e . THE NONPARTISAN LEADER FIFTEEN Progressive and Practical Ideas for Women NEW SONG OF MOTHERHOOD By Angela Morgan. He shall not fight for lust of might, The sons of men he shall not slay; His sword shall be a sword of light To bring.the larger day. Wrapped in this little sleeping frame, frame, Curled in his heart, so small, so deep, A summons out of heaven came, A Primal Pledge to keep. O, little dreaming son of mine, I see Creation’s purpose shine. The mother soul that finely .hears The music_of the brooding spheres, Hath told the message thou didst bring, The song that I must sing. Mothers have sung of sword and shield, The splendor of the battlefield; My lips shall sing a nobler cong— The love that conquers wrong! . The Power that built the dome of space ' And, carved night’s pillars, firm and sure, Love that formed this little face, Hath shaped a purpose, pure. O driving Force that will not rest, That swings the suns and pearls the The radiant, dew, O Force that tkrills my mother’s breast, Help me to live that purpose throuch! s Amid the tumult of the earth, The shout of arms, the clash of steel, The wail of brutal death and birth, May he be strong to heal! O little son, O little son, What glorious conquests won! What huge comrpelling powers grope And flower in thy mother’s hope! What yearnings of the Primal Cause Shall plead earth’s higher laws! Thy tiny hands, like petals furlad, How they shall toil te bless the world; What flame shall leap from thy,small breast . To champion the oprrest! shall be O Star that shone to lead mankind, Help him the hidden rath to find, That he may speak Christ’s word again Of ‘Peace on Earth” to men! He shall not fight for lust of might; The sons of men he shall not slay; His sword shkall be a sword of light To bring the larger day! ) L ] L] Chiropractic (KI-RO-PRAK-TIK) The Science that Makes People Well nd Happy 'You'Necd Not Be Sick Chirepractic ADJUSTS the CAUSE of Disease INVESTIGATE o NEWSALT D.C. ::1 s Pioneer / iropractor L/ Slvlul Fl-:d Loan Bmllm: “LADY A'ITENDANT FOEE PG I b Db Ao bbb b dded ok 'l- gThe Farmers andi i Merchants Bank i of New Rockford, N D.

CHILDREN’S TALéNTS. Last summer while visiting my old home back in the foothills of the Cascades, I had the pleasure of see- ing a little play of unusual merit. ‘| The characters were all grammar school girls in the charming poem play, “The Courtship of Captain the Captain being taken by a little girl ‘|'of eleven, and the acting would have {| done credit students. Netted a Liberal Sum. The girls had learned the play “just for fun” and in their rehears- als had spent many a delightful win- ter .evening. But having developed their parts so creditably, they de- cided to give the play in public for the benefit of their library fund. Besides getting a liberal sum for their library they afforded an cven- ing “of ' ‘delightful entertainment to the ‘neighborhood. The Puritan costumes, made in their own homes, were quaint and, appropriate—and even the spinning wheel was a very clever impyrovision of an obliging neighbor. Better Than Dancing. This idea might be carried out in any rural community and the young people would reap much richer bene- fits and more real pleasure than if they devoted all their social life to dancing and, pastimes of that nature. Talent is to be found in every community and waits only opportun- ity for development. Ths young people of whom I am writing, it is true, had the advantage of the help and training of a talented woman (mother of three of the girls). But undoubtedly there is in your neigh- borhood some capable person who would gladly give a little time to the young people; or perhaps the teacher would find in their train- ing the means of a happier social life for herself. to any city school The Federated Women’s Clubs of twenty-two states have endorsed woman’s suffrage. VOTES FOR HEROINES. When the Anglia sank, with her load of wounded soldiers, the nurses refused, to put on life-preservers. They said, “Wounded men first!” . In England people are saying that such women must not be disfran- chised, after the war. The Strong and the Weak. In, the wreck of the Titanic, when chivalrous men gave the women the boats, it was pperverted into an ar- gument against equal suffrage, on the ground that chivalry was enough for women and they had no need of votes. This time it was the women who skowed chivalry. The incident brings out clearly the fact that chivalry is not a question of voters or non-vot- ers; it is a question, of the stronger looking out for the weaker and giv- ing them the first chance of life. Woinen - Are Heroines, - If heroism gives a right to the bal- lot, after this war women of all the nations involved, in it will be able to “read’ their title clear.” They have shown their full share of the cour- ageand:-borre. their . full .share of the burden and suffering. - When the smoke of battle has cleared away, let ‘u3’ hope that the men of all na- tiors will act upon Abraham Lin- coln’s principle, when he said, “All those should share in the privileges of the government who assist in bearing its burdens means excluding females.”—Woman’s Journal.
