THE VOICE OF MOTHERHOOQD Up at Washington the lawmakers are in session. .They are deliberating a question of very grave concern to the nation. It is the purpose of the administration to put this nation on a war footing with the other great powers of the world. If the plan is carried to execution it means that your fair sons and mine will probably be snatched from their homes to de- fend their country upon the bloody battlefields of a war which she her- self has courted. Women Know the Best. In that Congress are represented all the great interests that profit- by war rparties, presidential ambitions and in some measure, humanity; but motherhood has no voice there. It is women who know best the needs of the home. It is they who _| should make laws for its protection. With the lawmaking power they could make their homes secure from the ravages of the monstrous war god, secure from ‘the burden that war preparation forces down upon them. Actuated by the home instinct tney could solve the economic prob- lems that make child labor, slums and prostitution possible. It is not be- cause these problems cannot be solv- ed that they remain unsolved today. It is because the forces which profit by them have the majority represen- tation. in tke law-making bodies. Look to the States. This Congresz, taking its cue from the executive, will tell the suffrage workers to go to their respective states to ask for representation, and, bhaving thus summariliy dismissed the irksome question, will turn its at- tention to making laws which menace the home. Women have no recourse ‘but to wait, to work and to educate —and, to wait until the majority of men are just. The woman who can, reason the rclation between toy drums, martial music and gold braid, and militarism is better fitted for motherhood than, the best cook and the most immacu- late housekeeper in the land. Ask your neighbor if he is a mem- ber of the League. If he is not, find out why. See that. he lines up and does his share. This matter. is too serious for petty preJudlce or porsonal opmlon. THE FARMERS’ WIFE The life of the average farmer'’s wife.is hard and somewhat lonely. She has little society and her life -is. spent in one perpetual round of bard work which is never ceasing " and which never lessens in amount. There are exceptions however, but this is the case, generally speaking.. The bankers should advance money for washing machines and other conven- iences on the farm just as readily as they lend money to the farmers for threshing machines and silos. It is not half as hard to ride all day. on a wagon from shock to shock as it |z is to stand over a washtub, cook the meals, scrub the floors, separate the milk, feed the calves and chickens, and, do a hundred other tasks. Hired girls on the farm are hard to get and harder to keep. Farmers’ daughters because of the drudgery decide to leave the farms and, take up easier work in the cities. Coffins are the most expensive commodity sold. It is better to invest in labor saving devices.

For the last two and a half years Miss Smith has been the organizer of the National Union for Suffrage in Edinburgh, and since the war began bas shown fine organizing ability in the management of societies for the relief of soldiers and sailors and their % | families. WILL FAVOR SUFPRAGE A Poll made last week shows that | a majority of the Northwestern sen- ators and representatives will sup- port suffrage in the present congress. Every man who refuses to become a member of the League helps lower the price of grain and raise the cost of interest just that much. FARGO TANNERY ANDREW MONSON, Prop.
