M burning question was
w that of franchise for
women. In that day everyone
men and women both-thought
there was some argument
about it. Women were fit to do
all the hard work in the world,
and the few who struggled
through law or medical courses
invariably came out ahead OF
the men in class work, but there
was a general impression that
no matter how estimable and
lovable members of the weaker
sex were, they shouldn't have
any authority.
Nothing to say about schools,
or politics, or business, or hous-
ing, or morality. The only
voices that could speak on these
topics were those of men. In
the delicate questions of their
souls, of their ailments, of in
comes and responsibilities,
women must be guided by men.
Women are not yet awake. They
are still being led blindfolded
through life by the all-controlling
males. But at least they are STIR
ring in their sleep, and political re-
sponsibility, being granted short
20 years ago, has encouraged them
to work for recognition in higher
positions and in statecraft.
Future Holds More Freedom.
Twenty years! Biologically one
second. In a hundred years they
will only have begun to grasp the
full power of their shackles and to
take their rightful places as sex,
prisoned too long in world of false
conditions; conditions made by men
only, and for which both men and
women pay.
Women are gregarious. They like
community life. Generations ago
young mothers would have united
their interests, gotten together
groups of babies, commissioned
few mothers in turn to do the tend
ing, cook the spinach, watch the
sleepers, and so have freed two
thirds of the other mothers for sew
eral days housekeeping, sewing,
study and relaxation each week.
But man, jealous and monopolis-
tic, decreed that each woman should
have her own little separate estab-
lishment. His business is run on
a cheerful, companionable, group
unit plan. But until some 80 years
ago no wife ever touched money of
her own; it was doled out to her in
dollars and half-dollars, for shoes
and gas and meat. She dared not
even dream of a Babies club, in
which she and her congenial friends
and group of happy children might
share the nursery years. No, her.
man decreed, consciously or uncon-
sciously, that the only companion
she might have in her long firing
days was some ignorant young for
eigner.
Work Could Be Organized.
If women's work could be organ
lied as mems work is; with centers
where small children fourished I'M
der the care of their own mothers;
with a garden, a playground,
well-equipped attic for rainy days,
reading hours, music, language
study, there would be happier
homes, less divorce, less nerves, less
psychoses. Women hunger for this
economic, safe, inspiring solution for
the small-years problem, but men
still frown it down. They never
think what it does to wife to spend
all her waking hours in the presence
of three small, restless, demanding
children and an Armenian girl of 10
whose great interest is the Thurs
day night dance.
And women, still taking mems or

THOSE so DESTROYERs

NEW YORk.-The fight to sell so
of our destroyers to Britain is led
by the two whirling dervishes of
the third-term assault on American
tradition-the glamorous Senators
Josh Lee and Claude Pepper. Each
has right to be as fanatical as he
pleases-as Pepper is for Old Doc
Townsend's cruel deceit Of the
aged; as Josh is for the uncompen-
stated confscation of property.
Both schemes would wreck beyond
repair the economic strength of this
country in time of great danger.
During our Civil war, Great Brit
ain permitted swift Confederate
commerce destroyers to be fitted out
in British ports. They gave the final
push to our once-supreme merchant
marine-a blow from which it never
recovered. Our protests continued
for years. The British finally ad-
mitted that for this sort Of illegal
participation in undercover war, the
offending country is responsible in
damages for every loss its unlawful
act has imposed.
Apart from any such quibbling as
Josh Lee is doing to make a mock
cry of statutory and treaty obliga-
tons, let's not overlook the Ala
bama claims. They involved, in the
main, only two wooden ships. What
would so destroyers involve?
There are some vital factual ques-
tons which should be considered
against all this juramentado third
term hokum.
Are these vessels "obsolete"? If
so. how can it be urged that the
life Of the British navy depends on
them?

TOBACCO ROAD
NEAR COMPLETION
Last Link OF Shallotte To
Whiteville Highway IN
der Construction

The last short gap of highway
No. 100 from Whiteville to Shall
lotte now being completed will link
Brunswick and Columbus counties
by hard surfaced road for the first
time.
A heavy poundage of this years
Brunswick county tobacco crop is
due 500 to roll over this last Sec
ton of the improved highway on
the way to Whiteville and other
markets of the Border Belt.
The road, subject of agitation in
Brunswick county for the past 20
years, has always constituted prac-
tically the only route to market since
its transformation from a dirt road
to an improved sand-clay highway
several days ago.
Completion of improvements on
the last short gap of the highway
will provide residents of Columbus
and adjoining counties with an ac-
less to Brunswick county beaches
and r%ecreational facilities.
Southport officials say the high
way has been needed badly as an
inlet to hundreds of sportsmen from
central and western North Carolina
and nearby states on their way to
the coast for fishing and hunting.
The road is expected to bring in
additional hundreds Of summer Wis
itors and tourists intent on spending
a vacation on the Brunswick county
coast.
Governor Cameron Morrison, the
father Of paved roads in North
Carolina, was among the first men
to e the need Of a paved road
from Shallotte to Whiteville. I'm.
provements of the entire route of
the highway should be completed
shortly.
