There have been and are I will own, a few exceptional women who have competed for some sort of success or fame in the world’s arena and come away with a laurel wreath. Still, Far- ley, taking the race, I honestly believe the woman to be man‘s inferior both mentally and physically. She is the weaker vessel, an after thought, de- signed for a helpmate, not a bread winner; she was formed for the do- mesticity, not the publicity of life; she was constitutionally created to be- in subjection to man, and therefore her modesty. her deportment. and her color of mind should match the divine intention.” “God help them! Yes. there are millions, but, Farley, I am not saying a woman cannot or should not work. Both Adam and Eve toiled, but he delved and she span. She did not filch the spade.
