PUSHING THE WOMEN OUT,

The stories Of departmental practices
which have appeared recently in the
Washington papers serve to show up,
very conclusively. the insincerity of our
civil service rules.
According to Washington Times. while
IT is true that more women than men sue
cessfuIiy pass the civil service examina-
ton. fewer OF them are appointed than
formerly. In the past year or two a
prejudice against the appointment of
women as clerks has grown up, it says,
among the several heads Of the depart
ments. No particular reason or cause
for this prejudice is assigned by the
civil service commission, but it exists
and seems TO be growing.
When a vacancy occurs in any divis-
ion Of a department the civil service
commission is notified and three names
are certified from the eligible list. The
names do not include a woman's because
the chief of the division has requested
that only men be submitted, and the
commission complies with the request.
, Last year out of 1921 persons certi-
fed for appointment through the civil
sGTNlCcs anu WHO EC|eANtu
only 7ss were women, and this in the face
of the fact that the women on the aver
age made higher percentage in the ex-
animation than the men.
Not long ago the civil service commits
sion was called upon for ten stenogra-
pliers and typewriters. This meant the
submission OF thirty names of success
full applicants. who. after much study.
had passed the examination and were on
the eligible list. There were many wom-
en- on the eligible list OF stenographers
and typewriters who stood near the top,
but not one had her name submitted
because only men were asked for.
Figures furnished by the civil service
commission show a gradual falling Off
in the number Of women appointed in

WHAT CONGRESS WILL NOT DO

WHAT CONGRESS WILL NOT DO.
II seems to be generally understood that
absolutely nothing in the way Of tariff
legislation at this session OF congress IS
to be expected, while practically nothing
in the nature of trust legislation is to be
hoped for,
" True, the party in power has mapped ont
some sort OF program ostensibly intended
to deal with the trust problsm-but, in
reality, intended to partially satisfy pub
lie sentiment.
Although President Roosevelt made
some radical declarations Though he scat
tered badly about trust control, it is a
foregone conclusion that congress will do
barely more than touch upon the trust
problem. According to administration or
gans themselves, about all the trust leg
islstion that is proposed is moderate bill
intended. or so declared at least, to
strengthen the governments hand,
through the department OF Justice, In deal
ing with the trusts. 1t is proposed, for
one thing. to appropriate 100000 as a
fundupon which the department can draw
in an effort TO test and enforce the pres
ent existing antitrust law.
And, If we may judge the future actions
of the Republican administration by its
past the thing-will probably end there.
For long time at least-or until the peo-
pie force upon the administration more
radical and effective legislation.
AS for reforming and revising the tariff
as a means of solving the trust problem,
the present congress, at least, has no
thought of that. The tariff is not to be
touched in any matter whatever.
Aside, therefore, from providing for a
test of the present antitrust law, the
present congress will not do anything of
real importance other than the passage of
some currency and other bills affecting
the Philippines. and disposing Of the state
hood bills.

in what was. at that time. the center Of
the states population. Not in north Geor-
gia, because noFth Georgia was not then
thickly settled; nor in south Georgia, be-
cause at that time that now hourishing

but around and through middle Georgia,

REpEEMINe eEoReIA FARMS.

The Journal publishes elsewhere today
an article telling of the splendid results
of irrigation and drainage in Georgia as
applied by one progressive Georgia plant
er-Dr. L. G. Hardman. Of Jackson county.
There is a lot Of valuable information
and a splendid lesson in this article for
the farmers of Georgia, and we feel that
we cannot do them greater Service at
this time than to draw special attention
to what has been done on one Georgia
farm by progressive methods.
So convinced has DR.. Hartman become
that irrigation and drainage will redeem
thousands of acres Of lands in this state
and mean millions Of dollars increase in
their productive capacity, that he wants
to attract the attention of the national
government to this state as an inviting
field for such work; and he introduced at
the recent session of the general assembly
a resolution calling for an investigation
and preliminary survey by government ex-
perts
1t is a fact that we have too long been
careless with our lands in Georgia; allow
ing them to wash into gullies or TO become
wet-weather ponds to their own destruc-
J ton and the injury Of the state as
whole. This has been because lands were
cheap, and 1t was easier to take in new
land than to repair old. But Georgia dirt
has almost doubled in value within the
past ten or twelve years; at least this is
true in all progressive sections of the
state. We cannot afford, therefore, to
allow dirt that is. or ought to be, worth
from $40 to $50 an acre wash away or re-
main under water half the time
DR.. Hartman has abundantly demon
strated that IT pays not to do this. He has
, shown how to redeem such lands. The ar
ticle published elsewhere tells convincing
ly Of his experiences. There is much in
it for other progressive farmers to di-
gest.
We are glad that somebody has taken
ND this matter in a practical way. DR..
Hardman viii have done much for his
state, both as citizen and a representa-
tive. ifNhe can succeed in arousing our
farmers to the importance Of saving and
improving their lands, and, at the same
time secure the cooperation Of the ma
tional government in this important work
