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."
