the seriousness with which lead
ing California suffragettes are
takiug the right of suffrage, how
they have set out to study state
and uational political questions,
to familiarize themselves with
the merits and demerits of each,
so as to be able to caat their bal
lots intelligently.
And now comes the news from
.**:» Chicago that suffragettes there,

from the school’s women students
may be chosen future mayors, al
dermen and councilmen of Chi
cago.
In other words, the Chicago
woman, conscious of the ap
proach of her political destiny, is
preparing for it.
The general opinion is that
woman’s influence in political
life will be to uplift it, will be
particularly active against the
saloon and other agencies that
make for immorality.
Some commenters think that
no effect will be noticed for a
long time—until woman has ac
customed herself to her new ob
ligations and the discharge
thereof.
This view is taken by The New
York Tribune, which says: “It

White It la doubtless true that we are
turning out frogi our multiplicity of
medical colleges too many doctora for the,
good of the people at large, neverthe-
leas there is one vesy positive benefit
growing out of the present-day preva
lence of medical teaching.
The benefit referred to ta twofold, but
applies only to cities wherein one or more
medical colleges are located. First, It
insures to the community a higher grade
of medical ability and skill than ob
tains In cities without a medical col
lege. • Thla higher grade of akill re
sults from the fact that each medical
college numbers upon Its teaching force
from twenty-live to seventy-five profes
sors and Instructors. These men srs all
obliged, by reason of their teaching ob
lige tion, to study systematically over the
entire branch which they teach each
year. It has been said truly that we
never really learn a thing until we have
taught it. Since these teachers are nearly
all in active practice, the public reaps the
benefit of the enforced study which the
colleges impose upon them.
In Atlanta, for example, one medical
college aloha has upon Its teaching staff
fifty-five physicians. There are in **
medical teachers connected with
these several Institutions. The result is
that there are probably more well equlp-
C id young physlciana practicing In At-
nta than in any other city of like size
in thla country. ,
The second benefit to the public Is a
disadvantage to the profession. We re
fer to the fret clinics which put high
class medical and surgical skill within
the reach of the poorest members of the
community. Unfortunately a good many
people who are able to pay physicians
take advantage of these clinics.
It Is probanle that In Atlanta, af
other medical centers, more than half of
the practicing physicians are engaged In
tending the on-coming crop of budding
medicos, and. Incidentally, in keeping
themselves well-abreast of the times.

Suffragettes Preparing.
For Citizenship.
The success of the California
amendment lias given n boom to
suffragette activities everywhere.
Wherever equal suffrage is an
issue, it has heartened the forces
fighting in that cause and
spurred them to greater endeav-
ors and therefore made their vic
tory more likely. In towns ami
communities where such things
never existed before aggressive
suffragette clubs have been or
ganized.
Practically all observers of cur
rent events admit the eventuality
of the suffrage movement. They

Keal hunters are fnlrly safe from real
hunters, but nobody Is safe from the fool
with the gun. for no gun la fool proof.
The latest report of a tragedy In the
woods la that two Mlnnesnja hunters
were fired upon while skinning a moose,
end one Killed. “Other hunters evidently
mistook them for game," uccordlng to
' e report of the resident correspondent.
Juet what sort of game do two men
•klnnlng a moose resemble? Only a hunt
er unused to guns and game could mis
take them for wild animals. Only an
excitable Individual walking thru the
woods with a gun and ready to shoot
without Investigation could mistake the
half-skinned moose for game. But Just
that type of hunter Is ubiquitous In the
autumn woods. That ta why, especially
In thickly settled sections, where game

as risky for a hunter to range the wooda

"So you think you coul(J> borrow money from any bank to atort thl»
business, do you?" The Business Doctor smiled. “My friend, yoji are
making a very common mistake of thinking that a banker Is simply a
money loaner. That may have been
true In the old day,, when a banker
was simply a man who had retired
from business and opened a private
loan office where he loaned out his own
money.
“Under those circumstances the per
sonal equation entered largely Into
every transaction. He was using his
own money, and In many cases- was
willing to take a chance because ho
knew the borrower and knew he would
succeed; but. In common with every
other sort of merchandising, banking
ha, changed.
“The banker I, no longer a money
loaner. He It a merchant, and all the
goods he has In stock are on consign
ment. His sole article of merchandise
Is money, and, of course, no man who
needs his merchandise htu, cash to
pay for It. The money Is deposited
there by his consignees, and they are
liable to withdraw It at any time they
see nt, so If he has sold this money
on a credit he niust have something that can be turned Into money In case
the consignee calls for his goods.
“As every business man knows, liabilities never decrease In time of_
stress and assets almost Invariably do when they must be turned Into cash
post haste. The hanker also knows this, and the result Is that to get a loan
of 12,000 a customer should have nasets of about double that. This Is the -
reason that there Is no question of favor or personal feeling In a bank.
When a man goes there to borrow, he goes not with cap In hand cringlngly
asking for a favor, but as a customer who is to bs cstered to and pleased
for without him the hanker would do no business and make no living. But
If his assets are not good, if his credit Is not grfod, then Ills trade Is no
more valuable than would be the trade of a tramp to Tiffany. He hasn’t
the wherewithal to bay the goods he wants, and so Is not even a possible
customer.
“It seems that Tnany business men have banks mixed up with - ambu
lances and lighthouses. Banks are not life-saving stations. A man whose
business Is about to tumble about his ears has no business to go to a bank.
The bank looks for Its customers among those who are on the top wave of
prosperity, who want to use their money to make more, for which he gives
the bank a commission In Interest. The man who Is In a hole should scurry
around among his friends and relatives, not go to hie bank. It. Is this fact
which has given rise to the statement that a bank la perfectly willing to
■ loan money to a man who does not stand In the need of It, but gives the Icy
hend to the mnn who does need It.
“The plunger, the man who wants to take -a flyer,’ the man who wants
to speculate - in something outside of his business, the man who Is deeply
In debt, should not go to a bank: banks sell money to people, and this
monev must be paid for wifh visible assets and good credit; people of this
type haven't the legal tender to-give for tho money.
“Your chance of getting a bank to back you In this scheme of yours
Is slim. Indeed, and no bank man would dream of putting his depositors'
money Into anything so speculative as this. Why should he? His only
chance would be to get 6 per cent on the loan, and he could Just, as easily
open up the business himself and take all the profit If he were a chance-
taker; but that la Just what bankers are not. They are merchants who sell
money, and tangible assets are the only legal tender for money. You will
hove to go elsewhere for your backing, young man."

greed for office, makes null and volu

LOCAL OPTION, A FRAUD.
Editor The Georgian:
Whisky and the drink habit is now the
most vital question confronting the Amer
ican people, and especially is this true a?
to the people of the stnte^of Georgia at
this time.
Local option is*a fake, a fraud and
vote catcher of the deepest dye. There is
nothing permanent In It. An election can
be called every few years, and such elec
tions can inaugurate and create more hell,
strife and contention to the square inch
In any county than all other issues com
bined. How any lover of his fellowman
any thinking man. any statesman or any
man who loves his state and country can
be in favor of the traffic in whisky In any
manner, shape or form is one of the pro
found mysteries of this life.
Submitting the whisky question alone to
the vote of tne people is an utter fake anu
political trick; all who want prohibition
will vote for tho candidate standing «n
that plank and all who want whisky wm
vote for the candidate standing on twu
plunk, and thereby the sentiments of tne
voters of Georgia will he definite nnd ac
curately ascertained on the whisky ques
tion. Local option means every count
can be a law-maker and government in
itself. .Georgia is now cursed unto death
with local laws. The true remedy
Is uniform and general laws throughout
the state In everything. The intelligent
and thinking voter of this country is for
state-wide prohibition with near-beer am
the lockers cut out and have the law en
forced. What proportion this class
voters bears to the other class who want
whisky is an unknown quantity to JJJH
