Greetings to the
Glidden Tourists.
Saturday afternoon brings to
Atlanta the Glidden tourist*.
Since they left New York a week
ago every stage of their progress
southward has been watched with
eager interest by the people of
this city.
Over good roads am) over bad
roads, thru sunshine and down
pour, over bridge and thru
swollen stream, skimming level
stretches of perfect roadway and
struggling thru mud and mire,
this interest has followed them.
And now it culminates in their
arrival here and a stopover of
two days,
There is nothing in which At
lanta and Georgia arc more vi
tally concerned thnn in the sub
ject of good roads. The Glidden
tour was the pioneer in spread
ing the good ronds gospel by
means of the automobile. It has
penetrated the country in every
direction, showing by striking
object lesson the benefits of im
proved highways and the harm
and waste of the neglected ones.
It has likewise helped the
progress of the automobile,
bringing to light by actual test
its points of strength and of
weakness. Manufacturers have
profited by the knowledge so
gained.
The Glidden tour has helped,
therefore, not only to make the
highways broad and smooth, but
has also helped to make the mo
tor car strong and safe.
Atlanta has for the tourists its
heartiest welcome. As distin
guished visitors the city takes
pride in extending them its greet
ings, and as participants in a
great work it accords them un
stinted approbation.
A round of entertainments has
been prepared. May the guest*
get therefrom something of the
warm pergonal quality of the
welcome Atlanta has for them.
Atlantic Deeper Waterways asso
ciation at Richmond: “I predict
that within ten years women will
vote in Virginia. Evolution of
the democratic form of govern
ment . leads irresistibly to this
logical result.”.
The second, by Dr. Anna How
ard Shaw, president of the Na
tional Woman’s Suffrage associa
tion, in an interview just be>
fore the meeting of the associa
tion at Louisville, Ky.: “South
ern women are more ready for
the ballot than those of any other
section of the country. They
have, in fact, taken to suffrage
wonderfully. Georgia, Louisiana
and Virginia have made astonish
ing records.” ’
While we can not agree with
Dr. Shaw that woman’s suffrage
has any immediate chance of
Huceess in the South, we can not
deny that the sentiment has
made a headway here that, con
sidering the section’s innate con
servatism, is truly amazing.
It is, however, only a part of
the growth of the sentiment all
over the nation. The movement
shows no signs of retrogression.
Its path is marked with victory
after victory.
The two statements quoted
should furnish the people of the
South with food for much earnest
thought. It is true that we aban
don any old custom with great
reluctance, but the issue of wom
an’s suffrage is destined to be
upon us at no distant date.
Just tiow we would do well to
discard altogether any lingering
attitude of levity and ridicule we
may have toward it, and be pre
pared to acquaint ourselves with
the conditions and causes that
have given it momentum, and be
rondy to decide it as it should
be decided—on its merits alone.

The South and
Woman’s Suffrage.
Here are two statements made
recently in public addresses by
distinguished speakers:
The first, by Governor Mann of
irginia in welcoming the dele
tes to the convention of the
Canada’s Population.
Canada’s right to fame does
not rest entirely on the fact that
it refused to enter a reciprocal
trade agreement with the United
States, nor is the activity of its
people confined chiefly to burn
ing American flags and to de
feating all of its statesmen who
cast so much as a friendly eye
across the border. That is an
erroneous impression gained from
the events attending the reci
procity election.
Canada is a growing country,'
and in recent years has been
very busy with that growth. Its
manufacturing industries have
been swelling in volume, while
its wheat culture and dairy'and
poultry farms are known through
out the world.
The recent announcement of
the result of its decenninl census
shows whnt has been its growth
in population. The total popu
lation now is 7,081,868, an in-
creaso of 1,710,494 in the last
decade.
It is a safe assertion that n
lnrge part of tho increase of
population has been drawn from
among the farmers of tho border
states of this country who were
drawn across by tho luro of the
virgin wheat soils of its expan-
siye plains.
Canada’s population figures,
when compared to those of this
country, may seem insignificant,
but Canada is a country whose
development has lmrdly yet be
gun. Wo talk about onr unde
veloped resources, but when they
arc compared to those of Cana
da we are an ancient civiliza
tion.
Tho Canada has liftlo more
than 7,000,000 people, its area is
lnrger than that of all continen
tal United States? being 3,729,-
666 square miles, while the area
of the lnttcr is 3,616,484 square
miles. Canada is the largest of
nil the possessions of the British
empire. It is larger even than
Australia.
Its possibilities, then, can be
seen at a glance. Only a mis
guided sentiment in its recent
election made it shut the door
between itself and the market
opjxtftunities to be found in the
more than 90,000,000 people of
the United States."
"The Vice of Early Rising" Is a newa
paper headline. How easy It la not to
become addicted to this vice!
. Snubbing posts, it is said, will be used
on the Panama canal. It will not do,
however, to attempt to be too exclusive
with a great enterprise like this.
A Massachusetts couple attempted to
get married on a hunter’s license, is
this a sign that in tho matrimonial
game one of them will lead the other a
merry chase?
Poet Kipling in his most recent ef
fusion declares that "the female of the
species Is more deadly than the male."
The suffragettes will get him yet if he
doesn't watch out.
The saying, who sows the wind
muvt reap the whirlwind is true, tho
the harvest may be long delayed. The
Manchus In China sowed cruelty and
oppression unmolested thru the cen
turies, now' has come their harvest of
blood.

THE MEDICAL MISSIVE.
THIS WEEK IN COTTON
By JOSEPH B. LIVELY
At the close of the week there Is little change In prices of cotton as com
pared with tho closing quotations of a! week ago. Tho change amounts to
only 2 to 6 points loss.
For tho first time since 1908, the low price for spot being 8 11-lOc, the
prlco has been quoted below 9 cents, for both spot and futures. In Savannah
spot sold at 8 3-4c, while October and January delivery. In New York sold at
8.82 and 8.91, respectively, on Wednesday. The market closed the week at a
small rally, duo to predictions for colder weather In the West, It was said,
the purchases coming almost entirely from tho shorts.
Sentiment Is still bearish. The world Is Still against tho price. Frdm all
quarters It Is believed by certain of the trade that tho price will touch the
8-cent level before the decline Is checked. This oplnlnei is based on the full
movement to market below 9 cents.
The movement Into sight the past week show* a slight decrease, as com
pared with the same week last year. The amount brought Into sight from
September 1 to October 20. Inclusive, aggregates S,3U),814, an Increase of
577,271 over last year. With this amount marketed, It would seem that the
last of the "distress cotton” had made Its appearance* A steady decrease In
the movement Into sight would soon change the sentiment of the 8-cent ele
ment. A material decrease would bring spinners Into the market In large
numbers. All they need at tho moment Is a "hunch” that the owners of tho
staple will realst a further decline to make them change their minds,
whether trade la bad or good, .
Mill takings were less than expected, due. It was said, to the failure of
ships to land In foreign ports. The shortage will be.made good In next week's
report.
NEW YORK.
Perhaps few of even the most pro
lific letter writers know that letter
writing may sometimes be used to ad
vantage as a remedy for disease.
It Is nevertheless true that the neu
rologist, In treating certain nervous
disorders, now and then finds that he
can convoy a deeper and more lasting
“suggestion" to his patient by the writ
ten word than by the spoken one. Even
to patients who come regularly to the
office It Is sometimes helpful to write
a letter of suggestion and explanation
concerning their condition. Occasion
ally the physician may find It advisa
ble to rfend the patient away, not only
for the sake of change of environment,
but also for the sake of an opportunity
to write to him or her regularly for a
while.
But perhaps even more Important Is
the benefit to be derived from writing
down a statement of their trouble by
patients themselves who have wrecked
their health by brooding over private
woes. Freud, of Vienna, lays great
stress upon the value of confession;
and where it Is not possible to confess
verbally, either because of the nature
of the trouble or because no suitable
confidant Is available, the virgin page
may become one's confidant. It would
do many people good to write a full
account of whatever Is worrying them
sick, even tho the manuscript be Im
mediately burned. It is natural for the
feelings to gain expression; It Is un
natural for them to remain pent up.
Perhaps In no other condition Is let
ter writing more beneficial than It
nostalgia. The homesick boy or girl,
who, at this time of year, Is moping
among strafige surroundings at school,
may derive conslderable.therapeutlc aid
from letters both to and from home.
Also, we are told, letters are not Infre
quently of marked medicinal value In
that most desolate of Ills, “lovesick'
ness.”
In seasickness, however, no amount
of chirographlcal effort Is of any avail.
Fortunately one doesn't die of mal de
mer.

them full and equal suffrage that they fall

The trouble about local option Is that
while one place may prohibit the next

and the prohibition town will, therefore,
suffer on account of Its liquor-selling

From Life.
An orator, having written a speech
which he Intended to deliver on a cer
tain occasion, gave It to a friend to read
and desired his opinion of It. The friend,
after some time, told the author he had
read It over three times; the first It ap.
reared very good, the second Indiffer
ent, the third quite Insipid. "That will
do," said the orator, very coolly, "for I
have only to repeat It once.”
Prohibition at Its worst Is a long way
better than local option at Its best. They
have both been tested In Georgia and
every one, who is not In aom. way In
terested In the liquor traffic, will readily
agree that nothing la as good as prohi
bition has proven.
