CLEAN UP THE FARM

If the report of the joint house and
senate peniteitiary committee OF the
legislature of Georgia makes cor
rect report of the conditions on the
Georgia prison farm, it is indeed
time for q cleaning out. The very
idea Of keeping insane persons there
and holding them there as prisoners
is something revolving.
How crime and disease must go
hand in hand! The average person
who is in hurry did not read all
he ailments the persons suffering
form various ills, the number of worn
out and disabled persons who are
hanging Oh at the state prison with
one foot already in the grave.
A visit to the prison farm must be
grewsome one for those who go to
inspect conditions. No wonder a
cleaning out is suggested The mem

agreed with the other members of

OUR GROWING TRADE

The Dispatch never appreciates an
lie beast and seldom makes one.
When we state that this community
is widening its trade territory very
rapidly and very effectively, we make
no idle boast. There are business
houses here now enjoying a wide trade
that did less than half their present
volume two years ago Those who
are pushing hardest are enjoying an
unprecedented trade
The town is sending its daily pa
per i'll every direction, filled with the
advertising of the various business
enterprises here. Some houses are
not represented in the Dispatch, but
those business houses represented in
the regular advertising columns are
feeling it, for they have something
to help them push.
Together the growth of the adver-
Using and the strong business activ-
tiles that were due from other causes
are making for Cordele new high re-
cords in business activities In less
than two years several business
houses have doubled their volume.
They have but taste of greater husi-
ness and the business people of Cor
dele. generally speaking, are at work
with dear life
What we are enjoying is but fore
taste of what is coming to us We
need but have the faith in our town
and our own business enterprise. The
man who remains at his post and
works will win gloriously If you are

THE TEACHERS PLIGHT


Can anybody wonder that there are
constant calls for more teachers and
assertions here and there in the col
umns of the newspapers that the
teachers are leaving their posts for
Cther more lucrative places? We are
paying our teachers far too little at
the beginning 0f-t4e-age of high-priced
living and since things have doubled
in price in all articles of food it is
indeed hard for the teacher to exist
A good teacher teaches because he
loves the profession, and he would
teach to the last moment, so long as
theIa is way to find comfortable
and reasonable provision for bodily
comforts. But he must have living
and few Georgia teachers are getting
u comfortable living today.
1t is not wise to presume that the
teachers are going along satisfied
with conditions as they are. Indeed
they are already being drawn into
ether professions and even the lady

SUFFRAGE GAINS
IN HOUSE TEST
Vote Will Be Taken on Constitu-
tional Amendment Tomorrow

| WaShlngtn Jan. 8.-CanVaSSeS made
( by a group of congressman friendly to
| woman suffrage showed that the pro-
posed constitutional amendment eN-
tending suffrage to women was grad
ually growing in strength. Democrat
I ic members of the House representing
southern states, who were reported
solidly against the resolution, are now
breaking up their forces. The result
of this changed condition, adhcrents
Iof suffrage said, was that there was q
possibility of the resolution command
ing thirds vote when it came to
a vote in the House next Thursday.
Encouraged by the optimistic re-
ports given them by women lobbyists
the groups of congressman, in addition
to making Il quiet canvass. decided to
divide the country into five zones
with a committee for each zone. Inc
duty Of the committee is to see tha'
all the members are in their seats ana
voting Thursday. Representative FREQ
Taylor of Colorado is chairman OF
this committee, which will not only
devote itself to Keeping an attendance'
but will also seek to influence votes
for the resolution.
Hearings were closed by the House
Woman Suffrage Committee today al
ter listening to arguments by repre-
sentatiyes Of the National Association
Opposed to Woman Suffrage, and final
appeals for favorable action by DILL
Gals of the National American Woman
Suffrage Association.
Former Senator Bailey of Texas, in
q long speech against the resolution,
contended that women were incapable
NrjJo "a
ties of citizenship, military service,
sheriff service, and jury service, and
should not help enact laws which they
were not capable of obeying. He in
sisted that the sutfra gists constituted
small percentage of the women OF inc
country, and added:
'7'here are too many ignorant Vot-
ers now. and ! would not add to the
number"
Henry A. Wise Wood Of New York,
formerly an advocate of woman suf-
frage, said that women, if given the
vote, would insist on holding Govern
ment offices, invading even Congress,
the Supreme Court, and the White
House, and would succeed in unman-
ming the Government and blocking the
cOuntry's military program.
Mrs. James W. WadsWOrth, Jr.,
President of the association opposed
to woman suffrage, and other speakers
denounced methods used by the suf-
fragists in their efforts to put the resO-
luton through Congress, particularly
the White House demonstrations of
the Milltants and the threatening of
opposing legislators with political de-
feat.
The suffra gists, Mrs. Edwin Ford of
Boston said, were well organized,
over financed and already provided
with g, split in their ranks"

Comment on Visit.

Manchester, Dec. 31.-Commentins
on President Wilson'S visit and urging
the necessity of the assembling Of the
peace. conference without further de-
lay. the Guardian today says:
Nhlle we are talking and demon
stratns others are acting and by no
means acting in a sense favorable to
the translation of the ideal into the
practical and the establishment of a
rule of, justice and good will among
the nations Of the earth.
Italy is creating accomplished
facts Oh the eastern shore of the Adri-
allc; a powerful party is forming in
France. which not content with the
recovery of Alsace-Lorraine and the
happy healing of that historic sore,
threatens to create a fresh sore by
annexation beyond it's borders. In
Belgium claims are being influential
~ asserted not only to Luxembourg,
but to sundry portions Of Dutch ter
ritory on her northern and eastern
border. Poland is threatening and
perhaps actually has occupied Dam
zig, a German city with a mere
sprinkling of Poles and thus to cut
off East Prussia from West Prussia,
and apparently she designs to pursue
her enterprise by occupying purely
German territory further west and
south"
The Guardian concludes:
NOW this is obviously not exactly
conformable to either the spirit or
the letter of President Wilson's terms,
but is an attempt to %forestall the deci-
sions of the conference when it meets
and must tend gravely to hamper its
work"
