DESTINY OF NATIONS DEPEND8
UPON CONTENTED HOMES.
By W O. Lewis.
President Texas Fanners’ 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 geuuises, 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 rfr
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? Mam
canuot 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
are we drifting and where will we
land?
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 tbe 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
tor 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 tbe president of tbe 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 weight, 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 tor suffrage, thereby
by amending an agreement to which
she was not a party
Woman, remember that the Israelite
sebrned 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
(uaui in the world naked and un¬
ashamed.
