One Minneapolis woman named Hoover
says, l didn't register, but presume my hus-
band will cast his vote for Mr.. Hoover" That
"didn't register" denotes lot of name-loyalty,
doesn't it?
Considering how well folks-the average hui
man folks-like to fight it is not strange that
peace comes so slowly to the world. Look around
your own community and see how many are out
to give somebody else black eye either liter
ally or figuratively. We shouldn't expect of ma
tions more than we expect ourselves as indi-
viduals.
Is prosperity here because beef is selling for
the highest price since the record made in 1920?
1t all depends on whether you are hauling the
cows to market, or buying the steaks over the
block. But when Minnesota grown Herefords
sell at $15.75 hundred as they did at South St.
Paul last Thursday it sure dictates something.
Probably that Minnesota is growing mighty good
beef
eff Minneapolis taxpayers can afford public
improvements they also can afford adequate sal
aries for their school teachers" said Professor
Royal Meeker of Yale in discussing the ever-pres-
ent pay-for-teacher question Sounds like good
sense. But look at all the times Father has been
able to afford new barn or new harvester or
a new prize cow and yet just can't raise the mon
ey to get Mother power washer! 1t all hanks
back to the ideas of the person who holds the
purse strings.
Centuries before the time of Lincoln, some
Assyrian inscribed on stone some marks which
when translated read like this; "There is law
lessness everywhere Children no longer obey
their parents 1t is evident that the end of
things is at hand" And somebody was mean
enough to translate that. for the further confu-
sion of those narrow minded folk who think that
all this modern youth" movement is really
modern" and something to be mighty alarmed
about. Apparently the old boys were just as
much perplexed as to how to deal with the prob
lem the present day parents are.

| Alice Ames Winter, former president of the
General Federation of Women's clubs, has many
reasons why she is supporting Herbert Hoover
for president. She gives one of these in the
following little argument why women should
support the candidacy of Mr.. Hoover.
II would like to see Mr.. Hoover
| president because he has not been con-
| tent to talk sentiment about home and
| mother, but has been on the job for
| years working for better homes in AM
merica, with big towns and little ones
all lined up for building better, garden
ing better, getting children to under
stand home life. He has been the head
of the American Child Health associa-
| ton, with its work for children's living
conditions for their birthrght of sound
bodies and chance to be what God in
tended human being to be-children who
can run and sing and laugh. Mr.. Hoo
yer has been trying to bring the agen-
ces of government to bear on the prob
lens of creating better living conditions.
Why? To quote Mr.. Hoover, because
only in peace of mind can mans spirit
flower and his humanity expand toward
his neighbor. There is no doubt in my
mind that women hold the balance of
power in this coming election-that
they are less hampered by merely poti-
| Cdl tTdulIAOuS-tudI tuey are, III 1dCL,
tired of thinking of our national govern
ment as a great political game and are
determined to think Of it's as our fore
fathers did, as noble effort of states
manship."
No thoughtful person would care to
dispute woman,s clear right to vote and
participate in public affairs in every
way. And yet, since women have had
the ballot, it is not possible to say that
they have had much apparent effect on
the conduct of government or that they =
have changed much the character and
characteristics Of office holders. They
have increased the numbers of ballots to
be counted and have raised the cost Of
elections. They have made q few in
teresting speeches. Laws are apparent
" no worse or better. No great re-
forms have come into being which, in
all probability, would not have come in
to being anyway.-Grove Patterson.
Which is exactly as the thoughtful woman
