THE WOMAN VOTER.
The Republican claim upon the
woman vote of the country because
of that party’s alleged superior ser
vices to woman suffrage and greater
and pri or recognition of woman’s
rights, and work in government and
party affairs is not supported by
the evidence. It is just the other
w v
fi, ,
decisive influence in putting the suf
frage amendment through Congress.
Under Republican administrations it
never got through. Without his
action the 19th Amendment to the
Constitution of the United States
might still be pending in Congress.
The rank and file, the party leaders
of both parties, were always divided
on the question. It was a Demo
cratic President who gave woman
and TTbmocratic / as well decisive as Republi- victory,
can states voted the amendment
to he Constitution
, Six years after Democratic women
were freely participating in their *
party councils. Republican women
were for the first time, and then
reluctantly, given formal recognition
in their national party organization.
Women are particularly interested
in child labor legislation. The Re
publican Congresses prior to 1912 re
fused to pass such legislation. It
was a Democratic President, Wood
row Wilson, who personally and suc
cessfully urged the passage of the
first child labor law through Con
gress, and a Democratic Solicitor
General, John W. Davis, who de
fended its constitutionality before
the Supreme Court. It was only
through the aid of Democrats in
Congress that the present Child
Labor constitutional amendment to
the Constitution was passed through
Congress, and Arkansas, a rock
ribbed Democratic state, the first to
adopt it. A Democratic House of
which John W. Davis was a member
passed the law creating the Child
ren Bureau. The bureau was main
tained and encouraged under Wilson.
Under Harding and Coolidge the ap
propriations for this bureau and al
so the Women’s Bureau in the De
partment of Labor were cut, and
further cuts are prophesied.
The Republican championship of
the woman voter was late, reluctant,
and unimportant.
LIKE FATHER. LIKE SON
An old West Virginian recalls a
sentence in a speech made in 1892
by Hon. John J. Davis, father of the
Democratic nominee.
“The law of honesty is as
today as it was when it was hurled
amid the thunders of Sinai—‘Thou
shalt not steal.”
John W. Davis, in his speech of
acceptance says:
‘‘In view of the record of the last
three years they pray*, not without
reason, for the government of com
morT Sense. We stand for one of
common honesty.
“What is honesty in government?
Honesty in the handling of the pub
lic funds and the public property, of
course. But it is something more.
It is candor and fair dealing and
impartiality and the transaction of
the public business in the open, in
broad daylight, without disguise, or
pretense, or evasion. It is the play
ingof no favorites, whether in mak
ing public contracts or in writing
public law's. It is the treating of all
classes und all sections of the coun
try on an equal basis. Men love
darkness rather than i light only
when their deeds are evil. Whether
Washington or out of it -we ■will
no invisible advisers in our
councils no alliance with any
those who work in secret for
ends.” '
State Convention
Of Democrats to
Start Wednesday
Macon, Oct. 6.—More than a thou
sand delegates, alternates and visit
ors will attend the democratic state
convention in Macon next Wednes
day, October 8, in the opinion of
state officials and other political ob
servers who are keeping in touch
with the preparations for the gath
ering. The convention will be held
at the city hall auditorium.
In addition to the interest that
always attaches to a democratic
convention in Georgia, there is said
to be more ambition than usual to
get places on the state executive
committee, in anticipation of a dem
ocratic national victory in Novem
ber and there is also interest in
four contests that the convention
must decide.
Delegates to the convention from
the sixth district are Claude Hutch
eson, Janesboro; Dr. C. C. Yarbor
ough, Macon j J. H, McCowan, For
syth; 0. E. Smith, .Tackson; Paul
Turner, McDonough; Mrs. J. B. Set
tle, Jackson; Mrs. Bruce C. Jones,
Macon.
Griffin delegates are Mrs. W. E.
H. Searcy and W. H. Connor.

CENTRAL OF GEORGIA GIVES PUBLIC
FACTS ABOUT RAILROADING
This is the thirty-seventh monthly statement devoted to giving our pa
trons information about this railroad. We began publishing these state
ments in the daily and weekly news papers on our line in October, 1921.
This plan of keeping our patrons post-ed is now entering upon its fourth con
secutive year.
Our statements have been planried with the idea of taking the ground
less mystery out of railroading. In former years much misunderstanding
existed between the patrons of the railroads and the managements of the
railroads. The railroads did not always take the public into their confidence,
and the public made mistakes by demanding the wrong kind of railway reg
ulation. We have sought to put an end to that unconstructive situation. It
has been our earnest desire to develop better understanding by informing
ourselves of our patrons’ needs and wishes (that is why we invite construc
tive criticism and suggestions) and by informing our public regarding tlm *
railroads.
l Our monthly statements have cox bred many phases of the railway b asi
hess. Among our subjects have been the increase in business handled by
this and other railroads, the causes of transportation shortages, co-opera
tion between the railroads and its patrons to get the best service out of the
railway plant, new equipment purchases and other expenditures for improve
ments, the menace to life and propert y caused by careles§ motorists at grade
crossings, the on-time performance of our passenger trains, our efforts to
promote industrial, mineral and agricultural development along our lines,
the part taxes and other expenses play in fixing railway rates, the receipts
and expenditures of this railroad expressed in terms of the cents which
make up the dollar, and the like. We have endeavored to discuss these sub
jects in a simple, non-technical manner that would be readily understood.
We have been very particular abo ut our facts. Although we invite criti
cism, none of the facts presented in our monthly statements have been suc
cessfully challenged.
We take pride in the belief that our statements have helped the people
of our territory to become better informed in regard to this and other rail
roads. We know that one effect has be en to help us become better acquainted
With the needs of our patrons and to make us more eager to render a better
service. We,believe there is much less prejudice against the railroads now
than there was three years ago. We believe our citizens generally realize
that it is more important to their ow n welfare to help the railroads through
constructive treatment than to injure them through unconstructive regula
tion. A part of this change in sentiment, we believe, has been due to our in
formative statements. t
We would like to have our patrons consider the task which confronts the
management of this railroad. The management is the trustee of an invest
ment of not far from one hundred and twenty million dollars. This invest
ment is in a railway plant which renders an indispensable service to the pub
lic. The power to regulate this and o ther railway properties emanates from
the people. If the people are misled, they may demand the kind of railway
regulation that, by injuring the railways, will injure themselves. If they
have the facts, however, they can be depended upon to do what is right and
fair. i *
We believe that we would be rem'ss in our duty as trustees of this great
property if we failed to keep our pub lie informed on railway matters. After
three years of this work, We are convinced that our patrons understand and
approve what we are trying to accomplish.
Constructive criticism and suggestions are invited.
