There are many things
I like about the Catholic church, but why, oh, why is it so silent as a
general thing on the liquor traffic? Why are so many of its members in
this devil's work? Oh! what a retribution will be theirs when it will be
proven that instead of clothing the naked they have robbed children of
clothes. Instead of feeding the hungry they have allowed them to starve
because their bread was taken to buy drink. They sent souls to prison
and did not minister to them!
CHAPTER XII.
WOMAN'S SUFFRAGE
In all ages woman has taken an active part in the defense of man. She
is the best defender he ever had on earth, because she is his mother.
True mothers think more of the interest of their children than of their
own. God intended it so, All animals have a care for their offspring.
The hen will fight the hawk or dog, even man, to defend her little chicks.
The farmer's wife will not set a hen the second time that will not fight
for her little chickens. Such hens are taken to market. I have heard
my mother say: "I must set that hen again for she is such a good
mother." The mother bear will die fighting for her cubs. The hunters
say they dislike to kill her, because of her mother love, that never yields
up those two little cubs that she places behind her, and then fights until
she dies. This is the mother love of a brute,--what ought to be that of
the human family?
If a man starts a ranch to raise cattle he protects the females in
raising their young.
