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 THE REPUBLICAN SANTA CLAUS. Chairman Hllles of the Nations! Re publican Committee Is strong on op timism He has come out with a cheering pronouncement. promising the men of hta party a glorious re turn to power over the cold and stif fened corpse of the Democratic party, which he see* In the act of commit ting suicide by Its own measurement.

Newspaper Advertising Wins Oul Again A ! j I I A largo industry located in New York recently cancelled all other forms of ad vertising and doubled its ntwspaper ap propriation. It is carrying out a national campaign and appealing directly to consumers. It is using large, forceful, well writ ten copy—and it is increasing its sales. It is only another evidence that the trend of national advertising is towards the newspapers. Specific information about this ad vertiser will be given manufacturers who inquire of the Bureau of Advertising, American Newspaper Publishers’ Associ ation, World Building, New York. INDOOR SPORTS - - By Tad ■ “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 THE AUGUSTA HERALD, AUGUSTA, GA. 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.” (Copyright, 1914, by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate, New York City.)

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.
