WOMAN'S THRONE


pinnacle to which she has ever as
cended or ever will ascend. The home
is the broadcast field in which she
could operate. To take her from
the domestic throne is to lower her
position. To take her out of the do
mestic field is to leave her without
position and without power. There
are women who object to these state
ments. There are women who are
trying to repudiate the domestic re-
sponsibilities, obligations, and rela-
tionships. There are women who are
asking that they be given the same
license and be permitted to travel the
same dubious road which men have
Travelled throughout the ages. They
are asking for the privilege of fol-
lowing the habits and customs of men.
If they are going to acquire the habits
of men they may be forced into the
position where the vices of men will
fasten themselves upon womankind-
Woman does not go into the home
to be tyrannized over, but when she
takes the imperial throne of Chris
titan wifehood and motherhood, she
is the dominant figure of society and
the controlling force in the world |
If the average wife would go home |
and stay there and perform her full |
duty toward her home and church,
her husband and children and her
God, she would transform the face
of society and lead America on the
march Sof reformation
The wives of today are responsible
for large percentage of the crime
wave that is sweeping the country.
Wives, go home. Stay home and at
tend to your our business which is
housekeeping children-rearing, and
home developing.

THE ANGRY AMERICAN FARMER
There is nothing surprising in the {
fact that the American farmer of the ! !
northwest today is angry, the Chicago
News holds The thing that really |
should provoke surprise is that the
American public so readily forgets
that the American farmers fits of
anger have been frequent and notable
in the country's history. t
Magnus johnson expresses his dis |
trust of New York finance no more i
than did Andrew Jackson.
Old Hickory modified the farmer
votes of the frontier against the )
eastern and European interests in the r
United States bank and overthrow &

against the capitalists. His speeches a
