OPPRESSED OF THE WORLD
FIND THEIR CHAMPION

Gentlemen, the select classes Of mankind are no longer the gov;

the second session.
We are beginning family to understand why Woodrow VIII,
son is acclaimed by the peoples of Europe as the president Of
the people Of the world"
There is revealed in the majesty of his words a vision
beyond the understanding of the average mind.
He is hailed as the prophet Of mankind because he trans
lates into language the silent and hitherto inexpressible yearn-
ings of the human heart.
He is trusted by the great mass Of toi'ers the world over
because he has interpreted correctly the emotions that have
welled for a thousand years in the breasts Of those who have
feared to strike, but have been content to pray for industrial
freedom.
If the language of the president is the sentence of doom for
the princes of the Old World it also is the proclamation Of free
dom for the laboring masses of the New World.
The world is approaching an era that will have a new con-
cepton Of justice-a justice, let us hope, without %retribution, if
there can be such a thing, for the injusices of the past.
Henceforth there must be under the law an equality for the
rich and the poor. Every citizen must be regarded as an equal
stakeholder in the government that was ransomed and is held
intact by the blood and sinews of men whose proWess on the
standing,
No man hereafter must presume to speak for the people
unless he is of the people and chosen by the people,
AS the Old World had its aristoeracy Of family, we were
beginning to build up an aristocracy founded upon wealth. The
assumption has been that there must be an upper and a lower
class of the same people.
The war put an end to that fallacy. Men and women of all
degrees did their part, without which there could have been no
victory.
themselves how they wish to be governed, 1t Is an individual
matter for self-deternination. They may govern well or badly,
but so long as they do not involve the stability OF other nations
or the rights of other peoples the responsibility, if they are
capable Of assuming it, is their own.
In our own country we not only must recognize the rights
of all men, but the laborer, the workman, men in all grades of
industrial enterprise, must be encouraged to assume their rights
and their responsibilities.
The rich must not be penalized and the poor must not be
made to suffer. Each man must carry his own burden, but no
man must be permitted to shirk and another required to assume
a part OF the burden OF another.
If the words Of Woodrow Wilson were required to fire the
hearts of people Of the Old World, burdened for centuries viii
the weight Of oppression, how much more magical should they
be to the people Of our own land who cherish freedom above all
things? To the people of Europe his prophecy was a promise
but to us it IS a fulfllment.

SECURING BONDS

The government has announced another issue of bonds,
which patriotic people will be expected to buy, and no doubt
they will, for, while they have invested magnificenuy at every
call, they have not yet reached the bottom OF their weaselskins,
and there is more money left for the government.
Fighting has ceased, but the war is not over by any means.
The demand for money is as imperative at this time as it ever
was, The next issue is to be called Victory bonds" and there
name Liberty bonds" People would be more disposed to invest
in these securities if it could be so arranged that they would
not be in peril of losing them. The large owner of bonds can
rent a safety deposit box, but the small holder cannot afford
this. theoretically bonds can be registered by applying at the
bank of purchase. In practice there are many dsheartening
bitches.
A large number of Liberty bonds have been lost or stolen
and the legitimate owners could no more identify one of them
than he could a biscuit or an ear of corn.
Other government bonds are registered in Washington, anc
losing them is not easy, because possession is not sufficient evi
dence of ownership, as is the case with war bonds.

to think about she begins to think
about herself and her husband.
Now it is inevitable that no one a
turn a searchlight upon their W lot
In life without finding in 1t a million
flaws, and that fate has not given them
a fair deal. II is still more inevitable
that any woman who puts her husband
under the microscope will discover that
he isn't the hero or ner romantic
dreams and that she is a poor, perse.
cuted, unappreciated martyr and a do
nestle slave.
There are millions OF disgruntled, dis
i%llusioned, fretful wives. There are also
millions of husbands OF such women,
who wonder what alls their wives that
they are not satisfied with anything
enough to know that the trouble is
too much home staying on the woman's
part n the remedy Is for her to so
out.
All she needs is a change. To get
out Of her own house and get m
thing to think about besides herself.
To get some fresh ideas. Have some
new experiences. to see how other peo-
pie live and find cut that the troubles
that she thinks are tragedies are pin
pricks compared to the sorrows that
others endure.
II men only realized this. and that

would do more to, take the curse Off
Of matrimony than anything else In
the world. II husbands would spend
more money on theater tickets for their
wives they would have fewer doctor
bills to pay. Many q divorce could be
prevented by sending the wife off on
q trip somewhere, for sheer boredom
Is at the bottom of half OF the family
quarrels. Husbands and wives fight In
the desperation OF WEAKNESS Of each
other IN order to put some pep into
domestic life.
Furthermore, wome should bear this
IN mind: The best loved and most
cherished wives are not those who are
the most domestic, but those who are
most interesting and most agreeable to
live with, A man would rather have
dust In the corners than cobwebs in
his wife's brains, and he would rather
sit down to a plain dinner that Is gar
nlshed with pleasant gossip and fresh
ideas than to n that Ia cooked to
perfection, but favored with dull talk.
Mons ideals of women have changed,
though they may not know II, and IT'S
the woman who keeps up with the
times who keeps up with her husband
In these days. The snail m Is left

It's queer how our standard Of VAL

our grandmother's time the highest
praise that you could bestow upon a
married woman was 10 say n a she

her own doorstep, and to have no in

in the home" everybody crier, and ev-
erybody felt the closer prisoner a won-
an was kept in the home, the better
for her and the world, =.
Nowadays we have come TO see that
the snail with its house on Its back
isn't the most elevated object in ma
ture. and that there Is no reason why
a woman should emulate It, We have
also come to see that the woman who
il an Alice sit by the fire, and who
knows nothing and sees nothing ex-
cept the things that happen In her own
kitchen, nursery and d~ooryard, makes

The brightest mind grows dull II IT is
not kept polished by rubbing up against

ideas and thoughts from tho outside.
A great deal OF the morbidness, the
irritabilIty and the bad health from
which women suffer, and which they
In turn inflict on their helpless fani-

a woman should stay put In her house

1t will not be necessary to raise more cotton to knock the
bottom out Of prices and bring disaster on the South. Planting
an increased acreage will do it. If 100000 acres or more are
planted this spring the bears will have all the argument they
want to put prices down below the cost of production, and, once
down, it will take time to put them up again. The best prop
to hold up cotton prices is plenty Of hog and hominy. Wheat,
oats, peas and feedstuffs will grow on cotton land, and these will
keep cotton prices stable. With plenty OF food the farmer will
not be forced to sell his cotton at ruinous prices, and holding
it off the market will stabilize prices. The cotton planters have
it in their own hands to fix prices, If they do not protect
themselves they will have to bear the brunt as well as the blame.
