WHY NOT?
From the New York World.
Questioned as to her domestic ac-
tivities, on the trial of her suit for
divorce, Mrae. Schumann-Heink
plied that she '"cooked and scrubbed
and washed," and when the lawyer
expressed surprise she added: "Why
not?"
Why not. Indeed? The mothers of
most Americans who are remembered
cooked and scrubbed and washed. We
know that George Washington's
mother did all of these things. To the
mother of Abraham Lincoln they
were but incidents in the day's work.
Thousands of our people living in lux-
ury at this minute had mothers or
grandmothers who cooked and scrub-
bed and washed.
Why not? Most men toil today as
they always have done. If there is an
idea that work is ignoble, it does not
proceed from them; it has not been
handed down by the mothers of the
great and it has no approval in the
veritable annals of oar wholesome
politics or our good society. Wherever
such an impression prevails, it is
false, foolish and probably only fash-
ionable.
