Whats the Matter
With the Women?
What a fine thing it is that
we do not have to take the
other fellow seriously!
If we took everybody and
everybody’s opinion seriously,
the wheels in our head would
soon be going round in such
confusion that the whole works
would blow up.
For instance, we read in the
daily papers where a promin
ent evangelist declares that
“the next war will be caused by
the flapper” and he goes on
to say that “all wars have been
causd by the depravity of
women.”
We pick up another daily
paper and see where, in a cer
tain great city, a great con
structive movement has been
accomplished because the
women got in behind it
and worked for it in their usu
al helpful, zealous and un
tiring manner.
We turn the page and read
that a certain prominent na
tional legislator wants the mar
riage laws amended so that
ten days to two weeks must
elapse from the time a marri
age license is issued before a
marriage can take place. He
says this will cure the divorce
evil, and goes on to declare
in all seriousness that “the d:
vorced woman is one of the
greatest evils iti Aemrica to
day. ”
niaming tne woman has been
a favorite excuse since the
days of Father Adam. And if
you are a close observer, you
have doubtless noticed that
blaming the woman is not prac
ticed solely by the men. The
women often join in heaping
blame upon the woman.
Hut we turn the page again
and see where another public
man wants to pass some more
laws to curb the activities of
women.
This would be a dull world
if we all thought alike.
Hut it is our candid opinion
that women are no worse to
day than they have always
been.
And the same is true of men.
The world has always had
its good and its bad.
And the good and the bad
are not confined to sex. Good
and evil affects life in all its*
forms, from the highest to the!
lowest degree.
The much abused little “flap-!
per" has always existed, under
one name or anothe r. She
is no worse toda\ than she al
ways was. She is just a sillj
and ignorant little piece of hu
manity—and usually outgrows
it.
Of course, no good Americar
objects to anyone believing
that flappers cause wars; that
women are evil creatures; that
hasty marriages undermine the
home; or that vice can be cured
by “Don’t Do It” laws. If we
are a real American we are
willing to concede to the other
fellow the right to his opinion,
even as we hold inalienable
the the right to our own opin
ion.
But there is cause for objec
tion when evangelists, educa
tors and legislators go before
the public with statements
which they would make the
basis for legal action, when
their statements are, after all,
only personal opinions, the
truth of which cannot be sub
stantiated.
The women are all right.
'1 hey are not going to the bow
wows. And neither are the men.
In the* main, humanity wants
to do about the right thing—
and usually does it.
It is true, black sheep appear
here and there—and they are
not all “flappers.” Occasion
ally one shows up even in the
pulpit. But the “black sheep”
are not confined to any one sex,
.ailing, profession, or station
in life, and any man who gets
up before the public and de
nounces any certain class or
■lenient of humanity as being
responsible for the wars, the
calamities or the general sins
if the race, is exhibiting a
pawning cavity in that part of
lis anatomy where a man
should have at least a small
tmount of good substantial
?ray matter.
We actually wonder, at
imes, whether some of these
so-called reformers who decry
ivomen, ever really had a
not her. or if they just grew up
from an old rotten piece of
nushroom out somewhere on
:he edge of a swamp.
The man who looks straight
ihead misses a lot on the side.

'I'he city council of Batesville
has passed a resolution Call
; ing upon the Southwestern
Telephone Company to reduce
its rates in that city. Newark
ought to do the same thin#.
Telephone rates are entirely
too high in Newark, and should
have the attention of the town
council at once.
Avoid extremes—a man can
go crazy even on religion.

■difference in Cornflakes
when you eat Kelloggs
From the instant you open the generous sized
package till they’re tucked away in great and tiny
“bread-baskets,” Kellogg’s Corn Flakes are a de
light! You can’t even look at those big sunny-brown
flakes, all joyously flavored, crisp and crunchy, with
out getting hungry! Kellogg’s are never leathery
or tough or hard to eat—they’re just wonderful!
Such a spread for big and little boys and girls—
the sweetheart of fine white corn kernels deliciously
flavored and deliciously toasted in Kellogg’s own
way! You can’t imagine anything more
joyous to eat at any hour.
Kellogg’s Corn Flakes are childhood’s
ideal food! Kiddies can eat as much as
they can carry! Every mouthful makes
for health, for sleepy-time-stomachs!
Don’t just ask for “corn flakes”! You
say KELLOGG’S—the original kind in
the RED and GREEN package!
