Pa ire Two THE FRANKLIN PRESS Friday, June 6, 122 1 Planks Presented by the . Learue of Women Voters .f To the Platform CommUtcea of tha National Pqiitka! Parties, Jane, 1924. 1. International co-operation to prevent war: We support 'the proposal, for the entry of the United States'. into the "Permanent Courfof Int.ernationalJus tice, and urge on members, of the ' Senate the action necessary to such entry as an important step in substi tuting law for force in the settlement of international disputes. We heartily advocate a policy of participation in international confer ences and of co-operation with inter national agencies both for the elimi nation of the causes of war and for humanitarian purposes. We urge ' that such co-operation already begun shall be made official.." 2. Public welfare in government: We favor the prompt enactment of Federal laws for the protection of children : in industry following the passage and ratification of the Child Labor Amendment. We favor adequate appropriations for the Bureau of Home Economics in the Department of Agriculture, for the Women's Bureau and the Child ren's Bureau in the Department of Labor.. - , 1 ' . We commend the results secured under the operation of the Maternity . and Infancy Act and urge the contin uance by the Federal government of this co-operation with the statj-br the protection of maternity and in fancy. We favor recognition of the imme diate need of an equalization of edu cational opportunity throughout the nation, and favor action in conform ity with this American ideal. We favor the removal of legal dis criminations against women by spe cific measures 'not . prejudicial to Women's labor laws or to social wel fare legislation. We'believe that any legislation for equal rights between men and women should.be drawn with most careful consideration of each specific type of law involved,' instead of attempting to deal with the subject by blanket legislation' such as the so-called Equal Rights Amendment. Other wise, the complexities of the subject may cause inequalities instead of the desired equality. . 3. Efficiency i'n Government: We support the principles of the merit system as the basis of appoint ment to office and of promotion in office, and" urge its extension to all agencies of the executive' branch of government. We advocate the enforcement of the merit system, through legislation providing for the adoption of sound methods of personal administration, . through adequate ' financial support of the agencies responsible, for the application of the merit system. IN MEMORY OF MR. BEN KEENER The death angel who had been hov ering over our father and father-in-law for over a month crept into his loving home May 16. 1924, and took him away to rest with Jesus and his and our Almighty Gpd who is always ready to receive and comfort those who come unto Him with a true and ever-praying heart as did our father in his last days.. - He was kind and patient with all his suffering. Never was he dis pleased or dissatisfied with anything. He. very often spoke of his death be ing near and said he was ready to go home when God called him. Just a day or two before he became speechless lie said he wanted to go home and asked for the prayers of his loved ones. ' , He was 47 years of age when he was called, out of our presence. , He leaves a wife, father and moth er, two sisters and five. children to mourn his death, besides his many, many friends. But our loss ' is his eternal gain. ' - 1 MR. AND MRS. JESSE KEENER. Upper Cartoogechaye News.

And their waterfalls so fair. Small streams rushing to the; river 'Leaping o'er rock cliffs so high And the water falls a beauty ' Underneath the clear blue sky.. Waters dash as pure as crystal Scenes.-'of beauty grand and rare, There your soul js filled with wonder, Breathing this pure mountain air. On the mountains are wild flowers Ferns, laurels, and lilies grow Tis a scene of perfect beauty This each mountaineer, doth know. There the rhododendron cluster Is a picture when it blooms Large green foliage, snow white blossoms, Throwing out their sweet perfume.

B. ... . . ...... . .,(... these mountains hold ' treasures Minerals buried in their side, For to. find these hidden treasures . It has often here been tried. In the valleys are large orchards Fruits of every taste and hue Hanging mellow from the tree tops Glistening through the morning dew. . ... .. s From the river to the mountain, Over valley, hill and field, Grape vines and all kinds of berries, Oh, how lavish are their yield. Here the timid rabbit wanders And the gray squirrel in the tree, Gathering up his nuts .for winter Both are happy as can be. On the pretty grassy lowlands Cattle grazing all around And the sun shines all the day long On the pretty grassy ground. .. . ...... & . As you o'er these mountains wander In the dear old summer hours, From the valley you'll hear music Down among the leafy bowers. 'Tis our native mountain singers', ' Little birds of many kinds Singing merry from the tree tops, 'Tis a merry music chime. 'Tis a place to be remembered As in other lands we roam, Thereare none to be compared with Dear old Macon County homes. , RUTH ALLEN. X-Ray Sermons When Not To Laugh. . Perhaps no part of the Bible has been more commonly misunderstood than Solomon's saying, '-h'ere is a time for all things." An examination of the adjoining: phrases wilj show that the wise king did not mean that there are, times for doing evil, but that to avoid evil our every act must come in its proper soasom. We shali consider what are some of1 the 'times.' when Christians should refrain from laughing. None of us humans like to be made fun of, so when, we see a group of folks sniggering and do not know what is amusing them we are prone to think that they, are ridiculing us. If this happens at church, we may be less likely to attend church-regularly or if we - do attend services our thoughts and "feeling will be taken from things pertaining to the welfare of.our spirits. Once upon a time. in a Sunday School I heard-some young people singing somewhat after this fashion: "(Tee, hee) O, be prepared (Tee, hee) to met'thy God.", Do you suppose that . listening sinner's took warning of the danger of being, un prepared for judgment? And what stall.' we think of the multitude of preachers who try to ape Billy Sunday's nlcthods? Do they think that vaudeville shows will inspire 'religious feelings? I,f they would not use a story about "Pat and Moike" to catch the attention of a sleeping friend in a burning "building, why will they joke at a . soul that is in danger of the wrath of. God? By applying the kindly spirit of Jesus we can judge when are the times to refrain from laughing. One great writer has defined a gentleman as a person who never inflicts pain. It is neither good manners nor good religion to laugh when our doing so will hurt the feelings of some fellow men. We should not laugh at a smutty story or at anything which which brings ridicule upon things re ligious. To do so will please and en courage the enemies of God's king dom and persons who give aid and comfort to the encm;es of their gov ernment are traitors! X-RAY. Briartown News.
