Atlanta,Ga.—Birmingham took the lead over New Orleans In the South ern. Association during the week just closed, although it retains front rank by a percentage margin of less than four points. Other clubs did not shift positions. Not counting today’s games, Birmingham won 4, lost 3 and tied 1, while the Pelicans had an even break, winning 4 and losing 4. Mobile, long in the lead, remained in third place, with a record of four victories and five defeats. Atlanta, in fourth, showed better form, having won 5, lost 2 and tied 1. The Crackers went into battle today five games behind the leaders. It cannot he said that any club has a decided advantage over others, for all, with the exception of the ail enders, comparatively are closely bunched. Great rivalry has been aroused throughout the circuit as the end of the season approaches, al though enough games are to be play ed to make possible new alignment. Even Nashville and Chattanooga, in the second division, would be within striking distance with a little more than an even break, provided no team from now on should make a run-away race of It, a situation whic hit not re garded as probable. SPEAKING THE PUBLIC 1H The Fight Was Really Against Slaton. To The Herald. Sir:—lt is amusing to see the Sla ton press claim a convention victory for their candidate after his decisive popular defeat. Tht race was Slaton against the field and the field defeat ed Slaton something like 3 to 1. Slaton juggled with the U. S. senatorship, turning down all candidates for the appointment to the unexpired term who might stand in his way. The game was set for Slaton to run. He ran, clearing the way of ail possibly candidates on his side of the political fence who might get In his way. But something like 100,000 popular votes throughout the state got in his way. They voted against Slaton, the candi date who was running in every county, whether they voted for Felder, Hard wick, Cooper or Hutchens. You can’t get around this fact. Give us a sec ond primary between the two highest and let the people of the state rathet than the convenion politicians decide this fight. Thgre is no doubt of tho outcome. VOTER. One Way to Stop Vote Buying In Augusta. To The Herald. Sir:—Mr. Middleton calls attention to the buying and selling of votes In this community. Here's one way to stop It. 1. Abolish the criminal statute mak ing It a crime to accept a bribe. 2. Double the penalty for the man who offers to buy a vote, or to at tempt to bribe a voter. 3. Abolish the law relating to the confidential relations between lawyer and client where the crime of bribery or vote buying Is concerned. If this Is done we won’t see so many lawyers and their corporation clients active in politics, for the usual vote seller, when he Is protected In this way, will make life a burden by blackmailing the vote buyer and If he refuses to continue to cough up, can testify agalnßt him. Under such a law, we can get plenty of evidence against the men higher-up—those who ■continually furnish the money to de bauch our elections. ONE WAY OUT. To The Herald. ■ Sir:—There will be few to question the correctness of the statement of Mr. Middleton that Augusta’s greatest need Is honest elections. This Is true of many other cities and many other counties. He Is also right In pointing out that the men, prominent citizens and cor porations, who furnish the funds to debauch the voters are largely re sponsible. One way to defeat the use of money, whiskey and ward heelers In elections Is to give the women suffrage. Out men seem to be unable to cope with these forces for evil. Give the women the vote. They handle and rout them. SUFFRAGE. One Election that Wasn’t Counted Out. To The Herald. Augusta has had tome experience lit the matter of counting votes In vari ous elections. There seems to be a widespread Impression that votes are not only bought on certeln occasions, but are counted wrong when occa sion demands or opportunity offers. Why not have a notary publlo at each one of the polls and allow voters after voting to make affidavit. Imme diately as to how they voted. This affidavit to be used as evidence of fraud In case the count reveals less votes than the affidavits call for. FOR A FAIR COUNT. Htrdwlck Would Defeat Blaton In a Becond Primary. To The Herald. Sir;—The most conclusive enawer to the claims of Slaton Is found In the fact that a candidate claiming to run In every county got about one-third of the total vote* cast. It undoubt edly was the Idea of the Slaton man agers to make his popular vote as large as possible else efforts to stimu late the Slaton vote In counties in which he had no chance to win would not have been indulged in, There's no doubt but that In a sec ond primary, one between the two highest, Hardwlok and Slaton, Hard wick would overwhelmingly defeat THE AUGUSTA HERALD, AUGUSTA, GA. 1 Slaton at the polls. Georgia ought to send an administration, a Woodrow Wilson democrat to the senate. ADMINISTRATION DEMOCRAT. Boy Soouts Polite and Courteoua. To The Herald. Sir:—A Boy Scout Is courteous. He Is polite to all, especially to women, children, old people and the weak and helplesß. The point I am getting at Is that when a Boy Scout sees a wom an, young or old, carrying a valise of any heavy object, he offers to carry it for her. Some people think they have to pay the scout, but they do not. In our scout law It says that a scout may work for money but must not receive money for being helpful and courteous. We take an oath to obey the, law, so persons do not have to pay scouts for carrying a vallße or anything like that. BOY SCOUT. To The Herald. Sir; —Do you not think that an uncle has some obllg»‘.on to his fath erless nephews? * nave an uncle who Is rich and has a large business here. He employa other boys, but will not hire us. Yet he knows that we are honest and industrious. He helps other boys got an education, yet we have to work and go to night school.

Sir:—l have heard many men ex press their opinions In regard to con trolling a wife. I recently heard « divorce lawyer say that a man should be a woman’s absolute master from the start. A woman without a mas ter, he said. Is like a ship without u rudder. Others say to give her all the mon ey Hhe wants. Then all Irregularities that you may possibly have will pass as little eccentricities. Others say to be kind, true, affertlnnato companions and not to crush the wife's personality. Let her be free and gnect her on an equal footing, fitlll others say that Indifference is the keynote and that you should keep her guessing nil the time. Some men In their play of masculine egotism combine the methods In varl ous ways, but nearly all seem to have nemo set formula for controlling n woman. Many people seem to be at sea in regard to the social relations of the present time. Woman's new sphere In the world Is changing the attitude L’/ * ■kv infra StltM, N.
