LADIES URGE men
TO VOTE ON BONDS
Don't Want Americas to Lag
Behind Others

At the request of the City Progress
sive Club, the Americas Chapter OF the
D. A. R. at its meeting yesterday took
into consideration the campaign now
on for an extension of the sewerage
and waterworks system, and after a
discussion adopted the following res
Folutions as expressing the sentiment Of
the members, all of whom believe that
the health interests, as we'll as the flu
ture development of the city, require
that the bond election should be car
ried and more sewers laid as quickly
as possible.
Whereas, The voters of our city
are to pass on the question of issuing
sewerage and waterworks bonds, on
Tuesday, April 4th, and believing as
we do that the growth and prosperity
of our city depends upon the result of
this election and the accomplishing Of
the work proposed, and, whereas,
There has never been a question be-
fore our people so much involving the
health, growth, safety and prosperity
of the city as this does, and as no
city can stand still, we must either
progress or retrograde, and as We are
interested citizens of this city and are
proud of our home and do not want
to see neighboring places show more
enterprise and forge ahead of us, and
whereas,
Southwestern Georgia is increasing
in~wealth and population very fast, and
We want to see our beautiful city at
the head of the procession, and as
Sumter county has the eyes of our en-
tire country on her as a great agricul-
tural county, and our public roads are
the model that others are trying to
emulate, and as we want our beloved
city pointed to as the progressive Gem
City of this section, and the great need
to accomplish this is more homes for
those who are knocking at our city
portals and wish to come and cast
their lot with us, and these will not
be built without sewerage and water
extension, and as this is a question
that affects our city pride and the
health and happiness of our homes
Therefore, with no desire to enter
politics or take part in any political
controversy, Be it resolved that We
MAKE an earnest appeal to the voters
OF our beloved city to turn out as one
man on April 4th, and vote for bonds
for water and sewerage.

DROPPING THE MASH.

The matter of drawing the color line
seems TO become more marked and
impressive in the Northern states e.
cry year. Recent instances have serv-
ed to emphasize the fact that the
Southern attitude toward the matter IS
the only logical and reasonable one.
The white girl students at Cornell
! University to the number Of more than
hundred recently signed petitions
that the dormitories at the university
for negro girls be kept entirely separ-
ate from those intended for the white
race. The students who entered this
protest against social equality should
carry their point with the Cornell fac
ulty. There is but one way to decide
the matter.
The Chicago Art Institute faced a
peculiar phase of the race question
Tuesday which was fortunately solved
for them by the action of the negro
concerned. When a white girl employ
ed as a model refused to pose while a
negro student remained in the room,
thereby threatening to disrupt an en-
tire class, the negro finally withdrew
and relieved the situation This is but
another straw to show the direction in
which the wind is blowing. The Book
er Washington incident represents an
acute case, which furnished in theend
the same diagnosis.
One cannot help recalling to mind
the words of Senator Borah, who sum
med up admirably the race problem
when he said: The North has the
same attitude toward the negro as the
South, only the North is hypocritical
about it." 1t is only a matter of time,
however, when the people of the North
will be forced to throw away the veil
of hypocrisy which they have employed
and face the negro problem frankly and
fearlessly. There is no other logical
solution of the question.
The wisdom of the Canadian govern
ment in shutting out negro immigrants
is obvious. Canada wants no negro
problem on its hands. The influx of
negroes from the South to the North
ern states will do more toward bring
ing the people of the latter section TO
view the negro in a sane and rational
manner than anything else. The
sooner politicians, presidential or of
other calibre, learn to stop fawning
and SOLDERING over the negro when
they want his vote, the better it will be
for the people of both races and all
sections of the country

EDITOR STOVALL TO THE FORE,

3
In a column editorial recently, Edi-
tor Loyless, of the Augusta Chronicle,
brought definitely to public attention
the adyisability of selecting Mr.. Pleas
ant A. Stovall, editor of The Savannah
I Press, as the most available candidate
for the senatorship in order to avoid
the factional fight that seems manifest
as the result of the candidacy of SEN
ator Terrell and Governor Elect Hoke
| Smith.
Mr.. LoyIess regards the Savannah
editor as a man who would not only
serve as a candidate upon whom both
/ factions could unite, but also in ad-
mirable manner. Not only as man
but as a journalist and legislator of
experience does Mr., Loyless eulogize
Mr.. Stovall The selection of Mr.
Stovall would prove in the opinion OF
Mr.. Loyless, a happy solution of the
senatorial situation, giving South
Georgia a merited recognition polit-
icaHy
Only one other citizen of South
Georgia is considered with Mr. StovalI
Congressman Brantley, whose can
didacy is given only a passing notice.
From the very best information OBJ
tainable, it would seem that Mr.. Brant-
ley is to be no longer considered in

time; although, we doubt not, the time
will come when he will serve Georgis

More Letters, Less Papers?

The Hartford Times. in treating the
proposed doubling of the rate Of pos
tage on all newspapers and periodicals,
says:
Mr. Hitchcock says that Congress
ought to abolish this deficit by raising
the second-class rate from one cent a
pound to two cents, and then hand
back TO the American people about the
same amount of money in the form of
reduced letter postage. Certainly, II
cannot be claimed that an additional
burden would be imposed upon the
people by this change. The mail SER
vice would not cost more than II is
costing now. The habit of sending let
ters would grow and the number of
them would be greatly increased. The
Postmaster Generals recommendation,
if carried out. would not make 1T any
harder for the Republican speilbinders
10 advocate the reelection of Mr.. Taft
in the event of his denomination next
year.
But what this plan will do will be
TO redouble the fury of the Progress
sives" who edit monthly and weekly
magazines, especially those who fur
nish employment TO the muckrakers.
Many newspaper publishers VIII also
find il hard TO praise an Administra-
ton which proposes TO withdraw from
them what is virtually a subsidy. For
some newspapers this amounts 10 seV-
eraI thousand dollars. AS for the ten
and fifteen cent magazines, they will
be compelled to raise their prices or go
ont of business, if the postal subsidy is
10 be Withdrawn
1t is not matter for the Progress
sives' and ''muckrakers' TO resent, so
much as it is for the people, who will
have TO pay the increased cost of their
newspapers and magazines whether
they receive any more letters or not
1t may be recalled by some that the
object of the law which is now de-
nounced as a subsidy, was the wide
dissemination of educational matter.
Probably the greatest factor in the up
building of character, and mind that
can grasp, is the newspaper and mag
azine distribution of civilization. To
make the people pay more for it that
they may enjoy the privilege OF writ
ing twice as many letters does not
strike the thinking person as progress
sive.
