Home Herald. -.
The world has worked itself into
a frenzy over the merciless course
of Leopold in the Kongo, and has
looked on calmly while Christian
England, by protecting the opium
habit in China has drugged the
Chinese race. !,
China has been making an ear
nest effort to free herself from
this curse. Over two years ago
the Empress Dowager issued an
edict against the use or cultivation
of the drug and providing for a
gradual determination of the evil.
Before the PRONUNCIATION of the
edict, the Chinese minister in
England secured the assurance that
England would cooperate with
China in the crusade, and would
gradually restrict the import to
that country so that within ten
years it would entirely cease. En-
gland has not kept faith with
China; she has never kept faith
where the opium habit was con-
cerned: The $40, 100000 a year
which the Indian government re-
ceives from the manufacture of
the drug has weighed more strong
Iy with the English officials than
their promises or any moral consid-
Grafton. 1t is terrible spectacle,
this of a pagan nation striving for
freedom and being pushed contin-
uaIly deeper into the mire of habit
by great Christian power. Cit
liens of the United States should
rejoice that our own government
hands are perfectly clean in the
matter. Secretary Root has made
determined effort to aid the Chi
nese in their crusade and if the
evil is finally blotted out, the vic
tory WILDE due largely to the dis
interested efforts of this govern
ment. .,s'.

NO NEW MATER NH.

The HERALD has refl aimed from
saying anything in the Bowers-Bar-
Der fiasco until now, as we thought
it best to suspend judgment until
the evidence was all in. Both sides
have now been fully heard fir m
and the letters and speechments are
staggeringly voluminous. 1t takes
a comprehensive mind to look
through the labyrinthian maze of
words exploded and find the real
merits of the matter. Having al
ready espoused the cause of Bowers,
we know that our expression in the
matter will be looked upon as par
tisan. Granted to this extent.
We prefer being loyal to our choice
provided it can be done without
any sacrifice of principle or stand
ing against the real interest of the
people. Had it proved other
wise we should have quickly &C
knowledged that we were deceived
in endorsing Bowers and hauled
down his name. But such was not
the development. Barber failed tC
bring out any particular new mat
ter. He to foist his own politica
ambitions attempted to saddle the
responsibility for granting of rip
arian rights on the Coast front tt
the G. & S. I. Ry. by the State
Legislature and Congress, upor
Mr.. Bowers. There was no new
matter in this. Perhaps his letter.
and Mr.. Bowers reply gave it /;
more thorough airing than its haC
before and tha-s about all thu
commoners of this part of Miss
issippi get out his efforts. Had HI
been such a jealous friend of thu
masses why was not his voice rails

believe that in +: their generous de

that the riparian rights so granted

Remedy for Melon Bugs

A Virginia reader asks FARM AND
PRESIDE for remedy for citron an
melon bugs which will not injure the
vines. Probably our friend grows
watermelons, the citron also being a
variety or species of watermelon much
used for sweet preserves. The bug
undoubtedly is the yellow-striped Gu
cumber or squash beetle. This does
attack watermelons, but seems to-pre-
fer squash, muskmelon and cucumber
vines in the order as given. Water
melons planted among any of the
other vines here mentioned usually
escape serious injury caused by these
beetles.
/ always spray my vines with Bor-
deaux mixture and arsenite of lime,
but at times | have noticed water
melon vines having been killed or
much hurt by the application of Bor-
deaux mixture. Possibly we must
make this mixture quite weak, in or
der to be safe for that crop. When
we use three pounds of copper sui
phate, four pounds of lime and forty
or fifty gallons of water. (ora smaller
amount at proportionate rate)we can
90 ahead without much fear and
trembling. Then if you use about
three pounds OF arsenite of lime with
the fifty gallons of the mixture you
will have the remedy you can rely on;
or use arseuate of lead alone, dissolv-
ing one pound of it in about fifteen
gallons of water.

Molltan's Suffrage
CONDUCTED BY
Mrs. Lily Thompson Wilkinson,
Jackson Miss.
WOMAN SUFFRAGE IN PRACTICE.

Prof. Harry E. Kelly, now prac-
ticing law in Denver, but formerly
of the Iowa State University, had
some of the objections to woman suf-
frage put to him for answer. This is
the way he handles them;
/. Woman suffrage would create
dIscord in the family.
Colorado has never heard of of a
case of family discord that was even
alleged to have originated in woman
suffrage. The members of a family
are inclined to stand together upon
political questions much as they are
upon religious questions; but this
fact brOadens the family interest in
public affairs, because women, disre-
garding the mere scramble for office,
direct the family interest along the
line of social questions, in addition to
the interest in partisan politics.
While woman suffrage increases the
number of votes, it gives US an in
creased breadth of public interest in
social welfare. Neither HIS woman
suffrage rendered politics attractive
to women as vocation, nor has it
had any other effect on their charac-
teri han to multiply their social in
terests and widen their intellectual
horizon. Their right to vote has not
made them less dutiful asmothers
and wives. ~
2. Women do not wish to vote.
1.-THE women of Colorado are not
Office seekers, but they vote solidlv
when there is a campaign that ap-
peals to their interest; and in all cleo
tons their vote is large. Among
them of course there are some bad
women, just as among men there are
some bad men. But | apprehend
that nobody has any scheme by which
the suffrage can be so restricted as to
exclude persons who are evil-minded.
There is not city IN the world where
The vote of evil women could be of
enough consequence to be worthy of
serious consideration in a controyer-
" like this. "
3. The surroundings of the polls
re such that refined woman cannot
veil go to them.

Taft is missionary in his work
but not much of a preacher in words.
He is not as handy with homilies as
are those born pedagogues and
preachers, President Roosevelt and
Mr.. Bryan. Yes his blunt frank ness,
his adherence of indirection. his de-
testion of cowardice or trimming,
lead him often to say disagreeable
things in most agreeable why,-to
tell people that which they do not like
to hear. Thus we hear him making a
speech in Ohio den0nncing local boss
without whose aid the Republicans
could not carry the State, and without
whose enforced support Taft himself
would have had troublein getting the
delegates from his home city. Wehear
him making a speech in the capital
city of Western State. where the
Governor was idolized by great ma
jority of the people, and criticising
that Governor by name, out of sheer
intellectual courage, some might call
it recklessness, because thtre was
no great need of it; that Governor,
now senator, is a "favorite SON. and
candidate against Tafts He goes to

Where are these 1000 teachers TO
come from? Through the whole South
and Georgia is no exception IN this
matter-90 per cent of the white
teachers come from the elemen tary
common schools. They finish the
seven or eight grades, and then turn
around and teach these very grades.
This condition is almost tragical. 1t
is uncomfortable. It is universally
conceded truth that teachers above all
people need training, so great is eht
responsibility of guiding immature
minds and characters. And how many
trained teachers have we from our
normal schools each year? In all the
South there are about twenty-five
normal schools, and these will not
average fifty graduates year. 1880
trained teachers to take the place of
about ~, 800 each year! Something
must be done, or we must take up our
position behind other states in the
procession of the worlds progress.
Georgia must move and move promp-
uly and move decision. Georgia must
either greatly increase the capacities
of her present normal schools, or es-
tablish other normal schools, or both.
There is no doubt that the last choice
is the best. Let the present schools
be strengthened until they are doing
all they can do, and let other schools
be established and maintained. Train
ed teachers we must have or lose our
prestige as state Trained teachers
we are going to have. And to have
them we must train them. Georgia
can not afford to rest at all until she
is supplying to her common schools
at least $50 trained teachers year.
MORE AND BETTER NORMAL SCHOOLS
WE MUST HAVE. e

Bryan is turning his X-Ray ma
chine ion the Republican party's
new platform with merciless and
grinding persistence. The way he
is brushing aside the obscurities
of words to reveal the real attitude
of that party in its convention
declared paper, is not altogether
pleasing to its leaders. He has a
way of throwing his searchIights
upon the most vulnerable spots
that is dangerous for that party
success, when a reasoning and SEN

When the words "have and
has" are struck by the meagre
educated, usually their lack of
proper grammar instruction is re-
vealed. How often do we hear
these two words misused, the one
employed when it should be the
other and vice versa. A good
way to guard against making a
slip up on this will be for one
to aways bear in mind that when
has" is used it must be with a
subject in the singular, when
have" with a subject in the
plural. There are some singular
nouns that have a collective mean
ing, but are yet singular, and this
too should be bourne in mind.
This is a good guide, if used will
prevent many slip.

A few dasy ago VIM. j. Bryan,
while at Trenton N. j. was asked
the question, is the Democratic
policy of DISTINGUISHING the negro
in the South in accord with the
spirit of brotherhood Of which you
have been speaking?" Character
istic of the Democratic statesman
he was ready with an answer,
which can hardly be criticised
by the people of any section of the
country, and certainly meets the
approval of the people of the South.
It revealed the fact. that he thor
oughly understood the situation
and no honest man will deny the
truthfulness of his assertion. He
replied: "The white men of the
South put qualification on Negro
SURFACE in self defense and there
is not a community in the North
that would not put on similar
qualifications under the same cir
cumstances.
