Gertrude Atherton Returns
From Munich to FRISCO to
Exercise Ballot Right.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 7.---Gertrude
Anterior, the novelist, today proudly
admitted that she had travelled 5000
miles in order to vote. at the presiden-
tial election.
II would be in Munich now for the
music If full citizenship had not been
granted to the women of California,
she said. LAS soon as I knew last year
that California women had been en-
franchised I resolved that nothing
should prevent me from casting my
first presidential vote this year.
80 came here from Munich and the
first thing I did upon arriving was to
register. I shall remain here until No
vember. l miss the music of Munich,
but it is better to be a good citizen"
Although Mrs. Atherton calls herself
"a citizen of the world" her home is in
California. When she was here last
year she joined the College Equal Fran
chise league and took great interest in
the campaign for votes for women.
81 regret to find" said Mrs Atherton,
that the women of San Francisco are
neglecting the privilege of citizenship
which they enjoy. They can not be too
severely criticised for this.
why, look at the women Of Eng
land. They are quite willing to suffer
tortures in jail over and over again,
or to die, for the right of suffrage.
'The women of New York-thousands
and thousands of them-look to Cali
fornia with longing because here the
women have their inestimable boon
equal suffrage"

His Is Real Fight for Congress
RACE NO JOKE
Macon Lawyer Shows Voters
He Really Means to Go to
Washington.

When John Randolph Cooper, well
known Macon lawyer announced him
self a candidate for congress from the
Sixth district some folks laughed and
thought it a good joke on Cooper
Now, after Cooper has been in the
race several months and the hot cam
paign is drawing to a close these same
folks don't know whether it is joke
on Cooper or not.
The congressman holding down the
job from the Sixth district is c. l..
Bartlett, also a Macon lawyer, and he
has been holding down the job for
eighteen years. Cooper said Bartlett
had held it long enough and it was
time for him to retire or be retired In
asmuch as Bartlett had no intention
of retiring, Cooper got busy to get him
retired,
He has made d whirlwind campaign
and says he viii keep it up until the
date for the primary. He has told the
voters frankly that he was not urged
to make the race by a multitude Of
friends. as most of those seeking office
would say. He says nobody asked him
to run: that he just wants the job and
has always had an ambition to repre-
sent his folks in the halls of congress.
Cooper a Real Fighter.
He is fighter. too, is John Randolph
Cooper. He can use his fists as well as
he can fight through every court in the
land for a client. He doesn't know
what it is to quit. He worked his way
and fought his way through the Uni
versity of Georgia. He played football
there, and they say he was as much of
a bulldog In that game as he was In
other games of life.
He had to fight when he began prac-
ticing law in Macon. Some people rid =
iculed Cooper and thought he was a
joke. So one day he thought he'd show
them thing or two and he did it by
throwing another lawyer out of a court
room window.
After that folks quit fooling with
Cooper.
Cooper specialized in criminal law,
and for the past ten or fifteen years he
has been connected with most of the
noted criminal cases In Georgia and a
few other states of the South. He is
known in Washington, d, c., almost as
we'll as he is known here, for when he
fails to get action for a client in the
courts here he beats It to Washington
with some new legal point
He took the famous Rawlings case
there time or two and 1t nearly broke
his heart when he wrote old man Raw
lings and told him to prepare to NEE,
his God. He confessed to the old mar
that all hope had gone But he saved
old man Rawlings three sons and after
five years work he was made happy
when Governor Hoke Smith pardoneG
two of them. Cooper always has been
firm in his belief that the three boys
had no hand in the bloody Lowndes
county work and he does not think old
man Rawlings was mentally RESPONSE
Bile for his share in it,
1t is said that nobody ever got Coop

SWATTING FLIES is T
MURDER, DECLARES
PASTOR IN SERMON

DENVER, Aug 7.-Swatting flies is
murder; the cabbage has the same right
to live as man; plants are conscious; it
is a sin to kill an egg; only nuts and ripe
fruit are legitimate food for man; real
ization of this truth will be the next ad-
vance beyond simple vegetarianis1n.
These are some of the statements made
by the Rev. DIR. Prather in his sermon at
the Second Church of Divine Science in
this city.
Flies, bedbugs. 1eas and other verrnin
all have their proper places in the world
They can be expelled from our homes by
proper mental attitude, said Dr. Pra-
Their. He admits that he still kills vege-
tables for food, but explains that he has
not reached the spiritual level that en-
ables him to practice his theories.

UnclelSam Will
Control the Canal

Washington, Aug 29--Although the
state department will authorize no
statement To that effect. it is under
stood here that the administration viii
decline to permit the question of the
right of the United States to relieve
its own shipping from tolls in the
Panama canal to go to arbitration.
While the British protest delivered.
yesterday. clearly indicated Il purpose
to demand an arbitratai decision in
the event more careful study of the
Panama canal tolls act bore out the
impression conveyed by the first read
ing, that it vitiates the Hay Paunce-
fote treaty, if the usual course in
diplomatic exchange is followed many
arguments and counter arguments
must be submitted before the re-
sources of diplomacy are exhausted.
The British foundation for such de-
mand rests upon the broad basis oil
two special treaties between America
and Great Britain in addition to the
creation of The Hague tribunal The
first of these treaties, the Hay
Pauncefote treaty, in its third article
declares that there shall be no dis
elimination against any of the nations
obeying the rules of the canal and its
fourth article asserts no change of
territorial sovereignty shall affect the
obligation of America and Great Brit
ain under the treaty.
The second special treaty that made
between the then Secretary Root and
Amba ssador Bryce. four years ago binds
each country TO submit to The Hague
tribunal any difference that may arise
relating to the Interpretation of trea-
ties. provided they do not affect the
vital interests. the independence. or the
honor" of the parties.
From the American viewpoint there are
many loopholes for escape from the Brit
ish contention.
