SUBSCRIPTION 1 YEAR $1.50 C MONTHS 75c THE PROGRESS OF WOMAN SUFFRAGE An enthmuastic article on the woman suffrage movement, George Creel in the Century Mag axinc for March, shows that ten States and one Territory hav “already answered in the affirms tive,” that the lawmaking bodies of Wisconsin and Pennsylvania are on record with favorable li not final action, that Montana, Nebraska and the two Dakotas will vote on the proposition 1914, and that the legislatures of New York, New Jersey and low have taken the first steps for sub mitting a constitutional amend ment to the people in 101! This is undoubtedly an impro* aive showing and, ns such, would rob the demand for nation wide Federal action of any force it might possess even if Federal action in this particular were not contrary to constitutional provis ions. What more can the woman suffragists want. The matter properly belongs to the State for separate consideration, snd the States are considering and acting as rapidly as any sane observer has reason to desire or any right to expect.

Little did those ehivalroua cow- hoys of Wyoming dream what war to romo, when, 45 years •go, they conferred the ballot by way of compliment on perhaps half a hundred women whom they worshipped as goddesse*. It w»« the chivalry of these cowboys that really began the movement, for they acted before thore was any genuine agitation even among the women themselves. It i* true thnt Elizabeth Pailv Stanton, the anti- slavery reformer, called n "wo man’s rights eon vent ion “ in a private house at Seneca Falls. N. Y., in 1848, twenty-one years ear lier, hut that was really a part of the antislavery movement which by that year had reached an in- raudeiiccut stage, and Mrs. Stan ton sought “votes for women” with the aim of regulating and in terfering in the internal affairs of the Southern States by means of a reconstruction of the slavery.pro- viding Federal Constitution. Conceived in the anti-slavery agitation and horn out of tie chivalry of the Wyoming eobw boy*, women suffrage developed as a movement of the restless ohungciu!, "ism’’-seeking, social istu* West, as the listed States o Colorado. Utah. Idaho. Washing ton, California, Oregon. Kansas and Arizona clearly show. It is interesting to find that Mr. Creels article, though the work of an enthusiast for the cause and partisan throughout, incidentally admits that in Idaho st the last election only seventy-six per cent of the women voted as compared with eighty-four per cent of the men. thus weakening the claim that the public spirit of the one ligations ami responsibilities the average American citizen is decid edly vague, ho it happens that when a question of the Mexican sort is presented for general dis cussion we run upon opinions whjeh are violent and intemperate to a degree proportionate to the topsv tnrvy and care free manner of their formation.

In thin country every man should do his own thinking am let it carry him where if will, bu the pity of if is that the read c conclusions which are n forth in ho many of the newspa pers present great temptations to the lazy-minded. It is a far easier thing to adopt a badly drawn conclusion than to draw one for one’s self, i penally when one does not go hack to take measure of the prem ises It is a far easier thing to formulate and vituperate against things aa they are than to fulfill the responsibility of working out the problem. President Wilson and the secretary of stato are get ting particular fits from certain quarter* because Villa lias not acted with discretion in regard to one of Great Britain's subjects, and those who hove, from the first, desired intervention and the subjugation of Mexico are fur nished with another splendid op portunity for an emotional dis play of impatience nil intolerant at the way the powers in Wash iugton are handling the matter. It is rather amusing to notice passing also that those very edi tors who sounded the alarm that Mr. Bryau in the department in stato would ho sure to plunge the ountry into war are now full of scorn and indication to find him determined to delay this pain ful process as long ns it is bon ornbly and justly possible. The attitude of the British gov ernment in the Benton ease is far more broad Anil reasonable than he attitude qf the British press, but the British’'press is not so lit- and bloodUiinity by a jugful some of the anti-Wilson papers right hero i» Georgia. Tho average newspaper in Eng land seems to asauiup that this na- *,ion la responsible for General Villa’s actions because it does not understand that this government has npt given Villa recognition. The suapeiiHion by President Wil son of tho embargo against the importation of arms from this country into Mexico can by no tnurture of interpretation be ac- pted as recognition to Villa. It is important to bear in mind that the citizens of every other ountry are free to sell arms in * hut tho const it utionalist have not access to these arms and a continued r« fusal on the purl of the United States to xport arms into Mexico would of If amount to the moat partial assistance to Huerta, a thing, hick this government cannot af ford to give to a lawless assassin whose right to a dictatorship in Mexico it has refused to reeog- ni/.o. The embargo was put upon the exportation of arms from tliii country at a time when conditions in Mexico were such that it af forded a hope that strife might thereby be discouraged, but the privilege of selling arms in Mexi co, which the United States at one time withheld for good and suffi eient reasons, is now no longer forbidden because our neutral position obliges us to realize the flagrant injustice of forbidding the followers of Carranza the same chance* which those of rta are getting from foriegn sources. So far as this country is concerned the constitutionalists are on no other footing than the other insurreetoes of Mexico, who are in revolt against Huerta. Great Britain has no desire to force an imaginary responsibility j for the acts of Villa upon this na tion. Sir Edward Grey has made this point very clear, but there plenty of people in this coun try who are too hungry for eon quest to examine and wiegb the rights and reasons involved in the situation and are jumping euge ly upon this incident u.f an excuse for stirring up all sorts of con fusion and hornets nests. While it is true that interven •ion may eventually be necessary there seems to he no excuse for ontemplating such a drastic course at this time. Kcpirntion for the killing of Benton can be ured through the ordinary di plomatic methods and one sue incident in a lawless territory like that of Northern Mexico con stitute* no cause for such fantas tic international chivalry as arm ed intervention.

While washing and sunning are of great value, they are not al ways sufficient, or always appli cable. So to make assurance EDWARDS IS RIGHT. Congressman Charles 0. Ed wards of the First Congressional District hit the nail squarely on the head when he said “IT IS TIME FOR SOUTH GEORGIA TO GET TOGETHER, FORGET TING OLD FACTIONAL LINES, AND FIGHT FOR SOUTH GEORGIA.” This is the same doctrine* that the Journal has been preaching for several months. Like Cong ressmaii Edwards the Journal has grown sick and disgusted with this everlasting talk and fighting About questions that are nothing more or less than factional. We folks down in South Georgia have been going around long enough with over ready drawn swords to fight for a Hoke Smith man, or Joe Brown man for some polit ical offico. We have clearly shown that we have more fighting nerve than we have political sense. It perfectly alright for us to be for or agaitutt Hoke Smith for United States Senator, but it is all wrong fpr ua to forget our own interests to such an extent as to vote for any man just because he happenod to be with us in the political battle* that gave birth the Hoke Smith-Joe Brown fac tion.

Cool heads have predominated in the administration of the coun try's affairs, and thus far have won. Hasty action has many times been urged, but fortunate to this country, and to the whole world, such action has not been taken. And be it said to the hon or of Great Britain, she has like wise been led by cool heads, and good temper. In speaking of the position England has occupied connection with the Mexican situ ation the Macon Telegraph says: “Groat Britain has not master ed a world-girdling empire dur ing centuries for nothing. If Benton had been an American, the first uloiy of his murder or execution, or whatever it was, would have stirred popular feel ing to such a high pitch that the administration might have been stampeded and intervention fol lowed. But the British, out of the multitude of their experiences, have acquired patience. The tone of the British press is temperate anil the British gov ernment will leave the question of intervention to the United State*. Any other course would be impo lite, according to the statement made in the House of Commons by the Under Secretary of For eign Affairs. Presumably this re fers partly to the danger of a misunderstanding with the United States and partly to the fact that England is estopped by her re cognition of the nuerta govern ment. Moreover, a degree of calmness was rendered inevitable by the claim of Gen. YUla that Benton was put to death “because he went into my room and pulled out a revolver to kill m«.” This may be, and probably is, a gross exaggeration of Benton’s atti tude of protest, but proofs that it is untrue are lacking, and the mil itary laws of all nations intended to protect commanders from as sassination are very stem. Probably the matter will end in a mere claim of damages in be half of Benton’s family, so far as England is concerned, hut even Villa must realize now that he acted unwisely, that the Consti tutionalist cause has been greatly harmed, and that Huerta has been correspondingly strengthened Mr. Bacon had been laid to rest. In geniinely Hardiwickian style, therefore, he began to tell folks abqut it. When it got into the newspa pers, too, he didn’t trim or side step the situation. He said he wasn’t really anxious that the lid be kicked off quite so soon, but that, so long as it was off, why— it was off, that was all! It soon became apparent, how ever, that Mr. Hardwick’s an nouncement had been seized upon by ertain anti-IIoke Smithitea as a circumstance tending to show that the senior United States Sen ator was undertaking to “grab the whole works” in Georgia, and that Hardwick, being closer to the Senator than anybody else, was, of course, a party to the plot. This, apparently, was not doing the senior Senator any particular good with the common or garden variety of voters, and so it was stated that Senator Smith had nothing whatever to do with the Hardwick announcement, and would have nothing to do with the junior senatorship race, any way.

Our friend James Nevin, au thor of “Side Lights on Georgia Politics,” that appear in the At lanta Georgian, is seeing things of late, tnd very strange things, too. The announcement that both Congressman Thomas Hardwick, and Attorney General Felder will (be oandidates for Senator Bacon 'a place in the Tlpited States senate has caused Brother Nevin to have all sorts of dreams. But in all of these dreams the clever writer sees the same deep plot of Sena tor Hoke Smith's to throw the “Slatonites,” ns he calls them, into a state of confusion, and thereby not only keep himself in the senate, hut also to elect one of his followers the Junior Sena tor. In Sunday's Georgian (dated Mondavi Mr. Nevin dreams tin- following: As has been remarked before, there is some very pretty jockey ing for position going on in Geor gia political circles nowadays, and the preliminaries yet are far from framed up to stay put. The greater degree of aggres siveness to date has been shown, moreover, by the Smith-Hardwiok Felder faction, if one may be per mitted to call it that—it being ne -ssarv to tack on a few titles and so forth now and then—with the Slaton-Brown-Howell faction bv no means disposed to sleep over rights, real or imaginary, it may have. It seems fairly well authenti cated that some of the Smith- Ilardwiek-Felder faction have not been any too well pleased with Tom Hardwick's precipitate “butting in” to the senatorial game. Still, Hardwick ever has been one of the kind thst “butts in” About this time Attorney Gen eral “Tom” Felder went to Washington on State business, and then there began to filter hack to Georgia rumors of his can didacy for the junior senatorship. "Sakes alive!” hollered the an- ti-Rmithites right here. “Can things he thus!” “Is it pos-si-ble that Hardwick and Felder both are to rnn for the junior senatorship, thus making the eleetion of an anti-Smithite practically certain t” The anti-Smithites could not swallow—at least, not as at one gulp—news so amazing. They viewed it with evident suspicion, if not alarm! ‘No.” said they to themselves, said they, “it can not be so. Ah —we have it! noke is undertak ing to save bis own face by ap parently dividing his following over the junior senatorship!” What a plotter and a schemer Iloke is, anyway! So now "they say” Hoke delib erately is dividing his support on the junior senatorship, in order that he may say, “I didn't have anything to do with the junior senatorship race. If T were un dertaking to 'hog the whole show’ in Georgia, surely T would not let my dear friends Hardwick and Felder slash one another’s throats in order that my enemy—say, Slaton—might win!” There is this about the thing: No matter what Hoke says, he can not please an anti-Hokeite; snd no matter what he says, he can not displease a Hokeitc. Some people go so far as to sus pect the senior senator of a deep- seated design to achieve his own re-election, and not to (Bother ex tensively over anything else. They are people who don’t get excited much about things, in the tain.
