US. BLIND TO BAR
MRS. PANKHURST'
Mrs, 0. H. P. Belmont Also De-
cIares Militant Made Monkeys
Out of Statesmen.

NEW YORK, Sept. 20.-"If the
United State immigration authorities
attempt to bar Mrs. Emmeline Pank-
hurst from this country, they will be
displaying woeful ignorance and mar
row -mindedness.
This statement was made o-day by
Mrs. o. II. P. Belmont, at whose home
the famous militant suffragette will
stay while in New York. Continuing
Mrs. Belmont said:
Mrs Pankhurst IL the most won
dertul woman in the world o-6ay.
When was in Paris, saw her daily.
She and her daughters show such
pluck and courage as never con-
templated before. Thsy have made
monkeys out of the strongest and
most famous statesmen in England.
They have made the English Govern
ment and King George the laughing
stock of the world.
why, the other day Premier As
quith was attacked on the golf links
by some militants, and it took six
teen detectives to rescue him Wasn't
that glorious? He was afraid to ap-
pear in court against them and
wouldn't prefer charges, The clowns
in Parliament who are opposing wom-
an suffrage viii soon find themselves
in a tickhsh position before the pep
pie, as suffrage is bound to come,
and that quickly"

WARNING ON MILK
BY STATE BUREAU
Commissioner Of Agriculture Price
Inaugurates Campaign for
Wholesome Supply in City,

Pure-milk "don'ts" are being issued
by James ID. Price, Georgia Commits
sioner of Agriculture, in the effort TO
obtain a generally safe and whole
some milk supply The first promul-
cation by the department is a bulletin
of instruction to dealers and producers
who thus, it is announced, may be
kept from violation OF the law,
Much of the bulletin contains tech
meal information, relative 10 percent
age Of fat, bacteria count and tenn
perature. But much of It, on the other
hand. is a direct, plainly Ineligible
warning against careless handling,
filth and uncovered vessels.
The most emphatic don't Of all
concerns visible cleanliness Of milk
Don't allow slight dirt MIX
should always be kept clean" states
the bulletin. In reports from the
State laboratory, the report OF slight
dirt is not infrequent II this report
OF slight dirt comes back constantly
II indicates carelessness. All dirt can
not be strained from milk, and the
only remedy is to prevent the dirt
from getting into the milk rather than
trying to remove il"
The danger arising from bacteria in
milk is emphasized, and attention is
called to the fact that typhoid fever,
tuberculosis, diphtheria, scarlet fever
and other dangerous diseases are In
many instances traced TO impure milk.
"A high bacterial count will be
found II the milk has become badly
contaminated with filth, If It is kept
too warm, and IL it is too old" states
the bulletin. "A high bacterial count,
therefore, indicates either excessive
temperature, excessive contamination
or excessive age, or a combination of
these factors. If the bacterial count
is high, persistently so, 1t indicates
that something is wrong
Apart from temperature, unsteril-
ICED milk vessels are probably the
greatest factor in producing a high
count If the dairyman has no live
steam at hand, he should do as well
as he can with hot water, and should
take occasion as frequently as posi-
Bile 10 get his milk vessels steTilized.
THE legal standard of fat in this
State is 1926 per cent. If the farmer
has COWS that give a poorer grade
than 3.25 per cent, he should get rid
OF them at once, since they are I'M
profitable"
1t is likely that other bulletins on
this subject will be issued, in a sort
of series. Subsequent messages will
be directed to consumers of milk.

BILL ENDS SLAVERY
IN THEPHILIPPINES
Revelation of Sale Of Humans on
Islands Leads to Action
in Senate.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 2O-Aboli-
ton of slavery In the Philippines will
be urged in a bill under preparation
by Senator Borah, Of Idaho
THE revelation Of a human price
list of $50 for children 3 years old $50
for those Of IA and 500 for adults
needs immediate remedial legisla-
ton" announced Senator Borah to-
day. Il shall introduce a bill which
will aim to wipe out slavery Of every
kind in the Philippines in the near flu
ture.
There Is no need for an investiga-
ton Of these conditions. Time should
not be wasted in such proceedings.
The report of Auditor Phipps proves
conclusively that slavery exists"
The startling disclosures OF the re-
port of w. Fl. Phipps. auditor Of The
Philippines, filed to-day moved other
members OF Congress and Govern
ment officials to predict speedy action
on any legislation drafted TO abolish
slavery in the Philippines.
Senator BOral stated that he would
introduce his bill at the present ses-
sion OF Congress and urge its passage
Immediately, Failing in this, efforts
viii be made TO push the measure to
enactment early in the regular session
or Congress IN December.
Mr.. Phipps, in his report to the War
Department, says:
The universal reports made to me
by each person who had been asked TO
investigate was that slavery in some
form exists to his personal knowledge
and that It might be stated that the
practice is universal in the Philip
pines"
Phipps charges that Filipino women
are sold to Chinese as wives: that IL
is a common practice for the Negrito
Fi!ipinOs and the hill classes gener-
ally to sell girls into slavery, and that
the excuse offered is that these slave
boys and girls are adopted" into the
families of their masters.
One of the inspectors reported to
Phipps that every Negrito servant Ia
his district had been bought; that the
purchase was made when the slave
was very young, and that many OF
such slaves We're extremely old"
1t is asserted in the report that the
price for a child or a girl ranges from
60 pesos (about $500 up to $50,

erners. we have our regard for the
doctrine OF States rights.
But of course. we want the ballot,
and failing its grant by the State, we
should look to the constitutional
amendment the prospect of the pass
age of which through Congress is
bright"
1t is this sentiment that is the es-
sence of a letter which has been sign
ed by leading suffragists in the diff
ferent Southern States. and sent to
each Southern Governor. Mrs. Nc
Tendon displayed the letter, Of which
she is one of the signers.
Ask Governors to Meeting.
I'VE are asking the Governors of
the Southern States to meet with US
in New Orleans, where a convention
of the Suffrage Workers Of the South
will be held November 10 and H."
The letter is:
MY Dear Governor: The under
signed women of the Southern States,
on the part of the suffragists of their
respective States, earnestly request the
Governors of the Southern States or
their representatives, to meet them in
conference in New Orleans, November
10-11, to discuss and adopt a uniform
plan Of action for the adoption of
woman suffrage in the South.
I'VE are united in the belief that
suffrage is a State right and that the
power to define g. States electorate
should remain in the executive right of
the State. However, we recognize
that woman suffrage is no longer a
theory to be debated but q condition
to be met. The inevitable votes for
women is a world movement, and un-
less the South squarely faces the is
sue and takes steps to preserve the
State right the force of public opin-
ion Will make it mandatory through
National Constitutional Amend
ment.
In fact, the National Council of
Voters, consisting of enfranchised
women, has for its object the infiu-
encing of national legislation to Sc
cure the ballot for the women who
have not yet received 1t. While as
Southerners we wish to see the power
Of the State retained, yet as women
we are equally determined to secure
as Oh paramount importance the right
which is the birthright of an Ameri-
can citizen.
Responsibility on Men.
I'VE, therefore, appeal to yougentle-
men vested with the power to so large
ly shape conditions, to confer with us
and influence public opinion to adopt
woman suffrage through State action.
Failing to accomplish this, the onus
Of responsibility will rest upon the
men of the South, If Southern women
are forced to support national
amendment, weighted with the same
objections as the Fifteenth Amend
ment.
Hoping for an early and favorable
response

Miss Koch. I'VE are seeking always
for the truth.
Certainly women of the South
would never indorse Mrs. Pankhurst's
militant methods. For one thing, ii
would not be necessary, as our men
are not like the men of England. The
situation is different"
Mrs e. A. Matthews, Of Washing

frage work in Atlanta and through
the State, would be glad to see Mrs
Pankhurst in Atlanta.
All for Same Cause.
she is working for the same cause,
and is the braVest fighter for that
cause" she said. Without indorsing
the extreme methods Of the British
suffragists, we should gladly welcome
the opportunity to pay tribute to the
most interchangeable and fearless work

story.
Her appearance, too, would help
the cause, attracting attention to II
