FRIDAY, JULY 4th, 1919 TRAIN SERVICE INADEQUATE Brevard has, beyond doubt, more to offer the tourist than any resort town in Western North Carolina. Our town possesses all facilities and qual ifications necessary to the pleasure and comfort of the vacationist. Our hotel and boarding-house owners have equipped their establishments anew for the season of 1919, our progres sive Board of Trade has advertised the attractions of our town to the world and the time has come for the visitors to begin to “arrive”. Thirty people from Georgia and Florida, from cities to which a large supply of Brevard literature had been sent, “ar rived" at Hendersonville last week en- route to Brevard. When they found that they would have to wait until next morning for a train to Brevard they decided to remain in Henderson ville for the summer. This is only one of several instances of the kind which have occurred within a short period of time. The matter has been taken up with railway ofScials by Bre vard citizens who don’t see why ar- I'angements cannot be made by the Brevard Train to make connec tion at Hendersonville with the trains reaching that place at •ne and 7:35 P. M. It is pointed out that Brevard has no other connection to make. It simply stands at Hender sonville until about one hour be fore time for the train from the south to come in, then leaves a long line of chagrined tourists and disappointed citizens to wait several hours for a train. Why is it necessary for the Brevard train to run on its present schedule? Why is it impossible to change it? There are the questions that the people of Brevard are putting up to railroad officials, questions to which an answer is demanded. teachings of the lowly Nazarene have been enthroned and will henceforth shine with a brilliance unparalled in all the ages. Our Great Deliverer failed not. Let exclamations of joy be unconfined. But in recounting the deeds of dar ing during the early days of the Re public, let us keep in mind the names of the heroes whom it is our pleasure to welcome back home from the fight ing line on the Western Front, and those who made the Supreme sacri fice and now lie smouldering under he troubled soil of France that Amer ica might remain a fit place in which to live. When related in detail the story of the late war will be the most marvelous ever heard in all the ages of the human race and with it the name of *Woodrow Wilson and the American soldiers, who made victory possible, will be inevitably linked. North Carolina soldiers measured up to every requirement and we honor them for the glorious record which stands to their credit in this fearful conflict between might and right for world supremacy. Their deeds of de votion, of sacrifice, of duty done, that makes possible this delightful moment when the civilized peoples everywhere may join in appropriate ceremonies to welcome the approach of the new freedom. We repeat: The wonderful accom plishments of America and American soldiers, since this country entered the war is a record of the achieve ment of the unparalled, of the seem ing impossible, and will form the brightest chapter in the history of America and the world. Is it any won der that July 4th has a new meaning this year? Not much. Hurrah. able member of the Order, to be known as General Chairman of the ‘Centennial Movement’, who shall ser ve without pay, and who shall select his own aides and assistants, and who shall, in conjunction with the Grand Master and the Grand Secretary, sup erintend and direct such campaigns for the purposes aforesaid as shall' be deemed advisable by the said chair- mand the Grand Officers herein spe cified." The Independent Order of Odd Fel lows is recognized as a highly com mendable fraternal institution. It stands for high moral standards be lieves in administering to the needs of those in distress and in the prac tice of brotherly love. There are 11, 000 active members of the Order in North Ca^lina at this time and they are exerting a mighty influence for good in every section of the common wealth. The Centennial Movement will doubtless score heavily in the ef fort to enlarge the membership which ought to reach 20,000 by Thanks giving. Speaking for itself this paper ac knowledges thorough sympathy with the movement to broaden the influ ence of Odd Fellowship in this State. It has wrought well in the past, and the future is pregnant with possibil- ties. Not only is this true of the Odd Fellows, but of other institutions of fraternal import. INDEPENDENCE DAY The “Glorious Fourth” with all its pleasant memories—and more— is hsre again. Tq-morrow millions of patriotic Americans v/ill join in fit ting commemoration of the greatest event in the history of the Republic; the day one hundred forty-three years ago upon which the first great step towards a world democracy was taken by a small band of men determined no longer to submit to autocratic op pression. These fathers and patriots declared that America should be free and their declaration signified more than empty words. A German king sitting upon an English throne, with hordes of hire ling Prussians at his command, failed to either intimidate or conquor the Pilgrim Fathers who sought justice by resort to arms. They made good the threat to throw off the English yoke and set up a government “of the people, for the people, by the people”. For years following the con elusion of this struggle for indepen dence the world looked fn derision upon the progress of the idea of pop ular government, expecting that it would'soon crumple and fall. But Washington and his compatriots built upon foundations that could not be shaken and today American ideas of government are sought by nations and principalities through-out the civilized world. The Providence guiding us as a people in the first experiment in pop ular government has followed us step by step to the greatest event in the world’s history and enabled our :n- comparable leader, Woodrov/ Wilson, through the unstinted support of the American people, to play the leading role in removing the shackles from the oppressed multitudes of a bleed ing world. As the hand of oppres sion was stayed by the surrender of Corawallis at Yorktown, so was the vorld made safe for remocracy when America aligned herself with <France and England to push the hordes or rapines and plunderers in the late and fearful war for human leberty. The American people will assemble this year for a two-fold purpose. In dependence now signifies freedom for America and the world. We are face to face with the dawn of a new free dom. Autocracy is dead. It never had any right to live and has gone to the scrap heap for all time. The GERMANY SIGNS The Huns have signed the peace terms which means that they agree: To the reduction of her territory in Europe from 208,825 square miles to 172,000 square miles.

To the trial of the Kaiser and the surrender of those responsible for the war. ODD FELLOWS PLAN REVIVAL The Odd Fellows of the State have decided to commemorate the one hundredth anniversity of the birth of the Order in an appropriate manner this year. The Grand Lodge has au thorized the launching of what is to be known as the Centennial Move ment, the primary purpose of which :s announced to be a reviyal of in- I lerest in Odd Fellowship. A general chairman of the^movement has al ready been named by the Grand Mas ter and no time will be lost in putting vailable influences to work . Relative to the movement contemplated, the Grand Lodge unanimously adopted the following resolutions at its recent meeting in Asheville: “1. That immediately upon the ad journment of the Grand Lodge there shall be inaugurated for the purpose of reviving interest in the Order, en larging its membership, strengthening its finances and supporting its institu tions, a movement to be known and designated as “The Centennial Move ment.” I “2. To carry out and direct this movement, the Grand Master is here with empowered and directed to se- ! lect and appoint some proficient and SUFFRAGIST MAKES REPLY (Continued from page one) pool room influence; and the influence of the politician—and of the blind tiger. I am by no means saying that all these influences are necessarily bad. The boy chum, for instance, may be a fine fellow and his influence excellent. I am simply pointing out that there are more influences than one brought to bear upon a boys char acter, and if he is not gifted with strength of mind, and firmness of will the home influence is often entirely nullified by the outside influence. How nany men, think you, even sons of the noblest mothers, stop for-an instant before casting a vote, t©-o6nsIder the question, “How would^my mother, my wife Vote, if she were given the chance? How will this vote affect the future welfare of our little daughter, playing with her dolls at home?” Some do, no doubt, but how many? When these questions are honestly rnswered, it seems to me that all must admit that the home influence has lit tle chance to make itself felt at the poles. As to assertion B. Why would not men respect women who vote? A vote is simply an expression of opin ion, that is counted. Any intelligent voman, who reads the papers and mag azines must have an opinion about political matters, just as her husband and brothers have. Bohancus admits that they are as well qualified to vote as men are, which is merely another way of saying that they have opinions which are worthy of being counted. Is it not a little illogical to say, that as long as these opinions are not counted, a woman may hold them and be respected; but directly they are counted, she is no longer respect ed? Will the respect be lost because she must go to the polls to put her bit of paper into a box? “What”, say you, “may she not be jostled by a drunken man—or worse still by a drunken woman?” Why yes, so she may, more’s the pity. Also she may be so jostled if she goes to the Court House to hear the Governor speak; or if she sells Liberty Bonds at the coun ty fair. But, be assured. Mr. Bohafl- cus, that when North Carolina women are given the vote, th*»> husbands and fathers will no more allow them to be insulted or annoyed by drunken rowdies, or even drunken gentlemen at the polls, than on the streets or in the post office. As for women’s bringing “Drunken galoots” and voting them,*while I am not so simple minded as to believe that equal suffrage will automatically do away with lawlessness and drunk- eness I firmly believe that it will considerably lessen the number of “Drunken galoots” either at the polls or else where. This belief is strong- y held, Mr. Bohancus, by the “Drunk en galoots” themselves, who, be it noted, are almost to a man opposed to equal suffrage. The slums to which Bohancus re fers, are not common anywhere in North Carolina, and are almost non existent in our part of the state. And the average North Carolina woman will regard the drvnkard at the polls, with the same pitying disgust that she regards him else where. As to the last point, that good women do not want to vote, will Bo hancus kindly tell us, how he knows what the good women of the state want? Has he taken a straw vote on thr* m.'i'^t^r. If he will read the list of na"^es o? the North Carolina women who, last week went on record, as supporters of the Susan B. An thony amendment. I think even he will hardly venture to say, either that they are not good women, or that they are “man faced" or that they are giv en to fondling poodle dogs. Get a newspaper, my friend, and read the list—you may not know who the women are, but there are some very prominent women among them for all that—and some who are well known in other states than North Carolina. And again, had I permission to pub lish the names of the Brevard ^omen who are believers in squal suffrage,, lovely womanly women, leaders in all that makes for the good and uplift of our town, I do not believe you would, for a moment, deny their right to be called “Good women.” Of course, not all good women favor “votes for women”. I do not know that even a majority do so. But many of them do, and the number is constantly increasing. We in North Carolina are not clamoring to vote immediately. We are glad that suf frage is not yet here. For there are many idle and careles women who would use their votes selfishly and unscrupulously just as idle and care less men do. But we know that there is an awakening of conscience, and greater earnestness of purpose among both men and women. And we know that women generally are to be found on the side of right rather than on the side of wrong. When the woman, who is safe and sheltered in her home, realizes (as in time she will) that her sister who toils for daily bread, and sometimes to support a family, is helped or hinder ed in the struggle of life by the laws hat regulate her conditions of employ ment, she will want to help her ob tain the best possible laws, and just and wise execution of them. Pure food laws, laws relating to child welfare, educational laws, laws relating to fire prevention, child labor laws, and many others, affect women and the home, quite as intimately as they affect men in the office. Some of our laws «re admirable but the enforcement of them is often far from being so. And when officers know that women with their votes, can help to displace them if they fail in their duty, it is reasonable to sup pose they will be more careful in their administration of those laws’ that par ticularly affect women. Club Woman. A MAN MAKES REPLYTO BOHANCUS Editor Brevard News: When I read the article on Wo man Suffrage which appeared in last week’s News I decided to answer it, however much it might endanger my “cigarette smoking existence.” But after reading it over a second time I could find very little or nothing to answer. The epithets used by “Bohancus” (seemingly from the same German Jew) condemn themselves, and would suggest that when written the writer was far removed from the purifying influence of women. He only states his unsupported be lief, which should be taken at its worth. Hhis quotations from history and questionable verse are out of or der—not to the point—and prove nothing. His choice of cards, with which he seems better acquainted than with the fine virtues of woman, was not wisely made. Instead of a woman at the polls being like a dirty duce in a clean deck of cards she would be like a clean queen in a dirty deck. The men voters should and would go to the “slums” for women voters and for “Drunken galoots”. Why not since their votes and actions have created the “slum woman" and the “drunken galoots”. Should women go to these unfor tunates and cause them to become good citizens and voters it would add a crown of glory to the head of the woman voter, for by so doing she would be the gentle and pure nurse for the body politic, the same as her sister, the professional nurse who has not only worked in the slums, but who went to the front with our brave 'boys to comfort and relieve the sick and dying during the horrible war. “Pure gold is never contaminated by being associated with baser metels." A good woman should vote and make the country and world better— should teach her son by example as well as precept—^should aid, assist and guide him in the political work for justice, purity, truth, honor and glory. Yes, Mr. Bohancus, the in- fhience of woman is great and should be given the greatest possible scope. Her sense of right and purity of soul will ever guide .her. If she is suited to mould the home she is suited also to aid in moulding the nation into a higher and better life. The nation is an aggregation of many homes—the good home is the necessary unit. Thousands of the most refined and intelligent women of North Carolina desire the vote, and it is their duty and right. It is not only “man-faced" women, found in the imagination of “Bohancus." All men are not anxious to vote. Some are induced to do so by the po litical fireworks of the party leaders, while others are brought in at 11th hour under the influence of the al mighty dollar or mean liquor, but by the help of women this dollar will lose its power and liquor forever banish ed from politics.

ATTENH0N,S01MRS ANDSAUORS The people of Transylvania County through a committee appointed have designated Wednesday, July 16th, as the day to celebrate the return of the Transylvania boys who participa ted in the world war, and extend a most hearty and cordial welcome to all of them. The committee in charge has arranged to make this a gala day so that all may join in honoring you for the service rendered your country and to show you how proud we are of the Transylvania County heroes. It has been requested by a great many of the people and we especially urge all the returned soldiers and sailors wear their uniforms on that day, and we trust that all will comply with that request, as well as take part in the parade which will be given. This invitation is also extended to the soldiers and sailors of the Civil War and Spanish American War, whom we all wish to honor, as well.
