THE WOMEN AND THE DEMO
CRATS.
■While The Augusta Herald, as n
consistent democrat, believes In giving
political representation to all dosses
of persons, making up the people ot
this big republic, The Augusta Herald,
also as a consistent democrat, disbe
lieves in high centralization of power
the federal branch of government. It,
for this reason, considers that to
thru.- t equal suffrage upon all the
stales, at the same time, whether it
la the wish ol' the people of those
separate commonwealths or not and
whether those separate commonwealths
are prepared for it or not, would bo
about the most upsetting i tid mu
chief nut king Course possible for this
government to pursue.
Democracy Is not achieved In a day.
It la the Ideal toward which -let us
hope- the average American strives.
But, we think, the most certain way
to avoid approaching this Ideal Is to
amend our constitution so that cer
tain policies slid principles of govern
ment must prevail, even In those lo
calities In which the spirit of the peo
ple* remains unconverted to them.
This Is the principle upon which the
democratic, party has proceeded ever
since it has been n party and this Is
the principle to which wo hope to see
it remain true, even under the stress
of feminine blandishments, even under
the strain of a threatened political hoy
cot by the already enfranchised
women.
We assume that there Is what they
call "the women’s vote,” that, tn fact,
the women who are already exercising
an Influence in politics are as yet more
busy with the Idea of woman's rights
than with any ideas of good and Just
government.
The fact thnt the women who vote
belong In those states which are usu
ally counted as republican states. In
dicates that the Idee of pfeservlin- b
cal free will government, us against
high centralisation of power, Is not one
which will make an appeal to them,
especially ns ngulnat tnelr great po
litical fetish, the enfranchisement 9f
women. We argue, therefore, that the
democratic party Is more than likely
to get some punishment from the en
franchised women for refusing to com
promise a party principle for political
favor. Nevertheless, It Is by holding
squarely to principles that the vitality
and longevity of a party Is Insured
and we hope that statesmanship rather
than polities will prevail In the strug
gle which la to ensue with the suffra
gists and congress.
A party can afford to less votes hut
It cannot afford to trim on Its prin
ciples. By and hye. when the voting
women come to the full consciousness
of their political responsibilities, they
may ri-alise thnt ststes' rights are
quite ns sacred ns women's rights—
especially thoae particular rlghta of
women that the women themaelves are
In no particular haste to claim

Chairman Hllles of the Nations! Re

A largo industry located in New York
recently cancelled all other forms of ad
vertising and doubled its ntwspaper ap

It is carrying out a national campaign
and appealing directly to consumers.
It is using large, forceful, well writ

It is only another evidence that the
trend of national advertising is towards
the newspapers.
Specific information about this ad

“You needn't romp tn here,” she said,
going In and closing the door; "I dsn't
feed trumps," she said through th*
closed door, for Billy Pig had come up
to the door and was saying: "Let me
in, mother; don't you know me?"
"Don’t you call me mother," said
Madame Pig, "If I had a son that
looked like you I would disown him."
"But I am Billy Pig,” said poor Billy
Lot me In; I am hungry."
"You will not get anything to eat
here," said Madam Pig, “and ts you
don't go away 1 will set the on
you.”
Billy Pig smiled at this .even though
he was so unhappy, for he knew there
was no dog In the ho; e.
“I am not afraid of dogs," he said,
"and if you don't give me%omethlng to
eat I am going to break In the door."
Madam Pig hegari to he frightened
then. "If my son were here," she said,
“I guess you would not talk to me
thnt wav.”
Then Billy l’lg was truck with nn
Idea.
"Your son will not hurt anyone again
He is nt the bottom of the pond; 1
saw him go over In a boat."
"oh, dear! Oh, dear!” she cried,
opening the door and forgetting all
about the tramp she was afraid of.
She ran out of the house and down
the road and Billy Pig waited until
she was out of sight and then he went
In and changed his clothes.
Madam Pig met Billy Goat, and
when she told him what the tramp had
said Billy Goat thought he knew what
had happened and tried to help Billy
Pig out.
"We rescued him," he said, "and af
ter working very hard we brought him
to life. Of course, you will not mind
ts his suit is ruined. Madam Pig; ho
had u \ery narrow escape."
“Oh! T don't care a hit about his
suit. Where Is my boy? Where is he?"
she asked.
"He must he home hy this time,"
snld Billy Goat. "I will go hack with
you.
Hilly Pig was eating his supper when
Billy Goat and his mother came in.
"oh! mj poor Billy Pig," cried his
mother, "to think you have hepn nearly
drowned and your mother not there,
you poor boy, you poor boy."
Billy Goat winked at Billy Pig, and
while he did not feel sure what had
happened, somehow he felt that his
thother would not punish him.
"Did you find a horrid-looking tramp

when you came home" asked Billy
Pig's mother.
"Oh, yes; but I drove him away,'
said Billy Pig.
"I told him you would,” said hla
mother. "He was the one who told
me you were drowned.”
"Your mother does not rare a bit
about your suit being spoiled,” said
Billy Goat.
“Where is it?” asked his mother.
"I may be able to let it down if it
shrunk.”
"Well, you see, it did shrink,” said
Billy Pig. looking into his bowl of
milk, "and I had to borrow soma
clothes to come home in, so I gave it
to a little fellow who helped to save
me.”
"And, of course, you care nothing
about tlie suit, Madam Pig, so long
as you have your son safe and sound,"
said Hilly Goat quickly.
"Oh, no, of course not,” replied
Madam Pig. "I was thinking I might
he able to let it down with a ruffle or
something."
That night when the moon was shin
ing and everybody was asleep—l mean
everybody but Billy Pig—he crept
softly out of the house and across the
field to the scarecrow and took off
his shrunken suit.
Then he dressed the scarecrow in
his own clothes and took the sailor
suit under bis arm and went down to
the pond.
He tied the suit around a big stone
and threw it into the pond.
"There, I guess I am safe from ruf
fles this time,” he said, as it sunk out
of sight, "but I had two narrow es
capes today, and I do not want such
an experience again. I believe wear
ing ruffles on my clothes would have
been worse than drowning.”

DEATH 0. LEE MARTIN DUE
ACCIDENTAL POISONING
Coroner’s Verdict in Investiga
tion of the Death of Young
Man.
The coroner’s Jury in the investiga
tion Into the causes of the death of
G. Lee Martin found that the young
man came to his death by accidentally
and unknowingly taking an overdose
of hromo-chloral, a poisonous prepa
ration. It will be recalled that the
voting man died early Sunday morn
ing, after suffering a great deal of
agony from about noon on Christmas
Day.
Martin and his wife and the young
people of the neighborhood went to
the residence of Mr. and Mrs. G. C.
Boswell on Christmas Day and were
drinking wine. Mrs. Boswell had tak
en a dose of bromo-chloral and the
bottle which contained it was on the
same table with the wine and of the
same size as the wine bottle.
Through mistake one of the young
people poured out a glassful of the
chloral, thinking it was wine. One ot
the young men tasted the chloral and
remarked that it was the bitterest wine
he had ever tasted. However, Martin,
thinking the contents of the glass to he
wine, drank the entire glassful and
It was not long before he was founj
in the yard writhing in pain. Dr. G.
V. Baxley was sent for but he was
several miles the other side of Grove
town when he received the message
and It was a drive of almost 15 miles
to the place where Martin was suffer
ing. However, in the meantime he had
been moved to his father-in-law’s
place, at which residence he died.
The coroner’s inquest was held by
Judge W. H. Nurnberger.
