A Suggestion
Augusta, Nc, Sep

Augusta, Nc, Sept. 6, 1917
Editor kennebec, Journal:
Just at this time, it may not seem
quite the part of good form to take a
dig at the local street railway COM
pany, as it seems to be having its
troublesome of the lame duck parts
of its organization coming to the at
tention of the public and the publics
officials in a most striking manner
However, as the points l wish to
make have nothing to do with the re-
cent inadvertencie may they not he
considered simply as reasonable sug-
gestions or inquiries to Augusta tax
payers and auto owners.
Right now, before the new paving
goes down on Water street, may I ask
why we cannot have single track on
Water street--a northbound track in
the center, and the south bound track
relayed down Commercial street from
Bridge street junction to Market
Square.
May not the logical way out for
Water street business in the future
be blocks Of new buildings on the
west side Of Commercial Street. They
would not be the size Of the present
stores, yet they can solve the problem
This is receiving attention in more
quarters tran one, as quite practical
and the limit has been reached on
Water street
But the essence Of my queries is
that the automobile public is being
edged more and more off the man on
Water street and that, in fairness, il
is rot being given it's just dues. In
street as narrow as our main business
street must We be INCREASINGLY
sentenced to this wrong condition Of
double tracks. Nine men in ten will
agree that it never should have been
allowed, and simply because It is
there the idea prevails that it must
stay. This is not a fact, as I have
learned, and the city has means and
whefewithal to correct any nuisance
or menace to it's property or to it's
prospects Of future growth and ad-
vancement.
There are more autos this year than
last and there will he more next wear
and in each succeeding year 1t seems
to the writer that these questions arc
pertinent to auto owners and mer-
cants on Water Street who are using
delivery trucks, and to every tax-pay-
er in the city.
If action is to be taken to safeguard
today's needs and those of the next
ten years at least, now is the time to
go after the right thing. Tho Hassam
company will give us an elegant
street. built for service and endur-
ance
DO YOU think that single track in
the center will he best for Augusta?

Speakino Of "Ajlies,"

Aside from all other logical reasoning,
why women suffrage should not carry in
Maine at the special election. the allies to
the cause should be sufficient 10 set peo-
pie thinking. By allies, | mean those who
are endorsing and working for suffrage,
IN order TO give more strength politi-
cally to their organization"
"A this Particular time, when the con-
ditions in our State. national. and inter-
national affairs are overwhelming to all
officials. to add these elements to the
electorate would mean more confusion,
chaos and otherwise abnormal condi-
tions tending toward handicapping the
actions OF our men In power"

the almost daily anonymous commune

II is true that the cause of equal
suffrage for all citizens regardless Of

brightest minds of every progressive

IT, above tele2ram fronl Mrs.

reasonable and fair that We are no
longer surprised that political experts

OF Il public meeting in Augusta. Yet
in cur belief If every opponent OF the

"nnarf,,llv'' as Mrs. Wadsworth has

With Mrs. Wadsworth we sincerely
hone that the voters" Of Maine will

the test real one Of the manhood OF
Maine. We have faith in the spirit Of
Justice in Names manhood. We are
confident that the intelligent class OF
voters Of this State will give vote of
confidence In the womanhood OF our
State
And again we agree with Mrs.
Wadsworth that II the franchise is ex-
tended to women Of voting age, the
better class of the women of Maine
the educated, the forward-lookin5 the
enterprising, the morally advancing
women--will take up their new bur
den" as women always have taken up
burdens. with a high purpose.
Our highest hope in next Mondays
voting is to see women Of the char
acter and intelligence Of Mrs Wads-
worth take up their share of OUR
BURDEN.
The Journal has never taken the po-
sition Of comforting a favor" on wo-
men. but has held TO the doctrine that
woman should no longer be a Stacker
in political affairs We demand that
Mrs Wa6svorth and the writer's wife
and daughters take up their duties
ard assume their responsibilities right
manfu!ly
We cannot force them TO do so by
extending suffrage to them, as tie
siily claim has been made by some OF
the Ants, but we have always trusted
to the great light which Mrs. Wads-
worth admissible recognition Of a
new duty
We are confident of the result of
