Fitzgerald enterprise. (Fitzgerald, Ga.) 1895-1912, 1903-04-24

Miss Belle Kearney, of Flora,
Mississippi, in an able address
before the National suffrage
Convention in New Orleans, made
> strong plea for the enfranchise-
ment of Southern women as the
only honest solution Of the race
question in politics. She said in
part
The enfranchisement of wom-
en- would ensure immediate and
durable white supremacy; honest
ly attained; for upon unquestion-
able authority, it is stated that
in every Southern State but one,
there are more educated women
than all the illiterate voters, white
and black, native and foreign,
com bined. All the women in the
South who can read and write,
ten out of every eleven are white.
When it comes to the proportion
of property between the races,
that of the white outweighs that
of the black unreasonable. The
South is slow to grasp the great
fact that the enfranchisement of
women would settle the race
question in politics.
Il have heard it said in the
South, Oh, well, suffrage may
be very good thing for women
J in other sections of the United
States, but not here. Our women
are different. How are they un-
like those Of their own sex else
where? They are certainly as
intelligent as any upon the face
of the earth; they have the same
deep love for the home, the same
devotion to their country.
Oh, yes, but, you see, if the
white women were allowed tc
vote, the negro women would
have the same privilege, having
to meet them at the polls on a
basis of equality. That diffic ulty
would be settled by having scpa-
rate polling places. When the
ballot is given to the women OF

superstitionS About Bread.

In Brittany when housewife begins
to knead dough she makes a cross with
her right hand. the left being placed in
the trough. If cat enters the room, 1t
IS believed the bread will not rise.
1t is supposed that certain women can
cause the dough to multiply itself. On
the coast of the channel the dough is
adjured to initiate the leaven. the mil.
Ter and the baker and to rise.
The oven is sacred object ard con-
nected with crowds of supegstitlons.
The oven is dedicated, with ceremo-
MES. In certain places in Brittany the
wood Is watered with blessed water.
Bread must not be cooked on certain
days. rs on Holy Friday or during the
night OF All Saints, when the ghosts
would eat it.

GARFIELD IS READY
His Trust Busting Bureau Is Now in
Shape to Get After New
Ones.
Could Have Prevented the Ship
building Trust Scandal if Or
ganized Sooner.

From The Journal Bureau, Colorado Building,
Washington.
Washington, Nov. 20.-The depart
ment of commerce and labor has taken
note of the scandalous developments
in the shipbuilding trust inNestiga-
ton, and 1t is not impossible that the
president will have an opportunity TO
act on recommendations for leg1sla-
ton aimed at preventing their re-
currence. It Is thought by some that
there Is enough power in the new law
authorizing the secretary OF commerce
to investigate corporations to prevent
a recurrence of such doings; but as
yet there has been no opportunity to
test the efficacy of the act. The snip
building trust was organized after the
passage of the law, but the past nine
months have been occupied IN organ
izing the instrument thru when the
law Is to operate, namely. the bureau
of corporations While the commits
sioner of corporations was getting
ready to do business, the most colossal
occasion for his minlstrations has been
set up and has immediately collapsed
of its own inherent weakness
It was to prevent the organization
of just such corporations as the ship
building trust that the bureau OF cor
porations was created by congress. It's
purpose, as stated in the act, Is to
make diligent investigation into the
organization, conduct and manage
ment of the business of any corpora
ton, joint stock company or corporate
combination engaged In commerce
among the several states, ETC." The
president has the power, in his discre-
ton, to make public any information
reported to him by the commissioner
of corporations.
Had the bureau of corporations
been in working order when the pro-
motors of the shipbuilding trust
started their fotation enterprise, it
would have been discovered at once
that there were dummy" incorpora-
tors; that the concern was being over
capitalized, and that the public gem
orally was being misled as to the value
of the securities In which they were
asked to invest. Under the law Pres
iient Roosevelt would have the power
to publish bulletin, thru the depart
ment of commerce. giving these facts
to the public.
What the effect of such publication
would be Is apparent to everyone. The
mere publicity would be enough to put
an end to the insecure and improper
financing. Investors would draw back,
and no one would be found to buy, In

NEW MILITARY SCHEME
Plan to Cut Country Up Into -Four
Grand Divisions, With Major
General for: Each.
From The Journal Bureau, Colorado Building,
Washington. 10 g. p.

From The Journal Bureau, Colorado Building,
Washington e -
Washington. Nov. 2o.The5 general
staff Of the army is considering the
to congress Of a
scheme for the separation Of the coun-
try into four grand military divisions,
with major general in charge Of
each, each division to have two subdi-
visions, with general over each. This
will take the place of the present RAJ
ther illogical system of departments,
some OF which are in charge Of major
generals, and some brigadier generals.
The eastern section, with Porto Rico
added, would constitute, one division,
the central section another. the west
ern section the third, and the Philip
pines the fourth. This would not pro-
vide a place for each major general,
but the others will be employed on the
general staff. This scheme, It carried
out, will look to the estab lishment of
some sort of an army post in nearly
every state In the union, and to three
large posts In each of the large divt-
sions, one for the major general com
manding, and one for each brigadier
general under him. Under this sys-
tern the regular troops would be scat
tered all over: the country, and no
trouble of any kind could occur with
out the military,s being able to reach
1t promptly.

New York, Nov. .20.-Albert Grenz

one will have to go some distance

Some time ago Mr.. and Mrs. Grenz,
who live In Brooklyn, took their
youngster out for walk and showed
him the new bridge. He continued
to talk about the new structure, and
his alphabet blocks he used for tow
ers for bridges, putting sticks on top
to represent the roadway.
Soon after IL O'Clock Thursday
morn 'ng Albert, who had been play
Ing with other children on the street,
disappeared. The neighborhood was
searched and the police notified. They
failed to find any trace of the boy.
The first news Of him came from po-
lice headquarters yesterday, when
Mr.. Grens was notified that the little
fellow had been picked up at the
New York end OF the williamsburg
bridge by a policeman.

TYPHOID INFECTION.

While it is unquestionsbly true that epidemies of typhoid fever are caused in great part by the germs taken into the human body with impure water and impure mile. it is also true that occasionally epidemics occur whicn can not be satisfactorily explained in this way. Recent investigations of such cases by British physicians tend to show that direct infection is eften responsible for a wide spreading of the disease.
 In Birmingham, for instance. . re cent investigation Of years records of typhoid fever cases resulted in g statement that one-seventh of the cases were caused by direct infection h Manchester a similar result was reached. A London instance in which 6 family of nine persons all had the disease, although there were no other cases in the neighborhood, is described ir a recent number of the Lancet.
 The family was poor. living in a three-room apartment. The first mem Der taken sick was not thought to have uphold fever, and so disinfection and similar precautions were not taken Nursing and cooking were carried on in too close proximity. Five per sons were infected beyond question from the first patient, and three oth- CTS from them. The physician who examined the records decided that di- iect infection was the only tenable hypothesis.
 It is clear that the conditions of ten enent-house life are especially favora- ble to the spread of the disease in this manner. and it would seem that the strioter the supervision of all cases Of typhoid fever reported the better would be the chances for reduc- ing the death rate.
