Every evening, at about o'clock, a

mysteriously.

and, in the midst of his bewil-

treatment, to cut off his head. p

Woman's first vote in the

And almost suggestive of a
peculiar coincidence, or a decree
of Fate, it was cast upon the one
issue most near the maternal

war or peace!
Men furnish the money for
war, but women, the sons who
do the fighting and the dying!
Naturally, then-quite natur-

The fact that she shed tears

The fact that she shed tears
when she cast her first vote as
the first woman who ever sat in
Congress, with the eyes of the
whole house and the whole re-
public upon her, at the end of an
extraordinarily long and stren-
uous sitting, a nerve-racking or
deal, and such a stupendous
question at issue-the fact that
she wept does not prove her
weak. a.
Indeed. the ordeal was enough
to make strong man weep. It
simply proved her womanly!
After all, behind those tears
was woman's heart!
Back of them was the sacred
maternal instinct; the womanly
sentiment; the inherent feminine
love of peace, tranquility and
the devotion to the fireside.
Some good day, somewhere,
somehow, the very sentiment
back of those tears and which
prompted them is going to con-
troll the world! And when it
does, there will be no more
bloodshed on the battlefield; no
more calling of mothers sons
to go down into blood-soaked
trenches and engage in the death
grapple with other mothers
sons!
Unfortunately, up to this time
the world civilization not
reached that stage-but it is
coming, and the women are go
ing to help bring it about,
The tears that moved Miss
Rankin will some day move the
women of all the world-at a
time when they will demand that
they be consulted before their
war lords" tear their sons from
their bosoms.
And when that day comes
there will be no war.-Atlanta
