SIX Society Equal Suffrage Party Organized In Augusta Augusta row boasts the distinction of having an organized Equal Suf frage League. Friday night there was a large and most interested meeting of Augusta women and nu n at the Albion Hotel, the meeting being pre sided over by Mis. Stannard Owens, president of the Augusta League. The constitution and by-laws was read and adopted as a whole. Captain J. Rice Smith made a most entertaining end bright little talk, paying tribute to his mother, to whom he gave credit for all the good there was in him, and as he expressed it, if she could make a man of him why should she not have, anti other women as well have equal rights with men. Captain * Smith closed his remarks by saying that he had been a suffragette for forty-five years and expected to be for the next forty-five. At the conclusion of his talk Captain Smith introduced Mrs. John D. Hammond, one of the bright est. brainiest and most delightful wo men in Georgia, a woman whose depth of thought and comprehensive Knowl edge on any arid all subjects makes her always listened to with a great deal of interest. Mrs. Hammond in touching on the Suffrage cause said: “The* relation of women to modern community life depends upon their re lation to those who have made family, community and national life possible —the children ofrthe race. “The tie between animal parents 1m brief, because their young ho quickly pass beyond the need pf parental care.

Bui the years of helpfulness of the human young fixes the habit of sacrifice, of parental association, of family ties. ‘Without the circumstances of Infan cy,’ says John Fiske, 'we might have become formidable among beasts through sheer sharp-wit ted ness. But the phenomena «»f social Ilf** would have b een omitted from the history of the world. and with them tin* phenom ena of ethics and of religion.’ Civil isation Is brill op sacrifice; and pri marily on that of the world’s mothers. “The need for self-assertion, for aggressiveness, shaped the man, teaching him to combine, to foresee, to grasp arid wield power, developing him through his head rather than his heart His whs. and is. the struggle for life; and it does not foster a con sciousness of other people's rights, or sympathy with their suffering both necessary to a rounded development.

I tilings above all else. For ages they | seemed only to exist to give pleasure i men and to bear what men chose to lay upon them; but through their own ! md their children's experience they were learning the wickedness of op pression, tho hurt of suffering, the j horrors of drunkenness, the awful riesH of the unnamed sins. Experience ihted understanding and compassion, I which, slowly gathered to the driving point, presses women out at last under a common compulsion to do their common tasks. for love has made life complex Kumllles, communities, nations, ara knit together by it until no mother can control her own children's envi ronment except as all mothers work together to secure for all children what children of all communities neetl. We cannot live or die to our own household alone; the moral and physi cal well-being of the poorest child touches that of the most favored In the community. Women have voted In Wyoming for forty-five years; for twenty in Colo rado, Utah, Kansas, Idaho, New Zea land and Australia. Women tax-pay ers have had municipal suffrage in England for over thirty years. In all these places, and Iri many more, the sex line Is as marked In public as in private life Abstract principles of j government appeal to women very lit- Mle, or questions of finance, of lnter i national or commercial relations.

The making of laws for other people cannot, in the nature of things, be an Inherent human right. It Is the fine, high privilege of those fit to he trust ed with It. To pul it Into the hands of Ignorance Is to ensure to some ex , tent —which is a dangerous extent— a purchasable element in political af fairs. This element, the country over, ; has degraded national life, and has Intensified every evil against which women are set to wage war. And, coming to the ballot box, not to seek office or to gain personal ends, hut to serve the needs of homes, of chil dren, of the poor and the delinquent, they can 111 afford to strengthen the hands of spoilsmen by adding to Ihe hands of sigjilsrnen by adding those unfit to vote to political exploitation or moral corruption. They should de mand an adequate educational test for all women voters; and a law, as In Idaho, disfranchising all women of known Immoral life. And having set, this standard they should see to it taht every woman who comes up to j it, whatever her race may he, shall , he allowed to cast her ballot for tho welfare of her people's homes. The development of men has been Individualistic: Individual power Is | their contribution to the great race- I life. But shorn of the other half of | life the women's half -It cuts llfo I Into a thousand fragments sundering j races, nations, Individuals, one from another. But across all these lines, I and tinder them, runs the oneness of | human motherhood, the oneness of ] suffering In which sex has baptised j the women of the world. For the sake of a, common motherhood, of the com mon needs of children, women will hold wide the door of suffrage to any woman who can pass the test, and close It to any whose Ignroance would expose them to the corrupting In fluence of political self-seekers.''

To The Herald: I read In the morning papers of a proposed ordinance coming before city council Monday to prohibit the sale of anything whatever on Sunday, with the exception of medicine, and, during the summer months, Ice. My purpose at present Is to give a f< w temperate and reasonable views which may bear on the proposition. Leaving out any question of Relig ion. which, though it figures largely in many people's speech, hna, I fear, but small Influence on th* majority of people's actions—leaving out the religious question entirely, it is a rec ognised economic principle thav a complete rest from labor every seventh day is of inestimable value in increasing the efficiency of the lab orer. it is the regularity with whtch the holiday comes that accomplishes the greater part of the result. Fifty two holidays taken at random through the year would not have the same ef fect. The basis of all life, even of the whole universe, Is rhythm. It is the regular period, the cadence, of "work six and rest one," that re freshes the world like even, deep breaths and makes It ever able to rise I tip Monday morning and take up Its task renewed, re-adjusted, and re stored. Therefore It would he well If every ' person who is employed regularly by the day were allowed a complete hol iday once a week. Sunday or any other day, but preferably Sunday be cause we know hetter how to rest on Sunda\ when the whole town Is rest ing with us. Rut unfortunately, we have found, in the complex order of civilisation, where we are so helpless Individually and so dependent on each other, that It is Impossible for certain members of society to rest on Sunday. Doc ! tors and trained nurses must work. Drug stores must sell medicines. Railroads must operate, and steam ships cannot stop in mtd-oceua Further, we have found that we cannot well do without newspapers ion Sunday, and that smokers are bent on having their smoke. A drunk ard may forego his gin. and a bear be deprived of her cubs, hut a smoker will Inevitably get tobacco, on Sun day or on week days or In the desert of Sahara. No law will stop the sale of nicotine. We have found that housekeepers forget to order the soup bone on Sat urday night, or that they even some times forget the turkey; hence the Butcher Is allowed by law to remain open until S o"clock Sunday morning. People must have fresh bread; hence the Raker ditto. We have found that periabable fruit perishes on Sunday like any ordinary day; hence the pan hellenle league holds shop all during the sabbath And we never thought of closing the hotel on the seventh ulay and turning the Indignant drum mer, tn stocking feet and suspenders, out on the cold, cold stdew'alk. It is unfortunate, hut it Is the inevitable outcome of our complicated civilisa tion We cannot close up everything on Sunday. The city council will not pass the proposed law. for they know these things. They do not dismiss their servants on the day of rest. What they may pass, however. Is a law providing that each person re quired to work on Sunday shall have at least one regular and complete day off each week t E\ cryhod\ in the world ought to feel fHE AUGUSTA HERALD, AUGUSIA.

THERE IS SOMETHING RADICALLY WRONG WITH THE BEGGAR! To The Herald: Permanent cases—except where the applicant is too old or too infirm in help himself, commonly known as beggars, we decline to help. Any able-bodied person continual. y asking for assistance while making no effort to Letter his condition, is a beg gar and should be dea.t with, as such, by the proper authorities, compelled to become self-supporting and, consequent ly, self-respecting. .So often one gives to the beggar at the door, or on the street, with the idea that one is doing a very laudable deed, and one's conscience is salved with tht fallacy that “it is better to give to many who are unworthy than to let one worthy one suffer.’* TRUE CHARITY KNOWS NO SUCH DISTINCTION AS •'WORTHY’’ AND “UNWORTHY.” It is much easier to give to the beg gar money, food, fuel, clothing, etc., than it is to make a thorough search for the cause of his dependence and to provide a remedy. IT IS JUST AS IMPOSSIBLE TO CURE POVERTY WITH ALMS AS IT IS TO CURE TYPHOID FEVER WITH PAREGORIC! Indiscriminate alms-giving is demoral - ing, unprofitable and degrading to the recipient, and in just this way are so many individuals and families pauper ized and thrown upon the community lor support. To re-instate a family, degraded by tho constant acceptance of alms until little or no effort is made toward self support. takes the jpaiient, persistent effort of years and is sometimes im possible. BEFORE GIVING TO. OR DEMAND ING HELP FOR. ANOTHER LET US BE CERTAIN THAT HE CANNOT HELP HIMSELF. Some kind-hearted person visits a home where theVe is poverty, filth, an empty larder, a crowd of unkempt chil dren, perhaps a drunken father, a moth er too indolent to make the slightest ef fort to better her condition, and Jumps to the conclusion that “this is a worthy case.’’ it is reported as such with the bequest that assistance he given at once and the reporter is, sometimes, in dignant if material aid is withheld, without trying to understand why, and instead of Joining forces with the social worker, who is trying to reclaim and put this family on a self-supporting basis, they work against him giving the alms he may have withheld in order to force those who should shoulder the burden to do so, 1 here is no danger of starvation, we will see that It does not come to such extremes, but the superintendent of one of our mills, one who has the interest ot his people at heart and is evjr ready to aid them, spoke truly when, in dis cussing a family which we had tried. Jointly, to help, he said, “the only way to do is to let them get real hungry and they will go to work.’’ It Is very discouraging hut a fact, nevertheless, that hunger, is sometimes Hip only means hy which me can Induct tfm idler to make an effort to help him- beggar at your door Is not the one wlio most needs your help. Giving to beggars is “like pouring water into n rat hide." One might go o n giving for a lifetime and never do any real good. We are often told that The A.
