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?
