WHAT FOR?
We hour a areal deni about "citl
zpnshlp," “Intelligent citizenship.'
the “right «f cttlxenshlp," etcetera.
Juki now, over nil ftf this country --
even liore In August*. even throughout j
the South th« women are making,
their claim* for qiO**fKhlp.
Do they, we wonder, appreciate what
a very difficult thing It l« to bo a
citizen? Of course, we would not bo
understood a* desiring to Imply that
the duties of cltlsenshtp are either]
appreciated or understood by the men
— 4Utto the contrary. Whnt wo mean
la that the women who are so deslr
t>u* of Kelt'hS Into tlie political game
should he considering whero the men
are now falling short, so that when'
they sneered In getting citizenship |
they may at least avoid Increasing con
fusions and multiplying errors, It Is.
very certain that unless women pre
pare to be more thoughtful, more ear- |
nest and more determined In fulfill
ing their duties as citizens than the
men, their communities and their
states will profit very little by ac
quiring the feminine vote.
The Herald would be glad to bear
from some of the Augusta feminists
on the question, “Why? We Want to j
Vote." We would limit the discus
sion strictly *° P'uns and promises
for Augusta s good. r'or Instance, |
What do you think the women will j
be able to achieve for Augusta when
they exercise the rights of citizens?]
What changes do you think the wo-1
man's vote promises? In what particu- '
lars are you dissatisfied with the man
agement of your city, and how do you
purpose to Improve It when your voice
In community government Is heard?
Bo fur U 8 tlit* woman's right to vot*»
1* concerned, this subject tt, for us, ex
liausrted. We believe that In a demo*
ora tic government every one who is
Intelligent and desires to vote should
Be given the right, without dleortclna
tlon of sex, but, if the suffrage move
ment In Augupta really promise* prog*
re** for Augusta, the sucres* of the
movement will be the quicker and the
surer when this is understood.
There is not a town in the entire
country which does not need a greater
number of Intelligent and earnest citt*
sens. l#et us hear In a hat ways the
women voter* in Augusta would change
things. We don't want to know why
they want to vote; we want to know
what they want to vote for.
HEAVY EUROPEAN FOOD

Wsshington--More than $68,000,006
worth of food stuffs were exported
from th* United State, Inst month,
compared with only $38,000,000 worth
for the same month of the previous
year, according to a report issued to
day hy the United States Department
of Commerce. The fot ‘<l exports last
month were alao larger than any prev
ious month In history. Most of the
outgoing shipments were destined to
European countries engaged In war
Exports of wheat, oats, rtce »nd fresh
and canned meats showed re-rarkabl*
gains over any previous month's ship

NARCOTIC DRUG
USERS IN U. S.
In Report Issued Today, Public
Health Service Says Number
Not As Large As Had Been
Supposed.
Washington. Tlmt tlie number of
persons in the United Stall's addicted
to the habitual use of narcotic drugs
la not nyarly so large uh bad been sup
poaed, la tbe conclusion of the puhllo
health service, In a report today. It
bad been estimated that between ono
and two per cent of the population
were drug 1 .utilities. Declaring that
while tills estimate undoubtedly la too
high, the report says the figures show
the existence of too*many users of
narcotic drugs. The belief also la ex
pressed that the evils due to the Im
proper use of such drugs have been
greatly exaggerated.
1.403 Permits.
The conclusions are based on data
furnished by the Tennease authorities,
which the report states, show that
during the first six months of the ope
ration of the slate Intl-narcotto law,
1,408 permits were issued to persons
allowing them to purchase narcotic
drugs, and also on figures giving the
j approximate number of average doses
of the habit-forming drugs imported
ilnlo the United States In lull and.
[llll2 being, respectively, 8,040,900,000
iaiul 2.805,700.000. On the basis of the
J figures for the years named, the re
liant says It would appear that basing
an estimate on the average consump
tion of the drug habitue, In Tennes
see. each addict would consume ap
proximately 1.000 doses each month,
or 12.000 doses n year.
To Per Cent.
••The state of Tennessee.” says the
report, "contains approximately two
per cent of the total population of the
i United States and on the supposition
that the same ratio of the number of
addicts and the amount of material
1 consumed will hold good throughout
itie United Stall's, we would have a
! total of something more than 711,000
drug habitues consuming approxi
mately 860,000.000 average doses per
jvear. Tilts quantity is probably some
what low, hut tt Is fair to assume that
not more than double this amount, or
approximately 1,700.000.000 average
’ doses are consumed annually by drug
habitues. •
GEORGIA WILL NOT SEND

quis. the regimental despatch dog of the Twenty-third French Infantry.
Ims been mentioned In ttie order* of the day having fatten In duty at the
battle of Sarrebourg. on the Belgian frontier. At this action tt became
necessary for an officer to send a report Immediately to his superior,
but at the time the German fire was too Intense to allow a man to
cross the flro sane, and Marquis was charged with tbe mission.
Off he ran across the fire-swept sop? and arrived nearly at the ob
jective point, when a German ball struck him In the right side and
brought him down He struggled to his feet, though losing a great
deal of blood, and dragged himself up to the position where the officer
was directing a section of machine guns. He let fall the order, red -
dened by hi* blood, and breathed his last.
Hi* soldier comrade* are ratalng a fund for a monument, on whloh
is to be Inscribed:—-“Marquis—Killed on the Field of Honor."

Special Commission Appointed
By Mayor Mitchel for Propos
ed Alleviation This Winter.
New York.—A census of idle, work
Insurance nn<l other reforms to be con*
slderod by a special commjssion com
posed of hankers, labor leaders, char
itable workers and itien prominent in
mercantitle and railroad circles, Is the
means proposed by .Mayor Mitchel for
the alleviation of the unemployment
problem in thin city.
Henry Hruere. city chamberlain,
held a lonjsr conference with Mayor
Mitchel yesterday. Together they map*
ped out committee’s personnel.
Sub-committee’s will he appointed and

Special Problem.
The large number of men out of
work through economic conditions due
to war In Kurope ami other causes not
only thousands of day laborers but
clerks, stenographers, keepers of small
shops and salesmen. These bring about
a special problem and the committee
will give particular attention to their
needs.
Formerly the majority of men un
employed has been manual workers
and to these the city could afford some
relief in the way of physical task*.
But such employment will not furnish
work for clerks or salesmen who are
not able to stand the physical hardship.

AUSTRALIA BITS
HARD AT TAFT
Declare That if Ex-Prest’s
Views Reflect Those of Wil
son Administration, Monroe
Doctrine Thing of Past.
Melbourne, Australia, (via London,
1:30 p. m.) -The Melbourne Age re
ferring to the views of Former Presi
dent Taft concerning the Monroe Doc
tiine, expressed recently at Montclair,
N, J., and particularly his statement
that the United States would not be
compelled by the terms of the doctrine
to intervene If Canada should be at
tacked by Germany, has this to say:
“If this interpretation represents the
views of the government of the United
States an event of first rate import
ance to the entire civilized world lias
taken place. If the Wilson govern
ment shares Mr. Taft’s opinion, it Is
very clear that the Monroeism is a
thing of the past and that the United
States lias abdicated the position she
has been Jealously guarding for a pe
riod extending upwards of eighty
years."
In his address at Montclair, N. J.,
last Friday night, Ex-I*resldent Taft
said that while the landing of troops
In Canada by enemies of Great Brit
ain would not constitute a violation
of the Monroe Doctrine arry effort to
establish a new form of government
in ease of victory would violate that
policy. Mr. Taft added:
"All that the Monroe Doctrine would
consistently require of us would be to
Insist that when the war Is over. If
Germany were successful, she could
not take over the territory of Canada
and overthrow her government and
establish her own there, or take any
oppressive measures which would
have a similar effect. But we would
not object to her exacting an indem
nity if she were the victor."

WANTED-A MARKET
I.lke any other business man, tbe
farmer only wants a fair profit on his
capital luxestment and a I'vlng wage
for his labor. There Is no better way
of hetptng him make both ends meet
than by giving him a profitable mar
ket for his products.
