V THE MORNING ASTORIAN, ASTORIA, OREGON. THURSDAY, APRIL 23, 1903. 6 HOPE JONES' TALK Forty-five Cents Door Money 'Doesn't Displease Him. LAYS IT TO THE HARD TIMES t Tells Hi Hrert That Women In . America Have at Last Bean Recog : nlzed a Reasoning, Thinking Human '.. Beings. : Copyright, 1908 Ladies and Gentlemen of Thornapplo Creek Although your town contains only twenty-four houses, a store and a sawmill and yet to hear Its first loco motive whistle or see Its first broiled lobster, I am complimented by the large and cultivated audience gathered here this evening to listen to my lec ture. The money taKen In at the door amounts to only 45 cents, but I shall not abbreviate my lecture on that ae count, but lay It to the stringency of the times. No one within sound of my voice will dispute the fact that a new era "I WAS a J AH FOB LICKIHO IHR LIGHT SEMI K03 MAS." has dawned for woman In America within the last fifteen years. She has come to the front, and she has come to atay. It has taken thousands of years to do It, but she has at last been recog nized as a reasoning, thinking human being. It is an era that we should all be proud of. We should all be glad to acclaim her as man's equal, and yet dangers lurk In the path. There is a fear that woman may go too far and wield her influence In the wrong direc tion. , To the wfves present I wish to recall the name of Christopher Columbus. We all know what he did, but very few of us know that he would have ac complished the same thing at least fif teen years before but for his wife. He had got it into bis head that there were other countries to discover, and he was thinking and planning. When he told his thoughts and plans to his wife she put her foot on them. She wanted him to stay home and milk the cow and split the wood and make gar den, and she raised such a row about It that he remained and did not get away until after her death. Had she lived on thirty years more where would this country have been? Who would have heard the name of Columbus to remember it an .hour? He would nev er have got farther than the city hall, and he would never have been beard of outside of his own ward. Columbus came at last and discov ered us, and now you find us a nation of 80,000,000 people, but suppose his wife had let him come fifteen years be fore? We'd have had at least 300 more trusts by this time, and the present financial stringency would have been a thing of the past. We'd have also known whether Mr. Roosevelt was go ing to run again or not. And I call your attention to the case of Eenjamin Franklin. Mrs. Franklin was a good soul, and no doubt she made the best pumpkin pies In Phila delphia, but she didn't understand am bitions In a man. Just when Benja min was forging to the front she want ed him to turn In his tracks and open a shoe store. ' She not only wanted it but she Insisted on It, and the hired i girl says they had a regular row. Sup pose she had carried her point Sup pose the great and wise Franklin had foregone his ambitions and become a boot and shoe man and squeezed No. 4 shoes on to No. 3 feet We stand ap palled at the idea of It When George Got Married. When George Washington got mar ried he had his future pretty well map ped out He knew what he, wanted and was going for it. It wasn't a week before his wife be gan to butt in, She wanted him to become a farmer and go around In his shirt sleeves and with patches on his trousers. She wanted to see him milk Ing cows and pounding oxen and Rtart lng off to market with n roil of butter and a dozen of eggs.. That wss-lhi measure of her. ambition, and when George couldn't see things that w.j; there was a coldness lasting a fo.-i nlsht K Great Scott, but suppose that V.';:v:; lngton had given In! Suppose 'Ik' had fceen a man without an Iron Jaw: Sup pose he had laid aside his aims and ambitions and gone to raising squashes and pumpkins and gathered a, family supply of catnip In the fall! I see the most of you are pale faced and trem bling at the thought Had be done so this country would have had no father. It might have hnd no liberties. What name stands out on the Dec laration of Independence like that of John Hancock? He was a gilt edged patriot from the first Mrs. Hancock wanted the colonies to be free, but she didn't waut John's coattalls burned lu the doing of It. When ho started for that meeting in Philadelphia that was to result In a cataclysm sho sought to keep him back. She finally threatened to go home to her mother If he went to Philadelphia, and what was his reply? You may have never read It, ns a great many historians have dlilierately left It out of their pages, but It lias come down to me from an authentic source. lie told her Just what any patriotic husband should tell his wife under the clrcum stances. I have a picture of him lu my mind's eye as he stood facing her. As she gives him her ultimatum he draws himself up, folds his arras, and, looking down on her with the pride and scorn of a king, he replies: "Then go and be hanged to you!" He went to Philadelphia and signed that declaration and got others to sign it, and you know the result. Suppose he had stayed at home and gone inie- kleberrylng Instead! ' When Fulton began working on the steamboat that afterward voyaged on the Hndson and revolutionized the world's transportation, Mrs. Fulton told him that he was wasting his time. She had the Idea of 'the patent wash ing machine In her mind, and she in sisted that he drop his Idea for hers. She was at him night and day to do this. She had it all figured out how much soap and starch and rubbing would be sired, and as a matter of fact she did haul him off his own work for a week or two. When he went back to it there was a family row, and she wouldn't- speak to him for a month. Even when be had finished his boat and she was moving majestically up the majestic river Mrs. Fulton was so mad about things that she denied it was a success. I see that chills are running up your backs and your hah standing np at the thought of what this world would have lost If Mrs. Ful ton had been permitted to interfere with her husband's ambitions. We'd have had a washing machine warrant ed to save 10 ptr cent of elbow grease, but what of the thousands of steamers that come and go? J Net a Washington. Take my case for another. I am not a Washington, a Hancock or a Colum bus, hut I have always had my alms and ambitions just the same. I wasn'i ten years old when I decided to taS the lecturw platform. My mother tried to spank U out of me, my father tried to gad It out. of me, and my school teacher, who was Jealous, tried to cuff It out of me, but It stuck. It was there when I was hoeing corn for 60 cents a day. It was there when I was In Jail for licking a lightning rod man. It was there when I finally got married. As soon as I told my bride what fu ture I was working -for she Insisted that I bedorne a hog driver buying hogs of the farmers around and driving them to market! Some young men would have given way, but I stood firm. We parted almost at the altar, but where Is that woman today? Who has ever heard of the next man she married and Insisted on his opening a hen farm? They are not known from the sands of the seashore, while I stand here before you tonight with the laurel leaves crowning my brow. Wives, beware! Hands off! Every husband in the country has an am bition. Ton see yours sitting on the fence by day and down at Skinner's grocery at night and you abuse his lazi ness. It may not be that Is all. He may simply be nursing his ambition walt Ing'till the time comes for him to make his mark. In the world. By Jawing enough and by threats of the rolling pin you may stir him up to cut suf ficient wood to last over Sunday even to get himself Into the potato patch or the cornfield-but In the doing of it you may jr?stroy a future president of the United States and topple down the bulwarks of American liberty." M. QUAD. Where Ha Fell Down. "You seem to know a great deal about women," remarked the young man. "Yes," " replied the great detective. "I know what they ought to do and I can easily find out what they have done, but I confess my Inability to tell what they are going to do." Detroit Tribune. "Oh, Wad Some Power," Etc. "And, my dear, she had on a hat. Well, If you'd seen it, you'd have gone Into hysterics." Browning's Magazine. Art and Materialism. v "Literature has to face many discour agements," said the sympathetic au ditor. "Yes," answered the man with ink on his fingers. "There is Just one thing to be thankful for, and that Is that they don't boost the price of post tge stamps as fast as they do the cost If white paper." Washington Star. A TWENTY YEAR SENTENCE. "I have just completed a twenty years health sentence, imposed by Bucklen's Arnica Salve, which cured me of bleeding piles just twenty years ago," writes O. S. Woolcvcr, of LeRaysville, N. Y.
