eide whether to send it forth to the
world, to "speak as he sees and
hears" or to enshroud it with the
mantle of human charity for the
sake of the innocent ones who
would be unjustly wounded and
Inundated through it's publication.
He weighs both sides, acts as his
heart and conscience dictates, and
is himself the target of criticism
from one side or the other, regard
less of what his decision may be.
If he publishes the story, the
innocent suffer and their friends
term him heartless and cruel. If
the milk of human kindness flows
in his veins and he suppresses the
story, the scandal lovers are on to
him in force because he has not
mblazoned choice morsel of
gossip to an expectant world.
We can recall many instances
since the good year 1888 wherein
we have committed the sin OF
omission, and the culprit swagger-
ed around and conveyed the i'm
preston that we were afraid to tell
the truth, when as a matter of fact
weconsidered only those who would
be unjustly dragged down with
them in their degradation.
But the most pitiful object Oh
earth, and probably the most con-
temptable, is the cnss who gets
caught in his deviltry and then
begs the editor "for the sake of his
innocent family" not to publish
the story.
And perhaps the "sin Of omis-
sion" is not such sin after all.

SUFFRAGE NEWS NOTES.
BY LILLIAN PERRINE DAVIS.

Never before in the history of
the movement has the outlook been
SO good for the certain attainment
of full and equal suffrage through
out the civilized world. At the
recent convention of the National
Woman Suffrage Association anew
and more powerful campaign was
started for nationwide effort,
more closely organized, more deter
mined, more filled with the uplift
of undoubted, speedy victory than
any similar occasion has ever
brought forth.
Upon her return from the con.
vention, Mrs. Guilford Dudley,
president of the Tennessee Equal
Suffrage Association, gave an in
terview to the press in which she
stated that women who had been
in the work for forty years and
had never before predicted VIC
tory, were now freely saying that
with one determined effort, the
fight will be won for the United
States.
In England, where the battle
ragged 80 desperately and with
such scant hope of success until
the war proved that the intensest
patriotism lay at the bottom of
the cause, the women have sud-
denly been confronted with the
gratifying change to an approving
public opinion.
In Australia, for the first time
since the making of wars began,
women are to say by their votes in
the CONSUMPTION referendum, if
they will have their sons and hus-
bands sent into battle.
In Canada, where four of the
largest provinces already have full
suffrage and four of equal import
ance have partial suffrage, the
cause is growing SO rapidly in
strength that many are urging the
workers of the United States to
use all haste, lest our Northern
neighbor wrest from us the honor
OF being first to wholly prove its
confidence in it's women.
In Tennessee, the time is at hand
for victory. Even the most bitter
opponents now begin their objec-
tons with the statement, II see it
is coming" Those who yesterday
were positive in their position, are
neutral today. Those who yester-
day looked on with Indifference.
are today actively working.

FRIDAY, OCTOBER Is, 1916.
AS THE EDITOR SEES IT.?

There comes time in the life of
every editor when it is genuine
relief to be able to confess his sins
of omission-heavy on the "omis-
sion"
To be more pointed, you are pre-
pairing right now to read things
GAS the Editor See It." But you
won't. And therein comes our sin
of omission, for by the rule of "an
eye for an eye and tooth for
tooth" we should publish as we see.
For instance:
We might mention by name
strong, hearty, robbut man who is
wellpossessed of this worlds goods,
whose every personal want appears
to be satisfied, who seeks the pleas
ures of the world and enjoys them
himself. Then we might mention
the frail little wife who patiently
tolls at home day by day, through
out the daylight hours and far into
the night. We might tell the story
of how she seldom has an hour to
call her own, and Of how the grind
ing burdens of life are crushing
her into premature grave, of how
the joys of living have degenerated
into the bitterness of mere exist
ence.
We might tell the story GAS the
Editor Sees 1t" and humanity
would have but slight sympathy
for the man. 1t would serve as
choice morsel of gossip, and might
perchance bring a flush to the mas
culine cheek that appears never to
have known consideration or shane.
But through consideration for
the little tired and overburdened
woman whose life is being whitfield
away we commit the editorial sin
of "omission." He was once dear
to her, and, womanlike, her heart
may still cling to the brute who
basks in the sunshine of life while
she writhes in the misery of neg
lect.
To publish the story in all of it's
cruel thoughtlessness and criminal
Indifference would be but an act of
justice and retribution. But, then,
it would bring shame and degreda-
tion to waning life whose burdens
are already too great for the frail
body to bear. Hence our voice is
stilled, our pen refuses to move
and the details of the story are
never told.
Every editor commits like sins
of omission, but he does 80 after
calm and mature reflection. A
story comes to him in all of it's sor-
diness and multiplicity of filth and
disgusting details. He must de-

Both candidates for Governor are
pledged to the principle. Both
candidates for the Senate have en-
dorsed it, Both candidates for
Congress in the Eighth District
favor suffrage amendments. But
still there is work and work and
more work to do.
Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait, in a
preconvention prophecy, made this
significant statement: "To be sure,
our cause has won all the really i'm
portant factors of the country
the churches, the principal women's
organizations and recognition by
both the leading political parties.
Moreover, all the leading names in
literature, art, philosophy, science
and business are enrolled on our
side. But we have not won the
reactionaries. We have not won
the illiterate. We have not won
the powers of evil. And we realize
there must be one final battle be-
tween the forces of enlightenment
and progress and the forces of ig-
norance, evil and tradition"
In Tennessee, the forces of evil
at least so far as they are repre-
sented 10y the liquor interests are
already conquered. There remains
then but the reactionaries and the
illiterate. Only time or miracle
of Providence can dispose of the
reactionaries They had as well be
left to the justice of Heaven. The
great work then before the women
of Tennessee is to teach the ignor-
ant; to arouse from passive accept
ance of the old order the women
who through generations have been
used to patiently accept whatever
treatment their men folk were
pleased to give them; to awake
from slothfulness the women who,
having no need of the ballot for
their own personal protection, are
so unChristian as to be Indifferent
to the needs of their less sheltered
sisters.
Comment has frequently been
made upon the splendid quality of
the women engaged in suffrage
work in this State. In brain and
culture and social position they
rank with any. That is to be ex-
pected in State where the fires of
patriotism never die; where the
oratory of the candidate never
ceases, and where spirit of true
Democracy vies with the spirit of
loyal Republicanism in the truest
chivalry of giving lady what she
wishes.
Through the courtesy of the va
rious editors this department,
which has been appearing several
weeks in the Lexington Republican
has been extended to every county
in the Eighth Congressional Dis
trict. It is the intention to adhere
strictly to the non-partisan policy
of the suffrage movement. News
and comment gathered from vari-
GUS sources will be given promptly
as possible. The writer of the de-
partment will be glad if league
secretaries and others interested
will send her any items of interest
concerning progress in the Eighth
District. Miss Sue S. White, 100
Elks' Building. Jackson, is district
chairman. She is always most
happy to answer inquiries.

The Real Treasure.

Poor, indeed, is he who has no
friends. Love is an exclusive senti-
ment and sometimes an exciting one.
1t is through our friends that much of
our happiness comes. A true friend
is to be appreciated and treasured.
Friendships bond Is one not to be
lightly broken. To have friends, we
must be friends. The real friend does
not easily take offense. Openness
brings friends closer together in
thought and feeling. There must be
confidence and 1t must never be be-
trayed. ITO suspect a friend is worse
than to be deceived by him." said La
Rochefoucauld. If. when offense is
given, one does not give way TO i'm
patience, but gives ample opportunity
for explanation or excuse, it will Of
ten be found that there was no real
grievance. Have forgiveness ready in
the heart-a complete forgiveness
which puts anger so far away that 1t
is soon forgotten. No human being is
perfect and forgiveness ennobIes the
character. II you have one true friend,
be grateful and kind and hold him TO
you with hoops of steel. Cultivate
friendships by being kind, helpful and

Footman Was a Poet.

At least one domestic servant

made lasting contribution to English
literature in the eighteenth century.
This was Robert DOdsley, who as a

while still in service. With the pro-
ceeds of these works and farce, THE
