lates directly to the safety of human
life, and as I have said, women as
a rule, show unusual zeal in such
work. :
Believer in Woman Suffrage.
T find that a great deal has. been
said of the appointments 1 have made
from the standpoint of woman suf
frage. Of course, it is unnecessary
for me to say that I made these ap
pointments without any reference to
their bearing upon this question. 1
made them because I believe the work
these women are to do is peculiarly
the kind of work which women can
do well,
However, if these appointmens, ex
cellent as they are in themselves shall
incidentally help the cause of woman
suffrage, I have no objection what
ever, for 1 have always been a firm
believer in woman suffrage, both on
the grounds of morals and democ
racy.

Papering, Painting & Decorating
Increase the value of your property and insure an
air of prosperity by painting your home. It’s a good
investment. >
Maybe the home does not need painting on the out
side, but at a small eost you ean change the inside—the
place where you live—by having some decorating or
papering done.
In any instanee, let us visit your home and make
suggestions.s The cost of any or all of these will not be
anything like what you would suppose.

JUFFRAGE. FINDS
FERTILE FIELD
IN GEORGIR
By JOSEPH JOHNSON.
(Recent Tammany Campaign Man
ager, of New York. ;
Suffrage for women is likely (O,
grow faster in Georgia than in any
other Southern State. Georgla, I
think, is the most progressive of the
Southern sisterhood. |
The whole difficulty lies in the early‘l
stages of this crusade. Once women
are habited to vote, prejudice’ agalnst
suffrage disappears forever. The fears
of men vanish, for they realize that
the talk of woman suffrage btpikln[
Lp the home is buncombe in-view of
the fact that each man occupies about.
four minutes a year in voting. e
Women and men will think under
equal suffrage as they do now. The
standards of right and wrong among
the members of any famfily are about
the same, and family rows over po
litical isgues are not apt to be nearly
es frequent 38 over domestic prob
lems; yet families hold together de-‘
gpite their inevitable quarrels. -
Of Finer Fiber.
We place women above ourselves in
the moral scale. We know they are
of finer fiber., We say, whenever we
speak truly of them, that they are
purer and better than men. We look
to them to impart all the virtues to
cur children, We get them high up
in the moral world.
Then how dare we say they should
not, as our moral guardians, pass up
on public moral guestions, for every
political gquestion is at bottom a mor
al question?
Shall we say that a woman is re
gsponsible for the character of her son
and daughter, but deny her a voice
upon public questions vital to her off
spring ?
Is she to guide the eéducation of
yvouth; nurse the sick; wait ugon us
in the stores; sew for us; cook for us;
write our letters for us, and yet have
no public voice upon schools, hespi
tals, stores, food, clothing or the
terms of work?
Must She Be Silent?
1f she believes her sons and daugh.
ters are being ruined by some eondi
tion of the neighborhood, must she
preserve silence, or leave it to those
who have already acquiesced in the
harmful condition?
Shall she be capable of teaching

By MRS STANLEY M'CORMICK,
(Treasurer, National American Wom

I am a suffragist becauge I bo
lleve that there {s no reason why the
opportunities for women should be
more restricted and circumseribed
than those for men; because 1 belleve
it is every woman's duty to see that
all women have open to them such op
portunities, advantages and privilegos
as are available to men and that they
are unimpeded save by their own in
ner limitations,
The “ limitations of women have
been great in the past. Whoever has
studied this past may appreciate how
difficult it has been for them to free
themselves from their most severe
disqualifications while living the in
tensely pergonal, elementally-—emo
tionatly and educationally—restricted
life which has been their lot. But now
that their abilities are developed by
a broader education, by a freer par
ticipation in the world of impersonal
affairs and by that great emancipator,
economic independence, these limita
tions are lessening every year,
In the life history of women the
impersonal occupations, such as ed
ucation and the vocational and pro
fessional pursuits, have been forbiid
den fruit. But that pericd of our
dark middle ages is over. Though
there are many “standpatters” to-day,
few would be willing to retreat on the
path of development to the condi
tions of a century ago. The ballot is
but he last of the three great mile
stones on thig road—education, eco-
