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 who. having just completed his year s work at Columbia University, New York, will have charge of the press work for the state suffrage associa tion of which his mother is a district vice-president. SLEEPY* ©TALE® THE NEGLECTED DOLLS. By Virginia Vale. 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."

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 THE AUGUSTA HERALD. AUGUSTA, GA. INDOOR SPORTS 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 As Jennie and her two women ae qmilntancca wire coming out of the theatre a man came up and spoke to •her companions.

"All right." said Jennie. Til stay for a little while.” In the meantime Tom was walking thi floor at home, nearly crasy, for he did not know where Jennie was. or where to look for her. Jennie and tb*» others went to a quiet lltth restaurant, where they all ordered cocktails, except Jennie, wiio wanted lemonade This seemed to cause much merriment i n the part of the others.

They agree I to do all this, and all the little birds were saved and grew up to fill the forest with their sweet singing. But, on stormy nights, when the thunder rolls and the lightning flashes through the trees, there can be heard something that sounds like me-o-w, and though the old witch, thinks it is the wind, she sometimes! wonders If she listened beside each tree If she might not find the ono that covers the greedy puss.
