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.

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. L. A.
