: GEORGIA GETTING WORSE.

More surprise would have been ere ated by the lynchings of four Negroes in the south had it taken place in any ether state than Georgia. but that practice seems to be so firmly estab- lished in that commonwealth that the efforts to bring about a reform have made no headway.
 There appears to have been a plot arranged by those who have been summarily disposed of by the mob and some Of those whose lives were taken were found to have upon their persons come Of the loot which was obtained, who were strung up to a tree does it appear that anyone Of the four fired the shot which took the life of N the white man. There was a quarrel and murder was committed, but so far the fellow who took life has escaped The others may have been interested in the affair in one way or another but they were entitled to fair trial with the bringing out of the facts in the case, even as the real murderer is when caught.
 Indignation undoubtedly ran high following the shooting; it always does in such cases, no matter what part of fhe country it takes place in, but that does not warrant the. abandonment of the prescribed course under such con- ditions. Without giving the laws of the state chance they cannot be de- clared valueless, and if the laws are going to amount to anything, whether murder or anything else is involved they should be respected Otherwise lawlessness and disorder are bound to spread and that is the state of affairs which appears to be existing in the state of Georgia today.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
One Point of View.

MT. Editor: John Todd. one of the founders Of Mount Holyoke seminary, has said that ''Woman is the highest, holiest, most precious gift to-. man. Her mission and throne is the family, and if anything is withheld that would make her more efficient, useful or happy in that sphere, she is wronged and has not her rights
 If John Todd were alive today he could say that woman's mission. the family, has been and is being partially transported over there, somewhere in France, to fight for Liberty. He could say to you again that if anything is withheld that would make her more efficient. useful or happy in her desire to administer to her family, the suffer- ing and wounded back of Flanders or Picardy or in Belgium. wherever bat ties are fought, she is wronged and has not her rights.
 If we raise billions to send our armies and equipments of war, should we not be expected to raise 8 sufi - cient amount to send woman wherever woman is needed, to do what no man has ever done, as she has done, or can ever do it, or to send in her place the work of woman's hands, guided by love of a woman's heart.
 John Todd could tell us that we might do all this by giving all we car to the Red Cross-mother, wife and sweetheart all in one. It is her right No true American ever withheld from ciently to her fanily-her family over there.

merits of the plan. Had it never been tried out the claim would always have been put forward following the loss of ship that it might have been prevented had consideration been given to the suggestions made. That situation has now been overcome and it has been determined that whatever is done in the way of safeguarding ships through efforts of that kind must be confined to the hulkheading of the vessels and the building into the vessels of the airtight compart- ments which however are likely to be greater in number than heretofore. The failure of the buoyancy boxes will not mean that inventors will not continue to work on the idea of se-
 curing an unsuitable ship. Failures simply call for greater effort but dur ing the period of the war at least it
 is probable that the best results will come from seeing that ships are safe guarded in other ways. AS yet the

crew of eight belonging to the 6-inch gun on the Vindictive's port side. As we drew up to the Mole we fired three or four rounds, and one of our chaps got wounded in the leg.
 As soon as the Vindictive got to her berth our gun was below the level of the Mole so it was no good firing ony more. But there came the signal arranged for, which took us to the job of trying to make fast alongside. A derrick had been rigged out to let down a specially made anchor by means of 31a in cable.
 The idea was to make the anchor fast against something or other on the Mole. But the derrick though it held the anchor some IS or 20 feet off the ship, didn't quite go far enough. You see there is part of the Mole which projects under water, so it was inn possible for the Vindictive to come closer than she did
 The special brows projected a good deal further than the derrick so the landing parties were able to get out all right. But the anchor hung just short. Some men on the Mole tried to draw it in, but when we lowered away the anchor proved toe heavy for them, and there it hung alongside the Mole instead of on it | Seeing we couldn't do anything more with the anchor, a marine officer told us to go and man the howitzeI on the forecastle, as it's crew had been wiped out. In all that firing. with dazzling light one minute and dark ness the next, and with the decks cov- cred with dead and wounded, 1t wasn't easy to get our chaps together.

Mir Editor: If the two United States senators from Connecticut feel that woman can do more good outside the
 ballot booth than she possibly can in it, can do vastly more to benefit humanity in the various way she is particularly and peculiarly fitted for, then it is not only sperfectly proper but eminently right and praiseworthy for them to say so, and there is no question but what there are thousands of good people in this commonwealth who will commend them for standing back of their convictions. At any rate, don't bother them and their as sociates with the consideration of such
 matters now. There is a war going
 on in which we all are or should be
 interested, and nothing should inter fere with a proper display of patriot ism. with doing all that we can to help win the victory in this great struggle for the rights of all peoples in all lands. Those who take pride in their womanhood are doing good work very much good work, and the votes for
 women agitators could be doing as well if they would get back to places. Study practical economy instead of politics that will help amazingly Do your bit UNCLE BILLIE.
