To Vote Is a Duty, Not a Privilege
BY THE REV. G. F. AKED, DID, IL. D.

MO citizen has a right to stay
VI away from the polls. The
sin of doing nothing Is the
deadlest Of the seven deadly sins.
We can no more neglect the plain
duties of citizenship than we can
refuse to pay our debts. Indeed,
the discharge of the duties OF
citizenship is in essence the pay
meut Of a debt, a debt the more
sacred because one which only
honor can enforce. our comfort
our safety, our liberty, the edu-
cation of our children, the we'll
being of the home, the priceless
boons of religion, have been won
for us by the unhonored toll OF
the obscure, the silent and the
dead II is dishonest TO accept
and enjoy blessing for which we
have not labored while refusing
to contribute a share of unselfish
service to the common stock. A
man who can say, Il am not
interested in politics" and means
by this that he is not interested
in the good government Of his
city, ought to be ashamed of him
self.
It is pleasant to observe how
the salvation of American cities
proceeds apace, In 1895 | was A
guest in the home of Major
Bond. the most famous OF Amer
lean lecture agents l observed
that the drinking water on the ia
Bile was from Michigan or Mary
land or somewhere else, and in
my untraveled Ignorance l asked:
Have you no waterworks in Jer-
sey City?" His answer staggered
me. Il came like a blow in the
chest. To this hour l recall the
impression made upon me by his
calm, matter of-fact reply: "Of
course But you see, every city in
America has been run by thieves"
This was eighteen years ago.
There is not a man or woman In
America who will assert to-day
that all our cities are run by
thieves"

Challenge Of the City" was pub
lished in 1907. He quotes what he
describes as warning of James
Bryce. He says that a few years
ago as a company of Americans
were about to sail for the United
States Mr.. Bryce said to them:
"Go back to your splendid world
across the sea: but don't you
make failure of It. You can not
so on 25 years more in your great
cities as you have been doing.
will, set us Liberals back in Eu-
rope 500 years"
This may or may not be a fair
report OF Mr.. Bryce's words. But
In his own monumental "Ameri-
can Commonwealth" the problems
OF city government are discussed
at length. The new and revised
edition OF 1910 repeats the ter
rible summing UP of the original
work published % years before:
There is no denying that the
government OF cities is the one
conspicuous failure OF the United
States"
None the less Mr.. Bryce re-
fuses to take a pessimistic view
of the future, His final words
upon the subject are:
"All this Is discouraging Yet
no one who studies the munich
pal history of the last decades
will doubt that things are better
than they were rs years ago. The
newer frames of government are
an Improvement upon the older.
Rogues are less audacious. Good
citizens are more active. Party
spirit is still permitted to domi-
nate and pervert municipal poll
cies, yet the mischief il does is
more clearly 6iscerned, and the
number of those who resist ii
daily increases. In the increase
of that number and the growth
Of a stronger sense OF civic duty
mechanism lies the ultimate hope
for the reform of city govern
ments."

Victories of Violence Are Transient
By Ebert HUBBARD

TTERE is thought, penned in
kindness, for Mi-Lady Mil
liant by one who believes in
her Cause, but who deprecates
her methods.
The victories of violence are
transient
Things done in hate have to be
done all over
And she who smears hand-rails
with tar, puts muriatic acid into
mail boxes, places bombs in an
art gallery, burns hay barns,
smashes windows. defies the po-
lice, and is taken to Jail must
face the consequences of her mis-
deeds, just as if she were a male
man.
Two wrongs do not make a
right.
Even though the woman wins
by violence, her victory is bought
at the price of her womanhood.
Righteous wrath is often an
excuse for a bad temper.
Hatred of the wrong soon yields
diminishing return.
We become like the thing we
hate--aye, more, we are the thing
we hate,
Mi-Lady Militant hates the
tyranny of the male. Granting
that this tyranny exists, it has
grown up out of the centuries,
and has been fixed in the ages by
usage. 1t was old when Abraham
bartered with Laban for Rachel,
and was a habit when Ruth
cleaned the fields of Boaz.
American women have been
wise In not resorting to militant
methods.
Fighting men acquire the fight
ing face.
The termagant grows to look
the part.
Her dominant attitude becomes
one of superCilious contempt, not
love. Eventually she Is unloving,
unlovely and unlovable, and the
fighting attitude. continued, will
disrupt any home, for when fight
ing becomes a habit, an excuse
for fighting is easily found.
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1913-11-18

Carlyle hated the wrong; EN-
erson loved the good. Which man
would you prefer for a neighbor
need not be asked.
The persistence of Mi-Lady
Militant and her perfect willing
ness to sacrifice herself for the
good of the Cause is beautiful just
in the degree that you admire
martyrdom.
But please remember that mar
tyr and prosecutor shift places
with lightning rapidity.
He who is willing to suffer and
die for a cause will make you
suffer and die for the same cause
if he gets the chance.
Law protects the life and prop
erty of women, but not so much
as it should.
This applies also, in degree, to
men.
But to repudiate the law, be-
cause the law does not do all it
might, and resort to anarchy in
order to win a legal victory, is
playing the part of mental de-
feCtive or a minor.
Harm must follow such tactics,
since it supplies in itself an ar
gument why women should not be
allowed to help make laws The
ability to abide by the law is the
test of fitness for citizenship. Be-
fore you are fit to give orders
you must show your ability to
take them.
To shoot up the law is no bet
ter than TO shoot up the court
house. If incendiarism is right,
where shall it cease?
The fact that a woman is a
woman does not license the crime
of arson, nor make window
smashing part of holy war.
Great reforms require great pa
thence on the part of those VINO
would bring reformation about.
When you ask for a voice in the
making of government, your
voice must not be keyed too high,
lest, mayhap, YOU inspire fear as
to what may happen when you
ACQUIRE the power for which you
seek

And gone forever from the lips that burned;
There lie more that can be newly urned
No vintage half so rare Is ever found.
The glass Is broken into brittle bits.
Scattered upon the dusty banquet floor;
The empty bottle over the door
Is cobwebsealed where the gray spider fits,
The garlands srotesquely dead and dry
AS mummied tresses in ancient tomb;
Like ghostly sheets they rustic in the gloom
When memory's searching zephyrs hurry by.

Bv IOHN TEMPLE GRAVES

TT HE return Of William r.
McCombs from Paris with
the rejected French AM
bassa dorship on his hands brings
once more to the front the prac-
teal exclusion Of high class
Americans from important diplo-
matte posts unless they are rich
men.
Mr.. McCombs is not now in
position to be compelled to de-
cline the French Ambassadorship,
but it is an open secret among
his friends that his essential rea-
son in the beginning for refusing
this dazzling honor was because
the salary of $17,5O0, Joined to his
own income, was not deemed suf-
ficent for him to fill this place &C
ceptably
In other words, through a long
process of elevating rich men to
foreign missions, we have come o
to the sorry pass that no Amer
lean of whatever social or moral
caliber either can or thinks he
can represent the interests of his
country at the seat of a Euro
pean Government upon yearly
income of $4,000!
Dollar" Diplomacy.
Our boosted democracy is
sham so long as this condition of
affairs Is permitted to exist in
our diplomatic history.
This Is the real discreditable
dollar diplomacy Of to-day. 1t
is the diplomacy that is not per-
mitted to exist at all unless it has
a surplus of dollars to gid its
existence.
I do not intend to reflect upon
any American holding a foreign
post under our Government to-
day. But l distinctly challenge
the records that for two decades
the multi dollar has been well
nigh the indispensable prerequi-
site of the foreign Ambassadors
and Ministers Of our country. l
have in mind more than one of
these in time past who had no
other possible qualification for
international diplomacy beyond
the capacity to spend an ample
income lavishly in the gilded pal
aces Of Europe Men absolutely
without training or natural gifts
have been rewarded for personal
political service by these most
representative positions in all our
Government.
The Present Purpose.
l honestly believe that 1t was
the purpose and desire of the
present Administration to destroy
as far as possible this money ba-
