LITTLE JOE TO RUN AGAINST
HOKE SMITH.
Augusta politician* arc about equal
ly divided In their allegiance to Hoke
Smith and Little Joe. It'* alway* been
nip and tuck In ltd* good county of
Richmond.
It tonka like It la going to be a
■How-down again tlila year between
I .Ittie Joe and Hoke Smith. Both
aides among the leader* admit It. No
one wants to be quoted. Hut the fact
remain*. I.title Joe's frlendH tiave been
to see the ex-governor and they are
not denying the possibility of hi* mak
ing tlie race against hi* ancient en
emy—Senator lloke Smith.
They declare they have not urged it,
but it hey don’t seem to be particularly
worried over the prospect and un
doubtedly when the announcement i»
made they are going to shout and t«
work and to. vote for Little Joe until
the last ballot i* counted.
On the other hand, the Hoke Smith
men are Just about a* numerous and
are more confident of Senator Smith*
ectton. They point to bit- aplen
did record In the senate a record of
broad, national, patriotic service and
this city and county,
again will defeat Senator Smith for
*ny office They declare that Little
Joe ts fooling himself and Ids friend*
in hla backing and filling, that he can't
win this raco by trying to take snap
Judgment on the people at the last
minute. (They sav Little Joe ba* gone
back to the farm this tbnc for good
The people applaud hla choice amt wilt
uphold him In It.
So here's tile (lope—take or leave It:
Little Joe will announce against Hoke
Smith the last SO day* before the pri
mary. Hl* friends »ny he will win.
Hoke Smith's friends say the senator
will tie re-elected overwhelmingly.
How do you stand on the subject?
THE LEGISLATIVE RACE—WHAT
ARE THE ISSUES?
There sre four or five good clttsena
m the legislative race from this coun
ty. Unfortunately only three can be
el ended. Who are you going to vote
for? Why are you going to vote for
auy particular three when all five arc
good citizens and prominent and pat
riotic and Huccesstul business men of
this city and county.
The truth of the matter Is Augusta
and Richmond county take politic* too
personally. Vote* ate asked for pure
ly personal reasons, for political rea
sons. for family reusons. roll tic*
Hcetns to be * purely private matter.
What does the average voter —what
does the community—what does the
county—what doe* the tnxpaxer get
out of such a state of affair*'.’ \\ h>
not vote for t**ues rather than tor
personalities and prejudices? Why
not vote for a delegation who will do
things for Augusta and Richmond
county rather than for the first" good
fellow who asks you for peraoual or
political reason* to vote for hint be
■ ause he wants to go to the legisla
ture.
Why not ask him what he wants
to go to the legislature (or? Aak him
what he 1* going to do for the people
of Augusta amt Richmond niounty
when he gets to the legislature be
sides drawing M 00 a day and mileage
The time ts coming wrhen candidate*
will run for office on a platform of
Issues that appeal* to the people |n
r-ead of their ability to shake bands
and ask for votes When a candidate
asks you for your vote ask him for
bl* vote for commission government,
or for any other public matter that
you are Interested It. Why should
you vote for him personally when he
Is against the things that mean most
to you as a citizen and taxpayer? We
stress the commission government
platform only Incidentally there arc
a dozen vital Isauea In which tbs
voter* of Augusta nnd Richmond
county are interested, hut the chances
are you don’t know and nev« r will
know how- the leglalatlve candidates
stand on these issue*. They want your
votg. but you'll never get their vote on
these Issues.
Personally, The Herald would rather
see an issue win than an Individual -
something that means something for
the good of Augusta and Richmond
county. It's one thing to elect a good
follow to the legislature, the most
popular man and the best handshaker
and hustler. Rut what do Augusta
and Richmond county get out of It?
Wouldn't It be cheaper to put through
a public spirited, patriotic program
and donate the honors and emolu
ments to all the candidates?
SUFFRAGE BATTLEFIELD IN
WEST
Jn Nebraska, Montana, .Nevada,
I North and youth Dakota, a woman
suffragement will be submitted to the
I electors in November. Montana seems
I to he in particular danger of grant
| Ing the franchise to women if one
| may judge by anti-suffrage activities.
Miss Minnie Bronson and Miss Clara
Markeson are already there, and Miss
Marjorie Dorman, secretary of the
Wage Earners' Anti-Huff rage league,
left New York a few days ago to “Have
Montana." She wore a khaki riding
Hu it and carried a waddle-bag full of
literature for the miners. ‘’General"
Rosalie Jones and “Colonel*/ Ida Craft
will follow her trail closely «o that
they may crystallize the suffrage sen
timent always aroused by anti
speeches.
There Is a rumor that one of the
most powerful business interests of
Montana—of the whole country sh
fact—is opposing woman suffrage and
that the wib* of one of its officials
recently spent, the afternoon irA a taxi
cab calling on the wives of the com
pany's employes and urging them to
join the anti-suffrage association.
Miss Jeannette Rankin, former field
secretary of the National Suffrage As
sociation, is president of the Montana
Suffrage Association and has been
doing wonder!ul work in the organi
zation of that. state. Miss Jane
Thomson, the new field secretary of
tin* national. Is now in Montana and
will divide the summer months among
the campaign states. Dr. Anna How
ard Shaw, president of the National
Association, who is now on her way
home from Home, where site attended
the meeting of the International Coun
cil of Women, will spend August, Sep
tember and October on a speaking tour
through the campaign states.
Among the workers in North Dakota
will be Mr. Melvin Davis Hildreth

ones upon a lime Mine Lucy was
given a new doll. It was a very
pretty one with long light curls
and blue eye*. Lucy loved her
doll very much but she often left
her out of door* all night or In
a chair, arid once her grandpa had
sal down on Adele (that waa the
doll's name) and almost broken
her Into piece*
(me day I.ui-y's mother told her
that her little cousin Caroline waa
coming to visit her. She told her
I hut she must he very nice and let
her play with her dolls and other play
thing*. Lucy waa very glad that
coualn wbm coming to »ee her for
didn’t have any *i*ters or brothers
to play with and she had alway*
wanted soma one.
Caroline brought her doll, and
11* name was Louise. Adele was
glad to see the new doll and after
their llltle mistresses had gone to
sleep they talked and had a nice
time. Adele asked Caroline if she
wit* ever left out of door* all
night. Caroline was surprised and
said she never heard of anything
like that.
The next day the little girls took
their dolls and two baskets of
lunch and set out for a walk In a
pine grove that was not far
from the house. They gathered
flowers and sat down on the pine
needles to eat their lunch. Roth
the girls said the dolls must he
tired, so th'-\ took them to a nice
cool place and told them tn bnth
behave and go to sleep. When the
girl* hud eaten their lunch they
Haw a red squirrel running up a
tree
"Oh," said Lucy, "let’s see If
we can catch It," so off they chas
ed after the squirrel leaving the
dolls behind
"What did I tell you," said
Adele, “Lucy won’t think about us
and we will he left here all night."
“Oh, no," said Loiliso. “I am sure
my mistress will think of me and
come hack.” They talked and
didn’t nottlee that tt was grtttlng
dark and tHat the wind was blow
ing At last Adele satd: "The
wind Is blowing the pine needles
all over ys. If they do come hack
they will never find it* and I am
so cold. 1 wish we were at home."
"So do I,” said Louise. "J never
Was out so late before.”
Sure enotigu Lucy had forgotten
the dolls and so nad Caroline. They
could not catch the squirrel and so
*o they started for home Lucy's
mother met them at the door and
said: "Hid you have a pleasant
time children? Hut where are
your dolls?” They looked at each
snd they said: "We forgot them,
we put them to sleep." 'Rack they
ran ns fast as they could, but they
couldn’t find the dolls, for the wind
had covered them up with pipe
needles. At Inst Caroline saw a
little pink dress sticking out from
under amound of pine nedles, "Oh
1 think that ts my dear Louise"
she exclaimed. She brushed hack
the needle* and there were both
of the doll* safe and sound. "Just
like the babes tn the woods,” satd
Caroline.
TWO THINGS THAT PREVENT
MATRIMONIAL WRECKS.
In the July American Magauno
a man who bag had twenty-five veers
matrimonial experience nays that he
uml his wife were growing farther
apart and constantly quarreling The
family would have been wrecked had
It not been for two things which lie
describes as follows: .
"First was the baby, a healthy,
charming child to wnom we were in
tensely devoted, lor mouths the babv
was about the only subject we could
agree upon; the other safeguard wag
our sense of humor. 1 have since
thought that no two persons should,
marry unless one or the other has a
sense of humor. With us the sense
of humor usually came to the rescue
at the most trying times One or
the other of tts would be struck with
the ludicrous feature of our quarrel
and laugh and pretty soon we made
up."

PUSSY’S REQUEST.
One day a pussy cat went to a
witch and asked to be given the
power to change herself into a irea
whenever she wished.
The old witca was very fond of cats
and agreed to do as pussy asked,
“But why,’ she asked pussy, “do you
wish to be changed into a tree when
you could as easily be a dog or a
lion?”
“Can you not she the advantage in
being a tree?" replied pussy," the
birds will alight la my branches, and
then all I have to do Is to be a cat
again and catch them.”
As the old witch was not one of the
good witches she did not see any
harm in what pussy intended ot do,
and she told ipus-sy all she had to do
when she wished to become a tree
was to aland on her legs and stretch
her front paws. Puss thanked the
witch and trotted off into the woods.
When the birds saw her they began
to chirp a warning to each other and
to flv into the high branches.
"You can fly away,” said Pussy,
"hut soon you will he sitting close
bestde my waiting paws.”
She chose a shady spot and stood
A flash of lightning was seen
on her hind legs, and there in place
of the pussy cat, stood a tree with
leafy branches.
The unsuspecting birds soon flew
to its cool, shady limbs and one by
one pussy would catch them In some
mysterious way and resume her nat
ural form and then the birds would
disappear.
Pussy was so delighted with this
way of catching birds that she was
very*busy for several days and slept
very little, and the birds were fast
disappearing from the forest.
One morning the old witch went to
the door of her cave and listened:
everything eceiued so still. "What
has happened?” she said; "where is
the robin that xmed to sit on the limn
of the tree and sing to me. and the
bluebird that has a nest in that tree,
too?
"I can see the little ones strstchlng
their necks," said the witch, "but
where Is the mother bird: the babio*
are crying for their breakfast Why
docs she not come and feed them, I
wonder?"
The witch walked Into the forest;
she could hear the cries of the voting
birds on every side, but not a father
or mother bird did she sec.
"What can have happened?" she
jpaid as she hobbled along
Then she thought «f pussy and her
strange request. "That greedy puss
has done all this, 1 she said, "she has
destroyed all the grown up birds and
the little ones are left alone. 1 mast
find her at once, and I will punish
her by changing her Into a mouse
and thpn some cat will catch tier
Rut pussy was far too wise to be
caught that way; she saw the witch
from behind a rock where she was
hilling and changed herself Into a
tree,
The old witch looked through the
forest, but there was no pussy to be

seen and as the trees all looked alike
to her it was impossible to tell
which one covered pussy’s form.
“Something must be fone,” said
th-- old witch. “I must put an end
to this wickedness."
She waved her stick over ner head
and bent very low and then back
ward three times; a flash of light
ning was seen and then a peal of
thunder followed, which made the
earth tremble, and above it all could
he heard the voice of the old witch
saying
‘‘Through, through the woods the
lightning range.
For a hundred years no tree shall
change.”
When all was quiet the old witch
waved her stick again and walked
away, for she knew that puss could
never again resume her natural form
When she was leaving the forest
she called all the owls together and
told them if they would feed all the
young birds in the nests and not
harm them she would give all owls

to Jennie and his first suggestion was
to go to some quiet place and get a

Jennie at first demurred, saying it
was getting so late and she thought
she bad better go home.
"What for?" asked one of the wom

They agree I to do all this, and all
the little birds were saved and grew
up to fill the forest with their sweet

But, on stormy nights, when the
thunder rolls and the lightning
flashes through the trees, there can
be heard something that sounds like

thinks it is the wind, she sometimes!
