GADSDEN FIGHTS
 WITH ENGINEER

Gadsden, April s.-(speclal.)- .)-The differ ences existing between the city council and the consulting engineer, J. N. Hazel hurst of Atlanta may soon be patched up and an amicable settlement made The city is entitled to forfeiture of s24 a day because of a failure to have the plant done at the specified time. The en- gineer is claiming a portion of this money although there is nothing in the contract made between him and the for mer council that would indicate that there was any such agreement or under- standing in the matter. He Is also set ting up the claim that he is entitled to receive his commission on whatever money is raised for the completion of the plant. The council and the engineer have been wrangling over the matter for some weeks and it seemed as though only the courts could adjust the differences. Now, however the engineer has signified his willingness to make a compromise set tlement and this will likely be done and the city left to complete the plant with out any further service from the en- glneer.

PROOF OF THE PUDDING.

Woman suffrage is one of the i'm
pending isstles throughout the world,
and already practical question in
several states where constitutional
amendments, have been submitted
Under these circumstances we can
not get too much light on the query:
What will she do with it when she
gets. it?
Seattle happens to furnish the
best answer because her women have
been recently enfranchised and have
gone to the polls twice in month
on political issues that had pro-
nounced moral side.
In the first place, Seattle proves
that women will vote when matters
vital to THE home and their children
are at stake Ninety-five per cent. OF
them registered, and the proportion
of women voting was larger than that
of men.
Having recalled Mayor Gill from
office and completely reversed his
policy of wide-open town at an
earlier election. the women went to
the primary ON February % and de.
feated Is out of is candidates for
council who stood for the Gill idea.
The three who escaped had hut a
slender margin and the women say
they will "get" them at the election.
The kind of men nominated by the
vote of the women is also significant.
They are men Of various trades and
professions, but almost without ex-
ception men who have demonstrated
their capacity to succeed in life and
who have made study of civic gov
eminent.
We have been told that women
wouldn't vote; that only bad women
would vote; that they would vote
for good looking men without regard
to fitness; that they would cease to
care for their homes and children.
Well, you see the pudding served
by the women voters of Seattle! How
do you like it?-Des Moines News.
