PRINTING PRESS, PULPIT, PETTICOATS
These are the three great levers that govern the world. Without them the bottom would fall out, and society would become chaos again. The Press patriotic, the Pulpit religious, but woman answer all things. There would be no going to church if there were no girls there. Neither would there be any going to war were the soldiers to meet with no applause but from the masculines. Without the sunshine shed by women, the rosebud of affection would never grow, nor the flowers of eloquence germinate. In short she is the steam-engine of life —the great motive power of Life, Valour, and Civilisation.
