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.

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 EUROPE WHEAT Tlie United Slates has approximate ly 800,000,000 bushels of wheat on hand j this year for export and practically I all of It will probably be Sold to th* j warring countries of Europe.

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." CALIEY ADMITS IIS NATIONALITY London, 2:33 p. m.
