Urges Mr.. Weeley to Study Laws.

To the Editor Of THE TIMES:
Mr., weeley. who claims as proof that
South Carolina protects women. the
fact that a seat in car is given to her,
should look at something real and sensi-
ble-he should study the laws which
a few years ago were about to give the
children of drunken father to the
paternal grandfather, deprive the wife
and mother, who was a good woman. OF
them ALL on the ground that the father
alone had any rights to the children OF
a marriage.
The mother was obliged to go to the
courts outside Of South Carolina to get
a right to care for her own children.
In Virginia today the father has the
sole right and authority over the chill

OUR RIGHTS ABROAD.

Theoretically every visitor to Des
Moines is as much entitled to securi-
ty on one street as, another, at one
hour Of the night as another. And yet
the soundest advice given to strangers
is to choose the streets they frequent
with sonre care, and the hours at which
they are frequented.
This Is not situation peculiar to
Des Moines, nor even peculiar to Cit
les. Our rights In the abstract and our
rights in the concrete vary greatly
wherever we are and much common sa-
gacity must be exercised at every turn
in life to give us the sort of security
the law contemplates.
Theoretically every American has the
same right to protection in Mexico that
he had two or five years ago. Theoret-
ically every American should feel free
to sail in European waters on any
mission of business or pleasure. But
the concrete fact is that no American
is safe at all in Mexico, and no Amer
lean is safe in European waters. And
it is not the fault of the American gov
eminent that he is not.
1t is a condition and not a theory
that confronts us, and to go ahead
laundering into trouble asserting an
abstract right would be Just as fool
ish Of use internally as it was in the
days of the old dead line here In Des
Moines for the stranger to the city. ig-

HOMES For RURAL TEACHERS.

| A permanent home, provided by the
school community for rural school
teachers, is giving great satisfaction
where 1t is In vogue, according to
Harold w. Foght in bulletin just
issued by the United States bureau OF
| education.
While out of 5000 teachers replying
to Mr.. Foghts inquiries only seventy
| three live in homes provided by the
community, the bulletin shows that
teachers who have such homes find it
possible to become permanent COM
munity leaders. in the few commun-
tiles reporting permanent homes" de-
clares the bulletin, 1.-The teachers are
usually able to project the school into
the home and draw the home close to
the school. Where teachers cottages
are provided, these, aside from making
naturally become rallying centers for
all communities"
The Investigations Of Mr.. Foght re-
veal that in rural United States the
average time for each public school
teacher to remain in any one school is
less than two school years of 14O days
each. This average" says the bulletin,
lis very much less for a majority of the
teachers, the few permanent, profess
sional teachers alone bringing it up
close to the two-year level"
AS the average age when teaching is
begun Is 10 years, and the average num-
Der of years taught is only 61a, the
bulletins statistics show that the rural
public schools of the country are taught
largely by young unmarried people who
have no idea Of following teaching as a
profession.
The conclusions of Mr.. Fogt are: 80
long as teachers continue to be peripa-
tetics, the best results in community
leadership can not be expected. A
change from amateur to professional
teaching in the rural schools would be
fastened by giving the teacher a salary
that would enable him to provide COM
fortably for his family, and by COM
pelling the community, thru legal en-
actment to erect teachers cottage in
close proximity to every school plant"

"A few days ago prominent citizen

not take the son as a risk, declaring
it was against public policy for boy

1T would seem that this pretty thor

What railroad company would think
Of turning over a steam engine to q

And yet there wouldn't be near the
risk in that that there is driving big

Isn't that pretty sound sense?

the Nus OF THE CAMPAIGN.

| The women who are conducting the
campaign for woman suffrage in lows
published a suffrage supplement to the
Des Moines Register and Leader which
appears with today's issue Of the ex-
cellent newspaper and compares IA
vorably to the male made section. AS
| an item in the propaganda it is one
which should be very convincing OF
the intelligent equality Of women with
their other halves and that they are
entitled to equal political rights-if
they want them.
| There's the point. The leading edi-
torial of the feminine section of the
Register and Leader puts a finger on
the vital point in the canvass when it
says:
The most serious menace to the
campaign are the women who are in
| favor Of suffrage but who say, "Oh,
it's going to carry anyway, 1T does not
| need me- Half dozen women Of this
type in any community are vastly
| more dangerous than any number Of
anti-suffragists. The antis at least
wake up the other side. Indifferent
and lazy friends do nothing at all, and
by their false security prevent others
from working.
At any time within the past ten
years woman suffrage might have
been granted in Iowa had the women
made sufficiently notable demand. AS
concerns the attitude Of the men Of
the state toward votes for women
there has been no denial Of the justice
of such equality Or the intelligence
and moral fitness Of the women OF
Iowa. A majority Of the names Of the
women on a petition asking for the
ballot would have brought home the
bacon. A respectful BILE minority would
have had the same effect. But no such
demonstration has been made. On the
contrary the women considered in gen.
eral have not made evident that the de-
mand is general and inclusive Of any
great number of Iowa women.
The keystone OF the campaign is not
so much the men who vote as an ex-
preston of the women who desire to
vote. If the women speak up al home
and in their communities woman suf-
frage will carry readily over the OPP
position of the sordid interests that OPP
pose it. 1t will have TO beat the sa-
looms and the old line democrats but
it will do that safely enough If the
women Of the precincts are sufficiently
interested in votes for themselves to
ask the legal regal to cast them.
OF course equal suffrage is inevita-
BILE. So we are informed is the mil
lenium but few are quietly awaiting
the millenial period without seeking to
hurry it along. Woman suffrage may
carry in Iowa without the voices of
Iowa women demanding it in chorus. 1t
will certainly carry II the women OF
the townships and the counties and
the homes ask and demand it.
Here's a political axiom for the use
Of friend wife, sister and daughter.
The movement that organizes the pre-
cincts need not worry over the state.
