THE IDEAL WOMAN
If you ask me to paint you a picture of the ideal woman, a composite
«>f the virtues of American womanhood. I will not show you the fashion plate.
I would not select the idle rich, who have become imbued with the old world
infamy that it is disgraceful to be useful. I would not show the woman from
whose brain all thoughts of home are crowded by cards and clubs and clothes,
by society and scandal. These are but the useless and pathetic parasites of
womankind.
But tonight in the little home upon the farm, in the modest cottage
in the country village, in the humble homo every where throughout this land,
the tired and patient mother with loving hand is rocking the future great of
the world. That mother on this quiet summer's evening is singing a lullaby
to him who, in the future years, will dictate the policy of the nation and dir
ect the destiny of mankind.
To that mother, the ideal American woman, the woman who with her
own hand rocks the cradle of her child. I pay my tribute. She is our country’s
security, humanity’s hope the salvation of the race.
All great mothers do not have great sons, but all great sons do have
great mothers. This is the law eternal of our race, fixed by the Infinite
’Wisdom.—(Congressman W. E. Humphrey, in response to the toast. "The
Ladies,” at the banquet of the Washington State Bar Association.)
GROWING TIRED OF CHRONIC TROUBLE MAKERS
The deportation of I. W*. \V.. reported in the news telegrams as a recent
development in the States, suggests that the government has finally decided
to drop its former complaisant attitude toward that chronically inclined dis
turbin element and will hereafter deal with them in a manner calculated to ally
some of their inherent inclination to create popular unrest.
Professional trouble makers, such as the I. \V. \V. and other radicals
whose activities and beliefs are mainly of a destructive and demoralizing char
acter. have been permitted a latitude in the United States which we do not
believe would be countenanced in any other country on the globe, aside, pos
sibly from Russia, where their regime of a few months has already created
a condition of chaos and political disorganization wthout a parallel in history.
Unlike the Socialists, this class of ultra-radicals carry the question of reor
ganization and reformation to the point where destruction of even the most
beneficial institutions is threatened.
No thinking persons blit will admit that there is something decidely
wrong with the present order of things: that economic and industrial condi
tions throughout the world are bad end daily growing more unbearable and
also that a reorganization is needed. That is admitted even by those who .are
primarily responsible for and profit from those conditions. None who glance
with retrospective vision over the abuses and evils of the present system of
things can escape the conviction that relief must be had from some quarter
or red revolution will stalk the world unleashed. The Socialist .at least at
tempts to offer a palliative or a substitute for the undeniable evils of present
systems, but the efforts of such radicals as the 1. \V. W. are directed mainly
to destroying the' things they condcm without offerring a logical alternative
condition. The Socialist recognizes that you cannot tear down a brick house
and rebuild without placing the bricks patiently one by one on top of each
other in new formation: but the tenets of I. W. W.’ism appear to conclude
that the mere act of tearing down will consumate every desired change in the
present social and political scheme of things. Destruction is their watchword
and reconstruction is a term which hears little relation to their ams, save in
the shape of fantastic and ill ground d hypothesis. That such an element of
fers noj benefits at best and presents as an alternative prospect a condition of
anarchistic disorganization such as is presented in Russia is sufficient warrant
for their suppression.
We admittedly need a change in the prevailing order of things, but nn
reasonable minded persons will conceive that beneficial alterations will be
consumated by the mere act of destroying the things that are. We need rev
olution, but not the revolution the.! is achieved by means of dynamite and
bloorshed. Such thingB are antagonistic to all that right minded human be
ings desire. No changes at all are l etter than the red riot created by ultra
radicalism in Russia.
If, as the reports indicate, the government has decided to send sucl
destructively inclined elements from the land, it is doing tin- nation a benefleiu
service and will receive the endorsement of all fair minded, right thinkinj
people. The toleration granted by the constitution becomes an evil and
detriment if it is to be permitted to become th clonk and refuge of those wh
would tear up the very fabric of what we have without offering anythin!
beyond vague theorisms in return.
