WOMEN IN CAGE
Only a few months ago a woman
in Jersey, England, convicted of a
minor offense, was publicly exhibit
ed in an iron cage, in accordance
with an ancient law.
On the face of it, this seems in
credible. but it is vouched for by a
reputable journalist, who states that
Sir William Venables-Vernon, bailiff
of Jersey, announced the abolishment
of the cage when the matter was brot
to his attention.
In many parts of the world today
women are hibitually kept in a cage,
so to speak. This does not refer to
criminals in cells, but to women of
many lands who are still held in re
straint through the old ideas of wo
man’s inferiority.
Rapid strides toward the emancipa- J
tion of women have been made in
most civilized countries of late, espec
ially during the last decade, but they
are still held in slavery—physical,
moral and intellectual—among many
peoples.
Even in our own land the double
standard of morals is still tacitly ad
mitted. Men may retain their social
standing in spite of violations of mor
al codes which women are supposed
to observe or be subjected to social
ostracism. The new freedom for wo
men is only comparative and men still
insist on a literal interpretation of the
word “obey,” as used in the marriage
ceremony.
But sometimes it works o.ut the oth
er wray around.
BORAH IS RIGHT
We do not always agree with Sen
ator Borah. Hardly anyone does,
because no one can quite keep up
with the processes of his active and
independent mind.
But a recent speech of his, at
tacking the tendency to federal con
trol of practically every action of
the individual citizen, must strong
ly appeal to lovers of freedom. In
the course of this speech he said:
“The remorseless urge of central
ization, the insatiable maw of bu
reaucracy, are depriving more and
more the people of all voice, all
rights, concerning home and hearth

stone, of family and neighbor. There
is not a practice, custom or habit
but must soon be censored from
Washington. There is not in all the
relationship of parent and child, of
family and home, anything sufficient
ly private or sacred to exempt it
from the furtive eye of the special
agent.”
Borah is right. We are constant
ly building up a greater and ever
greater federal machine, with ex
panding departments and bureaus,
to oppress the people and add to
the tax burden.
He might have added that the few
activities not supervised by the
federal government are regulated by
a multiplicity of state laws, The
citizen is dominated, restricted, in
spected, investigated, searched, tax
ed and bedeviled at every turn.
Yet many wonder at the unrest
now in evidence in this land of the
free.
OIL TOWN WAS SAVED
When the oil field which support
ed the town of Cement, Oklahoma,
slumped through decreased produc
tion and low prices two years ago,
it appeared that the place was doom
ed.
A few energetic and determined
men refused to accept such a situa
tion and set about to make Cement
an agricultural center, through the
fostering of farming interests and
cooperating with the rural people
in every possible way.
They met with unqualified suc
cess and today the town is more
prosperous than ever, writh every
residence and business house occu
pied and more building in progress
than at any time in five years.
This is another illustration of the
fact that a prosperous agricultural
community is the greatest asset any
town can have. Industrial pay rolls
are most desirable and should be
sought diligently, but farming is
still the solid and dependable re
source on which permanent prosper
ity of towns and small cities rests.

BLUE AND GRAY TO MARCH
At the next annual reunion of
Confederate veterans to be held
in s Dallas, Texas, the G. A. R. of
that city will march with the wear
ers of the gray in the official pa
rade.
This arrangement has been made
at the suggestion of the Union vet
erans, which received the instant and
hearty approval of the Confederate
commander, announcement of which
was made by General Hampden Os
borne, adjutant general and chief of
staff, at New Orleans a few days ago.
In a letter to the chairman of the
Dallas reunion committee General Os
borne said: “The war ibetween the
states ended in 1865. Since then the
sons and grandsons of the partici
pants on both sides have fought gal
lantly side by side in the World war.
If the G. A. R. will join us in the prof
fer of honors to our great ones wTho
have died and the aged survivors with
us still, it will be an announcement to
the world of the solidification of pure
Americanism. Such place in the line
of march as you may assign the local
G. A. R. contingent has my approval
in advance.”
It will be an inspiring and touching
sight to see the Blue and the Gray
marching through the streets of Dal
las together.
ROOM AT THE TOP
Never was the saying “there is
plenty of room at the top” more true
than it is today. Never were the re
wards of ability and industry so great.
The world is crying for skilled and
conscientious workers in every field of
human endeavor.
This does not hold true merely in
the higher walks of life, but in the
humblest! as well. Not only is su
perior efficiency diligently sought in
the business and professional world,
but it is even more intensely desired
in the wage-earning clases.
In every office, store, workshop and
in all forms of outdoor employment
we find a majority of careless, indif
ferent and incompetent -workers. The
capable, careful and conscientious em
ployee is always in demand.
The worker who can see what is ne
cessary to be done and do it without
being told is most highly prized of all.
One who can do what is to be done
after being told only once is also a
joy to the employer. But the inat
tentive and stupid individual who must
be told over and over again and then
fails to perform is the one who turns
the employer’s hair gray.
No wage earner who is really com
petent, willing and industrious need
ever be out of a good job. “There’s
plenty of room at the top.”

Several rare books dealing with the
evils of the tobacco habit, published
more than 300 years ago, shortly af
ter the introduction of the “weed” in
England, were recently sold at a Lon
don auction. In one of them it was
declared that it was “better to be
choked with English hemp than pois
oned by Indian tobacco.” A lot of
folks have been so “poisoned” since
that was written.
