MOUSE FOR SMALL CHANGE IN WEST.

From the Washington Post.
The United States government cOUld almost
do away with coins smaller than dime far
as the towns of the Northwest are concerned, re-
marked Col. Geo. w. Drewry, of Kentucky. Col
Drewry spent several months in Montana and
Idaho and has just come East. "rhe price is
two bits for most anything a man wants. con-
tinued Col. Drewry. If you want shave it's two
bits or if you want a refreshing drink Of some
kind it is the same The bUotbacks will consent
to shine your shoes little cheaper but they want
Is cents for polishing your kicks, and they ap-
pear think that is too cheap.
Montana and Idaho are thriving" added Col.
Drewry. The European has not affected the
people Of those states in the least. 1t has helped
the farmers by giving them a chance to get rid
of their surplus horses and the price of prod
ucts has, of course gone up to a high figure Mon
tana did not sell all of her good hOres to the Euro
pean belligerents. She kept her stock animals,
and there will be plenty of horses for sale in that
state in a few years"

DRYER Than Was Supposed ?

The editor of the Macon News has evidently made
q personal and careful investigations of the new
prohibition law. At any rate, prepared to
accept him as authority the subject when he
informs us that the prevalent idea that per-
son can order as much as a gallon of wine, half
gallon of whisky and forty-eight bottles of beer
month is wrong.
Section 16 of the anti-shpping law says: That
it shall be unlawful for any person to receive
Cd more than one gallon of vinous liquor (2)
more than six gallons CAS- pnts) of matted liquor
or fermented liquor, such as beer lager beer. ale
porter or other fermented liquors, either in bot
ties or other receptacles 90 more than two
quarts of spirituOus liquors.
In calculating the above paragraph of the law
our Macon contemporary allows that it is plain
that the conjunction or is used in the disjunct-
i've which means that the monthly order must be
limited to any one of the three items. A man
cannot order wine beer whiskey, but may order
any one of them in the specified amount, is the
Macon view, where they are usually well Informed
on matters pertaining thereto.

1t Should Be Done.

1t is the custom of some judges to scathingly
denounce a prisoner when about to be sentenced
and it is a practice that has nothing to commend
and much to condemn it, The court has the ad-
vantage Anything and everything can be said
to man in the dock that the judge pleases. The
prisoner cannot reply in kind, and if he did it
would not only not do him any good but would
add to his punishment. The individual who is
preparing to begin a long sentence imposed by
court of law has suffered enough ahead, no mat
ter how much deserved, without being compelled
to listen to a denun citation.

MEMS OPPOSITION TO EQUAL
SUFFRAGE IS A COMPLIMENT TO- WOMEN

From the Newman Herald and Advertiser.
There are many good women who believe that
their sex ought not to be deprived OF the right Of
suffrage, and it is not the nature of to rest
quietly under what they regard a great injustice.
1t has seemed to some conservative people that
women have not fully appreciated the reasons why
men object To female suffrage. Possibly it would
be correct to speak of the objections that
men have to women voting as more sentimental
than otherwise. 1t is mistake to suppose that
men generally believe that women incapable
of exercising the franchise inteligently and wisely.
There are many women who understand public
questions quite as well as men do; and some of
them better than many men who have the right
to go to the polls. If women only understood the
reason why many oppose the extension Of the right
to vote to- women they would appreciate it a
compliment to their sex. True men honor true
women and for that they do not wish to
see them compromised in the least by mixing up
with public affairs 1t may be a mistake to asso-
ciate voting with immodesty; but this idea false
as it may be- is at the bottom of the reluctance of
men to give the ballot.

Beet Time for Pruning.

There 10 . lot of truth in the old
saying that one should prune when
the knife is sharp. Spring Is the best
time for pruning, rs ut that time the
wounds heal up most quickly. II the
trees are making excessive growth .
pruning early in July is good. as there
Is not likely to be any new growth
starting as the results Of cutting out
the old. There Is also little danger Of
recurring growth II just the water
sprouts are cut out now.
