when Kipling wrote “The female
the species "is more deadly than
- male,” wittingly or unwittingly,
e cast the most universal vote for
equal suffrage that has, ever been
polled, for it is that.veny, cry of their
oitspring and their needs thitis mak-.

s fighting, and fight' for the “best
laws, present and future, 4n the in
serest of her children.
Mrs, Grenfell,"called the best citizen
fn Colorado (Colorado, has had.equal
euffrage, with the:most:beneficial re
gults, for twenty years), ‘says:
“The opponents of . equal suffrage
pever tire of declating that'woman's
place is in the home. T agree ‘with,
them most heartily. It is because of
the home that I want women to have
the vote. The State is so much the
cver-parent to-ddy that I “can not
100 k after my home without the vote:
Law Prescribes Everything. |
“The law says when the child shall}
go to school, what books it shall}
study, what food it shall. eat,) what

car fare it shall pay, when it shall
be vaccinated or given serums; pun
fshes the child with truant officers,
iruant schools, juvenile courts, and
te]ls when it may quit school and
«when it may 'go to work, It is
through franchises gained by the bal
lot that 1 am told what to pay for
mv water, my gas, my electric light,
my telephone; it is by the vote that
liquor questions are decided and ordi
vances adopted for the regulation of
morals.” e 4 ¥ Ly
\ire, Grenfell goes on to tell of the
yecent return to licensed prostitution
in Kansas City, Mo., and of an ordi
nance prohibiting. ..saloops = near
churches and® schools overruled by
the Alderman who was the most no
torious saloon keeper in that city.
Does this give women the full protec

School Training Refused.
A mill-owner showed me last spring
2 splendid school building situated in

sadly, “The children are not allowed
to work in the mill, and. yet, with
every possible facllity for learning
right at their doors, a school that
incorporates domestic science, man
val training or any other need of
children, only 50 per cent of them can

%CALLS BAR .TO SEX EQUALITY
& 2 b By L. R. GEISSLER.
é S Prf)j'e:sorvof Psychology at the University of Georgia.
" Every year brings new scientific evidences that social and
“political sex distinetions are artificial and arbitrary. The only
difference which nature recognizes is that of racial reproduction,
‘and from this standpoint women are bound to acquire more and
more influence in determining the future of the human race,
since it is their natural desire to give their offspring an environ:
ment in which the struggle for existence is reduced to a mini
mum, and in which the possibilities for favorable development
are increased to a maximum.
- For that reason woman s natural tendeney is to look ahead
into the far future, while man is more readily satisfied with
things as they are, especially if they suit his selfish purposes.
' At present woman'’s natural farsightedness is dwarfed and
discouraged by all kinds of restrictions. But the most pressing
need in Georgia right now is such unselfish, racial farsighted
3, ness and preparation for changes that are bound to come. Equal
suffrage is one of these changes, and woman’s entry into politi
cal and social equality will stimulate to highest exertion her
natural desire and effort to give our future generations the
best possible chaneces for progress.
? Therefore the sooner we break down the artificial and
&arbitrary lines of sex inequality, the sooner will our State as a
whole profit by utilizing woman’s farsightedness as well as by
2 making her a more efficient. member of our Cothmonwealth,
the higher ideal of the public con
science, are:
What Colorado Has Done.
State home for dependent children.
Mother joint guardian of child with
father,
Age of protection of girls to 18
years,
State industrial school for girls.
“Factory inspection law.
“Honor-andtrust” system evoived
from the creation of indeterminate
sentence,
One woman physician on State Asy
lum Board.
Provision for inspection of materni
ty homes and lying-in hospitals con
ducted by private persons, etc.
All these were from 1893 to 1900.
From 1900 to 1910: .
Juvenile court system,
Drastic compulsory education law.
Child Labor Law Enacted.
_ .Child labor.law taking children un
der 14 years of age out of factories,
stores and mines, and forbidding the
employment of those under 16 years
in unhealthful or dangerous'trades.
Father and mother joint heirs of
deceased child.
Providing penalties for failure to
support aged or infirm parents.
A traveling library commission,
consisting of five women for the pur
pose of seeing that books reach the
most remote mountain camp and prai
rie huts.
Criminal offense to contribute to
the delinquency of a child.
Local option law.
Establishment of a State free em
ployment bureau, with offices in all
principal cities and towns.
Political Machine Smashed.
And just here the pelitical machine
was broken up, { In two years com
mission government was put in and
the non-partisan candidates were
elected: by 10,000 more votes than the
combined totals of the Democratic
and Republican parties. Following
this ‘are many other good measures,
among them the headless ballot.
All these foregoing are so-called
women’s laws. Of course, woman’s
‘weak point, when it comes to the
workaday world, is her inability to
co-operate and her lack of organi
zation; and yet, just here is where
the organization she has fathered has
made good. In these ten States—
Wyoming (equal suffrage 1869), Col
orado, Utah, Idaho, Washington, Cal
ifornia, Oregon, Kansas, Arizona, Il
linois and the Territory of Alaska—
the procedure is about the same.

THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. .
ble number of unpald lobbyists attend
every meeting of the Legislature and
pass the word on as to the outcome of
the bills discussed beforehand. If
the women of the State feel that
proper attention is withheld on their
bills, they begin to fight—fighting,
please remember, always for their
children and for the present ‘and fu
ture condition of their parent State.
There is no other incentive,
There seems to be, among all these
States, no report of insult to women
at the polls that is the continual fear
of our men/ If in the West, where
camaraderie exists between the sexes,
voting women are respected and held
in all sincerity, surely our own South
ern men would be last to let us suf
fer from such ignominy,
As for seeking office, that other
bugaboo, it is the last thing sought
for, according to this notable demon
stration.
It is not political aspiration, it is
not selfish aim; it is, oh, never pet
tiness, never graft.

A medicine for Throat and Lung Troubles
which , has been thoroughly tested for many
years, and which has been instrumental in
restorifg complete health to a large number of
sufferers, should be thoroughly investigated by ;
everybne. While no undue clalms are made
for it, nor any guarantee that its use will
restore health, Eckman's Alterative has been
given the full credit in saving lives in many ¢!
cases. Read this case:— ‘
Wilmington, Del.
“‘Gentlemen—ln January, 1908, I was taken
g with hemorrhages of the lungs. My physician,
one of the leading practitioners of Wilmington,
Del., said that it was lung trouble. I took eggs
and milk in quantities, but } got very weak.
Mr. €. A. Lippincott, of Lippincott & Co.,
Department Store, 306 to 314 Market street,
Wiimington, Del., recommended to me Eck

with three elements—food, clothing and

— 90 per cent of this necessary ex

the money to better advantage than
could man.
— That woman can so satisfactorily
finance the home argues for a much
greater capacity.
— In financing one’s disbursements,
many capable women find Rich’s adver
tisements a daily help. One alert to her
opportunities often accomplishes rare
savings. To-day’s advertisement is a
