Woman Lawyers and
Woman Notaries.
That was a happy conception
on the part of somebody—hav
ing, two judiciary committees in
the house of the Georgia legis
lature, for if wisdom shall die or
be killed.in‘otte—an eventuality
not'i’Aprobrfhle-iMt may yet have
a chaiiee of resuseitntion in the
other;
Committee No. 1 voted down
the bill to permit women to prac-
tiee law, but committee No. 2 has
indorsed the measure to let
women he appointed commercial
notaries. Wisdom got a resound
ing Whack in the former, but a
godspeed in the latter.
Other states have pEAKd both
of these lows so long ago that
they'Ore now asking among them
selves, “Does the Georgiu legisla
ture meet once a year, as we have
been led to believe, or once a
century I”
And it must be confessed that
many of the arguments being
used against the proposed laws
do give credence to the belief of
the existence of centenary ses
sions.
“We must offer no more op
portunities for women leaving
home, where they - rightly '-be
long," run the argument*.
“We thoroughly approve, how-,
ever, of woman earning a living,
but she must do it by staying at
home and engaging in the aes
thetic, refining and jonl-enno-
bling occupation of taking in
washing. We bid her beware—
in fart, we would forbid her en
tirely—embarking upon the peril
ous business of being a notary
public. Such a stormy career is
fit only for bold, seafaring men
like us; and, besides, we want the
money ourselves. Again we in
sist that woman is too refined
and too delicate a creature to lift
the’ ponderous lever of s twelvc-
or.noe seal and imprint it on
legal documents or business con
tracts. and still have strength
enough left to sign her name
and collect a quarter. Ah, to
think of women—even girls—hav
ing to earn money in this way
makes us shudder with the
cruelty of it!”
Other states hear and exclaim:
“Sure, it’s Rip Van Winkle talk
ing, and he isn’t quite awake!
When he is we will suggest to
him that it isn’t a question of
opening up more opportunities
for women to leave home. They
have already 1-ft. The root-hng-
or-die necessity of earning their
living has forced them to. All
that can now he done is to let
them enter whatever occupations
they desire, and the intellectual w.'ni.
In Earnest About
Good Roads.
The wisdom of abolishing the
old lease system and putting the
convicts at work improving the
highways of the state—a thing
for which The Georgian fought so
vigorously—is continually being
justified.
It has generated a good roads
fever that is co-extensive with
the boundaries of the state—in
fact, has spread beyond into
other Southern states—and by
reason of it Oeorgia occupies
the front rank in road improve
ment.
It hns already added millions
of dollars to the wealth of the
state. The distance from the
farm to rail and water transpor
tation has been shortened and
cheapened. Land values have
risen, and life has hecome easier
and happier.
And so apparent are these re
sults that the counties of the
state have dropped all .doubt nnd
delay and have set about road-
bnitdtng in earnest, working con
sciously or.unconsciously toward
this ideal consummation—J grad
ed and paved road from every
farmer’s home to the county seat.
What such a consummation will
do for Georgia is well nigh be
yond imagination.
Another proof of good roads
earnestness was the passage hy
the lower house of the legisla
ture of a hill permitting counties
to increase the rate of their road
tax from two mills to four mills.
The bill proposed by Representa
tive LeSeur was originally passed
by a vote of 97 to 50, and later
4 motiop to reconsider was em- -
pnAtlCAlly aqilFIChed hy a VOtfl oil verb |o macadamize. nn<
101 to 58.
Increasing the tax rate ordi
narily is never anywhere a popu
lar proceeding, but when it is
proposed for extending good
roads in Oeorgia, it makes an
immediate hit. Even the smaller
counties are clamoring for it be
cause under the old rate in many
cases they find themselves with
out sufficient funds with which
to maintain and use their con
vict* to the heat advantage.
A healthful and hopeful sign
is this, for it hns ever been th?
part of wisdom to spend some
money now thnt a greater return
may be had in the future.
The grocer said: "I have some good and satisfying break
fast food." I viewed with scorn and said: “Tut, tut! Your
breakfast food is nothing but—excelsior!^ Men had more sense
when I was young,” I said, when I had oiled my
EXCELSIOR tongue; “they lived on brend and wholesome
meat, and never asked themselves to eat excel
sior. Their grists they carried to the mill and had them
ground and paid the bill; and they were men of brawn and
pith; they never filled their stomachs with excelsior. Then men
got value for their scads; they reared up healthy girls and
lads; but now we feed them, day by day, on shredded thistles,
toasted hay, excelsior. We toddle to the mill no more; we
buy kids fodder at the store—the stuff put up by health food
ernnks; they carry in their little tanks excelsior. We’re guilty
of these measly crimes, nnd fh c n we talk of stringent times, and
at the county farm wc di? because, like chumps, we always buy
excelsior. For good old meal I’ll pay my rocks; I want no saw-
dust in a box; to old time ways I stick like glue, and you won’t
spc your uncle chew excelsior.” WALT MASON.

Cholera plagues have been un
known in American cities for tho
last two or three decades. Vast
ly improved methods of sanita
tion, the growing aholition of
crowded city tenements and a
general elevation of the standard
of living account for it. The
same causes have ended yellow
fever, which was once indeed the
scourge of America.
These Causes, however, have
not been operative in certain
European and Asiatic countries,

Swinburne island hospital, near
New York. There has been noth
ing like an outbreak in any
American city, nor is there likely
to he, if the proper care is exer
cised at the various quarantine
ports.
In the present day, more than
ever, eternal vigilance is the
price of health and the continu

People began to hear with wonder of

the extraordinary heresy that a better

From The New York World.
There Is sound *en*a In Herbert L.
Towle's suggestion of summer dress re
form for men. He urges the recognl*
tion of the shirtwaist aa a aultable gar
ment for luncheon or dinner and for
public places. He denounce* the wool
en uniforms of policemen and poat-
men.
In hot weather the woolen coat is an
abomination. It is the chief Infliction
of the city summer man. Swathed In
Its folds man sufTer* and awelters. He
is a pitiable victim of foolish custom.
Discomfort makes him Irritable and as
fit for quarrel or collapse aa he la unfit
for companionship.
The neat, clean negligee shirt Is cool
comfortable and attractive. With light
trousers and belt the shtrtwa'at man Is
more completely clothed than the wom
an with an open-neck gown or a peek
aboo waist. He Is more becomlnglj
dressed than a man in a coat. If he Is
nn athlete or has & good figure he ap
pears at his very best.
The general adoption of the man s
shirtwaist nnd Its admission to restau
rants and public places would contrlb-'
ute to tho health of city men. Clothing
that Increase* the effect of heat Is un
wholesome. Comfort Induces the serene
mind, and the serene mind Is the con
dition of efficiency.
For policemen, postmen, messengers,
bellboys, porters, the tight-fitting, h'gh-
collared. buttoned woolen coat Is a bar
barity In summer. Postmen who must
walk long distances with heavy mall
sacks should have summer uniform* of
khaki, or. better still, belted khaki
trousers with blourcs nnd loose soft col
lars. Both appearance and service
would be bettered by light uniforms.
Health, comfort, taste, humanity,
unite in support of the men's dress re
form movement. The only obstacle*
are tradition and prejudice—"that mon
ster, custom, who all sense doth eat.”
Let us throw down the bars against
cool summer attire. Off with the wool-
on coat! On with tho official blouse
and the social shirtwaist!

NEW JERSEY AND GEORGIA
From The School and Home of Atlanta.
The state of New Jersey hns re

the borders of that state. The feature
of the law that It la desired here to
apealc of is the following:
There Is provided a state school

are two inspectors at salaries rf $2,000)

Oeorgia employs a state school com
missi mer at a salary of $2,ftflfl-thf
same as the lowest paid man In th*
New Jersey department receiv
The contrast lo rather startling; and
It Is only the more startling when It it)
observed that the state school fund of)
New Jersey is lees than* twice ns great
ns Georgia's. One hates to think that
these figure* represent the velnttv
tercet cf the two states In thp educa-
tion cf their young people. Indeed,
they probably do not; but they do
some things that we people in Georgia
should earnestly consider.
In the number of officers provided,
the New Jersey people have shown that
they believe In the Importance—th#
practical, economic Importance of su

Is going to - expend some millions
dollars each year In a very comply
buHness enterprise, It In worth while to
have a sufficient force to Inspect nnd
supervise that business, to s?e thnt th#
money Is rot wasted.
In the salaries they have fixed they
have indicated that they think th* b*st
sc hool men none too good for th»- work,
nnd thnt they believe it worth while to
pay such men a salary commensurate
with the importance of the task, * '
they can afford to remain nt the

They have realised that It doesn't pay
to throw awny dollars to save p^nnl?*
New Jersey hns done well. She i.« tr
be congratulated for her wisdom In ele
vating her schools to their proper place
In th# state. Her schools are for her
children; they are not childish Inter

And Georgia? "Lord, how long.
