THE MANNING TIMES I. I. APPELT---------------------------------------------------_.Editor F. M. SIHOPE--------------------------------------- Business Manager PUBLISHED EVERY WEDNESDAY. MANNING, S. C., FEBRUARY 6, 1918. WOMAN A WORLD POWER What is to be the status of the American woman when this war is over? This is a question that is exercising the minds of a great many people these lays. For a genera tion, now, she has been contending for equal political rights, and of late years she has been coming into her own in this particular. For a number of years, too, she has been gradually invading the ranks of business, though not to any alarming (?) extent. But with the calling of the millions of men to the army, the call has at last come to woman to demonstrate that she is, as members of-her sex have long contended, capable of shouldering the business .'oad and bearing it "manfully." It is no unconimon sight now to see women doing what has always been considered "men's work." Not such as clerking, bookkeeping and all forms of clerical work, but hard labor, work that until lately it was not thought wo men were capable of performing. We see them on public works of various kinds, in factories and work shops; and just lately a great steel magnate was quoted as saying that he would not be surprised if before long he had to take on a thousand women to take the place of men draft ed for the army. But, when the present emergency is past, will woman resume her old sphere of semi-dependent and home body; or will she hold tenaciously to what she has gained and re fuse to be ousted from her recently-won vantage? In case she should consent to resume her old status, the world wouldl soon readjust itself and human life would continue toflow on as before. But in the latter event, the entire rusiness fabric of the world will have to be remodeled and rew adjustments and alignments made. The addition of a few million female workers will make a great change in labor conditions-a change that will call for careful hand ling. But perhaps the most vital question in this connection is that of its influence on the homes of the land. The Uni ted States has always been pre-eminently a nation of homes. With us the home life has been enthroned above every other interest of life, and nothing was suffered to interfere with its highest possible development. Will the home suffer in the years to come? Before the question of "the woman at work" is definitely solved, this one vital question will have to be answered, and on its answer hangs the destiny of a nation.
