BOOKS rHE WOMAN IN THE FIELD The Farm Woman Nesds Relief More Than Her City Sister. By Peter Radford. Lecturer National Farui'-rs' Union. Much has beeiTSaid and more writ ten about the woman in the factory and behind the counter, but how about th woman who works In the field, I want to say a few words In her be half. I, regret a necessity that com Dfils woman to work for a livelihood, and I favor not only shortening her hours, but freeing her from manual labor entirely. I crave for society that high standard of excellence where the home Is woman's throne and her life is devoted to molding the char acter and elevating the thought of the rising generation. But so long as want, greed and misfortune prevail in this world, women, through choice or necessity, will work, and perhaps they will work at one task or another as many hours per day as they please. We may pity the weak and admire the strong in their struggle, but the farm woman is entitled to her share of sympathy and reward. All Must Toll. The labor problem, as relates to men, is a most vexatious one, and when we apply It to women it becomes more seriously complicated. We will always have to work unless some po litical genius can put a law on the statute book that will enable us to live without labor. So long as every person must meet toll face to face, the best we can do is to equitably dis tribute the burdens and reward labor, and If there- is to be a revision of wages and a shortening of hours, I want the farm woman to get her share. She has more reason to com-' plain than any other class of tollers. She has, as ' a rule, fewer comforts, fewer pleasures, less recreation and less opportunity for enjoyment than her sister In the city. She has not so many conveniences and fewer lux uries and less to be thankful for than women who live in the town, but she toils on, a model of consistency, pa tience and womanly devotion. Cer tainly Bhe should be the first to be rewarded. The Real Labor Problem Is on the Farm. The great dailies with flaming' head lines deplore the lot of women who toil In the cities, .the city pulpit thunders with sympathy for her, and the legislators orate in her behalf, but not a line is written, a word said or a speech delivered in the interest of the million women who labor on the farm. Where one woman works In the cities in this state, there are a hundred mothers tolling in the field, and no mention is made of it. Is the woman in the city entltled to any more consideration than the woman on the farm? I contend that she Is not. The city woman may be more easily restrained by legislation, and she may have a more attentive au dience when she cries aloud, but the real labor problem, in so far as It re lates to women and children, is on the farm where mother and child, wielding the hoe and gathering the harvest, toil day In and day out with out hope of reward. The City Life Puny. The farm women work from sun until sun. They do their housework and lull a half-million babes to sleep after the chickens go to roost, and they get breakfast and milk the cows before the lark sings. Tlje city wo man frequently chafes under hard ships that the farm woman would consider a blessing. The city people are great talkers and ofttimes great ly magnify their troubles and enlarge their accomplishments. This charac teristic permeates organized society as well as enters into the Individual life of cities. There are orphan asy lums which are doing commendable work and should be encouraged, that boast of their accomplishments, but I have seen widows in the country make a crop, drink branch water and eat corn-bread and molasses and raise more children and better chil dren than many of these city orphan asylums. The cities need to get back to the soil with their ideals. They are hysterical, puny and feeble In their conception of life, its require ments and Its opportunities. The farmers' problems are pressing for solution and the awakening is at hand. It is apparent that the old credit system must give way to business methods in financing the' crop. The Philadelphia Society for the Promotion of Agriculture Is the oldest association of its kind in America. This was organized by George Wash ington and Benjamin Franklin in 1,785. On Thursday of last week the Ra diators of Eugene entertained a special train load of Cherrians from Salem, giving them a luncheon at the TSugene Conmmercial Club, an automobile trip about the city and then took them to the Lane County Pair where a section of the grand stand had .been reserved for them and from which they witnessed some remarkable racing. Later, the Cher rians were taken to the University where a dinner was served to them by the co-eds at the various sororiiy houses. LAST THREE PRESIDENTS OPPOSED TO PROHIBITION PRESIDENT WILSO SAYS: "I am in favor of Local Option. I am a thorough believer in LOCAL SELF-GOVERNMENT and believe that every self governing community which constitutes a social unit Bhould have the right to CONTROL the matter of the regulation or the withholding of licenses." WILLIAM HOWARD TAFT Ex-Prealdent, Statesman, Jurist and Professor, in an address on Civic Duty, said: "Nothing is more foolish, noth ing more utterly at variance with sound policy, than to en act a law which, on account of conditions surrounding the community, is incapable of en- - forcement. Such instances are . . . presented by sump tuary laws by which the sale of intoxicating liquors is pro hibited under penalties in lo calities where the public senti ment . . . will not sustain the enforcement of the law." THEODORE ROOSEVELT Ex-President, Soldier, Explorer and one of the most remark able leaders in the United States, is a strong champion of LOCAL SELF-GOVERNMENT and Home Rule. He has never raised his voice in behalf of statewide prohibition, and so he has suffered attacks from radical and hysterical prohibi tionists. As between a man of Theodore Roosevelt's ability and standing and those who are the paid emissaries of pro fessional propagandists, the voters of Oregon will not be slow in passing upon the wis dom and credibility of the witnesses. With these three National Leaders agreed on the issue of Prohibition, isn't it wis dom to follow their course? Register and Vote Paid Advertisement Taxpayers and Wage-Earners League of Oregon.
