DR.. Frank Edmondson, of Frank Ed
mondson < Brother, Wholesale and
Retail Druggists, Atlanta, Ga:
In the twenty five years that l have
been in the drug business I have never
sold a remedy that gave such universal
satisfaction as Nuxcara for indigestion
and dyspepsia. We have had an i'm
mense sale of it and have never had a
dissatisfied customer. 1t cures every
case, and everyone who has used it
speaks of it in the highest terms.

pleasing results. and can heartily recon-
mend it to be all that is claimed for il.

been refreshed by a new insight into our
own life.
I'VE see that IN many things that life
is very great. 1t is incompaIably great
in its material aspects. in its body OF
wealth. in the diversity and sweep Of
its energy. in the industries which have
been conceived and built up by the
genius of individual men and the limit
less enterprise Of groups of men. 1t is
great. also. very great, in its moral
force. Nowhere else in the world have
noble men and women exhibited in more
striking forms the beauty and the en-
ergy of sympathy and helpfulness and
counsel in their efforts to rectify wrong.

long age as IN many respects a model
for those who seek to set liberty upon
foundations that will endure against
fortuitous change, against storm and ac-
cident. Our life contains every great
thing and contains it In rich abundance.
Did Not Count Cost.
But the evil has come with the good.
and much fine gold has been corroded.
With riches has come inexcusable waste.
We have sQuandered a great part of what
We might have used, and have not stop
ped to conserve the exceeding bounty Of
nature. without which our genius for
enterprise would have been worthless
and impotent, scorning to be careful,
shamefully prodical as well as admirably
efficient. We have been proud of our
industrial ACHIEVEMENTS, but We have not
hitherto stopped thoughtfully enough 10

snufred out, of energies overtaXed and
broken. the fearful physical and spiritual
cost to the men and women and children
upon whom the dead weight and burden
OF it all has fallen pitilessly the Years
through. The groans and agony of it
all had not yet reached our ears. the
solemn, moving undertone of our life,
coming up out of the mines and factories
and out of every home where the struggle
had its intimate and familiar seat. With
the great government went many deep
secret things which We too long delayed
to look into and scrutinize with candid,
fearless eyes. The great government We
loved has too often been made use of
private and selfish purposes, and those
who use it had forgotten the people.
AT last a vision has been vouch-
safed us Of our life as whole. We
see the bad with the good. the deba sed
and decadent with the sound and vital.
With this vision we approach new af-
fairs. Our duty Is to cleanse. TO recon-
slider. TO restore. TO correct 0he evil
without impalring the good. to purify
and humanize every process OF our

work of restoration.
We have itemized with some degree
OF particularly the things that ought
to be altered and here are some of the
chief items: A tariff which cuts of

Some Reasons Why We Oppose Votes for Women

Because the suffrage is not question of
right or of justice, but of policy and expedi
ency; and if there is no question of right or
of justice, there is no case for woman suffrage.
BECAUSE IT IS THE DEMAND OF
A MINORITY OF WOMEN, AND THE
MAJORITY OF WOMEN PROTEST
AGAINST IT.
Because the great advance of women in the
last century-moral, intellectual, and economic
has been made without the vote; which goes
to prove that it is not needed for their further
advancement along the same lines.
Because women now stand outside of poll
tics, and therefore are free to appeal to any
party in matters of education, charity, and re-
form.
Because the ballot has not proved cure-a
The Washington herald., 1913-03-05

for existing evils with men, and we find no
reason to assume that it would be more eftec-
tual with women
Because the basis of government is force
its stability rests upon its physical power to
enhance its laws therefore it is inexpedient to
give the vote to women. Immunity from serv-
ice in executing the law would make most
women irresponsible voters. -
Because our present duties fill up the whole
measure of our time and ability, and are such
as none but ourselves can perform. Our ap-
probation of their importance requires us to
protest against all efforts to infringe upon our
rights BY imposing upon us those obligations
which cannot be separated from suffrage, and
which, as we think, cannot be performed by
us without the sacrifice of the highest interests
of our families and OF society.
The Washington herald., 1913-03-05

sentimentalizing it. There has been
something crude and heartless and un-
feeling in our haste to succeed and be
great. Our thought has been Let
every man look out for himself; let
every generation look out for itself.
while we reared giant machinery which
made 1t impossible that any but those
who stood at the levers Of control
should have a chance to look out for
themselves. We had not forgotten our
morals. We remembered we'll enough
that we had set up a policy which was
meant to serve the humblest as well as
the most powerful, with an eye single
to the standards of justice and fair
play, and remembered il with pride.
But we were very needless and in
hurry to be great.

we have come now to the sober
second thought. The scales of heed
lessness have fallen from our eyes.
We have made up our minds to square
every process of our national life again

1T means much more than the mere
success of a party. The success of a
party means little except when the ma
ton is using that party for a large and
definite purpose. No one can mistake the
purpose for which the nation now seeks
to use the Democratic party. 1t seeks
Il use it TO interpret a change in its own
plans and point Of view. Some old

TESTED BY ITS FRUITS

No laws have been placed upon the statute
books under an electorate of men and women
that are not paral!eled by laws equally good,
if not better, in States where only iiien vote.
A duplication of the vote has not accom-
plished any definite results for good.
The child labor laws of those States where
women do not vote are in advance OF those
where women do vote, and there is abundant
proof from suffrage authority to uphold this
statement. Dr. McKelway is authority for the
statement that in 1912 the child labor law OF
Massachusetts, was the best in the country.
