' In this period of convulsion and re
formation, we are slowly beginning
to learn that reformative work to be
most effective must go back to the
sources of prevailing weakness and
decay instead of juggling with the
products of wrong methods used in
the institutions of a people. How
ever, we have yet to be convinced of
the fact that the' fountain head of all
institutions, whether industrial, so
cial, religious or governmental, is the
home life of a people. It is there that
the leaven of sweetness and purity
must be set working. When the
home life of a people begins to decay,
then the society of a people begins to
decay; and when the society begins to
decay, then the nation begins to de
cay. Thereore, in order to save our
nation and to make it strong and vi
rile from without, we must purge it
from within, burning the flame of
purity upon the altars of our homes.
We must reclaim the homes of our
nation in order to save our nation.
It is during the formation period of
life that the virtues and vices get
their Hold on the individual. There
fore, the home should be an attract
ive, wholesome place, so fulfilling its
mission as an institution that all
other institutions springing from it
would be permeated with truth, wis
dom and love. It is because these
conditions do not generally exist that
we must talk about reclaiming the
homes of our nation..
The great fields to be reclaimed
are the homes of the poor and the
rich, which we find largely in tfur
cities.
In the poorer families, the reclaim
ing must be almost altogether a mat
ter of education. They come from
countries where the home relations
are lax. It is with the children that
the reformer must begin to work.
Our social settlements are doing this
by putting right things first in the
minds of these people, and by giving
them ideals of right living.
The homes of the rich, which per
haps confront us with a greater prob
lem, must be reclaimed by conviction
the conviction of their failure to
contribute their share of responsibil
ity to the social mass; the conviction
that their lives, steeped in luxury and
extravagance, are making stagnant
the clear, refreshing waters of whole
some, clean living.
. I have in mind .a rich family in a
suburb of Chicago in which material
conditions are ideal for a beautiful
home life, but the spirit and ideals are
not there. The mother and father
are selfishly ambitious for their chil
dren, expressing their love for them
by satisfying all their desires and
making life as easy as possible for
them. The mother realizes that her
children are lacking in true manly and
womanly qualities, and yet she is too
indolent to exert herself to enforce
those things which would give
strength of character. She openly
admitted that it was too much trou
ble to see that her daughter carry
little home responsibilities. The
daughter is blase at fifteen. A care
taker is employed to do the work the !
boys should be doing, while they are
loafing or running at large in an
automobile.
Living near this family, in the
same suburb, is another family that
has built a true home. Each child
has daily tasks to perform, and the
mother is never too absorbed in out
side things to see that these tasks are
done. The boy is kept busy outside
of school hours, tending the furnace,
the garden or lawn. The daughter
is the mother's first lieutenant in the
housekeeping. Their amusements are
carefully chosen and temperately in
dulged in. The parents are compan
ions to the children in their work and
in their play. Each member of the
family is contributing his share to the
maintenance of that institution and
furthermore, the parents are making
I home-keeping their business, and not
a side issue., Now you may tell which
family is producing the strong social
unit.
You ask, "Is it possible that all the
homes need reclaiming?" No, we
find one valley in land now fast dry
ing up, and in that valley are the
homes of the middle class. Here the
fathers and mothers are reigning in
homes built on the foundation of love,
Here they are kept too busy providing
the necessities of life and instilling
the principles of right into their chil
dren to let the vitiating elements of
social evil creep in. The children
have their share in maintaining the
family insttuton the boys are grow-
ng to be strong men, the girls are
learning to be home-keepers. Even
in the valley of the middle class we
find the cacti of luxury, vitiating
amusements and sloth gradually
crowding out the golden grain of
womanhood and manhood.
Some one is asking, "What is the
effect of the woman's suffrage move
ment on the homes of America?"
The anti-suffragists immediately an
swer that woman's suffrage is most
detrimental to that most sacred of
all institutions, the home. But this
could hardly be said to be true when
most of the suffrage leaders are
women of fifty years and more who
have reared their families to the age
where they can care for themselves.
They are women who realize the
worth of pure home life to that ex
tent that they have it upon their
hearts to bring about conditions which
will help to educate those families
without ideals, and help convict those
people who have lost sight of home
ideals in living lives 6f luxury and
selfishness, convict them of their du-
ties and responsibilities. The sincere
suffragists are seeking to reclaim the
homes of the land.
A difficulty which presents a much
graver problem than suffrage could
ever present is that of woman in
the commercial world. Woman's
true sphere is not the commercial
world but the home. We all know
this, and yet the facts face us she
is there, and for reasons that involve
us in lengthy discussions. The in
dustrial world has edged itself into
so many different phases of our life
that, directly and indirectly, it has
affected the home and other institu
tions. Better industrial conditions
will improve home conditions and the
reclamation of the home must im
prove industrial conditions.
Domestic storms, broken homes
and divorce suits follow in the wake
of ignorance, irresponsive, indulgent
and luxurious living. Rome fell when
her people reached this condition.
Shall we repeat her story? Or shall
we stop tho flow of loose living ? The
homes of the future must be freed
from these things and this can be
done only by reclaiming the home
makers of the future. Upon your
children and your children's children
rest the homes of the future. Will
you reclaim your home before it is
too late for your children to reclaim
theirs 7
Our nation is dying, while we are
busy in the valleywith the ambulance.
Let us be busy at the top of the cliff,
building fences whose pickets are
pure, sweet homes, where noble fath
ers and mothers are giving earnest,
responsive God-fearing children to
the world, which shall make our na
tion a nation among nations, its
homes reclaimed for humanity and
God. Child Betterment and Social
Welfare.

More About Dimick
For congress, to succeed Hawley in
the event he throws his hat into the
senatorial ring, the one man 'most
discussed is State Senator Walter A.
Dimick of Oregon City. His abili
ties make him a formidable possibil
ity. Senator C. L. Hawley is a con
structive man, and if a candidate for
congress would give the destructive
Dimick a hard race.
Among the democrats, Senator
Garland, Oswald West, L. J. Simp
son of North Bend, R. B! Mantague of
Portland and Judge Bennett of The
Dalles are mentioned for governor.
