WOMAN AND THE CAUSE.
.oor it cannot satisfy

Is life SO poor it cannot satisfy
The spirits needs, nor ever give release
Nor in its fullness come and bid me cry:
Nov art thou perfect. Stay! | am atpeace?"
A little more leisurely inspection of the
recent elections leads to the belief that the
women folks who want to vote have the
right to feel more pleased of all over the
results. They won the ballot in New York,
and in their campaign had the good wishes
and influence of some of the nations most
prominent men.
Nevertheless many notable women have
appeared as anti-suffragists They sincerely
fear the result of piling up duties and re-
sponsibilities endlessly on women's Shout
ders. They contend that woman's sphere
and mans sphere are not mere sentimental
or traditional circles, but, instead, are fun
damental differentiations, which can be OBJ
the suffragists as the sisters Unsuitable who
no estate, however fine, would satisfy, to
whom no prerogatives would be adequate
The poet above quoted puts into grace
full question the anxiety of the anti-suffra-
gists. But the same poet who chides the un-
rest Of the impoverished soul pays tribute
to tireless aspiration. The women who want
to vote can thus quote Martin Schutze:
Is life so rich, friend, that its fairest gift
Yet wakes thy spirit to fairer need
And all its greatness dwindles to a shift
TO dover thy purpose for a greater deed?

LOOKING FOR CANDIDATES.

Already the quest of candidates to be vot-
ed for in the primaries to be held in Geor-
gia next fall is on. Many questions are
raised in this connection. Will Dorsey have
opposition? How about the state house Of
ficers such as railroad commissioner, treas
urer, pension commissioner and others? In
addition to state officials United States
senator and congressman are to be elected.
How will these issues shape themselves?
Who will be in the race for the senate when
the real fight narrows down? What congress
men will have opposition for denomination,
and who will be accorded clear field?
The war is, of course, monopolizing at
IGNITION to such an extent that there is lit
Tie talk about anything else. And this condi-
uon will prevail throughout the election
period. The election the coming year will be
largely Incidental to the main business of
the country, which is the prosecution Of the

CLOSER AND CLOSER HOME.

Events from day to day bring home lit
tie more strongly the realization that this
country is at war, and a SOLDERING of the
American countenance is observable as it
grows plain that the nation is entering upon
gigantic conflict, with the end long way
off.
The growth of this realization has been
slow, due Largely to the fact that the act
ual scene of the drama is laid far off across
the seas, and that only recently have any
of our soldiers played an active part Now,
the casualty lists are beginning to come in
short lists, it is true, but lists which will
lengthen from week to week. More and
more families will come to mourn the death
OF loved ones or worry over the fate of the
wounded and captured. 1t is the price ma
ton has to pay for taking up the fight for
right
In other ways, too, the war fact is be-
ing impressed upon US When war was de-
clared the condition was accepted with com
placency. Many thought it would be only
minor part this nation would play There
was no great excitement. Soon a few boys
in olive drab were seen on the streets Then
company was organized. Consumption day
came, and the departure of the boys for the
camps. The two bond issues were offered
and subscribed. Also arrived meatless
day and a wheatless day. Now, it is in
creased postage, with railway and theatre
ticket taxation, and all the rest. Finally il
is news of death and wounding and capture
in the trenches. At last America is in the
war, and the truth is penetrating.
From now on we may expect to taxi
greater interest, to make greater sacrifices
and to push more determinedly our effor
to do big nations part in big conflict
America now has the serious privilege o
showing Europe that our hearts as we'll a
our money have been cast irretrievably int
the scales

Mr. Hearst has the right to be more than
pleased at the election of Judge Hylan as
mayor of New York, who defeated that al
legged paragon of virtue, Mayor Mitchell,
whose crowd were caught stuffing the ballot
box, and who had the support of such nota-
bles as Theodore Roosevelt, Charles Hughes
and Eli Root, and all the corporate interests
and publications of the city except the
Hearst newspapers. The latter led the fight
for Hylan, with the result that he was elect
ed by the largest plurality ever given a
candidate in New York City.

THE WOMEN AS WORKERS.

From the Savannah Press
The Savannah Press believes the wo-
men of the country are undoubtedly do
ing more than their share toward win
ming this big war. If they work every
where as they do in Dawson, Germany
may just as well run up the white flag.

Everywhere the women are busy. Our
most patriotic, tireless, efficient and capable
Americans are to be found among the wo
men. They are never too busy to lend g
hand when their services are called for ir

TERRELL is OVERSEEING.
From the Triton Gazette.

From the Triton Gazette
Terrell county has prolific rice crop this
year. according to The Dawson News, which
reports one crop of $50 bushels on three and
quarter acres. Hon. j. r. Mercer, who
took such prominent part in the promotion
of wheat raising in this section planted a
large acreage in rice this year as well as sup
piled seed to other farmers for planting.
The result is quite considerable item in
the way of additional food production for

A number of our exchanges are urging
that housekeepers put an end to "pan tot
ing" Two or three years ago the city coun-
ell of Dawson passed such an ordinance. 1t
was widely commented on by newspapers in
and out of Georgia, and a number of towns
passed similar laws. 1t never amounted to
anything however, as it is matter to be
governed by each household, and not by law.

The Triton Gazette suggests that those
who have cooks employed let them off to

on at the time by number of our contem-
poraries.

omission of the usual sugar coat on sweet
