THE WOMAN'S VOTE

In the last issue of Mr., Bryan s
Commoner he declares:
1T is not too much to say that 1t
was the women who turned the tide
of battle and won the fight for the
President. Little did he think when
he trudged down to Princeton and
cast his vote for woman suffrage
that the women of the nation would
save him from defeat and give his
party an opportunity to add to it's
already long list of reforms still
greater reform which will bring in
to the arena Of politics a new moral
force destined to make It's influence
felt whenever the welfare of the
home is involvoi--but these women
will not stay with US if We take the
side Of the saloon"

W. ]. HARRIS MAY BE CANDI-
DATE FOR U. S. SENATE

Atlanta, Ga, Nov pa great
deal of interest is being manifested
throughout the state in the an
nouncement that w. j. Harris, for
merly state senator and now a
member of the Federal Trade Com
mission by appointment from Presi-
dent Wilson, may be a candidate for
the United States senate to succeed
Senator Thomas w. Hardwick.
During his recent visit to Geor-
gia in connection with the presi-
Dental election, Mr.. Harris was be-
sieged with inquiries from friends
concerning his intentions and plans
with regard to the senatorial race.
Should he become candidate. it
is taken as a matter of course that
Mr.. Harris will run on a platform
strongly supporting President Will
son, inasmuch as he was one of the
original Wilson men in Georgia in
1912, and this is eXpected to bring
cleancut issue with Senator Hard
wick's opposition of the president
on the snip purchase bill, the child
labor bill and other important leg
islation

WHAT WILSON HAS DONE

'In 1912 the Roosevelt bolt de-
stroyed party lines and although Mr..
Wilson was elected by an enormous
majority in the electoral college, the
combined Taft-Roosevelt vote was
7,604,56 against Wilson vote Of
only 6,293,019. The republican
progressive plurality Of the popular
vote was 1,311,154, or slightly
more than in 1909.
I'm 1916 the Wilson popular vote
is 1000 beyond the previous
democratic record. 1t is 100000
more than the Rooseyelt-Taft total
of 1912. 1t is more than 100000
in advance of the reunited republic
can party. ~There is no more talk of
minority president
Mr.. Wilson has put the two par
ties on an equality again. The
great republican majorities of the
last twenty years have been broken
and, the country will profit from
this restoration Of the balance.
There is no better assurance of good
government than two parties prac-
tically equal in power and each at
the mercy of the independent vote.

TO SUCCEED WILSON

Many papers are declaring that
w. j. Bryan deserves to succeed
Woodrow Wilson as president, while
some Georgia papers are claiming
our senior senator is fit for that hon
or He was offered the vice-presi-
dency during the convention at Bal
timore which nominated Wilson the
first time and refused it.
The Cordele Sentinel says:
Hon. Hoke Smith, of Georgia for
president-in 1920! He is big
enough, broad enough and stands
for all the progressive principles of
Democracy. He is also one of the
best campaigners in the Democratic
party. We believe also that the
republic will want the biggest and
strongest man regardless of whether
he comes from the solid south, and
the fact that he is from the south
should no longer prove a handicap
in the way of the right man. Hoke
Smith ranks right along in a class
with Wilson, Bryan and others of
the biggest men in the Democratic
party-and Hoke Smith is big
enough to serve all sections of the
nation with equal credit, honor and
dignity. Why not Hoke Smith, of
Georgia, in 1920?"

FIRE PREVENTION.

The recent widespread celebra-
tion of Fire Prevention Day (Octo-
Der 9th) throughout the United
States, gives point to the query as
to whether fire prevention is really
making good in actual results.
Here is a part of the answer.
New York City, in 1915 had t.
010 fewer fires than in 1914, and
its aggregate losses showed a de-
crease of $2,46O,793 from those of
1914. 1t per capita loss was $1O6,
or $.32 less than was known before;
its loss per fire was $140.58 less
than the lowest previous record.
These results are generally attri-
buted to New York's fire prevention
work
Chicago has a Bureau of Fire Pre-
vention and Public Safety with ex-
tensive activities Translated into
figures it appears that Chicago, in
1915, enjoyed a decrease of 1888
in the number of fires and of $685..
COS in total fire losses as compared
with 1914.
Boston's Metropolitan District
tincluding the City of Boston and
% neighboring towns) has made a
remarkable showing, since appoint
ing it's Fire Prevention Commission
er in 1914. Comparative figures
for the single month of June, are
as follows: In 1914, 1887 alarms;
in 1915, 935 alarms; in 1916, COS
alarms,-or a decrease in two years

WHAT IS WORTH KNOWING

DR. Frank Crane says: What the
great American Commons want TO
know, what they need, and what
they will suffer and possibly perish
if they do not get, is instruction up
on such themes as follows:
How to be happy. How to ad-
just ones self to what happens-to
events, to other people, to misfor-
tune, to time, to the past, to the fu
ture.
How to get rid of fear and it's
by-products, which destroy life; the
fear of success, which is worry; the
fear of love, which is suspicion; and
the fear of poverty, which is vul-
garity.
How to enjoy ones mind. How
to be alone and happy. How to es-
cape boredom. How to use ones
thoughts as instruments of con-
tentment and efficiency. Isn't it
better to know such things than to
know the answer to that hypothen-
use puzzle?
How to do ones duty to ones
self. How to keep well, to be
cheerful, and to live full life. Also
how to avoid the disease of self,
such as pride, pessimism, and self
pity. How to be self-reliant, and to
keep out of the sloughs of despond,
complaint, and whining. Such
knowledge would help millionaires
as we'll as paupers.
How to be pleasing to others, in
appearance, in manner in voice, in
all we do, so that we could live to-
gether with less friction How to
get along with relatives How to
be helpful without meddlng.
How to have system, so as to
live smoothly. How to love simpli-
city. How to avoid the superfluous.
How to be happy as we so along and
not forever postpone joy
These things, and not languages
and mathematics, are the essentials.
These things, which are but
side issues in your institution, ought
to be its main concerns.
These things are wisdom; your
feadin, 'ritin' and 'rithmetic are
mere knowledge-hence knowledge
comes but wisdom fingers in your
halls.
These things represent the dem
ocracy of education.
Your school is keyed to the ex-
ceptional pupil; it ought to be key
ed TO the common, 20 teach what
every human being ought to know"

of 64%.
Cincinnati is interested in fire
prevention. It's 1914 figures. of p
1873 fires and $699,473 in loss IS
were reduced to 1,708 fires and
So $50 in losses for 1915-a re-
duction of 200 in the former item
and nearly 500 in the latter.
Milwaukee now carries on fire
prevention work under the direction
of it's fire department. In 1915, the
city had only 1879 fires as against
z, 81 in 1914-a decrease of 30 %
It's total fire losses for 1915 were
5 4 ,OO9 as against $777,946 in
l 9 4, and $9o3,477 in 1913. Mil
waukee is convinced that fire pre-
vention pays
The above, however, are few of
the bright spots and represent but
the merest beginning. 1t must new
er be overlooked that fire proven
ton is still confronted by an enor-
nous task. Momentary enthusiasm
because of reductions effected in a
few cities is somewhat dampened
by the reflection that 1915 saw the
enormous total of $39,59I,227 in
the single item of dwelling house
fires in the United States. Of this
amount, $6,932,S13, or $17,323 per
day, is directly traceable to defec-
tive chimneys and flues-a cause
which could have been ascertained
and corrected
Fire prevention does prevent; but
it never will be really successful I'M
til the public takes a hand.
