Doubling The Regular Army

! Out of the deadlock between
the House of Representative es
and the Senate on the size OF
the army to be provided by the
Amy Reorganization bill has
come sudden agreement. The
conference reports the bill to
the two houses this week and
prompt ratification should be
the outcome.
| Under the present law a
maximum size is provided for
the army, but no minimum. I'm.
der the Army bill, as now
amended, there will be a mini
mum of 100000 men, and it will
be the duty of the War Depart
ment to see that the forces do
not fall below that number.
The maximum size of the army
in time of peace may be IT'S, 1000,
if the President so decides, and
in event of national emergency
the President may increase the
mum ber to 2lS,75O men, without
further action by Congress.
In addition to these mum bers,
which include only the fighting
regulars, there will be in time
of peace in round numbers 5000
Philippine scouts, 5000 Of the
Quartermaster corps, 1000 of the
Medical corps, 5000 of the Signal
corps, and nearly 5000 unassigned
enlisted men. The President can
create, without Congressional
Iaction, an army of 254,O0O men.
This is more than double the size
Of the present regular army.
There will be added to the ex-
listing organization 35 regiments
of infantry, 10 regiments of cal
vary, Is regiments of field artil-
lery, 10000 men in the coast AZ
tillery, five regiments of engin-
eers. The largest increases
come in the field artillery and
engineering branches, where the
need for technical skill and
special training makes sudden
increases most difficult.

cause to kick.
The girls of stohay had better
look to their laurels. My state
ment might appear rash, but
thinking men will agree with
me when / say that while men
have progressed and have high
er standard of morality than
they had fifteen or twenty year
ago, woman has deteliorated.
To-day a man has to be a much
better man morally than ever
before in the history OF the
world. before he can be classed
as gentleman while the girls
of to-day say things and do
things that their good mothers
would never have dreamed of
doing.
Another thing, / for one do
not want to see my wife, my SIS
ter, or my mother hanging
around the polls to see the result
of close election, chasing voters
up and down the street, or ha-

but for woman's sake | hope it
never will.

Should Women Vote?

| vote. One Or the leaders Of that
'Convention, observing the three
women sent as delegates, said:
"One of them is a childless wild
ow, another barren wife, and
the third an old maid-no won
der they want to vote, there is
nothing to interest them at
home."
To quote Kipling again:
woman can give no more to living,
than the powers that make her
great,
AS the mother of the infant, the
mistress of the mate"
One of the noblest, grandest
and greatest things In the world,
is motherhood. 1t is not only
privilege, but an honor. The
true mothers place is in the
home where she can rear, edu-
cate and develop her children.
We do not need women voters
near so much as we need more
mothers and better mothers.
The old saying that "the hand
that rocks the cradle rules the
world" is true. In modern
times, competition is so keen,
times are so troublous, that the
huband has but little time to
devote to the rearing of his chill
dren. He leaves home early in
the morning for his business.
He comes in for dinner tired,
aud has to hurry back TO work.
lie comes In at night tired, worn
out with the worry, and strife
and turmoil of business affairs.
(lf men do not pay their wives
proper attention, it might be
good thing for the wives to cul-
tivate q smile when their hus-
bands come home after q days
work, instead of meeting him
with quarrel.) What time
does he have to devote to the
proper upbringing of his chill
dren? This whole duty devolves
upon the mother. She is the
one to inculcate in the minds of
those children lessons of morali-
ty, decency, and higher ideals of
life. More than one great man
has said: "All that l am | owe
to my mother"
Man is often weak. he is only
human, he makes mistakes, he
errs. but what of woman? She
is only human, and how many
do you see entering the marri-
age relation with the fixed de-
termination and resolve not to
bear children? Such women are
cheats, to say the least, for one
must pay for everything in this
world, and we pay highest and
suffer most for the best things.
There is something sacred
about the very name of woman.
Why does man raise his hat to
a lady? Why do men stand aside
when she passes along the street!
Why do the very worst of men,
except in rare and isolated cases,
show Difference and respect to a
lady? 1t is because of her modes.
ty and honor. When woman
surrenders her modesty, she los
es respect Of man.
For example if a man were
running for office. and woman
was running against him, oppos-
ing him on the stump, critising
his character and official acts,
and trying to influence voters
against HIM, do you think that
that man could possibly feel the
same respect for that woman
that he would have for lady?
Certainly not for when a woman
enters politics and the turmoil
and strife Of business affairs, she
must at least surrender that
modesty which IS one of the
greatest charms of a good wo-
man, and when she does, she
loses the respect of man, and
should lose respect for herself.
1t is pity that the girls OF
the country do not. spend more
time preparing themselves for

Since the organization of an
Equal Suffrage League in Ches'
terfield this question has been Q
live one locally. 1t is the inten.
tion of this paper to present botf
sides impartially. Mr.. P. a
Murray, this week represents the
. opponents. Next week will ap.
Ipear an article favoring the
cause. Replies to either OF
these articles will be received,
and so far as possible, will be
published-Editor.
Editor of The Advertiser:
l have been requested to write
you a letter stating why 1 oppose
Woman's Suffrage, and I will
give my reasons best / can.
The first and best argument
against woman voting is history
itself. The wisdom of the ages
has decreed that woman's place
is in the home, (not as som e
suffragettes in sarcasm put it,
an the kitchen), but in woman's 8
place in the home. 1t has de-
creed that man should be the
bread-winner for his home; that
he is to fight the battles of life
for his family; that man shall
control and dominate In govern
mental matters.
A few people might pick out a
few isolated cases, and say that
men do not properly provide for
their families; that some of
them mistreat their wives. If
this is true, why not bring it to
the attention of the good men of
the community, and have the
man punished for his wrong, in
stead of acquiescing in condi-
tions, and simply urge giving
woman the ballot. How in the
name of goodness does giving
woman the ballot keep a man
from mistreating her or from
failing to provide for her? So
much for that argument.
The Bible is the best authori-
ty for mans superiority over wo.
man In matters of authority. 1t
was the woman, and not the
man, who yielded to the bland
ishments of the serpent, (and
she has been yielding ever since,
If the serpent had the time, the
opportunity, and the desire to
use his blandlsnments), and St.
Paul says: but l suffer not q
woman to usurp authority over
man. For Adam was first cre-
ated, and then Eve. And Adam
was not deceived, but the wo-
man being deceived was in the
transgression.'. Again in Gem
esis, after the fall, we find God
saying to the woman: Il will
greatly multiply thy sorrow and
thy conception; in sorrow thou
shalt bring forth children; and
thy desire shall be to thy hus-
band, and he shall rule over thee"
(Bold face mine.)
Thus those who say that there
is no authority in the Bible for
opposing Woman's Suffrage must
believe that St. Paul was fool,
and that the Bible is untrue.
Paul voices practically the same
sentiment many times.
Now there are some who quote
Plato, and say that he is as emf
nent an authority as st. Paul.
All that l have to say about
them is that they are preaching
infidelity.
50 Thus it has been through the
ages thai man has ruled over
woman in governmental affairs,
for by nature he is stronger in
such matter. Woman is ruled
absolutely by her passions and
emotions. For instance where
sterness or strictness is required,
you will find her yielding to the
emotions of love or pity. She
is full Of sentiment and passion,
and must Of necessity fail in
practical matters where cold, ju-
dicial logic and discrimination
are reuuirod For tho abnye
