WHY IS WOMAN RESTLESS? DC8TINY OF NATION8 DEPENDS ^ UPON CONTENTED HOMES. Ru Uf P? I .uJk ?" -' i.l " y 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 motherhood? Is it not a sufficient political achievement for woman that future rulers nurae at her breast, laugh in her arms and kneel at fcer feet? Can ambition leap to more glorious heights than to sing lullabies to the world's greatest genuises, chant melodies to jpaaster minds and rock the cradle of human destiny? God pity our country when the handshake of the politician is more gratifying to woman's heart than the patter of children's feet Woman la Ruler Over All. Why doea woman chafe under restraint 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 respect womanhood. Can man think of his mother without this consecrated garment? Why this Inordinate thirst for power? Is not woman all powerful? Man cannot enter this world without her consent, be cannot remain in peace without her blessing and unless she sheds tears of regret over his departure, 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? j 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 influence in the dress of woman than in all the statute books of the land. Aa an agency for morality, I wouldn't give my good old mother's homemade gowns for all the sufTragette'a constitutions and by-laws In the world, As a power for purifying society, 1 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 righteousnesj for all the oatha of office In the land There la more power In the smll? of woman than In an act of congress There are greater poasibilities foi good government In her family ol laughing children than in the cab inet of the president of the United States. The destiny of this nation lies ir the home and not in the leglslatlvt halls. The hearthstone and the fam ily Rible will ever remain the sourc< of our inspiration and the Acts of thf Apostles will ever shine brighter thai the acta of Congress. This country is law-mad. Why ad( to a statute book, already groaning under its own weight, the hysterica cry of woman? If we never had t chance to vote again in a lifetime anc did not pass another law in twenty five years, we could survive the or deal, but without home, clvllizatioz would wither and die. God Bave these United Statei from becoming a hen-pecked nation; help us keep sissies out of Congresi and forbid that women become step fathers to government. Is the prmyei of the fanners of this country. > A DIVINE COVENANT. God Almighty gave Eve to A dan -with the pledge that she would be hli helpmeet and with this order of com panlonsbip, civilization has towere< to Its greatest heights. In this rels tlonship, God has blessed woman am man has honored her and after fou thousand years of progress, she noi proposes to provoke God to deeo; man by asking for suffrage, thereb; by amending an agreement to whicl she was not a party Woman, remember that the Israelii scorned a divine covenant, and as i result wandered forty years in th wilderness without God. Likcwis man Bhould remember that it is dangerous thing to debase woman b law. Rome tried lowering woman' standard and an outraged clvilizatlo; tore the clothes off the backs of th human rece and turned them out t roam in the world naked and uz ashamed. I I I WILSON VS. BRYAN. Spartanburg Herald. The people of this country are cal ed upon today to do a most rare at extraordinary thing. They will res with intense interest the message < America to Germany as voiced 1 President Woodrow Wilson and sit by side with it the eloquent appei of William Jennings Bryan, privai : c'tizen, to justify him in a most e ratic notion and to believe in h 'method as against that of the m tion's elected head and spokesma Having read the two great documen the people will think with stimulate power upon the most momentous i sues now confronting the world ; 1 large as well as ourselves. Thousands of good citzens will fe somewhat muddled. They will woi : der just where they are "at." Bi the more they think it all over tl more difficult it will be to understar Bryan's recent action on any othi basis than the assumption that he the victim of misguided judgmen beclouded by passionate idealism. Not only did he resign at a critic moment, so that Germonay might 1 led to misinterpret the situatk here and believe us a divided peopl but he haB lost no time in issuing passionate appeal to the people sustain him rather than his ehiefrather than the elected responsib j spokesman of the nation. Suppose he were to succeed bringing half or three-quarters the nation to his way of thinkin where would we be now? Our go eminent lias spoken. It has eommi ted the nation to a given course. M Bryan is not in power. He could 11 lave the execution of his polcy. O viously the country would be in tangle?a muddle such as Hernial might well laugh over and mea while decide to go her own way whi we struggled to get government ai 1 people into harmony. Yet all this tl ex-secretary does not seem to see all. Nor does he see apparently lie strange it is for him to appeal for public judgment which, if given his favor, would mean not merely d 1 sertion of his party chief and rece ' i superior in office, but actual inju ilto that chief at a fatal moment? I moment when his country's welfa , hangs in the balance. .Mr. Bryan's appeal is eloquent t ( vond any thing, we helieve, that h | ever issued from him. Its noble pt , sion for the rescue of humanity frc ' the cruelty of war disarms all cri 1 cism as to motive. It is vibrant 1 sincere and earnest. Taken by its< [ without reference to practical c , cumstances and actual conditions 1 , ready upon us, who is there won [ disagree with it? r Yet this trouble with Germany h been growing for weeks. As sect I 1 tary Mr. Bryan had signed the nc 1 of May 13. Germany showed no rt ' appreciation of the feelings and cc ! victions of this country by her rep What could we expect, if now at tl state of the question, after stati t our convictions and taking a certs position, our government had si ' dcnly changed its attitude coniple ly, declared that we had decid never to use anything but "persi sion" and ottered to wait on a yea ) | discussion of the issues at stake, ? We are dealing with nations, r i about a quarrel, but already in death grapple, one so fierce and d ' perate as to threaten our citlzt j w ith serious consequences?one, deed, that has already brought st I den death to over a hundred citizt . in one fell stroke. Can we in t t face of this dangerotis reality s i nounce that "persuasion," 1 "force," is henceforth to be our 01 resort for protection? > President Wilson thinks not. J * as anxious to avoid war as Mr. Bryi * he yet realizes what it means to standing on the edge of a maelstn ? of war, where "force" is as a mat I of bitter fact, the only power bei respected by anybody. 1 We have no doubt where the p ? pie are going to stand They are j I Ing to support the President of United States before all the natio I t'ainrul regret at the well-meant, I r grievous mistake Mr. Bryan ] w made, will be felt but no dlsposlt f to desert the President *n his hei f task. k .

A cashier who 01 would dare to cast bread upon waters fc, ! that did not return buttered side up v- In time for annual dividends would It- have to give way to a more capable [r man. This does not necessarily mean of that the bankers are getting any better h or that the milk of human kindnesss is j 1 being imbibed more freely by our flnana ciers. It indicates that the bankers are 1>' getting wiser, becoming more able flnn anciers and the banking industry more le competent. The vision of the builder is 1(j crowding out the spirit of the pawnl10 broker. A light has been turned on ,u a new world of investment and no usurer ever received as large returns on the investment as these progres,u slve bankers, who made loans to a uplift Industry. The bankers have in always been liberal city builders, but le- ! they are now building agriculture, nt A Dollar With a Soul. ! i. r/ It Is refreshing in this strenuous _a commercial life to find so many dollars with souls. When a dollar is fti> I proaehed to perform & task that does J |(i not directly yield the highest rate of interest, we usually hear the rustle _ as of the eagle's wings as it soars upls" ward; when a dollar is requested to . , ?ni return at the option of the borrower, d ti- I it usually appeals to the Goddess of I ly Liberty for its contractural rights; 8lf when a dollar ls asked to expand in ir_ volume to suit the requirements of |( industry, it usually talks solemnly of its redeemer, but soul material has 1 ' entered Into the vaults of our banks and rate, time and volume have a new basis of reckoning in so far as re- tho ability of some of the bankers >te permit them to co-operate in promote ;al lng the business of farming. ,n- God Almighty's Noblemen, ly These bankers are God Almighty's ljs noblemen. Heaven lent earth the "r spirit of these men and the angels .S will help them roll in place the "!1 cornerstones of empires. They are lf*~ not philanthropists; they are wise bankers. The spirit of the builder eel has given them a new vision, and ia- wisdom has visited upon them buslr's ness foresight. The cackle of the hen, the low lot of klne and the rustle of growing crops echo in every bank vault in the ,l nation and the shrewd banker knows that be can more effectively increase >us bis deposits by putting blue blood In in- the veins of livestock; quality In id- the yield of the soil and value Into ;ns agricultural products, than by busl)le ness handshakes, overdrafts and in. gaudy calendars. ]ot Taking the community Into partnership with the bank. opening up a 1 y ledger account with progress, making thrift and enterprise stockholders and ust the prosperity of the country an an. j asset to the bank, put behind It be stability far more desirable than a | om letterhead bearing the names of all ter the distinguished citizens of the com- i I munity. The bank is the financial power house of the community and 1 blessed is the locality that has an eo~ up-to-date banker.
