NEW YORK. FEBRUARY 17.-Naturally
there was some disappointment on the
part Of optimistic spectators over the
failure Of the stock market to respond
Saturday to the striking success Of the
city bond sale. Most observers are Of the
opinion that the major part Of the buying
Friday. which carried prices UP some
two points on the average. represented to
great extent the covering of short con-
tracts and only, in a small way new spec
ulative operations on the long side. They
are also OF the opinion that whenever the
market displays special strength stocks
that were involved In all sorts Of trans
actions during the panic are pressed for
sale, and that in the absence OF fresh buy
ing the market flattens out as soon as
timid shorts discontinue their covering
operations.

Farmers National Union will be held
in Atlanta March rs, when plans will
be discussed for holding the annual
Georgia state fair under the auspices
of the farmers.
President Charles A. Barrett OF the

the fair, said that the matter would
be taken up at the meeting to be held

From all indications the farmers are
enthusiastic over such a fair, as they
realize that it would virtually mean
state exposition of the wonderful adj

have made. If the fair is held by the
farmers it will be made a mann

Seeking the Ballot
The house committee on the Judi

resolution BY Mr.. Dayey Of Louis,

women the right to vote.
In discussing the proposition, Chair.
man Jenkins said:
"Our girl friends seem to think that
the duty Of this committee is very easy
and that it is a very simple matter to
amend the constitution Of the United
States. Those in favor of this PROPOSE
ton overlook the fact that the federal
government was created by the states,
and the states expressly reserved unto
themselves the power and the right to
say who shall vote and who shall not
vote. Now, why should the federal gov
eminent undertake to force upon the

Of suffrage to women. Why should they
join in a crusade to insist that the
right Of suffrage upon women should be
conferred in the state of Georgia?
"The right to vote is exercised under
what We commonly call the police pow
er Of the states, and 1t Is a serious
question whether we should attempt to
divide that power. So far it has been
proved that it Is best to leave 1t en-
tirely with the states.
"But insistepce on suffrage is only a
step that is followed by marriage and
divorce and several other sentimental
propositions.
when the question is fairly pre-
scented as to whether women shall
vote or not, we shall have to argue
the question on different lines. am

seen a member Of the committee on
the judiciary who felt favorably inclin.
