woMAN's RIGHTS.

Inc TlgnC 70 De woman
With a woman's boundless worth;
To be ray of sunshine
And Of gladness in the earth;
To dare and fight and conquer,
Though misfortune, thick and fast,
Like the brown leaves of the autumn
Rain beneath the winters blast.
The right to soothe the suffering
And the racking, aching pain;
To seek and help the helpless
And the fallen raised again
To tell the sad and friendless
Of the mighty friend above
Who is flooding all creation
With the wonder of His love.
The rightly to do her duty
With will that can not fail,
With Overwhelming odds against her
Where the sterner cheek might
pale.
But she does not mind the anguish
And she does not count the cost,
Drawing courage from the failure,
Knowing right is never lost.
The right to be helper
And a partner in the strife,
With the man whom she has chosen
AS the comrade of her life;
To wear his love and honor
Like a priceless gem of worth
Guarded by her stainless virtue
Through the sordid walks of earth.
The right to be mother
With mothers wondrous power
To guard and train her children
While they're budding into flower;
Prayerfully to lead them onward
As they walk the upward way,
Till the pitfalls of destruction
Shall be lost in perfect day.
The right to make her living
Any honest way she knows
While the business world around her
Like the ocean GIBBS and flows
While the storms of life break Ger
her
Like the sands around the sea,
She should whittier, sweeter, purer,
From each restless billow be.
Her rights are great and many
Since the days of man begun;
With the courage of hero
She has gained, tl1em one by one;
While the masculine has watched her
With his jealousy and pride
Each demand he has resented,
Each advancing step defied.
Now the right to cast the ballot
Is her only right TO win;
1t viii be her sword of conquest
In her battles or SIM
With it she will crush the denon
Of intemperance and of crime
And the shame that has overwhelmed
Since the earliest days OF time.
No right more rightly hers
She will win it not in vain
She will guard it with her honor
She will WELD it with her brain;
1t will ever be her crown of victory
Wheresoever she may roam
Better wife and stronger mother
And the guardian of her home.
! Lula Pearson Wells.

The Bennington evening banner. (Bennington, Vt.) 19??-1961, 1916-12-28

The country has suspected for a
long time that Secretary OF State
Lansing is not big enough for his job
and his recent slip in declaring the
United States dangerously near mix.
ing into the European war has proved
the suspicion well founded. At no
time since the outbreak of the Euro
pean struggle have the people Of the
United States been so little inclined
as now to get into the war Only the
most stupid laundering on the part of
;he administration or congress can
get this country into the rivalry of

greed that is convulsing Europe with
out shadow OF reason on either side.
The American people are not DESTROYS
of contributing a thousand young
American lives and millions OF money
per day to help along the ambitions
of either England or Germany. Presi-
dent Wilson knows this and we be
lieve the country is safe with him in
the white house, but to make sure he
ought to get rid of the incompetent
Lansing. He probably won't listen to
the advice of The Banner, but if he
wants to strengthen his cabinet he
might with good judgment recall
either Ambassador Gerard from Ber
lin or Ambassador Page from London
fer secretary OF state. Either OF
those gentlemen knows something
about war from the inside and Lans-
ing could be let down easily by send
ing him to some foreign capital where

Belief In Ghosts.

In most Of the oriental countries, no.
tably in China and in many quarters in
Europe, the belief in ghosts is stlll ac-
tive, quite as much so as il was Il thou
sand years ago. The peasantry of Rus
STA and especially Of Siberia. are in con.
slant dread of ghosts. and much of
their time is taken up with devislng
ways and means OF safeguarding them
selves against their visltations. Not
even in the United States OF America IL
the ancient superstition defunct. The
negroes are notorious believers in
ghosts. and thousands Of white people
remote from the center OF Intelligence
are still the victims of the old idea.--
