As Nov. 8 draws near interest grows keener in the battle being waged by sufragists for the ballot in Montana, Nevada, the Dakotas, Nebraska, Missouri and Ohio. The suffragists claim the first four states, and say they have a fighting chance in the other three Mrs An toinette Funk of Chicago is their leading campaigner.
 There is also much interest in the energetic campaign being waged by the Congressional Union to divert the votes of the women of the equal suffrage states from the Democratic candidates for congress in the inter- est of the proposed federal amend ment,s Among the sufragists cam paigning in these states are Inez Haynes Gilmore. Jessie Hardy Stubbs, Miss Charlotte Whitney and Mrs. Mary M Keith.

the roads of the United States are
In such shocking state of disrepair
and no repair. Mr.. Pages position
as chief of the Bureau of Public
Roads Of the Department Of Agri-
culture may have something to do
with his theory. But he has a num-
Der Of apparently excellent arguments
to substantiate 1t.
DO you know" he asked recently
while speaking to me on the subject
of roads and the cost of living, that
the people OF the United States have
1t within their power to save them
selves $300,000,000 a year merely by
improving their roads? Think what
cut such a saving would make in
the cost of living! Think what 1t
would mean to each individual budget
to have a slice Of this saving.
IF the cost of hauling in this
country were cut down one-half, or
made equal to the average European
cost of hauling, which is II 1-2 cents,
as against our % cents, the United
States would save itself $4,000, 900
q. year. In addition, the nation could
add another S50.000,000 to its income
by passing equitable road laws and
substituting wise and equitable SUI
pervision for the present Anticipated
and wasteful system of handling our
roads

MORE FARMING
To GUT Do WIN
COST Of LIVING
Secretary Of Agriculture Houston
Urges the Cultivation Of Vast
Areas of Unimproved Land.

WASHINGTON, Jan 1o.-"with a
population Of less than 95,oOO,O0O liv-
ing on more than 100000 square
miles, 1t is unreasonable to speak as
If our territory had been much more
than pioneered"
With this encouragement, David r.
Houston, Secretary of Agriculture,
urges greater activity in the cultiva-
ton Of untouched land as a means
for a reduction in the high cost of
living. He says that only in few
sections reasonably full returns have
been reached. Continuing, he says:
According to the best statistics
available, it appears that the total
arabic land in the Union is approx
mately 935,000.0 900 acres; that only
about 400,000,0o0 Of this is included
in farmland, improved; that 100 000,-
900 is unimproved and not included
in farms; and the remainder is I'M
improved land included in farms
Too Easy to Live.
We are suffering the penalty of
too great ease Of making a living"
Free distribution Of seeds by Con-
gressmen should be discontinued, the
Secretary recommends. He would
conduct in It's stead a constructive
work in securing and distributing new
seeds and plants.
On the good roads proposition the
Secretary says:
Good roads are prerequisite for
better marketing, for better schools
and for more comfortable rural liv-
ing. Better sanitation and hygiene in
community are just as vital for the
rural community as for the urban"
To gain information to enable the
department better to serve rural
women, the Secretary has addressed
letters of inquiry to the women of
5000 selected farms covering every
county.
Domestic Help Needed.
THE overwork of women and chill
dren and difficulty of securing domes-
tic help are mentioned by a number
of the writer's. The department be-
lieves that intelligent help to wom-
en- in matters of home management
will contribute directly to the agri-
cultural success of the farm.
TT purposes, therefore, to ask Con
gress for means and authority to
make more complete studies of do
mestic conditions on the farm, to ex-
pertinent with labor saving devices
and methods and to study completely
the question of practical sanitation
and hygiene protection for the farm
family.

MORE MONEY IS
TObE ASKEDFOR
PARK CONCERTS
Other Cities Beat Atlanta's $3.50
a Year, and Council Will Be
Asked for Increase.

An effort is to be made to induce
Council to provide a sufficient appro-
priation this year to insure a sus-
tanned and general series of band con-
certs in the various city parks during
the hot summer months.
The Park Board has been petit
toned by numerous citizens to ask
specifically for a much larger appro-
priation, and those behind the move
ment believe that II the board will
make the right sort Of showing Coun-
Gil will respond.
1t is planned, If sufficient funds can
be secured, to have band concerts In
one of the larger parks at least every
Saturday anc. Sunday afternoon, and
If possible, to nave number of con-
certs in some Of tie smaller parks on
week nights.
In cities where these concerts are
given regularly during the summer
they have invariably grown most
popular, especially with the women
and children. If Atlanta might have
them regularly and at well and fairly
distributed points. those behind the
present movement feel that the
money spent would be a splendid tn
vestment
In this connection, some compare
tive figures have been offered to the
Park Board that are most interest
ing. Denver gives to this work SIS,
900 annually, Kansas City $4,000
Memphis $4,000, Nashville $1,000
Richmond $4,000 Seattle $4,000 and
Portland $4,000.
Atlanta appropriates at present
only $3.50 annually. This sum, com
pared with the amounts appropriated
by other cities relatively Atlanta's
size, seems ridiculous, and Is sufii-
cient to provide only few scattering
concerts throughout the summer.

Clergyman in Article Declares E.
fort TO Emancipate Women
Has Gone Too Far.
THREATENS NATIONS MORALS
Erotic Literature Indecent Bod
ices, Cocktails and Cigarettes,
He Says, Lead to Divorce.

CHICAGO, Jan. 10.-Leaders in the
feminist movement are charged with
large share of responsibility for
making Americas divorce rate the
second highest in the world. Rev.
Edwin Heyl Delk, of Philadelphia, in
an article on divorce and social well
fare" in the current number OF the
Biblical World, sees menace IN the
movement.
DR. Delk declares that the effort to
or,ancfpate women has gone "far be-
yond the boundary of legitimate
claims for self expression and public
privilege" and has created an lat
mosphere In which divorce becomes
Increasingly easy"
'The movement" he asserts, has
taken on in some quarters rank
license and riot of expression, in both
literature and life, which threatens
Ike moral and legal. status Of whole
nations
Novels Divorce Cause.
Among the other causes of divorce
enumerated are erotic novels, indie
cent bodices, "risque repartee,' the
passion for admiration. jewels, physi-
cal comfort and emotional thrills,
cocktails, cigarettes and hasty mar
riages. Dr. Delk urges uniform mar
riage and divorce laws as the great
est reform needs.
In the realm of literature claim
ing to be scientific and philosophical
We have such writers as Freud and
Ellen Key, who are asserting that
all motherhood is sacred within or
without the marriage bond" he says
in discussing feminism.
The underlying claim made by
this school of social philosophers is
that erotic love is the sole moral
ground of marriage; that when love
dies down or out. either or both par
ties are morally bound to separate
and remarry, if some new affinity
swings into the ken of the disap-
pointed spouse. Marriage Is thus
conceived as q matter Of unfettered
choice.
Erotc Love Needs Curb.
"Erotic love needs a curb, a higher
law than sexual affinity. This preach
ment of the new morality has reach
ed our own libraries and lecture plat
forms in America and must be met
by race experience and the wisdom
Of ethical teachers, whose balanced
vision and personal self-control tit
them to be the real prophets of the
present and the future.
Here and there some hysterical
soul is found in revolt against our
divorce laws, because they are man
matchmaking that they were
framed by persons who happened to
be men, implying that justice is i'm
possible so long as men write stat
Utes, and revealing that sex antag-
onism which threatens to make Of the
militant suffragette movement a
crazy fiasco, degrading the worthy
movement of the enfranchisement of
woman. This is feminism run to
hopeless hysteria.
The most obvious and potent
cause of divorce is indiscreet and
nasty marriage. If young men and
women pledged to marry would wait
a few months, or a year and get a
sort of second breath before they
make the final and irretrievable leap
INTO matrimony two thirds of the di-
vorce suits would be eliminated from
our courts"
