Error In Law Makes
Women Eligible to
Serve as Ordinances

Either through error or by a joker.
women of Georgia are given the right
to hold certain public offices in the
state by virtue of the wording of the
recent act of the general assembly Gre
ating the Office Of notaries public-at-
large, and making women eligible there
TO.
The wording cf the measure. which
has just appeared in the new volume of
Georgia acts for 1886. provides spe-
cifically that women may hold the office
of ordinary and may also hold any
Office in the children's court by appoint
ment.
These features Of the law were
brought 10 the attention of a Journal
reporter by Judge John c. Hart, state
tax commissioner. who has been reading
the new acts since the publication of
the valume containing them.
Judge Hart declared that ne would
not venture an opinion as to how the
wording of the measure came about,
but expressed the belief that tho law,
as passed. was valid and that 1t entitled
women to hold the office OF county ordi-
nary and also that Of judge of the chill
dren's court.
Under the law. the only qualification
required Of women in holding these Of
fees is that they shall be subject 20
the process OF subpoena the same as
males
The wording of that part Of the act
granting these rights to women is full
and concise and apparently leaves no
room for doubt as TO its intention. The
paragraph referred to follows:
Provided, further, that a woman is
eligible to the Office of commercial no.
tsry public. and also TO the office of
assistant physician at the Georgia state
sanitarium. and also 10 the office of clerk
of ordinary, and the court of ordinary;
and females. residents of a county for
the four years preceding. may be APP
pointed TO any Office in the children's
court. provided that any female CONNER
cial notary public shall be subject to
process Of subpoena"

An Impossible Thing

The really good weekly news
paper promotes the interest of the
town in which it is published to
such an extent that it becomes
impossible to place an estimate up
on its worth. There is no enter
prise that does so much for the
corporation or the Individual cit
izen as the paper. 1t is the friend
Of everything that stands for the
upbuilding of the community. The
paper has not yet come into its
own, however, because it is new
er appreciated to the extent OF its
worth by the people at large. Yet
when battles are to be fought for
town or county rush is made to
the newspaper office, always to
find loyal editor ready, fire.
quently without hope of reward.
Many other enterprises are en-
couraged by bonus, but rarely
is the paper offered any such help.
Communities not infrequently
lose sight of their real benefactor
when they fail to recognize the
weekly paper in their midst as
such. The minister and the edi-
tor go hand in hand as the bull
wark of defense against the at
tacks of evil or designed schemes
affecting the individual or the
town.
For these and other good rea-
sons the newspaper of the town
and county should receive the
support of the public at large in a
very liberal degree, for it is real
ly the most important business en-
terprise of the community. The
editor is business man and not a
mendicant and should be recog-
nized as the most important factor
in the community, for poor indeed
is the town or corporation that
has not at least one of these nee
essary persons in it.-Exchange.

Concerning Internal Revenue
Reports

The report of the Internal Rev
cnue Commissioner for the Ten
months ending April 70, 1876,
shows an increase in the revenue
IRON distilled spirits, and, as
might be expected, the liquor n
terests are using the figures to boil
ster up their pet argument, "Pro-
hibition does not prohibit.
The reason for this increase is
found, not in the greaGer con-
sumption of whiskey by the people
of the United States, hut in vari-
Gus changing conditions here and
abroad. First, unusually pigo-
rous measures have been taken
by the department to compel GER
tain manufacturers to pay the re-
quired taxes ON their pro1uct. The
good work Of Commissioner Os-
born in this direction is public his
tory
Second, the large quantity OF
spirits shipped from this country
to Africa to take the place Of the
British product now barred from
shipment because of the Europe
an war, is counted in the in
creased consumption. F." During
the year ending June 30, 1915, ex-
ports amounted to 1,663,00 gal
Ions; during the nine months, Ju-
ly, 1915, to March 1916, $780,
600, gallons were exported.
Third, there has been a steady
decrease in the supply of import
ed liquors due to difficulties in
transportation. Some Of the for
eign distillers have opened
branches in this country, and the
taxes on their output are now adj
ded to the internal revenue of the
United States.
Other reasons might be given,
but these suffice to show how alert
the liquorites are to seize upon
any apparent advantage furnish
ed by figures and how prone the
public is to arrive at hasty conclu-
sions. 1t is not within the prov
ince of the Internal Revenue De.
partment to interpret its report OF
to explain where or how the tax
paid liquor is actually used.
If the brewers and distiilers be-
lieve what they are loudly claim
ing, that the Internal Revenue Re
ports prove that more liquor is
sold under prohibition than under
license, we shall find them this
fall lining up with the drys; we
shall find them during the ante-el-
ection campaign working and
spending their millions to make
six more states and the territory
if Alaska dry.
