mobilization of armies and the pas
sage of one huge money bill after
another at Washington have helped
measurably to improve the condition.
The men OF America, if not yet fully
aroused, are noticeably rubbing their
eyes. And some of the women are
also.
But is it equally true that, taking
the women of the country as a whole,
or the women of Nashville as a whole
it makes no difference-there has
not been as complete realization of
conditions as there ought to be, nor
by any means an adequate dealing
with such problems as are realized.
Nashville, it is very likely has done
better than the average in the matter
Of work. The leaders have not omit
ted anything so far as the Globe
knows, that ought to have been done
But these leaders in the days that
are to come will need a great deal
more help than they are getting
That help can come from none others
than the women. Surely it will not
be withheld.
The country needs more workers,
more leaders. more women who can
and will undertake necessary tasks
and see that the tasks are gone
through with. 1t does not need them
only today. 1t will need them to-
morrow-more of them then than
now, and more yet in the days that
follow. 1t isn't enough to cry a
little when the plan for war work is
preached. 1t is necessary to under
stand serious things in serious way.
1t is necessary to show that Nash
willie women, who find frivol attrac-
tive enough in its time and in its
place, find it intolerable when there
is something real to be done. Not
only an understanding of obvious
duty is required, but a good deal of
the splendid quality, whether in
man or woman-of steadfastness
must be added.
Every American woman, every
American girl old enough to COM
prehend big facts, ought to get it
firmly implanted in her mind that
these young fellows who are going tr
France are going there to defend AcI
That isn't editorial piffle. 1t is the
unvarnished truth. Those young
fellows, don't know every American
woman that they're going to defend.
And they don't particularly banker
for that. They're going, anyway;
and they're going with full will
ingness to make the real sacrifice,
the ultimate and utter sacrifice, for
the sake of folks that they don't
know back home. Now, there ism a
great deal that the American woman
the Nashville woman, can do to
measure up to that. But she en-
at least do the one thing that is open
to her, and do it we'll and gladly.
Also she can do it without gettrs
tired of the job after a week or two.
She can work for the boys. Not play
at working-work.
There isn't any disposition on the
part of the Globe to find fault with
the women of its big family. None
at all. But the Globe has so much
respect for their good will and intel
ligence that it thinks they won't oh
ject to plain statement Of duty.
Let the women register, October
18th. So say all of us.

FLOWING IN THE FALL.

o farm boy! following your pillow,
or rather, riding it, be not weary
and dissatisfied with your lot. There
is nothing finer under the sun than
turning black ribbons amidst the
splendors of golden autumn days.
Why should you pine to leave such
employment and go to the city?
Your heart must be going back On
you if you have such desire. Out
in the country behind, or on, a pillow
you have Gods sweet air all around
you, while in the town you breathe
in smoke and gas and dust until your
lungs are black and flabby and filled
with grit. Out in the country you
have eggs ten minutes from the
cackle and cream twenty-four hours
from the grass and clover and spark
ling streams and honey that you
yourself drew in dripping combs from
the busy beehives, while in the city
you eat eggs that have been candled
twice and which have an ancient
aspect and odor, and the cream you
sip has been churned around and
sunburned in stingy bottle, and your
honey is strained and you do not
know how much of it is honey, if
any of it, and how much is sweet
ened rain water.
If, in these beautiful October
weeks, you are chasing or rather,
adoring, a plow-sulky, single bottom
or tractor gang-thank the stars or
the ruler beyond the stars for the
blessed favors which have been show
cred on you. We presume you have
your gun out with you and when an
arch of Canadians sails near enough
you bring one down for dinner the
next day or you visit the convenient
slough and catch few juicy fish, or
but why make tired city men envious,
as they have a right to be, of you?
You are the most favored son of
all. Alas, you often do not realize

THE WOMAN'S PART.

All females over sixteen years of
age in Tennessee, have been asked by
the authorities to go to the usual
voting places on Saturday, October
18th. and register their names. 1t
will be highly gratifying in all con-
cerned if the Negro women of Nash
vile and Davidson County do so. 1t
is true that this registration is not
compulsory. but Notwithstanding
this fact, it is to be desired that our
women make good showing. Mrs.
J. C. Napier. is head of the registr-
tion committee. She is hopeful that
the women will prove themselves
equal to the occasion. There has
has been great deal OF talk mostly
warranted about the necessity of
awakening the men of this country
TO the fact that we are at war. The

La Toilette and all others were
we'll within their rights in opposing
the declaration of war, before it was
made. But once that was determin-
ed-according to the constitu

duly Constituted authorities acting
in all egularity-once that was done

whether we should have entered the
war should have come to stop. La
Toilette has given a continuance of
that debate, at time when all
should be working together to the
end that we may win the war.

HADLEY PARK.

The Negroes of Nashville, need to
appoint committee, to go before
she park commission and ask that
something be done towards beautify-
ing Hadley Park. The city has been
h possession of this property for over
six years, during which time, not one
aower has been planted, not one
piece of shrubbery has been put out,
net one spadeful Of earth has been
used to add to its attractiveness and
beauty. Hadley Park is simply an
O. aid worn out gully washed field with
no improvements of any kind that
leok parkesque. 1t is true, that our
people gather there from time to
i,ime, but the park commission has
done nothing for their comfort, and
pleasure. 1t seems to be the belief
of the commission, that this old worn
out piece of ground is sufficiently
good for the Negroes. Hadley Park
is monumental joke. 1t has not
one redeeming feature. Its shade
trees are a travesty, on tree culture,
they have nothing that appeals to
the visitor. 1t is stupendous shame,
that our quondam orators speak so
wildly and Interestingly of Hadley
Park when the plot of ground mis-
named park is huge burlesque
There is nothing to be said in favor
of Hadley Park. 1t is a grotesque
failure and our so-called leading Ne
groes know it, yet they will not raise
their voice for its improvement. We
do not envy the regnant race their
Shelby, Centennial, Watkins and
ether parks that are set aside for
their exclusive use. but we would ask
that cur wives and children be given
a sure enough park with shrubbery,
aowears. paVillions, miniature lake,
asd all the necessary appurtenances
thAt go to make up first class park.
Let the Park Commission send out
it's landscape gardner, to see what
.csn be done to make Hadley Park
a real park and not a caricaIure
We are really ashamed to take an
cat Of town visitor to see our park
CD as it has nothing about it that
is artistic or beautiful, just an old
neglected cornfield almost denuded
OF Verdue is Hadley Park, an execra-
SEe nothing. Nashville has popu-
lation of one hundred and fifty
thousand about one-third are Ne
grees. some of whom pay taxes on
valuable real estate holdings. Nash
vile Negroes are thrifty and ener-
and deserve better treatment
at the hands of the Park Commission
1t is up to our representative citi-
zens to get together on this question
and see if something can't be done
towards identifying the old run
uO"H NOih I1dulty
Park, and when we have a real park
ask the commission to eschew poll
tics by putting superintendent in
charge of it who will know how to
keep it a place of beauty and a joy
forever. AS the matter now stands,
it would be helluva person who
might say good word for Hadley
Park (!).
