LISTEN, WORLD!
By Elsie Robinson

at the poems they wrote about
women! At the jousts they
fought in honor Of women!
Yes, indeedy. The boys put on
a good act. But poems are de-
lightfully easy to write, and
who wouldn't rather fight a
joust than do a regular days
hard work?
No; the concrete evidence of
the male attitude toward the
female lies not in the gesture
he made, but in the laws he
wrote concerning her. There,
in the statutes, you will find
the low-down. And it is some
loW-down. 49,.
The Free State
Consider Maryland-My-Mary-
land. Was there ever a State
that boasted more of her chiv-
airy than Maryland? Were
ever gents more gentlemanly
than on her rose-embowered
acres? Never!
Yet, while insisting that a.
gentleman do everything but
turn a back somerSault at the
sight of a. lady, this State also
granted him the right to beat
her with stick, provided it
be mo thicker through than
his thumb; and though it
made a gallant hullabaloo
against divorce, it also ruled
that a husband might support
his mistress under the same
roof with the wife, and his
misses couldn't do a thing
about it.
Then. if that is the way men
really felt about women, why
all the beautiful manners? Be
cause they were part of. the
racket-a social anaesthetix,
as it we're, which so dazzled
the lady that she ceased to fuss
about her real condition.
Men put women on pedes-
tals-yes. But they didn't do
it to worship them.
They wanted to keep then
out of the way while they (the
mem got by with murder.
Such were the gentlemen Of
grandpa's day. And yet thou
sands of idiot females are still
making a fuss because they've
passed out of the picture!
What is a gentleman? What
is lady? They are both
human beings, neither more nor
less, and they should act with
all the kindness and common
sense of which the human race
is capable.
There is no more reason why
a man should take off his hat
to a woman, than there is why
a woman should take off her
hat to a man. Women are of
no finer clay than men, no
more sensitive or helpless. They
are Just regular guys, and
should be treated as such.
And "a perfect gentleman"
is simply an honest, kindly,
sensible person who treats ALL
humans, regardless of sex, with
fairness and friendlineSs.

ONCE-OVERS

Envy and greed leave their
marks on human beings.
You expect a pig to look
piggy.
But it is a sad commentary
to witness and recognize the
human of the species.
If you are young, think it
over, just what you want your
personality to express when you
are old.
Because whether you like it
or not your old age will be a
mirror of your past thoughts
and inclinationS and no amount
of makeup can cover it.
If you are older and you
really want to change your
character, it will be harder,
but it is possible and if you
want friends by all means con-
troll your avaricious spirit.

"Populace"- What
Does it Mean?

The debate was interesting
to students Of history and
government in many ways.
1t revealed, in a few illumi-
mating expressions from SEN
ator Fess, why, under the
ruling forces just now, a
mockery is being made of
the pretension that we have
a democracy in America.
Thus, when there were
murmurs of approval for
Borah in the gallery. Fcss
contemptuously referred to
the masses of the people as
the "populace." -" Most il.
Illuminating word, coming
from the spokesman of the
Administration IT is a word
often on the lips of the kings
and tyrants in the old days;
it was a favorite word with
the American Federalists be-
fore the American people
hurled them from power,
and, in the election Of Jeffer-
son, according to Henry Ca
bot Lodge, definitely de-
termined that this should be
a democratic republic.
Populace1what does it
mean? What did Fess, speak
ing for the Administration
mean? 1t means, to quote
Webster, "the common peo-
pie, the vulgar, the multi
tude, the mob"
And them Fess and Borah
disagreed on the relation of
government to the people,
and this is revealing, too.
Fess took the position that
the people are the servants
of the govern m n t, and
Borah that government is
the servant of the people.
That is the difference be-
tween autocracy, or pluto
cracy, and democracy.

ors of a like, ungallant nature.
Therefore, say the girls, he
ISN'T a gentleman.
But the young man persists
that they are wrong. Such
gestures, he protests, are not
the test of gentleness. Maybe
they were the whipped-cream-
dressing once, but they're not
necessary now. And WON'T I
tell the girl friend they aren't?
So there you have the
makings of a very tidy row.
When is, and when ISN'T, a
gentleman? And is a 1882
gentleman the same breed of
cat as a gentleman of the old
school?
Insincere Motives
Obviously he isn't. But that
does not necessarily mean that
the prize bottle of hair oil
should go to the chivalrous
Charles of yesteryear. Granted,
their manners were lovely. But
doubt me much if their mo-
tiveS were sincere!
Consider this little matter Of
taking off ones hat to lady.
How did it start? Very pref
tily. The assumption was that,
the lady being of finer clay,
she should be treated with
reverence.
Beautiful idea! But did the
boys really mean it? Did they
honestly believe that females
were of finer clay. diviner es-
sence? They did not. They
most certainly did not. They
actually believed that mentally
women were on a par with pigs,
and morally as untrustworthy
as viXenS.

fault Of their own, are fight
ing against starvation, will
not read the Fess-Adminis-
tration speech. Mr.. Fess
spoke of the function of our
Government as that of "pre-
serving the liberty and keep
ing open the opportunity" of
the people; and one would
imagine that opportunity has
been kept open when 8,000,-
600 breadwinners are denied
their inalienable right to
work. And then he added
that "the Government is or
ganized and conducted to
protect individuals in their
rights and not to support
them ''-as though they had
been pr tee t e d in their
rights.
But Borah answered:
Why did no, the Sena-
tor say to the banks and
corporations who were on
the verge of failure: Go
back home; resuscitate your
own frozen assets; take care
of your own private business
-. Therefore, you bankers
and corporate interests, 60
back home and take care of
your own business; this is a
private affair; this is a in
diVidual affair.""
The Washington times., 1932-02-16
The Spokesman
Of the White House

There were other features
of the debate that are inter-
esting. When Fess harped
on the blessed word "dole, "
and was asked by Borah to
explain why money to pre-
vent starvation from a city
treasury is not a dole and
money from the National
Treasury to meet a national
crisis is a dole-he had no
answer.
No one has answered that
question.
No one can.
And there was another
thing that startled us. Sena-
tor Fess spoke of these mil
lions of jobless men who
want work, and the millions
OF their dependents as po-
tential vagabonds, loafers,
beggars; because he said
that if they are given bread
to preserve their lives, they
will not want to work
again, but will become
chronic beggars. That is
as brutal as anything we
have ever heard or read
and as false and slanderous.
And Senator Fess spoke as
the chairman of the Repub-
lican National Committee
and spokesman of the White
House,
