The Public
Safety Value
Editor Times Recorder:

Editor Times Recorder:
Will you allow some expressed
thoughts along the line of the Sunday
opening of the drug stores in our
city. At the time of this writing, we
do not know of more than one drug
store open on Sunday, but it is ru-
I.ored that another might follow suit.
After hearing expressions from a
large number of representative citi-
ztns, the writer feels that the senti-
ments expressed are shared by a
large percentage of our best citizen
ship.
First, there is no possible excuse
for these drug stores to open on Sun
day in the name of public good, for
already every prescriptionist in town
is ready, at telephone call, to fill any
order for medicine, or an absolute
necessity. There is perfect service
already along this line. What then
can be gaind by this violation of the
moral law which commands us to
Remember the Sabbath Day, and
keep it holy"o Evidently, the idea is
to sell things which are not now sold
On this day, and to furnish sort
of Longing place for the public on
Sunday. Will the citizens who value
the reputation of our city Ito say
rothing of higher motiyes) stand still
and see this evil thrust upon us with
out an effort to stay its encroachment
upon the moral life of our commun-
ity?
There may be those who believe that
material gain will come from the sale
of ice cream sandwiches, soda fount
drinks, ETC., on the Lords Day, but the
message was handed down to us long
ago: Him that honoreth me win I
honor" and there are many who yet
believe from personal observation that
In the long run it pays the business
man to allow the Sabbath day to re-
main holy day in so far as his bust
ness is concerned 1t is not necessary
from any standpoint that this Sunday
opening evil come into our midst and
we call upon the thoughtful citizen to
express such definite disapproval that
1t will be possible to stay the evil in
it's beginning. In closing, We would
express appreciation for the drug
store proprietors who are known to
oppose the Sunday opening.

MRs.LAMAR AND MRS.
MORGAN TAKE ISSUE

TOWNSVILLE, Ga, Nov. 3O.-lWo
letters just received here from prom
inent Georgia women gives some in
sight into the Importance In this state
of the question of equal suffrage.
In a recent editorial, which was
copied by several of the state papers
the editor of the Thomasville Times
Enterprise said that the Introduction
OF a resolution at the convention Oh
the Georgia Division of Unlted
Daughters of the Confederacy last
week, that women be permitted TO
practice law in this state was thought
by some to be an opening wedge for
the introduction of the question Oh
suffrage. 1t was also stated that IL
was only by effective maneuverlng
that the leaders in the recent fed
Grafton meeting in Savannah kept
the matter of suffrage out OF that
convention.
Mrs. Lamar, retiring president OF
tie U. D. c., now takes issue with
the editor of the paper and states
41,oA 49, Recommendations IN rapard to
the fairer sex being allowed to prac-
tice law has nothing to do with SUI
frage and was offered with the pur-
pose of promoting the interests OF the
women of the state, who since they
are permitted to enter the medical
professions should, she thinks, also
be given the privilege of the legal
profession. She believes that neither
the U. D c., Women's Federation of
clubs, or the w. C. T. U. will ever
allow suffrage to influence their or
CARNATIONS.
Taking the opposite view from Mrs.
Lamar in another letter, Mrs. S. B.
C. Morgan, of Savannah, who is prom
ilently identified with the work of the
Georgia federation of clubs, states
that the question of suffrage in the
federation meeting was not suppress
ed by "maneuvering" but was in
diligently considered and is a live
question and one that met with little
opposition though action on it was de-
ferred but is mound to come soon.
Mrs Morgan is an enthusiastic suf-
fragist and Mrs. Lamar an equally
enthusiastic anti-suffragist and their
two letters only go to show that this
preston is live one to the women
o. the state, dividing many of them
fr their opinions.

COP SUES ATLANTA'S
REFORMING BODIES

ATLANTA, Ca, Nov 30-The fact
that the Recall committee and the Men
and Religion Executive committee are
practically one and the same was dis
closed yesterday when suit for $4,000
damages, alleging malicious and will
ful libel, was filed by Policeman J. 0.
Askew in the Superior court against
the Recall committee, the members of
which were recorded as John j. Ea-
gun, H. Y. McCord, Marion M. Jackson
and ]. N. McEachern.
A recently published Recall bulletin
or advertisement in the Atlanta Con-
stitution was cited as the basis of the
suit. In this bulletin the words were
used:
Policeman Askew was caught at
the negro woman, Ola Bradley's house.
They were discharged by the board"
Askew alleges in his suit that the
statement in the bulletin was libellous
and false. He sets forth that he was
lot at the negro house and was in
no way connected with the affair.

Clash In Statements Made
By Secretary Garrison And
Reply Gioen By W. H. Taft

general of the Philippine Islands, was
the first one to announce that the
motto of the American administration
was The Philippines for the Filipinos.'
He properly and bitterly resented crit
ieisms against him for taking this po-
sition. He constantly stated that this
was the only position which any one,
acting in good faith and with the hon.
or of his government in his keeping,
could take; that from the very begin
ming this was the announced policy of
this country constantly iterated and
reiterated by the presidents of this
country, by its representatives, and
by it's congress. No one had so plain
ly set forth as has President Taft the
malicious misrepresentation, the
mendacious statements, and the vicious
assaults that proceed from those in
the Philippine Islands who are not
permitted to exploit the natives and
the country for their own benefit.
president Taft was absolutely JUS
titled in his bitter denunciation of
these attacks, which makes it all the
more amazing to find him indulging
il; exactly the same conduct toward
those who are now occupying posi-
ticns of trust and responsibility in the
Philippine government.
There lately appeared a series of
articles in a newspaper called the
Oakland Tribune Subsequently they
were published in pamphlet entitled
The Unhappy Conditions in the Phil
ippine Islands, by o. Garfield Jones,
Former Member of the Philippine
department of Education, with an In
PRODUCTION by ex-President William
Howard Taft, former Governor Gen
eral of the Philippines
"a sickening sense of shame must
overcome Mr. Taft when he realizes
where his blind partisanship in this
matter has led him. To be found in
such company under such circum-
stances is, however, the inevitable re-
suit of such campaign. There is no
mitigating circumstance, because, with
respect to every one of the charges,
accusations and statements in the ar
ticle, full records were at the disposal
of Mr.. Taft, if he had cared to learn
the truth.
81 suppose it is too much to hope
for, even in matter of this kind, af-
fecting as it does, the good name and
honor of our country, that partisan
zeal shall restrain itself within the
bounds of truth, decency and fair
dealing. 1t would be something OF
which we could all be proud if it
we're So"
