Railroads Life Easier
1 \for Women On she 3arm
Think a minute of what the railroads have done for the
women of this country—particularly the women living
on the farms and in the small towns.
Before the day of railroads, these women led rather
drab and monotonous lives; with small knowledge of,
and interest in, world affairs and little time for leisure
and cultural growth. With the things which railroads
have brought to them—modern housekeeping helps;
home comforts and entertainment; congenial society;
and direct connection with what’s going on in the
world, through newspapers and magazines, rural free
mail delivery and the Parcel Post—these farm and vil
lage women have little cause to be envious of their sis
ters of the cities.
With these pertinent facts before them, and in view
of the larger public influence now exercised by women,
let these women join in with the right-thinking men in
seeing that the railroads are treated fairly—particularly
in the matter of the legislation now being proposed to
. further restrict and hamper the railroads—and thereby
. show their appreciation of what the railroads are doing
: T fsr them. ....
