II Years
Of Emoncipoted
Womonkind
By Charles d. Rowe

Once upon time, SO Lue SCOIy
goes, a man on a New York sub
way train got up and gave his seat
to a woman. Whereupon she tainted
When she was revived, She thanked
the man-and he tainted
Which little anecdote caused US
to recall that somewhere we read
recently that I947 is the 9th an
niversary of the right to vote hav-
ing been won BY women. And with
it there has come a remarkable
to use a mild emancipation
of women.
We were told in those dear, dead
days of so long ago that If women
were only given the right to stand
on an equal footing with men and
permitted to cast their ballots on
momentous questions, they would
very quickly clean up the awful
rottenness so sadly prevalent IN
society, all of which was because
politics did not have the softening
and purifying touch of the fair sex,
of the mothers of the land. But
like many other dreams of better
things to come, that dream has
ended largely in disappointment.
Today we are constantly beng
warned by speakers and writers OF
the disintegration of the American
home. The juvenile delinquency
problem in these troubled days is
the most serious in the history OF
the nation. Womankind, once stand
ing securely on a high pedestal OF
respect and affection, has chosen to
step down from that pedestal. To-
dav we find vast numbers OF them
crowding men away from the liquor
bars. and they compete with men
in consumption of cigarettes, that
priceless little flag that has fastened
itself so tightly on the appetite OF
the world that it IS used as cur
rencv in some lands. Today we do
not respect woTnankind because she
is a woman and the mothers OF the
race. We respect only those who
have proven themselves worthy Of
respect. Gone forever are the gooo
old days and life that were with
us before women won their "eman-
cipation."
Now we wouldn't for moment
advocate taking away the franchise
from the women We only voice
The universal disappointment, or
this 9th anniversary of woman
so-called emancipation, that the re-
suits have been so Disappointing
Despite her new freedom there
are still lot of good women. we
need more of them.
AS readers of this column wei
know. we have more than once
expressed disagreement with james
C. Petrillo, the music car, for hr
policies at the head of the grea
musicians union However, We
freely concede that Jimmie ha'
something in one of his argu
ments. Today PetrillO's edict goe'
into effect against his musicians max
ing any more records or transcrlp
lions. His argument in support O
such action is that no one with
modicum of sense will continue thu
making of something that puts ont
out of work. Therein is Jimmie
best argument. 1t doesn't seen
reasonable TO expect a man to d.
something that will eventually pu
him on the breadline. Nevertheless
there is an argument on the othe
side of the dispute.
Touching on this point, the Port
land (Ore) Journal recently said

"The only safeguard a free people
can have is a government of limited
powers which is never permitted
to dominate the economic life OF a
nation" the San Francisco Daily
Commercial News declared in a re-
cent editorial on socialistic govern
ment. "Once government decides
who shall work and who shall not,
once it controls all the purse strings
once it becomes a mass employer
the end of individual freedom IS IN
sight Most of Europe is now
TRAGIC example of that fact.

ITS reported that virtually all the
225. 900 musicians in the tederation
drive automobiles, thus cutting
stapecoach drivers, stablemen ana
blacksmiths out of jobs. 1t also Is
reported a great majority live IN
steam-heated apartments, cutting
large number of wOodcutters, log
cabin builders and oakum workers
out of profitable work.
The Journal also says, regarding
Petrillo's edict. First feeling is one
of relief that tortured ears may
have a holiday from brass and drums
whanging away from restaurant
luke boxes and blatting through the
radios" And in that hope OF re-
lief we heartily unite.

During the past 10 years 30 thous-
and lives and so million dollars
worth of property damage was the
approximate toll of fires caused by
cigarettes alone in the U. 3, &C,
cording to a press dispatch. And
apparently no one is going to do
anything about it.
They saw something could easily
be done. It would involve making
a cigarette that goes out quickly
when laid down. But American
smokers do not like smoke that
requires frequent lighting. The
European cigarette goes out quickly,
thus causing fewer fires. 30 we
will probably go blithely on burning
up people and property.
