Railroads Life Easier
1 or Women On Jhe farm
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 x 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
for them.

OLD-TIME BAPTIST
CALLS MODERNISTS
RELIGIOUS COCKDOS
NEW YORK, Dec. s.—Dr. W. H.
P. Faunce, president of Brown uni
versity, and other modernists in re
ligion .were characterized as “reli- •
gious cuckoos” by Dr. Thomas
Shields, of Toronto, last night at the
third of the Baptist fundamentalist
meetings.
Dr. Shields, head of the Baptist
Bible union, previously had stated
that the conferring of a degree by a
Baptist university on Dr. Faunce
was a “disgrace to the Baptist de- w
nomination.” Dr. Faunce’s reply
that the fundamentalists were likely
to slough off the main body of the
Baptists and form another denomina
tion brought forth the assertions last
night from Dr. Shields that the un
ion would not get out of the denom
ination. The modernists, he assert
ed, were just waiting for his group
in the denomination “to build col
leges and schools, pay off the debts
and then get out.”
“We will do nothing of the s»rt,” •
Dr. Shields declared. “The funda
mentalists throw down the gauntlet
to Dr. Faunce and all his kind. We
are willing to fight this issue to a
finishw ith these religious cuckoos
until they no longer foul our nests.”
