COMMENDS GOVERNOR FOR AF
POINTING WOMAN STATE
LIBRARIAN.
GEORGIA FREE LANcE)


1t did not create a sensation when
Governor Smith very properly APP
pointed Mrs. Cobb State Librarian.
and yet at one time the eligibility Of
women for that place was the discus
sion of the State. The women were
tremendously interested and brought
all the influence they had to bear the
Legislature: that body finally acting
favorably to the womer, whose mi ter
was in behalf of Miss Ellen Dortcb.
now Mrs. Longstreet. Governor At
kison, however, failed to make the
appointment and MISS Dortch later
married Gneral Longstreet. The wri-
ter was at that time editing the Rome
Georgian and worked hard for the
passage of the bill and for Miss
Dortch. Tremendous pressure was
brought to bear on Governor Gambler
to appoint Mrs. w. Y. Atkison, wild
ow of the late Governor, but in this
as in several other things, he failed
to do the right things, so it remains
for Governor Smith to have the dis
of being the firstGovprnor of
Georgia to appoint a woman to the
Office of the StateLibrarian. 1t was
well done, for Mrs. Cobb should have
had it long ago, and if the Governor
does several more things like that he
will find that he has added unto him
self wisdom and stature.

The temperance question is
rapidly passing from a State to a
National phase. The movement for
stricter temperance laws is MAX
ing Roadway everywhere. In some
states it takes the form of prohi-
bition, in others it has declared in
favor of local option, high license,
or eliminating by remonstrance.
The dry" territory is being
widened in scope month by month.
The larger the dry area be-
comes the more stands out the fact
that the States cannot meet with a
full measure of success so long as
the Federal Government nullifies
the work of the States. Under ex-
listing Federal law no State can
create absolutely "dry" territory
because liquor may be shipped into
this territory from another sta, e
with impunity. 1t is also imposs-
ible to make a State or any porto n
of State dry" as long as the
Federal Government will issue a
permit to a person to sell intox-
icants in the territory which local
authority says shall be dry. 1t
is needless to say that the whiskey
and beer forces are working to-
gether to prevent, if possible, the
passing by Congress of advanced
temperance legislation. They have
hitther to succeeded in this selfish
and unpatriotic endeavor, but now
that the public sentiment has so
generally awakened to its duty to
temperance populati of 35, 900,
900 now living under prohibitory
law, 100000 being protected
from the ravages of the saloon by
State legislation, and $4,000, 00C
given advantage of local option
it should be possible at an early
date to emancipate America from
the tyranny of the saloon by retir-
ing congressman who obstinately
refuse to pass the reasonable tenn
perance legislation demanded by g
majority of the people.

in the dining room just before
dinner is served, gives a delightful

this in the parlor and dressing

Indeed it would be a great thing

not care to have them come and
parade their pernicious ignorance.
We do not need the self-infated
learned provincial to tell us what

such a person may be, his insolent
ignorance is unpalatable. In fact
it is intolerable. 1t is information
