Ralph Bingham, another number on the forthcoming entertainment course, is a humorist who for forty years has been making large audiences laugh and still is In the prime of life. This Is accounted for by the fact that his first appearance was at the age of six RALPH BINGHAM. years, when he traveled as the “Boy Orator of America.” Ills appearances on the American platform number nearly 10,000. T. De Witt Talmage, after hearing Bingham, said: “Bless Bingham and all the apostolic college of humorists. The man that makes me laugh Is my benefactor. God bless all skillful pun sters, all those who mirthfully surprise us with unusual Juxtaposition of words. Theirs Is a divine mission.” Mr. Bingham Is an Impersonator a humorist, u violinist, a pianint au£ n vocalisL Our Prices and Our Business to All Alike. We have no favorites. Whether in Fordson Tractors, Ford Cars or Trucks or Supplies for Them or Service in General, all patrons are served with equal and uniform courtesy —a square deal to all. Flay the game wilh us; you can get what you want when you want it. We are in business to serve )ou. R. J. McN ATT ! Uvaida and Mt. Vernon Increased Power in Suffrage Vote . Seeing then that we ought to charge up to the race problem the , faults of the race problem, let us see what will be the probable effects of woman suffrage itself. Os course, we are going to have some trouble from selfishly am ' bitious women in politics, just as we have always had from selfish ly ambitious men. But from the rank and file of women voters, if we may use the term, what may we expect? 1. Women as the mothers of the race are naturally interested I in childhood and all that affects it. Is it not likely therefore that women will be especialy interes ted in better schools, better health conditions, the prevention of injurious child labor, and all other measures to give childhood a better chance? 2. The majority of women have higher moral standards than most men. Even a selfish inter est would make women interested in suppressing drunkenness and immorality, because the wives of America have suffered most from dissipated husbands and sons. Is it not natural to expect therefore that prohibition and other laws looking to the elevation of our moral standards will be better supported as a result of woman’s vote? 3. Women hate war and love peace. May they not be expected to throw their influence in favor of some Supreme Court of Nath ns as a substitute for war? 4. Women love beauty. Hence i may we not expect them to use their power to encourage the beautification of public buildings and grounds, school houst-s, parks, streets and roadways ‘o an extent unknown heretofore? To sum it up, what does woman s iff rage mean? It simply means more power for women. If a woman is of the wrong sort, it means more power for her wrong tendencies. If she is of the right wt, it means more power for her right tendencies. And since everybody believes that the r e are more women with right ten dencies than with wrong, it is easy to hope that the net results be good. Anyhow, since woman suffrage is here, even former anti-suffragists ought to try to believe this. When a bad man in a Virginia neighborhood died, an old Negro woman said, “Well, I hopes he’s gone where I ’spects he ain’t!” We commend the philosophy of the old Negro woman to those who still fear the effects of suf frage. Let them hope for the best even if they really expect the worst—and wait and see the thing tried out.—The Progressive Farmer. NO. 24.
