A Southern Woman's Tribute to the
Women of Yesterday"

IT HE whole South will rejoice to know
that Southern woman made one of the
best speeches, at the recent Federation OF
Womens Clubss, in New York City, that has
been recorded.
The South has been immensely proud of
Mrs Cora Harris, because of her many
delightful books and stories; it will be
prouder now, that she has taken stand
against the fad of suffrage, and shown, as she
did in her speech, that the woman of yester-
day practised all the things the rampant
su1fragette of today is trying to preach, and
practised them so we'll that she produced a
civilization and homo influence that are as
far removed from the influences and homes
of today, as the stars are from the earth.
In part, Mrs. Harris said:
"She accomplished some of the best and
sternest scriptures of American life. She
Intelligent. She had the courage of a pioneer
and the patience of saint, and she was no less
progressive than the woman Of today. She started
further back in time and had further to CO. This
is the only difference. She was q pioneer who
faced wilderness and wrought with faith and
infinite labor to establish the ideals of liberty and
righteousness upon which this civilization was
founded. If tho of today with the
same courage the race that is set before them, if
they preserve these ideals with the same forti-
tudo thoy will do well, but not better than she
has done.
virtues deIicately and in secret if these were
the ritual of her faith.
'She was a domestic economist who never
wrote a paper nor addressed club this SUBJ
jeC But she literally practiced these arts of the
home about which agitate more than we
achieve. She was that of the proverbs
who looketh well to the ways of her household
and eateth not the bread Of -idleness. She made
the things which we buy, and she knew better
how to save than know how to spend. All
the doors of industrial and professional life were
closed to her. Nevertheless she was, strictly
speaking, producer, not g. consumer She
founded the best and most stable American home
that has ever existed and she maintained it with
a dignity and diligence which the woman of today
cannot su~pasS.
'She produced great men, not great issues,
and she did not produce herself at all. She was
only the blessed medium through which all life
flowed, receiving from her a certain fneness, a
color of the spirit, vague and gentle effulgence.
She was not tne epochal woman. She was the
mother and patient prophet of that woman
The fact that this woman ruled, from the
home, made it the one spot on earth for those
hardy pioneers who were making history, and

who could do nothing without her aid,
should be the most smashing argument that
could be offered to offset the fad Of the pres
ent day woman's rights advocate.
The right OF the woman to the protection
of the home, was the one thing the woman
of yesterday demanded-and got.
She worked hard, it is true; at times it
must have seemed that her work would never
get her anything but the absolutely essential
things-but it was through that work, and
through the example she set, that the men OF
later generation were evolved.
Her patience, her planning, her thrift, her
comforting presence; her ability to make the
next best thing do, for the thing she wanted,
could not fail but make the men she managed,
more patient, Drawer, more earnest, and fit
for the part they played afterward in history.
The story of the Civil War has never been
completely written, and never will be, until
the hidden chapters of the women who worked
and kept the fires going on the home hearths,
are given to the world.
These women belonged to that class of
whom Mrs. Harris spoke, and more earnest.
study of them, their methods, their aims, and
the glorious results they achieved, would for
ever put down the fallacy that only through
the ballot could woman achieve.
We need more homes, and less hustings;
we need more mothers and fewer "orga-
MIXERS" And when we have gotten these,
back on the job of home making, home keep
ing, and mothering their own children, we
will have race Of men-husbands and sons,
worthy the women.

NEWSPAPER WRITERS FORM PRESS CLUB
 FUR MUTUAL BENEFIT

The Arizona Press Club, an organi- zation composed exclusively of news paper men was tentatively formed yes terday at meeting of a number of local journalists. It is the plan of the organization to include in the club s membership newspaper men engaged in the profession throughout the state.
 James c. Simpson, night editor of The Arizona Republican, was elected president of the new organization, while Theodore Anderson, Republican press agent, was selected as secretary
 Immediately a membership campaign will be started to secure additional members among the journalists of the state. Both those who are employed on the news ends of papers and those men who have done service on the editorial and reportorial staffs of papers, but now engaged in other lines of endeavor, will be invited to join.
 The organization has been formed for the purpose of increasing the eff ciency of club members. create a closer feeling of harmony among the newspaper men of the state and for their mutual benefit.
 President Simpson appointed Theo- dore Anderson as chairman of the membership committee, which also includes Chapin Hall. city editor of the Arizona Gazette, and Robert P. Holli- day. of The Republicans reportorial staff. This committee will start it's campaign immediately.
 For the present, due to the courtesy of the Moose lodge, the club is holding its meetings in the library of the Moose Home.

THE INFLUENCE oFTHE "LUBOk'

In Russia the humorous and satir- ical papers are read only by the edu- cated classes. Though such puDlica tions as BOudilnic, Youkomorye, and Novi SatirikOn have been publishing countless war cartoons, reflecting every phase and turn of the great struggle, these perodicals do not reach the primitive. illiterate people of the widely scattered villages.
 1t is the cartoon, of course. that reaches and influences the ma asses, and in order to reach the masses several of the Russian journals began publishing the cartoons in seperate sheets. They were known as ''iuboks' or posters, and while many of them were crude and even savage in thelr execution. they carried their message directly to the hearts of the people.
 Tons of these luboks have been turned out They have gone every where, into the remotest communities where books and newspapers are never known One doesn't need to know the alphabet in order to under stand a lubOk. Its meaning is clear and on the surface. and when you consider that millions of these cheap colored posters have flooded the high ways and byways of Russia, you can begin to understand their influence

On the Right Track at Last

The gubernatoral contest is now on the right track which it should have been started three weeks ago. There is something to be contested, the election of Governor elect Campbell. It was un fortunate that much of politics became injected into court action, much jockeying in matter in which every man and woman who went to the polls last November concerned.
 In ordinary action at law only two parties interested The public is concerned in the result and is expected that each will reach the other if he Justice is not usually the thing aimed at; that is abstract justice, but advantage
 An election contest is a different thing. The right of every citizen in the state is involved. The only thing sought is the will of the voters who partici pated in the election.

HARRIS SAYS KEEN IMAGINATION WAS
 CAUSE AJO SCARE

Col. Charles w. Harris. adjutant general of the Arizona National Guard, who was ordered to Ajo early in the week for the purpose of investigating conditions in that town. returned yes terday morning none the worse for the trip.
 Colonel Harris stated yesterday that he talked with everyone in the town who would know if there was to be an invasion by Mexican bandits, and with the exception of a few guards at the plant of the New Cornelia Mining company. no one was aware that there was to be an invasion.
 The majority of the business men had heard practically nothing of the Mexican trouble until copies of out side papers started to arrive.
 The colonel stated that he had talked to a COW puncher who had made the trip from Sonoita to Sasabe, two Mex ican towns. The puncher said that there were less than thirty five Mex ican soldiers the whole length of the line between those two towns. Of the thirty five, there is not one who has more than five cartridges, so scarce is ammunition below the line.
 It was admitted that the Carranza soldiers are terribly worried about Senor Villa, and should the bandit king appear in that section. which is very unlikely supposition, there is no doubt that he would carry the day, in so far as the Carranzista soldiers are concerned
 It looked as though the Mexican sol diers had been scared through rumors coming from Ajo, and as if the Ajo- ties had been panic stricken through rumors coming from the Mexican camps. It resembled a headlong stam- pc" according to Harris
