win be worth sssing. You will
sse in her the type Of woman
that has kept France at the head
Of the nations Of the world. You
will see In hsr play the terrific
energy that the Latin mothers
have given to their sons Of Italy,
France, and Spain for mora than
1000 years.
You know uothing about peo-
pie unless you know the women
Of the people. May Madamoiselle
Lenglsn soon give up tennis for
maternity, and, married TO some
man Of the Bayard or Duguesclin
typs, contribute what sks owes TO
France In the future. No great
woman should remain single.
Power comes through the mother.
Some interesting spots--whers
the apple fell on Newton, where
Columbus landed on this conti-
nent, where Icarus fell into the
sea from the first flying machine,
whore Kosciusko fell, the spot
whence Elijah In his chariot
started upward, where Lucifer
struck on his downward fall.
No spot more interesting to
Americans generally than one
John d. Rockefeller pointed out
to his grandchildren where he
raised flock Of turkeys seventy
three years ago and earned his
first dollar.
Tho people Of the United States
have proved more valuable than
that original flock. But 1t is .
fortsinats thing for all Of them
that John d. Rockefeller made
his first dollar and his first hun
dred millions, and knew how TO
keep them. The work done IN
fighting disease through his In
stitute, his infnitsly more Inn
portAnt work In proving that
competition IL Unnecessary and
public ownership possible will
benefit the human race for .
thousand centuries.
Private ownsrship Of railroads,
so-called high development Of
American intelligence and sffi-
cheney. reminds you Of ! sick baby
with this ricketts,. needing night
and day nurse.
In war. when tho Gcvsrument-
owned railroads Of Germany work
ed efficiently. never once breaking
down. it was nccessary for the
people of the United States to run
their own railroads, and while the
people paid out thousands Of mill
lions, the railroad owners" were
paid the highest dividends they had
ever drawn. So much for war.
Now comes peace, with railroad
and passenger rates enormously
increased. Industry, and other
branches Of business. says it must
have lower railroad rates.
So you read that four hundred
million dollars yearly will be taken
from the wages Of the railroad
workers in order to keep "efficent
private ownership on its feet.
A system of private railroad
ownership and management that
can only survive in war time by
robbinR the peoples pockets and
in peace time by robbing the rail
road workers ought to be replaced
by better system.
Human beings that know little
of mysterious high finance and less
about money, and what 1t is. have
no right to express opinions. But
there seems to be common sense
in bill introduced by Senator
Watson, Of Georgis. making Fed
eral bonds legal tender,
II those bonds, with the matured
coupons cut off, were made legal
bender, just HOW would that hurt
the country
They are certainly NJ good A.
money, for II they are not good
the national money isn't good.
You may say that the owners
Of the bonds would squander
them and that they would all
soon drift into the pockets Of
the big money owners. That is
