THE WEATHER . .Washington, P. FnririiM: Ofor kia and Month niYolliia: Cloudy Sunday, Monday fair, moderate to hrlak west wind. HARDWICK FOR THE SENATE. The formal announcement of Congressman Hardwick , for the United States Senate is printed elsewhere in The Herald today and deserves the careful attention of the voters of Georgia. It is a dignified statement, carefully prepared, and states succinctly the grounds on which the congressman is asking the support of the Democratic voters of the State. It is an appeal to the sound judgment of the voters to pass upon the merits of his candidacy. It makes no ap peal to partisianship or class prejudice. The Herald knows of no man in public life who has rendered Georgia and her people more devoted, able or conscientious service than Congressman Hardwick. His field of usefulness will be further extended if Georgia sends him to the Senate, and The Herald hopes the Dem ocrats of the State will do so in the coming primary. THE CITY ADMINISTRATION The voters and taxpayers of Augusta are very much in earnest in their demands that the city live well within its income, cut down appropriations, and pay up the large floating debt of the city. This is the time to practice economy in the city administration as well as preach it. With the city council asking the voters of the city to vote another bond issue of three-quarters of a million to finish the levee, it is high time for the city council itself to show the way of living well within its income. Other wise, we doubt very much if the citizens and taxpayers will vote the bonds until they are assured of an adminis tration that will put the city on a business basis as to its expenditures and income. WORKS THAT COUNT •*W« pled*** ourselves to une our united strength to make better tinmen, better schools, better surroundings, better scholarship, and better three: to work totether for civic health and civic righteousness; to pre serve our heritage -the foreeta, and natural beauties of the land: to pro cure for our children an education which flta them for life—the training of the hand and the heart ua well ae the head; to protect the children rot cur own. who are deprived of the birthright of natural childhood; to ob tain right conditions and proper safeguards for the women who toll." The above is the inspiring pledge of federation to which the club women of Dallas, Texas, subscribe. It is not surprising that an organization led by such ideals and pledges to such high purposes has met with remarkable success in its undertakings. Would that something of the same splendid spirit of progress and patriotism fired the voting citizens of every community in the country. The municipal family of Dallas, Texas, has dem onstrated that the city fathers can ask for no better guardians of their affairs than conscientious, hard-work ing and high-minded club women. We hear a great deal about the clamor of women for equal suffrage, but it is not until we contemplate the serious achievement of Women in their club works that we can feel that the demand for the ballot by women is justifiable. The average woman who talks suffrage and walks suffrage—in the parades, concerns herself quite as lightly about the great public interests of her day as the average man. There is no need to increase the listless and indifferent vote, which is already a heavy handicap to progress, but there is a great need in every community in the country for the sort of patriotism which these good club women are showing us. Space docs not permit a full enumeration of the achievements of the club women in Dallas—which, though extraodinary, is no more extraordinary then those of club women in larger and older cities; but what these women have done in Dallas comes to us with greater emphasis and closer interest for the reason that it is the work of Southern women and for a Southern city. This band of women first undertook to establish a public library and an exhibition of art works, opened to the public. They laid the foundation of their work in first Skee—Mm.

The education necessary to insure the success of their undertakings was accomplished to the degree that has crowned with success such needed movements as a juvenile court law for State and city, a probation system of hand ling delinquent children, pure food laws and appointment of city chemists, anti-spitting ordinances, laws requiring the screening of foods exposed for esale, regulations pre venting girls and boys receiving general delivery letters in discriminately, and as long as 1902 the agitation of child labor and compulsory education laws. Besides these things they have managed to equip Trinity Play Park with free baths, a circulating library and a moving picture show. The playground confmittee has worked with such good effect that the park board of the city is now establishing a system of parks and play grounds which will be placed in every square mile of the city. The Free Kindergarten Association, another wing of the club, maintains three free kindergartens and one day nursery for the children of working women. The Garden Association has wrought wonders in removing the unsight ly and neglected spots of the city and developing the cus tom of decorative planting. These are only a few of the accomplishments of the woman's club of Dallas, but they are enough to leave us deeply impressed with the value of such an organization to a town. Our Augusta women have entered upon club work with the same general aims. Let us give them our heartiest support and encouragement. Such works and in fluences are inestimable in their value. We commend the pledge of these women to Augusta's citizens of both sexes. We would spread the wholesome contagion of it’s principles if we could. Closer Co-Ordination Plan of the Associated Charities is Meeting With Fine Success City and County Have Agreed to Co-operate. To Have Meet ing on Monday Night at Offices of the M. & M. Associa tion. For several yearn the fart ha* barn borne In upon many Interested In char itable work In the city of Augusta that there needed to be a closer co ordination of the existing charities for the sake of efficiency. There ha* been too much duplication, too many de mand* for support and too great In dependence of the existing charities to accomplish the desired results. The sentiment behind all the organizations teas of the very highest but the meth od* under the circumstances could not be the most effective. No one or ganization knew what the others were doing and doubtless there were many caaes of pauperizing citizens uninten tionally. The calls for support have become so numerous that citizens felt there must be some more modern method of handling the situation than has been In practise. This feeling crys tallzed Itself at a meeting of many representative citizens at a mass meet ing held In December, when a special committee was appointed to Investi gate the charity methods of the com munity and report a more efficient method of handling and dispensing gifts. County and City Combine. That committee has now made Its report to these Interested citizens but Guarantee Shoe Co. Receives Carload Shipment of Spring Footwear IMMENSE SHIPMENT OF NEW SPRING STYLES PUT ON DISPLAY SATURDAY One of the most attractive shoe stocks in Augusta is that of the Guar antee Shoe Company, corner Broad and Tenth street*. They have Just received and put in stock «k solid car load of new spring style shoes from the Craddock Terry Shoe Coinpahy of Lynchburg, Virginia. They represent the latest style* In the shoe world, are fresh and clean looking and will no doubt be quickly disbursed among the many friends and patrons of this l(ye, popular concern. The Guarantee Shoe Company, while having opened for business less than a year ago, have already built up on* of "the largest shoe trades In the rlty.

GA. a* It Involved the co-operation of the council and the board of county com missioners its success could not be as sured until favorable action by these two bodies. That has now been se cured during the past week and the full report will be submitted to a larger meeting to be held on Tues day night, when it is thought steps will be taken to place the plan for adoption before al. the charity organi zations of the city. When the objects of the new organization are under stood It Is tl ought there will he no difficulty in securing the hearty co operation of all the charity organi zations In the city. The movement does not contemplate curtailing In any way the good that Is being done or usurping the control of the organiza tions now In existence but it does pro pose a closer co-ordination of all for the sake of larger efficiency and di minishing the number of call's made upon the merchants and citizens gen erally. The plan is modern, sane and effective and doubtless will appeal to that large class of charitably disposed citizens which wishes to place the ma jor part of Its general charities Into the hands of some effective and com petent organization with the assur ance that such funds will be wisely and capably administered. slogans: “From Maker to Wearer”—• “Better Shoes for Money” and "Your Money's Worth or Your Money Back,” have been most favorably re ceived here, and the fart that the bus iness lias shown such a large and steadV Increase, is evidence of the sound foundation upon which It is built. The store Is under the management of Mr. C A Nickerson, whoso genial disposition and readiness to oblige, added to hts knowledge of shoes, has won hundreds of staunch friends and customers. Those who are looking for the latest authentic styles in popular priced shoes will do well to Inspect the at tractive offerings at this store.
