remain in peace
without her blessing and unless she
sheds tears Of regret over his depar-
ture, he has lived in vain. Why this
longing for civic power when God has
made her ruler over all? Why crave
authority when man bows down and
worships her? Man has given woman
his heart, his name and his money.
What more does she want?
Can man find 1t in his heart to look
with pride upon the statement that his
honorable mother-in-law was one Of
the most powerful political bosses in
the country, that his distinguished
grandmother was one Of the ablest
in the Cenate or that his
mother was a noted warrior and her
name a terror to the enemy? Whittier

my views may have in them the smell
Of the soil; my hair is turning white
under the frost of many winters and

made gowns for all the suffragette's
constitutions and bylaws in the world.
AS a power for purifying society,
wouldn't give one prayer Of my sanity
mother for all the women's votes In
Christendom. AS an agency for good
government, / wouldn't give the plea
of a mothers heart for Righteousness
for all the oaths Of ONCE in the land,
There Is more power in the smile
Of woman than in an act Of congress.
There are greater possibilities for
good government in her family Of
laughing children than in the cab
met of the president Of the United
States.
The destiny Of this nation lies in
the home and not in the legislative
halls. The hearthstone and the fam
lily Bible will ever remain the source
of our inspiration and the Acts Of the
Apostles will ever shine brighter than
the acts of Congress.
This country is law-mad. Why add
to a statute book, already groaning
under its own weight, the hysterical
cry of woman? II we never had .
chance to vote again in q lifetime and
did not pass another law in twenty
five years, we could survive the or
deal, but without home, civilization
would wither and die.
God save these United States
from becoming a hen-pecked nation;
help us keep sissies out Of Congress
and forbid that women become step
fathers to government, is the prayer
of the farmers Of this country.

MIR. Bryan's Message to France.

New York Herald
"If the Nations will only make known
for what they are fighting"
This from William Jennings Bryan to
Baron d. Estournelles de Constant might be
dismissed as a mere illustration of igno-
rance did it not smack strongly of gratuit-
Gus insult to this eminent French leader in
the cause of peace and to the people of
France.
Does France need to tell any one-even
Mr.. Bryan-what she is fighting for? Is
it possible that there is single American
who does not understand that France is
fighting for her beautiful life, which has
glorified history-that the men of France
are giving their lives, that the mothers of
France are gladly giving their sons, to save
their beloved land from the ruthless Hun
who has swept in upon her soil to lay it
waste and rob its people of their birthrigt
of freedom?
Surely every other American UNDER
stands, even if Mr.. Bryan does not. Per-
haps Mr.. Bryan does not want to under
stand; perhaps he does not think that a
country s freedom IS 'corth fighting for.

''In a political campaign every man with
an ak to grind seeks the newspaper editor, !"
said Mr.. D. D. Moore, of the New Orleans
Times Picayune, last Saturday at Bunkie.
True; but a newspaper editor who allows
any class of self-seekers to 'work" him,
not only loses his space and independence,
but his influence, also, and newspaper men
are beginning to draw the line on the in
sinuating gentleman who is so persevering
in his efforts to get something for nothing.
We have known Mr.. "Ax-to- Grind" for
fifty six years. There is nothing in him. -

The Cost Of Worry.

Memphis Commercial Appeal
Worry kills. It robs man and woman of
their sleep. 1t saps their vitality. 1t rem
ders them helpless and impotent.
Worry will defeat the most ambitious. 1t
will make the strongest men weak. 1t will
sap the keenest intellect. 1t is the cause
of the increase of insanity.
With clean conscience, strong phys
zeal constitution and life lived clearly
there is no occasion for worry.
Women worry over little things. The
average women will worry if she has moth
ing serious to worry about. 1t is the frailty
of the sex. Women, however, can stand a
greater tax of worry than man can. A
woman becomes stole when it is necessa
ry. Man too frequently gives way to worry.
He is willing to admit defeat. He will
accept the inevitable. He offers but little
resistance. With some men it is different.
They have superb control of themselves.
When worry comes they accept it, but do
not give way under its insidious influence.
They do not let the outside world know of
their silent worry. They look their fellow
men frankly in the face and suffer in ST.
lence. Such men usually win out in the
end. They are triumphant over the greatest
worry because of their mental strength and
their persistency.
Worry and exhaustion are responsible for
suicide, they are responsible for the in
crease in immortality. They are difficult to
combat. We must be prepared to assert
ourselves over all worry. We must keed
thorough control over our mind and nerves.
We must not expect all to be serene, and
when the future is filled with dark clouds
we must hold our own against all worry and
discouraging visitations.

Ave! Ave! Sir!

Running through vein of fine irony
directed against German "kultur ana
ideas of civilized warfare, there is in the
Chicago Post high tribute and the amende
honorable to Admirable Semmes, "the rob-
Der and plunderer of unarmed vessels, as
that Confederate naval officer was gener-
ally termed by the Northern newspapers
during the War Between the States. The
Post wonders what those newspapers would
call Semmes now in the light of German
submarine exploits.
It thinks it altogether probable that Won
Tirpitz would laugh at him as sentiment
alist and mollycoddle." In order to con-
sistency, Won Tirpitz could not logically do
less. And for the reason, as the Post
points out, that in twenty-five months
Semmes boarded 1856 vessels, sank fifty
two and took 1900 men off enemy ships.
In this long career of naval warfare not a
single non combatant or neutral life was
sacrificed. Moreover, all enemy ships car
rying non -contraband cargoes were releas-
ed under bond and all passenger vessels
with women and children on board were
also released.
Judged by the standards of German SUBJ
marine methods, the Post argues that
Semmes merely played at war; and "his
conduct was positively soft-hearted."
"'Robber and plunderer' indeed!" ex-
claims the Post in conclusion. "He was
tender and chivalrous gentleman.
Aye! aye! sir!--Richmond Meas Leader.
Justice, though long delayed, to South
ern hero! Admiral Semmes, the pride of
the Confederate Navy, was, indeed, "a
tender and chivalrous gentleman" who
never forgot, even in the heat and hate of
battle, that he was an honored representa-
tive of the grandest Nation and greatest
and purest people the sun has ever shown
upon. Though denounced at the time by
an INSCRIPTIONS Northern press, he never
disgraced his flag by warning on unarmed
men, women and children. AS much cam
not be said of some other ''great" COM
manders of the past and present.

verted their way, and they have forgotten

ings. Behold, we come unto thee; for thou
art the Lord our God. Truly in vain is

For shame hath devoured the labor of our
fathers from our youth; their flocks and
their herds, their sons and their daughters.

fusion covereth US: for we have sinned

fathers, from our youth even unto this day
and have not obeyed the voice of the Lord
our Gods, 20-25.
