Suffrage Live Issue In
Georgia This Year.

At no time in Georgias history have
suffragists been so active as during
the present legislative session. The At
lanta Constitution reports. "The two
best bets for excitement this year seem
to lie in prohibition measures and in
woman suffrage. Warm fights will
probably be made in both issues"
The suffragists are working for sew
eral measures. Full suffrage for wo-
men, compulsory education law, a
bill to enable Georgia women to prac-
tice law, and law to raise the age of
protection for girls from 10 to IS
years. Think of state which does
not protect a little girl of ten from the
lust of any man! Surely Georgia
needs women's help in framing laws
in the interest of the home.

Women InVentS Anti
AsphyxiatiOn Mask.


Italy is indebted to woman, Sig
nora Blanca Bardoli, of Bologna, for
the invention of a gauze mask to neu-
tralize the effect of asphyxiating gases.
1t has met with the approval of Senior
Giacomo Ciamician, professor of
chemistry in the University of Bologna,
and has been presented by him to the
military authorities. While men are
preparing new devices for the taking
of life, women seeb to be at their age
old task of preserving life. The wom-
en- of Bologna are already making
great numbers of these gauze masks
for the Italian army.

The Weather.

A golden day marks the beginning
of the eneampment. The sunshine is
as bright as late September sun can
send forth, and the breeze that at
the start of the day came out OF the
north is fresh and tonic. With such
period of glorious weather as
Washington has been enjoying there
was fear that the good luck and the
good weather might turn. There
were threats in the wind and sky yes
terday that rain was coming, but the
wind freshened, the skies cleared and
the sun arose in his happiest mood.
May the good weather continue that
the veterans and their friends may
be comfortable and happy, that the
encampment may be great success
and that Washington may appear in
its supreme beauty.

Senator VaYdaman's Views,

Senator Vardaman is opposed to
the discussion of preparedness at
this time. He suggests that we should
be talking peace. Why talk WARP
Who threatens us? Who is in con-
dition to threaten US? When the ma
tions now fighting call of, they will
be TOO exhausted to attack anybody.
Mr.. Vardaman would wait until the
war is over. and then have the coun-
try decide as to what if anything
should be done to strengthen the ma
tional defense.
The difficulty with the senator's
suggestion is that if we postpone con-
sideration OF the subject we may lose
the pressing sense of its value. We
should strike while the irons hot.
Our deficiency is so great it glares
at us today while all are full of war
subjects. When the war closes we
shall set about promoting big trade
enterprises; and, unless we shall
meanwhile have laid the foundations
for a larger national defense, both
on land and sea, trade will over
shadow everything else.

Responsibility of Citizens.

Responsibility rests upon every citi-
zen of Washington. Every dweller in
the town is a member of the Wash
ington Grand Army entertainment
committee, charged with the agree
able duty of making every visiting
veteran feel at home, and charged
also with the duty of unfolding and
even with extending Washington's
reputation for hospitality. These Wis
itors are in a way the fathers of
Washington. They preserved intact
the country of which Washington is
the capital, they preserved and sew
eral times saved the city from as
sault. and without these men and all
their comrades Washington today
might be city very like the Wash
ington of fifty-odd years ago.

The President and the Tariff.

In his letter to former Gov. Cox of
Ohio the President states very clear
ly and convincingly the case as to
the proposed tariff commission in
this:
THE full powers of tariff COM
mission are already lodged in exist
ing organs of the government most
of them, and really more than the
former commission had, in the bu-
reau of foreign and domestic COM
merce of the Department of Com
merce, and others (powers of inves-
tigation chiefly in the hands of the
new federal trade commission. Per-
haps it would be better if these vari-
Gus powers were assembled in the
hands of one bureau or department,
but aside from that l think the ma
chinery exists for thoroughly scien-
tific treatment of tariff questions. If
anything is lacking to give these
powers efficiency, am, of course,
heartily in favor of doing it."
Advocates of a tariff commission
may be divided into three classes: u
those who would delay the needed
revision, (z) those who mistakenly
believe that larger statistic-gathering
agencies should be provided, and Cd
those who equally as mistakenly be-
lieve that Congress is incompetent to
handle the tariff question, and should
resign it to a commission composed
Of so-called tariff experts, with power

The Hammer,

Said the blacksmith to the carpenter
one quiet afternoon:
Kind words are very useful in
their way.
You can sometimes tame a colt if you
will sing gentle tune
And feed him while he listens to
your lay,
But when it comes to fashioning or
mailing on shoe
It's waste of time to MARBLE like
wren.
If you want tidy job that does you
credit when you're through,
You've got to use hammer now
and then"
The carpenter took thought and to
the blacksmith he replied:
Il figure on my plans with pensive
joy.
But when it's time to nail the work
in which I've taken pride
A sturdy stroke is what must en-
ploy.
Your dreamer and your schemer may
be grateful to the mind,
But, to do the work that should be
done by men,
Though you must overwork it all re-
sentfully inclined,
You've got to use . hammer now
and them

to raise or. lower rates and change
schedules as they think best.
Class number one is negligible as
to number and influence. 1t counts
for little in the equation.
Class number two is we'll answered
by the President. Agencies enough
already exist for the collection of
all the information Congress needs
for a revision of the tariff. If CO.
ordination would help, coordination
can be arranged. 1t may be men,
toned in passing that no Congress
in revising the tariff ever lacked for
statistics bearing on the subject.
They have always been abundant.
When revision has failed it grew not
out of lack of information, but out
of the use made of the ample infor-
nation at hand.
Class number three, though an
swered so often, is still ifsistent.
Nothing seems to convince it. Hav-
ing decided Congress incapable of di-
costing the matter, it wants tribu-
nal created for the purpose. When
told that Congress under the Consti-
tuition could not if it would delegate
the power of taxation, it replies with
a famous question: What is the Con-
stitution between friends? Why per-
NIT little thing like that to stand
in the way of tariff prepared by
men who know their business?
That tariff revision is necessary
cannot be disputed. Everything
shows it. That it should be per-
formed Understandings has only to
be stated. That all the means exist
for assisting Congress in perform
ing its duty the President points out.
There is a way, and all necessary is
a will
1t is very plain, therefore, that if
Congress at the coming session does
nothing with the tariff-iets the reve-
nues continue to run behind and the
Treasury deficiency grow-the tariff
issue in next years campaign, II do
nestle issues dominate, will easily
lead the procession.

enthusiasm than warrant when he
says that "the United States is in a
position to raise great army and
build great navy more quickly than
any other nation" Would that were
SOL! But the senator is mistaken. "A
great army" is not raised" by CALI
ing great number of unframed and
untried men to the colors; and, as
matters stand, that is all we could
do in an emergency. And while our
shipyards do good work and prompt
ly, they are not the equals OF those
in either Great Britain or Germany.
The Mississippi senator adds that
when we had an army of twenty
FIVE thousand men only and little
navy we never were afraid of being
attacked by foreign power" But
he makes no allowance for the diff
ference between the situation then
and now; between our obligations
then and now; between the general
state of the world then and now. We
have added to both the army and
the navy since then. Why not add
more in the light of latest develop
ments?
Mr.. Vardaman was one of the first
men in his state to volunteer in the
war with Spain, and by his fine
service at that time attracted the at
tention which has led to his present
prominence and influence. He must
recall how poorly prepared we were
to take on even as backward a foe
as Spain. We limped into the strug-
gle. and owed something to good for
tune that it lasted only about ninety
days. Had our adversary been fit
and up-to-date we should have found
ourselves at the outset, both on land
and water, in very embarrassing Sit
uation.
That war came like flash. An
other might come as suddenly. Why
not get, and keep, in the proper con-
dition?

The Incoming Of the Grand Army.

Once again Washington welcomes
the Grand Army of the Republic. For
the third time it meets in reunion at
the capital which it valiantly de-
Tended more than fifty years ago. its
ranks sadly thinned by the years, but
its spirit tas stanch as ever, its
patriotism as high.
When fifty years ago the soldiers
OF the Union marched along Pennsyl-
vania avenue in the grand review
there was no organization and none
was contemplated, of the men who
had fought for four years to sustain
the principles OF the union of states.
Later they realized that theirs was a
common interest and they formed a
society which has survived many
years and will remain until the last
man who wore the blue in the civil
war has passed.
These men are indeed veterans.
They bear the scars of battle and
they wear honorably those of peace.
the marks of years of endeavor in
the reconstruction of the country
which war had riven. Most of them
have passed out of active service, but
some. the younger Of the soldiers of
the sixties, are still engaged in BUSH
ness, in the professions. in the civil
service of the government. All of
them are sustained by the thought
of duty we'll performed in the main
tenance of the Union.
1t is to be hoped that they will
come again to Washington, these
soldiers of the sixties. who are today
assembling and who will later march
in a parade before the President OF
the United States. They have an at
fiction for this city that passes their
feeling for any other city in the
country. During the long years of
war they we're guided from here by
the great Lincoln. Here they wit
messed the triumph OF their arms in
the review Of 1866. Here since then
they have seen the country guided
into prosperity and into reunion.
until there is no longer line of de-
NARRATION between them and those
whom they fought. Here they have
assembled twice before the present
reunion.
Every preparation has been made
to give them a warm welcome, and
to make their stay at the capital
memorable and enjoyable. They are
surrounded by their friends and ac-
companied by the many subsidiary
organizations that have sprung into
existence as result of their own
patriotic activities. Never before has
there been such a significant reunion,
though the ranks are thinner than
ever. They meet as distant witnesses
OF titanic struggle. beside which
their own work in field and camp
half century ago was slight in point
OF numbers. But the strife that now
rends Europe is no whit more preg-
nant of possibilities than was that
in which they engaged. And they
are today perhaps the stanchest adj
vocates of preparedness for war
that will prevent the needless sacri-
fees that inevitably result from I'M
readiness in the event of an attack
upon this land by a foreign foe.
While the spirit that anirnates the
Grand Army of the Republic remains
in the people Of the United States
there will be no defeat for the Amer
lean nafion
