rhe Scenes Of Long AgO-NO. 8

der OF things in vogue today.
It is true that many who lived il
the good old times before the Civi
War have passed to their reward.
There are yet living many who re
member the stirring times which
happened in the scenes of long ago
> Women in those days did not. want
much. They were happy and con
tented with their lot. Their sur.
roundings did not demand any of the
excesses seemingly enjoyed by wo-
men of today.
The women of long ago if they
did wear the fustiOn were devoted tC
their families and homes. sTheh
mind and hearts were centered or
those things which makes a happy
abiding place for the inmates 1nG
brings about that peace and happi
ness that should prevail in al
homes. Their very souls were wrap
ped up in their children, and thes
were taught at all times to shun evil
companions and to walk uprightly
at all times.
1t is no wonder some one in ths
oId days wrote that the foot that
rocks the cradle rules the world"
The cradle has been discarded.
Mothers have ceased to sing theil
loved ones to sleep by the sweet
lullaby of long ago. The cradles arc
now known as antiques and If not
sold have found Testing place IL
the attic of the homes.
We have nothing bu. praise fOl
the mothers of the early days, te
them we owe our freedom and lib
eSty we now enjoy.
We have no disposition to fine
fault with the present condition o.
things now existing. We suppose il
is what the people want. We might
tFy to correct a few things which
we believe to be wrong, but it wOult
bring down the wrath of the people
who believe in such doings.
If the unrest now PREVAILING
among the people is not checked II
will lead to more serious things.
MANY homes of today are simply
lodging place. Women have takeI
on many duties which should be
long to the men alone. ,..-
The writer does not believe tina.
the entrance of women in the pOliti
cal arena has advanced them from Q
social standpoint, but has tendency
to take from them that deep respect
generally accorded to them by mem.
bers of the opposite set.
The political atmosphere has moi
been made any purer by giving the
right to vote to the women.
If the women of today had that
pure affection which the old fash
ioned mother had, children would be
more fully looked after and not al
lowed to run the streets all hours o;
the day or night.
\ Perhaps if there was more love il
the home our courts would not be |
so full of divorce cases where mar |
'ried couples are seeking the disso-
luton of the marriage ties.
1t is now time for the world tC |
stop and think what the present un- !
rest will lead to. There must be &
time when the excesses we now
seem to enjoy must have an end.
Let the world turn from fhe things
which degrade and seek those things
which are uplifting at all times.
Rail by Prohibition Agents
A Statewide raid was made or
of the past week. The dry
officers succeeded in rounding up q
who were supposed to be engaged
in selling or manufacturing liquors
of different kinds.
Among those who were arrested

tremendous large stills, and must
run day and night to half supply the
demand. No, Mr.. Hill, you have

The present way of trying to pro-
0ibit the manufacture and sale OF
liquors seems to be a
allure.
The Volstead Act means we'll and

people from all standpoints, but the
