Press Opinions On Bryan And Suffrage.
Appreciating the value of the
support of the Southern news¬
papers the woman suffragists are
glad to quote editorials such as the
one appearing in the Louisiana
Democrat of Alexandria. In re¬
ference to the vote the Democrat
charges women : Seep out from
behind the prejudice which has
hedged you in for years, and work
with voice, pen and ballot for the
children and your neighbor's child¬
ren. Vote must be answered by
votes, for it is votes that count.The
ballot of a dissolute rake must be
conteracted by the ballot of aChris
tian mother if we would protect
our daughters from legal ruina¬
tion.”
Secretary W. J. Bryan’s endorse¬
ment of Woman suffrage has elicit¬
ed much favorable comment from
leading publications of the South_
The Houston Texas Chronicle says :
“Most of us believed that it was
a question of time until lie would
arrive at such a conclusion, for
whatever else may be said of him,
Mr. Bryan is a just man. The
wonder is why he should have de¬
layed so long. All the elements of
his nature must have espoused the
cause, and his good sense must
have led him to understand that it
(woman suffrage) was on the win¬
ning draft,—The Chronicle is
much mistaken,if other administra¬
tion leaders,the president included,
are not likely to be guided by his
example.”
In refuting the criticism of a
contemporary the Metropolis,
Miami, Fla., vigorously upholds
Air. Bryan’s position in an editor
al : “It is a questing that every
man must fa®. *Jjtfd n cause in
which eV<$!j«i ^ must take sides—
the time has come when the dodger
^tan no longer hold the respect of
honest men. As upon many an¬
other important subject, Mr. Bryan
states his views very simply—‘but
.now that the issue is presented in
my T state, 1 take my position’ he
says, ‘1 shall support the amend,
ment. I shall ask no political
rights for myself that I am not will¬
ing to grant rny wife.’ Farther on
in his article in the July Common¬
er he goes into the. question in a
clear, convincing way and again lie
has taken a step higher in the ad¬
miration of justice-loving people
throughout the country.”
San Francisco women demo¬
crats have started a daily news¬
paper, to serve the interests of the
Democratic Party in California,
The paper will be owned, managed
and edited by women.
Several women have passed the
examination for the bar inGeorgia,
but have not been allowed to prac¬
tice.

Wbo And Why?
Who was the woman that, mis¬
construing Miss Gordon’s words
and motives, carried (it may be
with no evil intent) a trouble-mak¬
ing tale? But that of itself could
not have made such an unseemly
and uncalled for stir? Who was
the eaves-dropper that, hiding be¬
hind a screen, heard an innocent
remark that he believed he could
convert into a bit of scandal, and
rolling it under his tongue like a
sweet morsel, he rushed to tlie
newspapers to let it out.
Was the little party with which
he is lined up so jealous of the
glorious achievements of a woman
whom Northerners have called the
Jane Addams of the South, that
lie could no longer hold in? For
who can deny that Kate Gordon’s
sympathies have been more widely
extended in the world of effort and
achievement, have reached deeper
and farther than any other woman
in the Slate.
And the Item? Is it willing to
trail its journalistic robes in the
dust that it may keep its alliance
with the jealous party? Greedily
grasping the eaves-dropper’s tattle
the Item, infusing evil into words
that were never meant unkindly,
has with scorn, contempt and con¬
tumely, heralded its own cruel con¬
struction from the house top.
Where is your sincerity, oil Item,
you who profess to believe in and
uphold the case of woman suffrage?
What strange advocacy is this
which maligns its famous and de¬
voted leaders? For a uRssiqt ] po^

Sorrow and
Item, for your
in history as the Judas%
who supped at the Woman's Suff¬
rage table and then went out and
for less, perhaps, than thirty pieces
of silver, betrayed the cause you
professed to love.

Food Crops Conference To
Meet October 5 and 6.
, With the problem of holding the
cotton in process of settle
ment, the attention of the people
■ >4 the South, and particularly of
tfie Southern farmers, should turn
the problem next in magnitude_
of rising enough to eat for
coming year,
. Foreseeing the hardships that the
vyiil suffer with decreased
for cotton and a lower
prieft llptn in years unless every
isffmade self-sustaining, the
Georgia : Chamber ....... of. Commerce is
. the Southeastern
Food
fcrops Conference to meet in At
anta, October 5 and 6.
The Commissioner of Agricul
Hu re* of Georgia will invite the com¬
missioners of agriculture of the
’’Huntheastern cotton states to ap¬
point delegates. The purpose of
this conference is to prepare plans
by which state-wide organizations
will be formed to pledge the far¬
mers of every county to raise
enough foodstuffs for their needs
[and, if possible, a surplus to sell,
i and to encourage and aid the far¬
I mers 11 in carryiiw out tlie pla'n.
The Georgia Chamber of Com¬
merce has been engaged for months
hi a campaign for the production
of more foodstuffs and feedstuff’s in
Georgia, At this conference, the
work of organizing Georgia will be
perfected, and the delegates from
neighboring states will prepare
plans for systematic work in their
own srtit.es to be initiated on their
return home.
Only by energetic and compre¬
hensive efforts can tiie South be
prevented from feeling much of the
4.rival ion usually incident to an,
actual state oi war, but it is Confi¬
dently believed that the result of
this conference will be an increase
of foodstuffs and feedstuff’s in/ the
South that will prevent all actual
wants and probably turn threaten¬
ed disaster into a blessing.

SUCCESSFUL M
RUSSELL SAGE.
Sage was one of a family of six, and at
the age of fifteen was working In a
Grocery Store at $4.00 per month. By
careful saving and business judgment in
early life, he accumulated enough money
to embark in the Wholesale Grocery
Business with a man named Bates, and
ill live years bought him out paying
$150,000.
At tlio age of twenty-eight. Sage first
Showed his remarkable ability as a
speculator. Several barges conveying
Wheat by way of the Brie Canal to New
York wore frozen in tiie ice by early
cold weather. Rather than lose all, as
they thought, the owners sold out to
young Sage at a great reduction. The
next day there came a thaw, and the
wheat went to market bringing the
young speculator a protit of $E>o,u00.
Soon afterward Sage sold out his
wholesale business, and went to New
York, and began speculating in stocks
amt ilia wonderful success is world¬
wide knowledge.
Ho died leaving a fortune of over 110 U,
000 , 000 .
Speculation
Where one man gets riches through hazardous speculation, a hundred
become poor. Where one man stays poor through slow method of sav¬
ing, a hundred get richer. Russel Sage says:
“Speculation Ruins More Men Than Any Other Business"
