show that majority of them want
the suffrage-are willing to under
take the additional duties that go
with the suffrage-then the National
Association Opposed to Woman
Suffrage will close its doors, since
the principles and Constitution of
this government compel compliance
with such demand.
LAS matter of fact, the highest
authentic claims Of the suffragists
indicate that less than 10 per cent
of the women Of this country are
in sympathy with the movement; /;
and since the membership of their
organization is not limited to wO-
men of 2i years of age and over,
the percentage of women of voting
age who demand the ballot is much
less than 10 per cent. Those fig
ures based on suffrage claims have
never been successfully contradict
ed, and suffragists tacitly admit
their numerical inferiority by their
opposition to plebiscite of wo-
men, which the anti-suffragists are
urging.
Even the claim that there are
100000 women already voting in
the United States is no proof Of suf-
frage adherence. For, while there
are 100000 women of voting age in
the suffrage states, less than IS per
cent of them register and vote.
by what right can those who
want the vote, unless they are in
the majority, ask that the respon-
sibilities of the electorate be forced
upon those who are either hostile
or listless?

GLORY OF DOING WITHOUT.

Dan Crawford is writing book,
the subtitle Of which is The Glory
Of Doing without" II will be a
book worth reading. for Dan Craw-
ford knows what IL is to do with
not" He has done without for
twenty-five years away in the AZ
rican jungle. Dan Crawford. for
81 everybody familiarly calls him,
-,is a bearded Scotchman traveller,
missionary. discoyerer. idealist, +.
RIGS, and lot more. He knows
And here is what he says upon his
return after twenty-five years OF
exile:
For twenty-five years have been
without collar. For twenty-five
years | have been eating without
knife or fork. For twenty-five
years have been thousand miles
from a shop. Try to get my point
of view. Practically all my life ]
have been cut of from all manner
Of things called supply. The nearest
store was one thousand miles away.
And | have had good time"
OF course, collars and knives and
forks are more in demand in Ameri-
ca than in Africa, but the meat Of
Dan Crawford's message is in the
last sentence: Il have had good
time" Even while doing without
he had "a good time"
This is very good gospel for this
age and this country. Much OF the
high cost Of living, of social unrest
of marital misery and the many
other ills Of the body polite are
due to our failure to do without
while seeking a good time. Men and
women who cannot have a good
time while doing without"-well,
there's something wrong with them.

in many instances remained worn
out. The land has been increasing
in value all the time but much Of 1t
not all of it--has been decreasing
in productivity. In every county
except one the land increased in
value during the last census dec
ade: in one county il increased
about 400 per cent. There are many
farmers who have improved the soil
so that il produces more and more
each year, but not enough farmers
have done this to keep the people
as a whole from spending millions
of dollars every year for food sup
plies not produced in sufficient
quantities in the region.
Now here is the problem boiled
down: A rapidly increasing popula-
tion to be fed and clothed, and a
rapidly decreasing source of re-
venue, game gone, timber gone, ran
ges largely taken up, the timber
that once produced the most for
stock food cut away, mineral rights
sold in most places. much of the
land worn to non-produotivity by
improper cultivation. All this
and a population increasing at the
rate of IS per cent in ten years.
This increasing population must
have an increased supply of food,

say no, in her behalf, not contend
ing however that she does not
appreciate the job but who would
not for she does appreciate it
most highly but Acworth further
knows that the bulk of her trade
and traffic does not come to her
over this great highway but over
the cross country routes and the
same may be and | presume is said of
the other towns in the county,
to wit Powder Springs, Austell,
Smyrna, Kennesaw and Roswell
and What has been done for these
towns on their across the country
roads say practically nothing.
But what has Marietta had?
say practically all and it has been
paid for and the county is not
near broke as Mr.. Hardeman
would have you believe.
Taking figures from the last re-
port of the Grand-Jmy at the
March term of court we find the
outstanding indebtedness of the
county to be $13,739,02. We find
from the same report property
belonging to the county individ-
ually consisting of mules, road
machinery Of all kinds and de
scriptions, "a acre plot of ground in
the town of Marietta and other prop
erty too numerous to mention to
the amount of %36.925.00 not
mentioning the other property
belonging to the county.
Now this does not look like a
business that was broke or liable
to break from the fact that the
taxes for this year yet to collect
amount to practically S5,000,00
While we will admit that the tax
rate is high and take the county
tax IN connection with the city
tax of Marietta where free labor
jobs as Mr. Hardeman says has
got them in bad state of affairs
| expect it is a little bit tough
but we do not expect to get
something for nothing. Anything
that does not cost much cannot
be worth much. We did not ex-
pect to come with the commiss
toner's and convert roads as if by
magic. They are bound to cost
something and cost more with
free labor under Mr.. Hardeman S
plan than any way you might
start now.
Mr.. Hardeman says hire man
at $50 a month in each militia
district, there being - districts

quite amused at the personality

1t is a little curious and not so
little either that the very crowd
doing the bowling now was the
forefathers of the commission
form Of government for this
county and what for and why
1 will attempt to advance few
ideas. In the first place Marietta
decided some five years ago that
she needed aud was bound to
have the roads leading into this
place graded and Macadamized
or top soiled and what was the
plan to have a commission form
OF government, work our con
vets, tax the people and complete
The job. This they have about
completed or will do before they
can go through the red tape
route to get rid Of the whole
thing and drop back to the old
plan of free labor and no roads

want to say that not all nor
near all the people of Marietta
agree or will agree to this crowd
OF greed, that is what | will call
1t for ! cannot make anything
else out Of it.. The act that most
substantiates this fact in my mind
is from the simple fact that Mar

over for her special benefit the
entire road working crew for the

centration of energies necessary to
this end can only be brought about
by ready means of communication;
Of the producer with his market, of
preacher with the members of his
congregation. of the merchant with
his customers, and of all the people
with one another.
And this can only be achieved
by the consistent improvement of
the universal channels of communi
cation-the public highways. Ev-
cry class OF people has its own ar
gurnent for better roads; each oc-
cupation can define it's own reQuir=

lities for transportation; but it is
the task Of statesmen to 50 CORE

benefits OF fuller and Ireer inter-
course, each, with the others, shall
lead to the satisfaction and tram

can the functions of government
