Lillian Lindbergh Roberts






As another  Lame Cherry exclusive in matter anti matter.


Once upon a time, there actually were moral, wise and pioneer leaders in Minnesota to the ilk which festers there now in Homosota. In memorial, the Lame Cherry remembers Lillian Lindbergh Roberts, sister of American Hero, Charles Lindbergh, and daughter of American Congressman, Charles August Lindbergh.

Mrs. Roberts died young and never lived to see women's suffrage, nor the calamity which women have abused the right to vote in equal degradation as men have, and in some of the worst cases, surpassed the ignorance of man with the self righteousness of women.
Men are always lazy, self centered brutes and require women to be the harbinger of morality, work and civilization, to assist men from the knowledge of good and evil, to one of eternal life.

This is a portion of Mrs. Robert's treatise on rural women in being long liberated to work too hard, as their sisters in the urban areas held concerns over voting and later demanding to be put back under the plough.

"By Mrs. Lillian Lindbergh Roberts Minneapolis, Minn.

The suffrage movement has been left to a very large extent to the women of the cities and towns, for organization. This is consistent with natural law, since organization of any sort invariably is first effected in the most populous districts. Yet probably there is no class of women to whom the fundamental principles of suffrage apply more strongly than to the women of the country and farm—for they, more especially than their city sisters, work alongside the men, in the same capacity. Farming and country activities have become more highly specialized in recent years, but even considering this, there is no other occupation where the wife knows so thoroughly her husband's business.

Very few are the women in farm communities who cannot give their intelligent attention and aid to any particular business at hand, be it in the field, dairy, stockyard, or in the marketing of farm produce. Since the country woman indulges in the same activities as her husband, father or brother, as the case may be, in addition to her own particular work, is she not justified in expecting the same rights and privileges in helping determine the laws that govern their joint activities? Here, at least, we do not need to argue that the woman's work is equal in importance to the man's.

It is the same."
