1 Women In the' Kome. 1
(Contributed.)
We are forever told that the
place for women is in the home.
Well, so be if. Hut what do we
expect of her in the home Mere
ly to stay in I tie home is not
enough. She is a failure unless
she attends to the health ami-
welfare, moral as well as physi
cal, of her family, and especially
her children. She, more than
anyone else, is held responsible
for what they become. She is re
sponsible for the cleanliness of
her home. She is responsible for
the wholesomeness of I tie food.
She is responsible for the chil
dren's health. She is responsible
for their morals. How far can
the mother control these things?
She can clean her own rooms, but
if the neighbors are allowed to
live in tilth she cannot keep her
rooms from being tilled with bad
air or infected with varmins? She
can cook her food well, but if
dealers are permitted lo sell poor
food, stale eggs, unclean milk,
she cannot make the food whole
some for her children. She can
open her window to give her chil
dren air, but if the air is laden
with tuberculosis and other con
tagious diseases, she cannot pro
tect tier children from this dan
ger. She can send her children
out for air and exercise, but if
the conditions thai surrounds
them on the sheet are immoral
and degrading she cannot protect
them from these dangers. Alone
she cannot make these things
right. Who or what can? The
city can do it, the government
that is elected by the people to
lake care of the interests of the
people. Anil who decides what
the government shall do? First,
the ollleials; second, those who
elect them. Do the women elect
them? No, the men do. So the
men are responsible for I he con
ditions under w hich I tie children
live, but we hold women re
sponsible for tile results of those
conditions. If we hold women re
sponsible we must, in simple jus
tice, let them have something to
say as to what thc-.e conditions
shall be. There is one simple
way of doing this give them the
same means that men have. Let
them vole. Women are by nature
and training housekeepers. Let
them have a hand in the city
government or city housekeeping.
And thev will perform their
duties much more elliciently.
Thanksgiving Day at Lewiston.
At an earlv hour in the day the
people began to gather, coming
in wagons, buggies and auto
mobiles, loaded to their full
capacity with humanity and good
things to eat, and by 11 o'clock
the church was tilled. At i t :3
the crowd was so great that a
large number were obliged to re
main on the outside when Rev.
W. A. Taylor, from Union, com
menced the services. The serv
ices were conirnonced by the choir
of seven rendering three select
pieces of music: prayer by Rev.
Taylor, after which Miss Winnie
Hutchison sang most, beautitulty
a solo. "A Clean Heart." Rev
Taylor then took his text from
Auios i-l-', this part of the verse,
"Prepare to Meet Thy Ood," and
this text he handled to the satis
faction of all. It was indeed a
noble sermon and delivered most
excellent lv. and the crowd would
willinelv have listened another
hour. After tile close of tile ser
mon a great big dinner was
served. Tickets were sold at the
ticket stand, and each one was
required to purchase one before
they sat down, the price being -';
cents each. The dinner, well, it
would be useless for me to try
and tell you what all they had
Iml cabbage salad.
potato 'salad,' fruit salad, goose,
chicken, ham, dressing, and mis
is only a starter: well, you should
have been there. The interior of
the church had been all refinish
ed of late, and with the scarlet
and while and red and white
decorations it gave a beautiful
appearance. The table was fixed
lo seal thirlv at once, and there
were siv tables for dinner. The
west end of the church was fixed
for the kitchen, a cook-stove be
ing set up, and no place for the
stove-pipe being found the win
dow was lowered from the lop
and the stove-pipe was run out
(this was done by the women).
The. ladies had a booth with a
nice selection of fancy articles
and useful things for sale, ami
this alone netted them nearly $20.
The afternoon was spent in
visiting and getting ready for
another big feed. In the evening
they served a general supper and
oysters for 25 cents. While
there was a good crowd for sup
per, it did not compare with the
noon crowd for size. After an
had eaten, Rex Young, our home
auctioneer, assisted by John Hob-
shpirit. commenced sellincr tnmgs
that were left from the booth and
supper al auction. Fverylhing
was soon di-posed of. the total
receipts for tin day being sm.on.
Many lunches were fixed up arid
sent out to old people that Were
not aide , to route. Tlie ladies of
tlie K. N. K. Were Well pe;te1
and felt, well paid for their ef
forts. Next year you had better
be there and share vour part, f
the pleasure and good thing- to
eaf.
