Plus x--The Ardent Mnn.

SO unexpected was the announce
ment of the election of Sarto to the
papal crown that only the cable ac-
counts of his personality, career and
possibilities are at command. But
they give abundant reason for the first
faith that the conclave has been led
to wise, safe and spiritually pro-
phetic choice. If this conclusion shall
be confirmed by following advices the
whole Christian and political world
Will have reason to congratulate the
sacred college for a great exhibition
of courage and conservatism.
Unless the ancient prophecy Is here
and now to be broken, the ardent man
has been found and ii divine intlu-
ence has really guided The choice this
ardent man will be "a burning fire" of
the wholesome sort Unless, In fact,
he shall change his nature and record
as he changes from cardinal priest to
pope the Roman Catholic world has
gained a pontiff who will inaame altar
fires rather than camp fires and ensue
peace as the field OF forces that viii
bring brilliant and lasting victories,
more to be esteemed than those gain
able by reaction and conflict.
1t was a happy event for the church
when Leo XII formed and followed
his great policy Of humanity and Chris
tan humility to irreVoCable circum-
stances; when he entered into a gen
une vicarship Of The Man of Sorrows
and The Prince of Peace. But hap
pier day to the church will be the yes
terday when a great, deYout preacher,
a charitable administrator and icOnO-
clast Of false images succeeded to
the tiara of Leo and The worldwide
opportunities his reign Of a quarter of
a century opened to his successor.
Plus X evidently assumes his pom
tifical name impressed by its own sig
nificance rather than from grateful
and sympathetic feeling with Plus TX.
His promotions and his strong church
ly and personal attachments were all
with Leo. 1t IS fair to assume that
tWo-thirds Of the cOncave were anX-
ious to make no selection that would
initiate q departure from the lines fol
lowed by Leo and so he choice gravi-
tated to one thoroughly imbued with
the polity and personal aims Of the
pontiff who has Just passed on ahead.
The character Of Plus X appears to
be one of meekness combined with
energy, of deep piety allied to policies
for the uplift and betterment of hui
mainly. Under The reign Of such
man the church should |,ove steadily
forward in favor and freedom, and find
herself received ard respected every
where as a communion as active for
good as she is ancient Of priestly and

most oriental devotion to the study

the event of that war they carried the
eagles In almost every political con
tiict and were acknowledged past mas
tiers in statecraft Since the war our
possibilities have been limited by the
harshness of our political situation and
the enforced necessity to carry on

grows up to their occasions the old

hope that as the series Of American

MR.. WATSON'S HISTORY,
fFrom The New York Journa,N

(From The New York Journal)
The great revival Of interest in the
personality and all that appertains to
Thomas Jefferson is due in a great de-
gree to Clark Howell. editor in chief OF
The Atlanta Constitution.
Like OTHER patriotic students OF ma
tional affairs, Mr.. Howell made a study
OF the great author of the Declaration
Of Independence. He realized that the
tonic the thought of this country needed
was a course of jefferson, and to his
encoura cement and persistency was due
the remarkable work on The Life and
Times OF Thomas Jefferson" from the
pen of Thomas f. Watson. Mr.. Howell
announced his belief that sympathetic
history Of the founder OF democracy
could only be written by a southern
man Mr.. Watson's work has justified
his hope. 1t has made the real Jefferson
familiar to tie mass OF the people, who
only knew the inadequately sketched fig
ure of the textbooks, drawn by men
who could not resist obtruding their own
pygmy Judgments Of the giants words
and motives.

an Untenable Suffrage Plan.

The question Of Suffrage and Rep
resentauon' is fairly and ably discuss
ed by the editor OF Gunton's Magazine
in the August issue. The editor is q
republican, but he does not hesitate to
say that the fifteenth amendment was
Il mistake" and that the political end
Of the negro problem has finally come
to this condition, that iii Is no longer
a question OF enforcing negro suffrage,
but one OF adjusting the representation
ia congress to the suffrage III the
states and that this must apply to
all states alike, whether in the north
or in the south
1t is admitted that the only perhaps
unconstitutional part of southern SUI
frage laws is the grandfather clause,
and that could be abolished, either by
the states having il or by the supreme
court without endangering the safety
of those states from negro domination.
The editor admits that educational or
property qualifications are clearly
within The rights OF the states and
these rights are employed IN suffrage
legislation by northern republican
states as they are by southern demo-
cratic states in the south.
Hence, in his argument. he sees no
necessity for abolisning the fifteenth
amendment simply to exclude from
suffrage rights The Inn0cuOus minority
OF those negroes who can qualify under
existing laws prescribing qualifications
for voters that are equal non-discrim
mating and perfectly constitutional.
Nor can congress override the consti-
tutional basis OF representation by re-
sorting to the method set OuI in the
fourteenth amendment That those who
ratified that amendment did not mean
to change the basis OF representation,
pro rata to population in the states, is
evidenced by the fact that there was
no thought implied in any OF the after
war amendments to cut down the equal
representation OF the states in the SEN
ate, under any circumstances affect
ing suffrage, and that representation
in the house could not be reduced eX
cept as q penalty upon a state for its
own specific act OF disQualliying ne
groes by reason OF race, color or pre-
vious condition Of servitude.
Mr.. Gunton concludes that the only
way to get at a righteous settlement
of the negro suffrage matter is to let
the states regulate the qualifications
for suffrage within their constitutional
right and to adjust the basis of repre-
sentatiOn to the total number of intel
ligcnt qualified voters of each state
who had the right to vote in the last
proceeding presidential election. The
trouble in such plan would be that
the apportionment of representation
would have to be made every four
years and not upon a census basis;
but upon state returns of qualified
voters The plan is untenable on its
face. The better thing to do is to
leave the suffrage question where it is
in the hands of the states.

The CroWning Of Lanier.

In the American Men of Letters"
series a volume is accorded to Sidney
Lanier. After all his own years Of
want and work, OF WEAKNESS from pur-
poseful wanQerings in the vast lirma-
ment Of Imagination that mirages Il
spiritualized earth, this poet OF the
south is, without the aid OF any per-
sonal advocate, accorded the apoth-
costs of artistic tame. Stephenson
Browne points out that twenty-five
years ago, even after L.anier had sung
the American pean from the centen-
NAL platform, lis work was the jibe
of the irreyerent gad-fies CT the press
and purblind critics took savage de-
light in scariGying the sensitive self
consciousness Of the gentle Anacreon
of the south.
But the slow equities OF time and
study have gradually massed a host
of converging judgments to- nominate
him as one of the immortals of so
much of our literature as is worthy to
be called classic. Now in we'll
ordered and finely Disseminated gal
lery of the American children of the
sun his name is given a shining set
ting and righteous placement. But
one other southern author appears in
the same company-the gifted and
graceful William Gilmore Simms.
This paucity Of southern representa-
ton cannot be justly attributed to
prejudice against our authors. The
explanation and proof is found in the
fact that in the American Statesmen"
series of biographies fifteen southern
ers overbalance the thirteen northern
ers SO signalized. Every informed
southerner knows that prior to the

Where 1t Hurts Them.

(From Ihe Chattanooga Times)
Vermont newspapers nave recently manifested
quite a FESTIVE spirit under the Widespread
criticism of their suffrage laws. and are dis
nosed TO exhibit degree Of sensitiveness hith-
erto claimed be a fault solely of the south
ern press. The Rutland Herald grows quite
vigorous in Its protest against The Atlanta
Constitution ana other newspapers that have
recently cited the Vermont constitution on the
subject of the franchise, but all the same 1t
has not been able to explain away the fact
that the voter in that state is almost entirely
at the mercy of the election authorities. 1t is
noticeable that The Herald and other New
England newspapers do not find anything
wrong with the Vermont law their only la
mcnt seeming to come from a realization of
the fact that they will hereafter be comewha [
embarrassed in hurting anathemas at the
southern election laws. In other words they
find themselves in the attitude of the proven
bal individual who endangers his own safe
ty by throwing stones during the period of his
own occupancy Of glass house,

Women Wage-Earners Wanted.

Elsewhere in The Constitution we
print story of the scarcity of women
workers for the industries in this city
that sorely need such help and pay
fairly for 1t. Why such state OF
affairs should exist in this city OF eX-
cellent climate, of an industrial society
and of opportunities for work and
wages to be found in better abundance
scarcely anywhere is a fact brlstltng
with puzzling interrogations.
1t is undeniable that there are more
women in Atlanta than men. The CEN
suS returns prove it. 1t is equally I'M
deniable that thousands of these wo-
men, young and old, must either add TO
the family income OF be content with
but a squalid support. Which are
they electing to endure?
We have already commented upon
the scarcity of men laborers for the
large construction works that are be-
ing done in Atlanta and yicinage
Now comes the more enigmatic demon
straton that women workers in cloth
ing and other employments, where wo-
men can be fully and prOvidently en-
gagged, are lacking.
If the true meaning OF 1t all Is that
our men and women who need 80
work are already comfortably employ
ed that fact will be matter tor spien
did congratulation.
The suggestion made by Mr.. Nun
nally that it is necessary to seek tn
the country districts for women who
need work and are willing TO come
to the reputable and vell-paid employ
ments that await them is probably
the solution OF the present case
All through the south there are hun
dreds of good women, single or widow
ed. who could infinitely better their
existing life by coming where they
are wanted. where their wages will
make them easily able TO support
their families and at the same time
get schooling and better opportunities
for the children dependent upon them.
An infusion of such people, accustom-
ed to labor and willing to do SO when
paid fairly will be for the benefit OF
the community and its women-enploy-
ing enterprises. It would open new
doors of hope to those who find life
hard and hazardous on the farms and
IN the mountain cabins and inaugural
n new field of ambition for hundreds
who would prepare to follow on to the
city and its workshops as the demand
for their work expands.
It IS TO be hoped that this call for
working women will find its way to
the homes of hundreds who are now
but existing upon the scant returns
of their rural life and labors and bring
them hither to newer and more hope
fui situations.
