Martial Law in Georgia
1t Is To Be Hoped That the Day Is Far Distant When 1t Will
Be Necessary Call Out State Troops Again.

Citizens generally disposed think that the Georgia
have given good account Of themselves of
only the trial of criminals in Forsyth county
but in the prolonged Augusta strike situation.
Moreover the governors attitude both of these
have been such and due regard for

It be hoped nevertheless that the day distant

STATE TROOPS OF GEORGIA FOR HOSTILE PURPOSE.
Martial law disagreeabe distaseul and irksome,
where it does not actually work hardship.
The people of Georgia liberty loving people, they
do not relish unusual restraint when they admit its
cessity.

To Obey :: By Dorothy Dix

Nor does the husband, if he is
the right sort of a man, desire his
wife to obey him. He recognizes
her rights as an Individual; he re-
Spects her personal liberty of
thought and action. Moreover, he
hasn't picked out for wife a child
who is to be dictated to at every
turn, nor a fool who must have
every act directed by a superior
intelligence.
The modern idea of marriage is
equality of both parties. not the
subservience of the woman to the
man. We are done with slavery,
even Of the domestic brand and
men don't wish their wives to kneel
at their feet, but to sit beside them.
An Why Should She?
If woman should promise. when
she takes the marriage vow. to help
her husband, it would mean some
thing, and she could take it in good
faith. but to obey-huh-sh would

she wanted to do and that her own
good sense and judgment told her

And why should she obey. pray?
why should some great big, strong,
intelligent woman obey some little
shrimp of man. just because she
happens to be his wife? There are
plenty of women who are far bet
ter educated than their husbands.
better born, who have had greater
advantages; there are plenty of
women who are broader minded
and saner and who have better
judgment than their husbands:
there are plenty of women who are
better managers than their hus-
bands. win anybody contend that
these women should obey their hus-
bands, and do foolish and unWiSe
thinss-thiuss that will perhaps
wreck the family fortune-because
their husbands tell them to, and
they must mind The very idea
is idiotiC.
Al any rate. women don't obey.
and the man who is looking for a
perfectly obedient wife is about a
hundred and nifty years too late to
find her Women have minds OF

it until she asks her husbands
permission, the other lady smiles
wisely, and knows that the party
of the first part is simply using
polite substitute to get out of do
ing something that she doesn't
want to do.
W ny should a man want his wife
TO obey him? Is it his desire to hui
initiate her? For no matter how
much affection you may have for a
person there is sting in obedi-
ence because it is the outward trib
ute that we pay to our superiors.
This is so well recognized that even
employers put their commands in
the form of requests 1t may soothe
mans vanity to have his wife
continually visualize her depend
ence on him, and her humility be-
fore him, by asking his permission
to do things, but he may be very
sure that in her heart of hearts
she hates him, and recognizes him
for the petty household tyrant he
is.
There should be no obedience as
between husbands and wives. If
woman hasn't enough gray matter
in her head to decide things for
herself, she isn't fit to be mans
wife. And in matters affecting her
self surely a grown, mature, sensi-
bic woman is more fitted TO decide
them than even the most inspired
man could be. In household affairs
and things pertaining to the up
bringing of the children. the wom-
ans technical knowledge of the sit
uation, her daily experience. her
devotion, and the mother love that
even in a dull woman is almost
the inspiration of genius. fit her
to be the one to sit in the judg-
ment seat, and give orders. If
there are to be any orders in the
family.
Men Recognize This.
To their credit the great major
ity Of men recognize this and are
incapable of the meauness and
smallness Of desiring the wives who
are their companions and partners
10 obey them. II is only the man
with soul the size OF a pin point
that demands that his wife shall
be an obodieut slave to him There
can he no better test Of whether

"A regular monthly meeting of the

who were out of the village. Bids
for the installation of two sanitary
fountains in the school were received
from Mankato plumbing firms. the
bids were on: a number Of styles and
sizes at various prices. After much
discussion of the merits, ETC., of each
the wall basin with two spouters
was finally. selected as best adapted
to the needs and the contract to
supply these and do all plumbing in
connection Herewith was awarded
to p. H.. McGraw, who agreed ia
have the fountains put in before the
school opens after the present holi
day vacation. Mr.. McGraw, accord.
ing to agreement. will supply galvan-

When the work Is completed the
school will be we'll provided with

board feels justified in having village
water installed in the school as a
safeguard to the health of the chill
lren.
The matter of adopting the coin

ther discussion but as two of the
members of the board were absent
it was decided to take final action
at a future meeting when all mem

proposition to replace building and
heating plant from two local con

one or these was $4,000 and the
other $4,000, outhouses and heating
plant included. The board further
discussed the advisability of increas.
ing the insurance from $lS;500,, now
carried, to $4,000, required in or

The cost of the additional insurance
required will, it is said, make the
total cost Of the insurance but little

sentiment of the board is apparently
