Topeka and wichita have finally
come into their own in the baseball
world. For some time past they have
been little out of their class in the
western Association and their jump
into the Western League is the proper
step for them to take. It will mean a
better grade Of baseball in two of the
most progressive cities in the state and
two OF the best baseball towns in the
central western section OF the country.
That the Wichita and Topeka teams
will give a good account OF themselves
In the Western League next year al
most goes without saying and they will
still be rivals for the baseball honors
OF Kansas which will be a good thing
for both teams and both towns.

SUFFRAGE IN GEORGIA.

At the recent election the voters Of
Georgia ratified. by a large majority
the constitutional amendment which is
avowedly designed to disfranchise a
majority of the blacks. There are those
who assert that the ballot will be taken
from 80 or even 95 per cent of the ne
groes, but Democratic leaders question
such estimates.
To be able to vote person must pos
sess at least one of the following quail
fications:
He must have served honorably in
one of the wars of the state or of the
nation He must be descended from
some one who rendered such service.
He must be of good character and have
an understanding OF the duties of
American citizenship. He must possess
either a certain education or a certain
amount of property.
III luck has attended the attempts
that have been made SO far to obtain a
supreme court decision on the validity
of grandfather clauses. If the Georgia
amendment stands, 7the question of the
application by the registrars of the
character and understanding" tests
will assume the maximum Of impor-
] tance.-Chicago Record-Herald.

FR0M OTHER PENS
WOMEN WHO OPPOSE SUFFRAGE.

w OMElN1. w III CfefOSE stCr rfh1AGc>.
One of the speakers insthe woman's
suffrage convention at Buffalo, N. Y,
told the story of the appearance Of
LADY Bountiful'' at a legislative hear
ing who came to plead with the COM
mittee mot to burden her with the
duties of citizenship. but to leave her
free to carry on her ptilanthropies and
charities" Apart from the snobbish-
ness of the plea, this woman's state
ment was interesting, because she
probably was performing duties al
ready which required more intelligent
and more laborious effort than would
have been necessary to support any
burden" OF the duties of citizenship. i,
Sir Theodore Martin, an old friend Of
Queen Victoria, and after her death n
biographer, published letter which
the queen wrote to him in 1870, ex-
pressing her anxiety ito enlist every
one who can speak or write to join in
mans rights with all it's attendant
horrors, on which her poor. feeble sex
Is bent" The unprejudiced reader Of
such a communication, bearing in mind
the ability with which the writer played
the mans part that fate had assigned
her, would be likely to conclude that
the poor, feeble SEX was hardly ex-
hibiting any mad, wicked folly" in
askino for the right of suffrage for wo-
men.-Boston Globe.
THE SUBTLE FEMALE.
AS woman gradually impressed upon
man the futility of strutting around In
f1nery, and the necessity of being prac-
tically useful his garb has become
more and more sober and workaday In
appearances. Ethnologists tell US that
the decorations of primitive man were
intended to fascinate feminine eyes;
but woman presently began to make 1t
clear that she was not hunting for "a
fine, SNOWY article" but something
solid, and plain, and useful, warranted
to stand wear and tear. AS for the
ornamental role. she was going to rep
resent the family, herself, in that line.
In fact, when one reflects how man
has been stripped of gauds, and
wheedled out of his fripperies one by
one. one cannot help feeling a tender
pity for this victim of feminine self
ACKNOWLEDGMENT. Poor, timid trembler,
"a vague, general fear Of the female
sex haunts him. Afraid of being mar
ried against his will, he is circum-
vented by some subtle female creature
who makes him think that it is his will
to marry her. An observer remarks
that a man very often, in running
away from the right woman, runs
straight into the arms of the wrong
woman. And the Wrong Woman, that
great opportunist, is always waiting
there to block his head-long flight and

BILL HEARST AND HIS JOKE
HIS SALARIED MEN DO THE PUB
Lie STUNT ACT AT so
MUCH PER.

The last issue of Tom Watson s
magazine contained this interesting
article:
In his Atlanta speech, at the
Graves notification ceremony, Mr..
William R. Hearst said that he "just
came down to Georgia to see my
friend Graves nominated"
AS my friend Graves" receives
SIS, 900 per year from Hearst to act
as editor of one of his papers the
interest of Hearst in his friend
Graves is not only legitimate, but in
surable.
Then, again, as "my friend
Graves" was notified by Clarence J.
Shearn, the personal attorney of Mr.
Hearst, it was all the more natural
that Hearst should want to be there.
The boss wanted to see the show, as
his lawyer notified" his editor. If
Hearst's man Ihmsen had also been
present-he of the Hearst dough-bag
to read Brisbane speech on the
wickedness of the use of money in
elections the joke would have eli
NAKED
AS it was. the performance was
unique enough
By the way, in addition to being
the friend of my friend Graves,
Mr.. Hearst is chairman of the Hearst
party and pays for the special train
on which the circus travels.
We are not prepared to affirm or
deny the rumor that Mr.. Hearst has
engaged a minstrel troupe to accom-
pany the great reform movement in
its future ORGANIZATIONS.

who led in putting it forward
Thomas w. Hardwick of the Tenth
olstrlct Is the sole one of its vigor-
Gus fathers who has shown anv
great interest in the offspring since
the recent primary.
Mr.. Hardwick has made several
speeches in advocacy of the adoption
OF the constitutional amendment, and
ne has been prolific in advising the
state committee with reference to the
issue.
After the Macon Telegraph had re-
peatedly called attention to the fact
that the governor was taking no in
terest in this question he, a few DAYS
ago, issued a short statement advis-
ing that disfranchisement be voted
for today, and the Atlanta Journal
afterwards came out with one of it's
double column editorials on a similar
line
Deducting what Mr.. Hardwick has
done the issue has been largely left
IN the hands of the democratic or
gan1zation, which has done and is
doing as much or more to carry out
the part of the recently adopted plat
form which relates to this subject
than any other of the party tenets.
1t is generally talked around in the
state that most of those who dad
died" disfranchisement in 1906
would not be much grieved if the
proposition was killed.
While those now in control of the
party did not originate this disfran-
chisement movement, and were not
its leading advocates while it was an
issue, they are standing by the party
declaration on this subject conscien-
tiously and in good faith.
The largest negro vote of many
years will be polled by reason of the
proposed amendment. More than
$4,000 are registered, and their lead.
ers are counting upon voting more
than $4,000 in the state and national
elections.

LETTER TO J. M. RAUCH,

Dear Sir: Experience teaches
some people sometimes; it teaches
a few some things; it's a mighty
slow school though, that same expe-
rience.
Lots of people paint lead-and-oil,
paint once in three years, and think
themselves wise; they are wasting
half their money and fuss. They're
so sure they are wise, they die as
they live, paint-foolish Experience
teaches them nothing.
There's another set, who buy paint
by the gallon, and go by the price of
a gallon. They think one price is
high, and another is low; and they
pay about middling; why don't they
pay low? They know that milk isn't
dear or cheap by the price of a quart;
that the milk has something to do
with it. They don't buy cheap"
milk; but they buy cheap" paint
and pay double. Experience teaches
them nothing.

FARMING PAYS
Ionic Mathis, a Young Lee County
Farmer, VIII Make Six or Seven
Bales of Cotton on Three Acres.


Ionic Mathis, a young farmer
over in Lee county, has this year
illustrated the fact that the great
drawback to farming is planting too
much land and fertilizing too little.
He had a three-acre patch, well
fortified to start with, of course.
He put on a part of it his stable
manure. When this gave out he put
at the rate of thirty bushels of cot
ton seed to the acre, and followed
with 1000 pounds of acid and kainit,
put in four-foot rows and chopped to
four feet in drill. Result: He has
gotten nearly three bales already
picked, and stands a chance to get
three to four more if competent
judges can be relied on. This is the
ordinary, very fat, piney woods land.
He says he would have made much
more had he planted in six-foot rows,
as his cotton is too much of a wilder
ness.
Everyone who tries the intensive
plan proves that we have too much
land half worked.

Drifted Into Savannah and Accom-
plished q Feat in Eating.
A fair sample of the genus hobo
has drifted into Savannah with an
interior capacity attached to him
that might well make farm houses
shudder in the country through
which he passed on his semi-annual
migrations. The hobo gives several
names, SO none will do. His chief
claim on fame does not lie in what
ever his name is, but in his ability
to get around food.
He will be at the Salvation army
hall until the police find out he is
in town. Yesterday when he hit
hungry. However, he rustled up ten
bananas. These he began to con-
sumo until only two remained.
Gee whiz," remarked by-stander

Am I? said the stranger II
could eat thirty more if you'll pay

and sadly watched banana after ba-

sides of the hobo.

Tho regular state election will take

While there has been little inter-
ot in the so-called campaign that
,os been on for several weeks a big
,ato is expected to be polled. Joseph
NJ Brown will in all probability get
tho largest complimentary vote given
democratic candidate in many
years.
The nominal opposition made by
the Independents to the regular
white primary ticket will perhaps
have the effect of aiding in bringing
ant rousing vote for Mr.. Brown.
Good politicians do not believe Will
liam Yancy Carter will receive over
10000 votes, though some are in
clined to hope that he will roll up
considerable strength and stretch
his possible vote to $4,000. 1t is
seritabIy impossible for the indie
peudenCe candidate to endanger the
success of Mr.. Brown. On the other
hand, the very fact of his being in
the race will insure the democratic
nominee a record-breaking vote
Many who supported Governor Smith
in the recent contest, and in the alb
senee of any opposition would not
trouble themselves to vote, will now
take pains to turn out and work and
vote for him to avoid the imputa-
ton of giving encouragement to the
