SUFFRAGISTS OF ATLANTA ARE ANXIOUS TO GREET NRS. PANKHURST IN THIS CITY
Presence Here Would Be a Tremendous Aid to the Cause in Dixie, Declare Supporters
LEADER OF MILITANTS
MAY CRUSADE SOUTH
Mrs. McLendon Believes Visitor Can Throw
Light on British Conditions That Will Win
Friends for Her Cause in This Section.
Mrs. Emmeline Pankhurst. militant suffragist leader, of England, daily
approaches the shores of the United States. And here in Atlanta the suf
fragists have come to a great desire. They would have the staunch British
woman come here to tell them of her work and her hopes.
Here and there over the United States are knots of suffragists who are
ready to scoff at Mrs. Pankhurst. Some have said even she would not be
welcomed, according to dispatches.
Not so in Atlanta. Mrs. M. E. Mclajndon. president of the Georgia
Equal Suffrage Association, said yesterday Mrs. Pankhurst would be wel
comed to Atlanta, and enthusiastically. Mrs. Mclx*ndon said she had talked
the matter over with suffragists in Atlanta, and now she is even casting
about for some means to induce the British leader to come to Atlanta.
Os course, she tells you. and the other Atlanta suffragists make haste
to affirm, the militant methods of
English suffragists are not to be ac
cepted. Atlanta suffragists do not in
dorse the extremities of their Eng
lish sisters. Still
“Mrs. Pankhurst is the leader in a
great fight,’’ said Mrs. McLendon.
“She Is our greatest champion. Sure
ly we should welcome her, and be glad
to hear her. We are seeking always
for the truth, and we should like to
hear from her lips the story of her
fight in England. Surely there must
be some factor in the English situa
tion that we know nothing of to cause
the militancy that is being held
against the cause by so many peo
ple”
Mrs. McLendon’s idea Is to secure
a hall, in event Mrs. Pankhurst comes,
and arrange for public lectures by the
English leader.
The thought that Mrs. Pankhurst
will tell something of the fight in
England that is not known to suffra
gists here impels other suffrage work
ers of Atlanta to desire her coming
Miss Katherine Koch, of No. 382 South
Moreland avenue, one of the leading
suffragists of the State, is another
who would welcome Mrs. Panichurst,
and for much the same reason as Mrs.
McLendon.
“Not only Is Mrs. Pankhurst our
leader, but she can tell us facts con
cerning the fight in England that
probably do not get to us now,” said
Suffragists Invite

Miss Koch. "We are seeking always
for the truth.
"Certainly women of the South
would never indorse Mrs. Pankhurst’s
militant methods. For one thing, it
would not be necessary, as our men
are not like the men of England. The
situation is different.”
Mrs E. A. Matthews, of Washing
ton t* race. another leader in suf
frage work in Atlanta ajid through
the State, would be glad to see Mrs.
Pankhurst in Atlanta.
All for Same Cause.
"She is working for the same cause,
and is the bravest fighter for that
cause," she said. “Without indorsing
the extreme methods of the British
suffragists, we should gladly welcome
the opportunity to pay tribute to the
most indefatigable and fearless work
er in a noble cause and to hear her
story.
“Her appearance, too, would help
the cause, attracting .attention to It
from all sides.”
Mrs. Matthews’ daughter. Miss Ma
mie Matthews, is one of the foremost
suffrage advocates among the young
er set in Atlanta. She is now a stu
dent in Shorter College, but last
spring, at the time the Atlanta work
ers were preparing for the great suf
frage parade in Washington, she was
in Atlanta and was one of the most
active.
"If she were here,” sail Mrs. Mat
thews, "she, too, would feel that Mrs.
Pankhurst should oe welcomed.’’
erners, we have our regard for the
doctrine of State’s rights.
"But, of course, we want the ballot,
and falling its grant by the State, we
should look to the constitutional
amendment, the prospect of the pass
age of which through Congress Is
bright.” ,
It is this sentiment that is the es
sence of a letter which has been sign
ed by leading suffragists in the dif
ferent Southern States, and sent to
each Southern Governor. Mrs. Mc-
Lendon displayed the letter, of which
she is one of the signers.
Ask Governors to Meeting.
“We are asking the Governors of
the Southern States to meet with us
in New Orleans, where a convention
of the Suffrage Workers of the South
will be held November 10 and 11.”
The letter is:
"My Dear Governor: The under
signed women of the Southern States,
on the part of the suffragists of their
respective States,earnestly request the
Governors of the Southern States or
their representatives, to meet them in
conference in New Orleans. November
10-11, to discuss and adopt a uniform
plan of action for the adoption of
woman suffrage in the South.
“We are united In the belief that
suffrage Is a State right and that the
power to define a State’s electorate
should remain In the executive right of
the State. However, we recognise
that woman suffrage is no longer a
theory to be debated but a condition
to be met. The inevitable 'votes for
women’ is a world movement, and un
less the South squarely faces the Is
sue and takes steps to preserve the
State right the force of public opin
ion will make it mandatory through
a National Constitutional Amend
ment.
"In fact, the National Council of
Voters, consisting of enfranchised
women, has for its object the influ
encing of national legislation to se
cure the ballot for the women who
have not yet received it. While as
Southerners we wish to see the power
of the State retained, yet as women
we are equallv determined to secure
as of paramount importance the right
which is the birthright of an Ameri
can citizen.
Responsibility on Men.
"We. therefore, appeal to youlgentle
men vested with the power to so large
ly shape conditions, to confer with us
and influence public opinion to adopt
woman suffrage through State action.
Failing to accomplish this, the onus
of responsibility will rest upon the
I men of the South, if Southern women
I are forced to support a national
I amendment, weighted with the same
l objections as the Fifteenth Amend
ment.

We Want Mrs. Pankhurst to Come to Atlanta
And Tell of the Cause., Declares Georgia Leader
IN the interest of truth and fairness Mrs. Pankhurst should
be invited to Atlanta, if for no other reason. Suffragists of
Atlanta are eager to see Mrs. Pankhurst and to hear her
tell the people of this city the story of her work and of her
struggles, and of her ideals. They are eager to hear the truth
of the attempt in England to get the ballot. We do not hear
the truth in this country. There are always tidings unfavor

Commissioner of Agriculture Price
Inaugurates Campaign for
Wholesome Supply in City.
Pur®-milk “don’tc ar® b® ng i i» J
by James D Price, Ge.irgi • Con•tni»-
sioner of Agriculture, in the effort in
obtain a generally safe and whole
some milk supply. The first promul
gation by the department is a bulletin
of instruction to dealers and producer*
who thus, it is announced, may be
kept from violation of the law
Much of the bulletin < < niaim tech
nical information, lelative to percent
age of fat. bacteria count and tem
perature. But much of it. on the other
hand, is a direct, plainly intelligible
warning against careless handling,
filth and uncovered vessels
The moot emphatic “don’t” of all
concerns visible cleanliness of milk.
"Don’t allow ‘slight dirt.’ Milk
should always be kept dean.” states
the bulletin. “In reports from the
State laboratory, the report of 'slight
dirt’ is not infrequent. If this report
of slight dirt’ conies back constantly
it indicates carelessness. Al! dirt can
not be strained from milk, and the
only remedy is to prevent tin dirt
from getting into the milk rather than
trying to remove it.”
The danger arising from bacteria in
milk is emphasized, and attention is
•‘ailed to the fact that typhoid fever,
tuberculosis, diphtheria. scarlet fever
and other dangerous diseases are in
many instances traced to impure milk.
“A high bacterial count will be
found if the milk has become badly
contaminated with fi’th, if it is kept
too warm, and if it is too old.” states
the bulletin. “A high bacterial count J
therefore, indicates either excessive
temperature, ex< e sive contamination
or excessive age. or a combination of
these factors If the bacterial count
is high, persistently so. it indicates
that something is wrong.
“Apart from temperature, unsterll- '
Ized milk vessels are probaldy the
greatest factor in producing a high
count. If the dairyman has no live
steam at hand, he should do as well
as he can with hot water, and should
take occasion as frequently as possi
ble to get his milk vessels sterilized.
“The legal standard of fat in this
State i 5.3.25 per cent. If the farmer
has cows that give a poorer grade I
than 3.25 per cent, he should get rid ;
of them at once, since they are un- :
profitable."
It is likely that other bulletins on i
this subject will be issued, in a sort
of series. Subsequent messages will
’be directed to consumers of milk.

IIHHE PHILIPPINES
Revelation of Sale of Humans on
Islands Leads to Action
in Senate.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 20.—Aboil
tion of slavery in the Philippines will
be urged in a bill under preparation
by Senator Borah, of Idaho.
"The revelation of a human price
list of S3O for children 3 yeaFR old. SGO
for those of 14 and SIOO for adults
needs immediate remedial legisla
tion,” announced Senator Borah to
day. "I shall introduce a bill which
will aim to wipe out slavery of every
kind in the Philippines in the near fu
ture
■ There is no need for an investiga
tion of these conditions. Time should
not be wasted In such proceedings.
The report of Auditor Phipps proves
conclusively that slavery exists.”
The startling disclosures of the re
port of W. 11. Phipps, auditor of the
Philippines, filed to-day, moved other
members of Congress and Govern
ment officials to predict speedy action
on any legislation drafted to abolish
slavery in the Philippines.
Senator Borah stated that he would
introduce his bill at the present ses
sion of Congress and urge its passage
immediately. Failing in this, efforts
will be made to push the measure to
enactment early in the regular session
of Congress in December.
Mr Phipps, in his report to the War
Department, says:
"The universal reports made to me
by ea- h person who had been asked to
investigate was that slavery in some
form exists to his personal knowledge,
and that it might be stated thnt the
. practice is universal in the Philip
’ pines.”
Phipps charges that Filipino women
'[are sold to Chinese as wives; that it
i is i common practice for the Negrito
J Filipinos and the hill classes genor
| ally to sell girls into slavery, and that
j the excuse offered is that these slave
J boys and girls are “adopted” into the
families of their masters.
( hie of the inspectors reported to
Phipps "that everj Negrito servant io
his district had been bought; that the
purchase was made when the slave
was very young, and that many of
such slaves were extremely old.”
It is asserted in the report that the
j price for a child « r a girl ranges from
■ 60 pesos (about S3O) up to SSO.
