CANDIDATES FOR THE LEGISLA TURE. There in a pretty big field of can didates to pick from this year in the legislative race from this county. There are some seven candidates In the field to fill the three places. Why not apply the Commission Government platform to the legisla tive race? More voters in thlß coun ty are interested in Augusta securing a Commission Komi of Government than any other issue. Last year Com mission Government for Augusta was defeated In the legislature after it had won an overwhelming victory at the polls. The year before, the Commission Charter was defeated at the polls by a mere handful of voles. During the two campaigns for Commission Gov ernment practically every side of the Issue lias been threshed out before the people. The voters are thorough ly familiar with the principles of Commission Government. It Is undoubtedly true that a nreat majority oT the voters of Augusta are In favor of the New Rule—the rule of the people in I lie management of city affairs. When the legislative candidates begin to ask you for your vote, ASK THEM FOR THEIR VOTE FOR COMMISSION GOVERNMENT. Augusta ought to secure Its Com mission Charter this summer from the legislature. EMANCIPATING THE MEN. The season lias again rolled around In which the dlxcusainn of the starched collar and the etiquette of coats and costlessness come up for discussion. The manner in which men dress In the hot days of summer Is a subject which makes Its appeal to the hu mane, yet the chances which are now belnc promised do not emanate from the aociety for the prevention of oru ol)-S to animals. Paris has attain seen its opportunity to Issue its fsshlon command and Par la |a learning that It will he obeyed whenever its commands accord with the wishes and longings of suffering humanity. Anatola Francs, one of the prominent literary men of l’arls, has entered upon a career as s moulder of fashion and Is leading a determined fight against the stiff-starched col lar, which civilised man lias worn since the first days of his departure from the Jungle. Anatoie France be llevea that we are at a stage of prof resa now which calls for the aboli tion of the high white fence about the neck. He denounce* "the stiffening of linen by mean* of starch" as one of the last relics of barbarism, and has issued a declaration of independence against this galling tyranny. A league for the abolition of the stiff collar has been started with headquarters In Pans, and thousands of artist*, students, literary tnen and bohemians are discarding the starched collar for more sane and more graceful effects, of the Byronlc order, with open throat. The movement is receiving serious commendation and has not a* yet been obstructed by the claim that any dis respect for women Is Involved In the variation. Man's feeble efforts to ex tricate himself from the thraldom of uncomfortable and unwholesome wear ing apparel have heretofore been thwarted by the fear that such changes would constitute a breach of chivalry, but the women themselves, as they reach out for fuller powers, are losing Interest tn keeping up these small tor tures The low collar, the lsce collar, the V-neck, If necessary perhaps In time even the absence of the coat— will be tolerated now, as an exchange for further feminine emancipation, A contemporary earnestly asks: Why should men be required to wear a ring around their neck, as If they were galley-slHves? Stiff collars are not only dreadfully un comfortable, but they actually have had a bad effect on the health, by cutting off (he circula tion of the blood at the neck. Not Infrequently men are actually ■trangled to death while taking a nap wearing a tight collar. "Live and l<el Live," is the slogan of the time*. tjlve the women liberty and the) will not inalat on giving ua death. ill '¥[ i|| zzzs iwu'l 111 II vM SdA* THfe V J ifp, I THE WA YS OF THRIFT Copyrighted, 1914, American Society for Thrift. SCOTCH THRIFT AND AMERICAN BUSINESS PRINCIPLES. Hir Thomas l.lpton, who is well known in this country as the interna tional cup challenger of Shamrock fame as a successful merchant, began his business career 1n New York City at the age of fifteen. There was a time when he lived on a few cent* a day, and had to borrow five cents to send a letter to the old folks In Glasgow. When later his father offered to set hi in up In a small grocery store in Glasgow, lie made thrifty application of all his observations In America. Sir Thomas willingly admitted that hia admiration and use of American business methods, coupled with his Scotch thrift, were the secret of his financial success. He did not love money for Its own sake, but he knew its value, and every dollar he made he saved. Ho let no opportunity escape that could possible serve him, as la Illustrated by the way he caused the misfortune ot a terrific storm off the African coast to do advertising duty. He was In danger of ship wreck. Before throwing the eases of tea overboard, which was necessary In order to lighten the steamer, he had the words “Llpton's Tea” painted on them in big black letters, thinking they might be picked up by some one who had never heard of htß tea. The ship was saved and the cases of tea cast overboard brought the merchant new business. Thia man, who later became the owner of four hurdred and twenty stores, sixty of which were located in London; warehouses all over Asia; thousands of acres of land In the Island of Ceylon, where he grew tea, Coffee and cocoa; a large packing house in Chicago, and having over ten thousand employes in all parts of the world, gives the following recipe for prosperity: "The practice of thrift In all its phases and, principally, thrift as ap plied to saving. Saving Is the first great principle of all success. It cre ates independence; it gives a young man standing; it fills him with vigor; In fact, It brings to him the best part of any success, happlnes and content ment. if It were possible to inject the quality of saving into every boy, we would have a great many friend*, but he will find none so steadfast, so con stant. so capable of pushing him ahead, as a little leather-covered book with the name of a bank on Its coyer.” TO THE CLERGY OF THE UNITED STATES. A Letter From the Secretary of the Church Peace Union.
