EDITORIALS Being Unfair to Our Women— Within a decade, electric stoves, washing machines, iron ing machines, water heaters, mixing devices, refrigerators and similar power appliances will be as much a part of a house as the modern bathroom, is the prediction of Earle E. White home, editor of Electrical World. “While the modern office is filled with labor saving devices, only 18 per cent of the homes are thus provided. The women are required to do the same kind of drudgery their grandmothers did, all because the home is away be hind the times. “The development of the con sumer-owned power companies will bring about the further use of electricity in the home.” One of the most important problems befpre us of the South today is carrying electrical current to our farm homes. When the rural home enjoys the same comforts and necessary la bor-saving devices as the city home, then we shall see a great er “back to the country" move ment. Until recent years the South has had a surplus of cheap labor, but that condition has passed in to history—and it will not re turn. With less labor and high er labor, there will be fewer do mestic servants, and machines must come in to lighten the labor, of the kitchen and wash room. If we are to be fair with our women, we must do what we can to hurry along labor saving ma chines for the rural home. if £ y Advertising and What It Means to the World— Art, politics, music, drama, crime, industry, commerce, edu cation, and medicine, invest ments, inventions, war, history, all come in for their share of edi torial comment cast in phrases of commendation or condemna tion. . Advertising! How seldom it is granted even passing notice! What do you suppose would happen if every line of advertis ing now appearing in the publi cations of this country were im mediately and indefinitely dis continued? Demand would dwindle—se lection of merchandise would be hurled into a maze of uncer tainty—production would feel the sharp pinch of curtailment— merchandise would mildew on dealers' shelves because of lack of consumer interest—thousands would be thrown out of employ ment —buying power would be paralyzed—the entire nation would crash into the depths of financial depression strewn with business Wreckage- Conception of such a situation emphasizes the vital importance of advertising and endows it with the right to frequent con sideration in the editorial sec tion of the newspapers. But for advertising the daily paper of today would be an im possibility because the reader would be compelled to pay a sum so large that only a portion of the people could afford them. Its value is clearly proven by the fact that the largest manu facturers, once they start adver tising, continue it, adding to their advertising appropriations from year to year. If advertising didn’t pay, such statement could not be made. Just to cite one example, take Calumet baking powder. For more than 35 years its sales story has appeared in the daily papers of America. Each year it has increased its appropriation until today the Calumet people are investing millions in adver tising space, and this investment is Calumet's most valuable as set. It is worth more than all of its physical property. But after all, the finest thing about advertising in the daily press is the fact that even the smallest manufacturer or met- A THOUGHT | The effectual fervent prayer of a righteoui man availeth much.— James 5:16.

He can start as Calumet start ed—in a small way, and make his advertising finance his ad vancement. * ¥ ¥■ A Square Deal For Actors — An effort is being made by the professional actor to cleanse the name of his profession. It is their contention that too often persons under arrest are desig nated as “actors’* or “actresses" by the press, when in reality they are not members of that profession. In a letter to the editor of the Times-Recorder, E. F. Albee, of the Keith Circuit of Theaters, says: Dear Mr. Eve: Speaking for the National Vaudeville Artists’ association, may I ask you to con sider a request which seems to me fair and reasonable, but which I beg to assure you is offered in no spirit of criticism. Very frequently items appear in the newspapers in which wom en under arrest for petty crimes are called “actresses." Nine times out of ten this term is used through some custom which is certainly not justified in fact nor in the spirit of fairness and truth. In the ordinary cause of our activities these cases are investi gated by the National Vaudeville association. There were two in stances last week in which women under arrest were spoken of as actresses, whereas they were merely unfortunates of the street not connected in any way with the stage. Only recently one of the metropolitan newspapers attributed the criminal tendencies of two little runaway girls to the fact that they had been taught to do shoplifting by “two actresses whom they had met in .New York.” It is hardly worthwhile saying anything to emphasize the injustice this did to the reputa ble members of a hardworking profession, especially since it was quite untrue. May I ask you to establish a rule in your office which will provide that no woman who is arrested or otherwise comes in for mention in a derogatory way shall be called an “actress” un less the fact that she is really an actress is well established. It seems to me, if I may offer this suggestion, that a safe and proper ruling would be to say that a woman is an actress only if she is acting on the stage in some theatre, or is well known in the profession. As a profession, we believte the actor no worse than others. We know that, as Mr. Albee points out, many times crimes and misdemeanors are laid on their shoulders undeservedly and we are sure the newspapers will endeavor to comply with Mr. /Xlbee’s request. Os course, the reporter, mak ing the jail or prison beats, must as a rule, take the prisoner's word as to the prisoner’s profes sion, but most reporters and most newspapers will use more -care in the use of the terms "actor’’ and "actress." There always has been a close bond be tween the two professions.

Sept. 12, 1905) Miss Chloe Littlejohn is among the number Americus young la dies attenidng Wesleyan College, leaving yesterday. Mrs. W. A. Dodson, Misses Mattie Lewis and Georgia Bena Dodson, and son, Will, have returned home from North Georgia. Mrs. Florence D. Hollis and daughteres Misses Elizabeth and Mildred Hollis, returned yesterday from a stay in North Georgia. At a conferenc e_of Furlow Lawn Baptist Church a day or two since, Rev. R. L. Bivins was again unani mously elected to the pastorate, no other name than his being consid ered. This was a well merited and an appreciated compliment and the hope is expressed that Mr. Bivins will aciciept the call. For 7 years he has been pastor of Fulow Church. The price of the fleecy went the wrong way yesterday to the extent of a dozen points, and spot cotton for the time, dropped below ten cents. editor ials Justice must now “pli/y favorites.' > t Therefore, in ordei/ not to seem ' to do so, it is sometimes tempted to do the opposi/ e> and discrim- j inate against the/ “favored.” That may be/the case with Gov ernor Warren, t.

Considering the case just by itself it wou/d doubtless be just as well to ' paroy e Governor McCray. H.e has “learned his lesson” and . su f fered exemplary punishment.

But because he is so well known; because hie release might give color to the cynical view that “it is only the poor fellow without a pull that is punished,” the question is not so I easy. Personal justice is importaint. But general confidence in justice is also essential. .CONTINUATION k'ORDIC SUPREMACY Speaking for the thousand mil fln dark-skinned inhibtanits of the Bih, Rev.

Sept 12, 1895.) The older citizens of Americus wil perhaps remCmber Mr. William Wallace, who resided here about 1841 and was among the first ‘resi dents of the country. Mr. Wallace went to Mt. Vernon, Hl., where he recently died at the age of 70 years. During his residence here. Mr. Wal lace, according to the Mount Ver non Register, erected the first brick house built in, the city, making and pressing the brick for the same. Mr. Charlie Lingo, the energetic bill-poster and stage manager of the opera house, is having erected in various parts of the city large dou-1 ble deck billboards for the use of < the opera house and of his own pa trons. Daylight bicycle excursions, as wel las moonlight” spins are now the popular fad in Americus, and every morping at the dawn parties of young folks take a spin of three or four miles Into the country.

The riots in China; the defiance of Japan; the nationalistic move meints in India, Turkey, Egypt and the Phillippines; the uprisings in the Sudan aind the Riiff all iare con . sious parts of a united movement. The great war did more than up- I set Europe. It knocked the white I main off his pedestal al lover the ■ world. It aroused the black, the brown and the yellow people i against the white foreiginers, and the brunet whites against the blonds. i If Nordic supremacy is to con tinue, it must be by the achieve iments qf the Nordic, not by the passive aicquiescence of the re mainder of humanity in the mere assertion of his claims. As to the “superiority” of one race over another, not much is yet definitely known. ’ But one thing is certain. No dif ferience of race is so great as the difference of individuals in all races. The gan between the brightest and the dullest white man, or the brightest and dullest negro, is in comparably wider than any ascer tainable differeince between whites and negroes generally. If the white race is “superior” to the black, in mental capacity, it is not because an able white man is more intelligent then an able negro or a stupid negro more stupid than I a stupid white man . but because there is a larger proportion of one or / the other in the two races. j| ..<> ‘ Consider the lawn mower, the rake and the hoe.
