THE LORDS "sUFFRAGETTEs."

%The next delegatiOn of the fair
sex Will be in May, when the Meth
Odist suffragettes of the Lord will
be in our Mfdst."
The editor is the recipient of an
inkling to the effect that the foregoing
short innocent-like, unimposing para
graph in last weeks Democrat was
resented by the Ladies Aid society OF
the Methodist church. We are in
formed that these ardent workers for
the upbuilding of, Gods kingdom did
the M~ethodists, but thought it sacrileg-
ious to have the word ~suffragette ap-
pearing in connection with the name
of the Hord.
This reference to the Methodist
sunragettes" was not i'll designed; no,
rot in the least, and we regret ex-
ceedingly that the lear sisters took
such a refined or strained view of the
expression. They must admit that
tanes are changing and that we must
adapt our language as well as our
selves to the rapidly shifting condi-
ticns.
On consulting Mr.. Webster, undis-
prted authority, we are informed that
a sunragette is a woman who believes
IL woman.s suffrage and the word
ST ffrage carries such definitions as aid,
help, assistance, relief, etc., and in it's
ecclesiastical reference goes so far
as to use the following as ~interces-

to hear us, good Lord"

EDITORIAL OBSERVATIONS.
(Contrfbuted.)

The greatest difficulty our farmers
are facing today is the scarcity Of Ia
Dor. He is no longer plagued with
trif1ing prices for his products. Yet, a
small coterie of theorists, who know
little of practical farming and care
less, would have the farmers believe
that they are not getting a square deal,
and that the State will soon 70 to the
bcw-wows unless some ac-
ton is taken at once to remedy con-
~ditions." Did you ever hear the like
in all your life? But the average far
mer these days is not going to become
excited over small matters. He be-
lieves in letting well enough alone.
q 4
Something like two years ago Sen
ator Simmons vas accused of violating
platform pledges in come Of the votes
he cast on the Payne-Aldrich tariff
bill. Now we have the unusual priv
f'ege" of witnessing a democratic pres
ident of the country insisting upon
dIsregarding a provision OF the plat
form upon which he was nominated
and elected. Verify, times do change
and men change with them. Leader
Underwood declares platform pledges
should be lived up to; the President
does not think so: And there you are.
1t is not probable that the Demo-
cratic State convention is going to be
intimidated by demands from self-con-
stituted bodies responsible only to
themselves for consequence that may
follow the acceptance of their conclu-
sions. OF course, it will give duo
consideration to all matters of public
import without regard to the source,
which suggestions may eminate.
The Democratic State Executive
Committee met in Raleigh on Tuesday
evening of last week and changed the
date for the State convention from
June 21st to Thursday, June 4th. This
will afford ample time between the
county conventions and the State as
.sembly of the unterrifod for delegates
to make arrangements for the trip to |

colnton. AS stated in last weeks
Democrat, a number or the citizens OF
Hendersonville have shown remarks
Bile nberality in this important work
end a few have made themselves un-
usually active in order to secure The
cooperation of the citizens in infu-
eucing Miss Shipp and associates to
bring the school here IN preference to
other cities, some of which have made
very attractive offers.
The Importance of helping to raise
the small amount of money required
to assure this school for this city is
e1ouuent1y set forth in the appeal Of
the Rev. R. N. Wilcox on the front
pageEof the Democrat.
1t is extremely important that Hen
Jacksonville get this school for it will
undoubtedly be the f~orerunner of fully
as great or greater accomplishments.
AS one of the business men of the
city aptly remarked, IF we don't get
this school we just as well fold our
hands and quit, for a very small
united effort will now bring big re-
turns"
If. every man who would reap direct
Eeturns from the establishment of this
school in Hendersonville would put his
shoulder to the wheel the burden
would not be felt in the least mi the
returns within the next few years
would be many fold.
H~endersonville cannot afford to dis I
miss this matter with an Indifferent
attitude as it would take fully a de-
cade for the business men who have
worked diligently and untiringly Cor
the school, even to the extent of MAX
ing personal sacrifices, to recover from
the depressing and discouraging eff,
fects that would inevitably result from
failure in what is undoubtedly the
most ptodigious issue with which we
have been confronted for some time.
The majority of the business and
professional men of Hendersonville
can without making a very great sac
rifice emulate the good example of
those who have subscribed to this
cause and readily assure this city an
1ucational institution of which she
would have ample reason to feel justly
proud.
When you are visited by the com
mittee which will solicit funds for the
financing of this institution your ac-
ton will determine whether or not you
mean to cooperate in the building of
q greater Hendersonville. Consider
well what a deadly effect unfavorab1e
IN your part would have upon
the future of this community before
,dismissing the subject.

Leader Underwood takes Issue with
the administration on the proposition
to repeal the exemption clause Of the
Panama Canal bill. Mr.. Underwood
wants to exempt American vessels
from the payment of tolls, as outlined
In the Baltimore platform. President
Wilson maintains that his would yio-
late treaty agreements with other
countries and the fight is on. The
House is pretty evenly divided, with
odds favoring the Presidents view.
This is the first genuine battle Of the
present administration and the out
come is awaited with no little interest.
There is ground for argument on both
sides.
The Taft convention, the Teddy con-
vention and the Wilson convention all
declared for free canal tolls for Ameri-
can ships engaged in coastwise trade.
And now they tell US all of these con-
ventions we're wrong. Perhaps SO.
The State University is receiving a
liberal share of free advertising these
days but not the kind it needs. 1t is

there, the unfavorable notoriety help
some after all. AS a matter of fact
the whole affair has been exaggerat-
cd. There has been no gambling on
the college property-just a little game
on the outside.
The esteemed Raleigh News and
Observer is now a welcome visitor to

Senator Simmons says congress
should support the President in b
canal tolls controversy as a matter
of policy. This means a reputation
of platform declarations, but what
does it matter about "the constitution
between friends?" Politics does, IL
deed, make strange ~bed-fellows, II
times. WHO would have imagined three
years ago that Simmons and Daniels
would be 'Bunking" together nov
Mr.. Daniels used to tell the readers
of his paper that political platforms
were made to stand on and not mere
ly to "get in on" But he has chang
ed his mind.

MARIETTA HAS
GOLF CLUB Of
TWO MEMBERS
St. James Links "Sporty" With
Cow Hazards, BrambIes,
and a Branch.
By O. B. Keller.

q PEAKING of what golfer will
y do in order to golf, casual
once over hereby is bespoken
for the st. James golf course very
nearly located at Marietta Cobb
County,, Ga.
1t is referred to as very nearly To-
Gated because to date there are no
holes in 1t, BY Lext week there VIII
be four of them. at least. Perhaps
more. As to the putting green's
WELL they will not be sand, at any
rate, And if puts can't be made to
sink decently and in order in toma-
to can-if you can't can them, you
can't and that's an end of It. Also,
you can blame II on the turf, which
Is inclined TO be wrlnkly.
Back to st. James, however.
TT is named st. James after st. An
drews, in the hope that a classic
tradition or two may settle vaguely
on the later links. If there is no
Hell Bunker at st. James there are
no Cow Hazards on ST. Andrews, and
so far as we are personally con-
cerned, we esteem branbles a sharp
er pang than heather.
Which earns, at least an even
break for st. James so far.
The two celebrated courses, how
ever have a Tree Hazard in common
Also, there is a stream. known as a
burn, at st. Andrews and a branch
at st, James.
oh. they may be OF equal fame
one of these days-what?
Tor utter exclusiveness we will
back the st. James Golf Clun
against any on earth. The present
membership is two.
The formal opening was held with
considera BILE eclat, two golf balls, a
cleek, r mid-iron- and a mashie some
days ago. The entire membership
played, being rather outnumhered bv
the caddies and the gallery The gall
lery was demonttrative in the ex-
treme. especially where a certain
brindled COW was concerned Not
one of the many brilliant shots by the
entire membership precipitated hat
as much interest, not to say enthu-
siasm, as that cow.
But the opening was success.
WE are not going 10 slip In any
w more geographical details con
corning the st, James course. The
man who owns the pasture Nigh;
recognize his property and put the
whole works ont Of business. There
really is no danger 70 the cows, I'M
less one Of them should mistake an
acid -cored golf ball for a quinine pill
and the membership has voted
against acid -cored golf balls. So the
St James course may operate fnr
years and days before the proud
owner OF it discovers what is comins
off.
d Smother ground for secrecy
is that we expect To plav a
round or two at ST James before
long.
