RESTLESS?
DESTINY OF NATIONS DEPEND8
UPON CONTENTED HOMES.
By W D. Lewis.
President Texas Farmers' Union.
Why is woman dissatisfied? Why
does she grow restless under the
crown of womanhood? Why is she
weary of the God-given jewel of moth¬
erhood? Is it not a sufficient political
achievement for woman that future
rulers nurse at her breast, laugh in
her arms and kneel at her feet? Can
ambition leap to more glorious heights
than to sing lullabies to the world’s
greatest genuises, chant melodies to
master minds and rock the cradle of
human destiny?
God pity our country when the hand¬
shake of the politician is more grati¬
fying to woman’s heart than the pat¬
ter of children’s feet
Woman Is Ruler Over All.
Why does woman chafe under re¬
straint of sex? Why revile the hand
of nature? Why discard the skirts
that civilization has clung to since
the beginning of time? Why lay aside
this hallowed garment that has wiped
the tears of sorrow from the face of
childhood? In its sacred embrace
every generation has hidden Its face
in shame; clinging to its motherly
folds, tottering children have learned
to play hide and seek and from it
youth learned to reverence and re¬
spect womanhood. Can man think of
his mother without this consecrated
garment?
Why this inordinate thirst for pow¬
er? Is not woman all powerful? Man
cannot enter this world without her
consent, he cannot remain in peace
without her blessing and unless she
sheds tears of regret over his depar¬
ture, he has lived in vain. Why this
longing for civic power when God has
made her ruler over all? Why crave
authority when man bows down and
worships her? Man has given woman
his heart, his name and his money.
What more does she want?
Can man find it in his heart to look
with pride upon the statement that his
honorable mother-in-law was one of
the most powerful political bosses in
the country, that his distinguished
grandmother was one of the ablest,
filibusters in the Cenate or that his
mother was a noted warrior and her
name a terror to the enemy? Whither
i are land? we drifting and where will we
God Save Us From a Hen-Pecked
Nation.
I follow the plow for a living and
my views may have in them the smell
of the soil; my hair is turning white
under the frost of many winters and
perhaps I am a little old-fashioned,
but I believe there is more moral in¬
fluence in the dress of woman than in
all the statute books of the land. As
an agency for morality, I wouldn’t
give my good old mother’s home¬
made gowns for all the suffragette’s
constitutions and by-laws in the world.
As a power for purifying society. I
wouldn't give one prayer of my saintly
mother for all the women’s votes in
Christendom As an agency for good
government, i wouldn’t give the plea
of a mother's heart for righteousness
for all the oaths of office in the land.
There is more power in the smile
of woman than in an act of congress.
There are greater possibilities for
good government in her family of
laughing children than in the cab¬
inet of the president of the United
States
The destiny of this nation lies in
the home and not in the legislative
halls The hearthstone and the fam¬
ily Bible will ever remain the source
of our inspiration and the Acts of the
Apostles will ever shine brighter than
the acts of Congress
This country Is law-mad Why add
to a statute book, already groaning
under its own w-eight, the hysterical
cry of woman? If we never had a
chance to vote again in a lifetime and
did not pass another law in twenty
five years, we could survive the or¬
deal, but without home civilization
would wither and die.
God save these United States
from becoming a hen-pecked nation;
help us keep sissies out of Congress
and forbid that women become step¬
fathers to government, is the prayer
of the farmers of this country.
A DIVINE COVENANT.
God Almighty gave Eve to Adam
with the pledge that she would be his
helpmeet and with this order of com¬
panionship. civilization has towered
to its greatest heights. In this rela¬
tionship, God has blessed woman and
man has honored her and after four
thousand years of progress, she now
proposes to provoke God to decoy
man by asking for suffrage, thereby
by amending an agreement to which
she was not a party
Woman, remember that the Israelite
scorned a divine covenant, and as a
result wandered forty years in the
wilderness without God. Likewise
man should remember that it is a
dangerous thing to debase woman by
law. Rome tried lowering woman's
standard and an outraged civilization
tore the clothes off the backs of the
human race and turned them out to j
roam in the world naked and un¬
ashamed.
BANKERS URGED TO
GOME Wl
FI
SOUL MATERIAL HAS ENTERED
THE BANK VAULTS OF
THE NATION.
The Bank a Financial Power House
to the Community.
By Peter Radford,
One of the greatest opportunities fh
the business life of the nation lies
in practical co-operation of the coun¬
try banks with the farmer in building
agriculture and the adventure is laden
with greater possibilities than any
forward movement now before the
American public.
A few bankers have loaned money
to farmers at a low rate of interest,
and ofttimes without compensation, to
buy blooded livestock, build silos,
fertilize the land, secure better seed,
hold their products for a betetr mar¬
ket price, etc. The banker in con¬
tributing toward improving the grade
of livestock; the quality of the seed
and the fertility of the soil, plants in
the agricultural life of the community
a fountain of profit, that, like Tenny¬
son’s brook, runs on and on forever.
Community Progress a Bank Asset.
The time was when money loaned
on such a basis would severely test
the sanity of the banker; such trans¬
actions would pain the directors like
a blow in the face. A cashier who
would dare to cast bread upon waters
that did not return buttered side up
in time for annual dividends would
have to give way to a more capable
man. This does not necessarily mean
that the bankers are getting any better
or that the milk of human kindnesss is
being imbibed more freely by our finan¬
ciers. It indicates that the bankers are
getting wiser, becoming more able fin¬
anciers and the banking industry more
competent. The vision of the builder is
crowding out the spirit of the pawn¬
broker. A light has been turned on
a new world of investment and no
usurer ever received as large returns
on the investment as these progres¬
sive bankers, who made loans to
uplift industry. The hankers have
always been liberal city builders, but
they are now building agriculture.
A Dollar With a Soul.
It is refreshing in this strenuous
commercial life to find so many dol¬
lars with souls. When a dollar is ap¬
proached to perform a task that does
not directly yield the highest rate of
interest, we usually hear the rustle
of the eagle’s wings as it soars up¬
ward; when a dollar is requested to
return at the option of the borrower,
it usually appeals to the Goddess of
Liberty for its contractural rights;
when a dollar is asked to expand in
volume to suit the requirements of
industry, it usually talks solemnly of
its redeemer, but soul material has
entered into the vaults of our banks
and rate, time and volume have a
new basis of reckoning in so far as
the ability of some of the bankers
permit them to co-operate in promot¬
ing the business of farming.
God Almighty's Noblemen.
These bankers are God Almighty’s
noblemen. Heaven lent earth the
spirit of these men and the angels
will help them roll in place the
cornerstones of empires. They are
not philanthropists; they are wise
bankers. The spirit of the builder
has given them a new vision, and
wisdom lias visited upon them busi¬
ness foresight.
The cackle of the hen, the low
of kine and the rustle of growing
crops echo in every hank vault in the
nation and the shrewd banker knows
that he can more effectively increase
his deposits by putting blue blood In
the veins of livestock; quality in
the yield of the soil and value into
agricultural products, than by busi¬
ness handshakes, overdrafts and
gaudy calendars.
Taking the community into part¬
nership with the bank, opening up a
ledger account with progress, making
thrift and enterprise stockholders and
the prosperity of the country an
asset to the bank, put behind it
stability far more desirable than a
letterhead bearing the names of all
the distinguished citizens of the com¬
munity. The bank is the financial
power house of the community and
blessed is the locality that has an
up-to-date banker.
POLITICAL PRAYER MEETINGS
It is a sad day for Christianity when
the church bells call the communicants
together for a political prayer meet¬
ing. Such gatherings mark the high
tide of religious political fanaticism,
put bitterness into the lives of men;
fan the flames of class hatred and de¬
stroy Christian influence in the com¬
munity. The spirit actuating such
meetings is anarchistic, un-Christlike
and dangerous to both church and
state.
The success of the nation is in the
hands of the farmer.
Work for the best and the best will
rise up and reward you.
Tenant farming is just one thing
after another without a pay day.
