and PRUNE SEEDS

The Dispatch has consented to help
save nut shells, peach and prum ker-
nels and other nuts that can be used
in making gas mask for the soldiers.
If there are any about the premises,
have them gathered and sacked and
brought to the. office at once.
This work if rapidly carried out,
will help to save the lives of many
soldiers on the German front where
poison gas is being used to kill Amer.
lean and allied soldiers. Several re-
sdents of Cordele and the county
have sent in small quantities. Mr.. and
Mrs. T. j. Musselwhite sent up a

reported, that they are busy gathering
them. Hurry,-please be in a big
hurry!

PRoLONCING THE AGONY.

THERE will be little sympathy, it is believed with the
- eleventh hour effort Of the anti-suff to block the
equal suffrage amendment In all probability most people
believe the measure carried as the indicated The
turmoil and expense of contesting it, should it come to
that, will be welcomed by people in general II one
may rely on opinions based the average election con-
test Apparently the an-uis grasping technical
ities TO prolong the state had hoped settled
and such action will be viewed the hall mark of bum
Sporsmanship.
Assuming that the measure was adopted letting il
stand at that would that the suffs have the ballot
and that the ant-suffs free to remain away from the
polls without endangerng the safety Of democracy or
anything. The importance OF equal suffrage is apt to be
overestimaed by who tackle it from either angle
Those who rally beneath its banner affect in II
the hope Of humanity, and panacea for political ills.
Those who oppose and go up and down the land viewing
with alarm visualize such a home wrecker
and power to pull woman from her pedestal of purity
and domesticty
Observers OF politics where equal suffrage is and
where is will agree that it is neither the paragon
Of perfection its champions would have believe
the unmitigated evil it is painted by those who make
opposition 10 their life work. Briefly their opinion
is apt to he that it doesn't matter muoh way the
other that purity in politics will remain rideseent
dream regardless OF votes for women but that the social
fabric won't he to tauers because happen TO
vote
Feeling that way, they will incline to accept it grace
fully the easiest solution Of the argument Indeed
might say that is the only solution of the dispute, for
the controversy is certain continue until enacted either
Low later. And the poor loser is something Of an
abomnson in politics any other game, fact which
is certain to friends for the suffrage in this new
phase OF the melee
The protest filed by the attorneys for the antsuiis is
far from being convincing As intimated by members
of the election board the counties failing to make
separate report OF the soldier undoubtedly included
such ballots in the total and separating them from civ
lian have particular bearing on results II

CABINET SALARIES.

THAT many would be disposed 10 spool at Secretary
McAdoos statement that he retired from the cabinet
TO make living" was to be expected Such one has
written to the Times point out the fat salary paid the
Pooh Bah of the administration compared TO the earn
ings of some millions of other Americans who feel they
are making living The comparison hardly fits the case
In the first place the average citizen not OF the cabinet
calibre man has right to have his earnings based
somewhat on his ability Furthermore, no ordinary cit-
zen has such social position to maintain, and the other
numerous incidental expenses common TO high station in
public life Perhaps our cabinet salaries high enough
since selected for such service are quite apt TO be

democracy OF similar Importance
Few men assume high office for the money there is
in IT, however much the pie counter may appeal to those
in the lower ranks Of politics 1t is we'll that they do not
for mercenary government is not desired. II is gen
orally understood that few ever accept cabinet portfolios
without making financial sacrifice. They may seek the
prestige and distinction which go with such political
favor, or they may consent to the sacrifice through a
desire serve their country Money certainly the least
of their considerations or they would not be there.
Hence Mr. McAdoos explanation that he quits to re-
trieve his private fortunes is not so foolish may
sound to those who less and still live well As for
his need Of rest when the magnitude Of his task
sidered that is obvious Few have undertaken drec
ton Of enterprises great the financing Of the

one must have imposed heavy tax on his energies and
made him anxious to shift the burden Perhaps Other
factors influenced his retirement but those he gave the
public may be accepted as sufficient On his record al
though not always satisfactory he will rank high among
the nations cabinet ministers. And he didn't mention
quitting until the war ended
