WOMEN WORK WITHOUT BALLOT?
One of the department editors of the
New York Evening Post discusses the
large number of women who were con-
verted to desire for the franchise by
the struggle Of the last campaign in
that city, and gives numerous instances
of those who started in as, 'antis' and
came out with the determination to
vote as well as to work in the near
future. How long," asks this editor,
do you suppose these, earnest, high
minded women, striving for municipal
betterment, are going to beat them
selves against the stone wall of unequal
suffrage? The issues Of this campaign
converted hundreds Of them, and other
campaigns fully as crftical-for the
work is by no means ended-will con-
vince many more how much easier 1t
will be to bear the burdens of the du-
ties of citizenship when they hold its
supreme right, the ballot in their
hands"

TALLAHASSEE,s GROWTH

Notwithstanding Tallahassee is a
growing city, it is a noticeable fact
tnat public Improvements are not in
keeping with her importance and
growth. Being the capital of the State,
1t is natural that it should be its most
important city, the center of culture,
refinement and education, the hub
around which all society revolVes.
That Tallahassee is not the metrOp-
oils of the State is due more to cir
cumstanceS than surroundings. There
seems to have been a general apathy in
the past in regard to the importance
of public improvements. This indif-
ference has retarded the prosperity and
checked the grow tn of the Capital City.
1t seems to be universally conceded
that good streets and sidewalks are
badly needed here, yet we are content
to plod along without them.
In conversation with a prominent
State House official recently, that gen
tieman said that the streets of Talla7
haSsee could be macadamized at a cost
not to exceed $1,000 per mile. Good
limestone for this purpose exists only
about fifteen miles away, and can be
obtained cheaply, tie only cost being
freight charges and hauling. Just think
of it, only $1,000 a mile, when other
towns are compe,Ied to pay $4,000. A
$4,000 bond issue would give us 81
c-.les Of macadamized streets and put
IN a t1rst-class sewerage system. II
put to an election there is little doubt
that bonds would go through by big
majority.
1t is also admitted that the city needs
manufacturing enterprises, yet nothing
is being done to secure them. The peo-
PIE will have to wake up. They must
geI move on themselves and hustle,
II they desire to get there. A number
or our wideawake citizens have ex-
pressed a willingness to take stock in
any enterprise that will help to build
up Tallahassee. They have asked that
citizens meeting ne held to discuss
the best plans to make the city grow.
AS yet no response has been made to
their oVertures.
This Is not the kind of enterprise to
De displayed in a modern city. It is
not the kind to build up a town. 1t
saVors too much Of the famous slumber
inndulged in by Rip Van Winkle. We
want to get out Of the old ruts, and
push Tallahassee to the front. When
tnls Is done the city will grow, other
wise 1t will never amount to ANYTHING

PICTURE EFFECTS AND ARTISTIC
TASTE,

You get the best satisfaction from
your pictures by having them well
framed. There's much in the mould
ing, and we get the best results. We
know about framing effects, and select
moulding to suit the picture. Not too
expensive nor too cheap. Just really
good frames at The right price.

to keep in the lead when once there
than it is to get ahead when once be-
hind.
During the last few days, however,
the friends of Miss Meginniss rallied to
her support, with a determination to
win. The other side had too good a
start, however, and maintained it. They
realized that Miss Meginniss was an ex-
tremely popular and deserving young
lady. This induced them to work sys-
tematically in saving and gathering up
coupons.
The Tallahasseean wishes to congrat~
ulate Miss Maxwell on winning the con-
test, and Miss Meginniss on the loyal
support Of her friends. During the
week Miss Maxwell received SS1 votes,
giving her a total of 1,S4O. Miss Me-
ginniss received l35, with total of S92.

TALLAHASSEE SOUTHEASTERN.

TALLAHASSEE SOUTHEASTERN.
The announcement of the sale OF the
Tallahassee and Southeastern railway
has revived interest IN that enterprise,
and hopes are expressed that the road
will be pushed forward as rapidly as
possible.
The new purchasers have given moth
ing out for publication, and the old
owners are also mum on the subject,
hence it is impossible to make any def
mite statement in regard to the pros
poets. The road has been under way
for a long time, and its completion
would mean much for Tallahassee.
