VOTING LAWS FOR WOMEN

In those states where women vote
they come under tie same laws as
the men, That is to say, if there is
an educational qualification, as there
is in many states, woman must be
able to pass the test required in
order to receive a ballot. If there is
property qualification, as there is
in Rhode Island, she must be able to
show her tax receipt Where regis
tration is required of men, as i'll
Georgia women must register in like
manner. In this respect each state Is
law unto itself.
The only Federal law which has
affected the vote OF women is the act
passed in March 1907, which dis
franchises American women married
to foreigners since that time. The
American-born woman must wait UNI
til her husband completes his citiz-
ship, in the states where full citizen
ship is required, before she can vote,
A very cursory study of the cleo
ton laws of the United States shows
the widest possible differences be-
tween them. In few states all bars
are down, and the foreigner arriving
at Ellis Island in May can vote the
following November This is true in
Alabama, but number of states
where it has been the case have
i changed their laws in this respect
since the entry of the United States
into the great war.
When women are enfranchised
they may expect to abide by existing
laws regulating elections. Massachu-
sets was one of the first states to
adopt an educational qualification,
which really amounts to very little
Florida, when it adopted the pure
Australian ballot did much more to
disfranchise illiterates, and Colorado,
whicha has law that requires voter
to indicate his preference by setting
a mark opposite the name of each
fperson voted for, has gone even
further in the same direction by pro-
hibiting any aid to voters. save for
total physical disability, such as
4 blindness or the loss of a hand, which
would make it impossible for the vo,-
er to mark his ballot
4 When the Nineteenth Amendment,
enfranchchising. becomes the law,
women will still be liable to the re-
strictions set by the states. This is

WHERE lLLITERAcY HURTS

In his appeal for efficiency in an
address before the employees of the
Georgia Southern e. Florida railroad
here Thursday Superintendent Peter
not only went over the ground of CO.
operation and common interest among
the men from the lowest to the nigh
est Jobs, but he talked about some
of the every day sensible things
that go to make happiness for
the millions that keep the great
lines moving.
A happy home, home with bank
account and plans for rainy day
"a home with q happy head, and a
household with a happy matron
presiding all these came into mind
as he talked about the many things
that 20 to the making of efficiency
in the work of the railway employee.
He spoke of education, the remov-
al of illiteracy, from the ranks of the
employees as a means Of efficiency.
He credited illteracy with many ills
Of the human race and referred to
Bolshevism the Russian monstrosity
as having COTTON it's great headway
due to the fact that SO percent of the
population of Russia is lliterate.
And what he said about illiteray
among rail employees applies to the
great armies in other industries. 1t
applies equally as well to that element
in the community that knows nothing,
reads nothing, and depends day in
and day out on what comes handed
down by mouth for keeping abreast
of the times. These never think for
themselves. If they ever vote, it is
according to plans some other man
makes.
Illiteracy and ignorance take an
awfel toll. They play their part in
moving the freight car, in handling
the freight and in every deal with
the business public on the railway
lines. They weigh heavily at the
machines, the lathes, the hammers
in the shops. They play their part
with the men who meet and serve the
public and finally they help to deter
mine the good name the line will
have through the long years of in
dustrlal existence. Ignorance and
illiteracy take their toll.

HAUNTS.
BY c. D. BERCAW.

At the Bellvue hospital in New York
one day the insane ward sent over TO
the medical college saying they had
an escaped insane maniac i'll the am
ing room; they had closed the doors
and shutters and wanted some medl
cal students to volunteer to get nm.
A tall Texan rose up and said he
would go if Price would. Price was a
Kentuckian, and could not back out of
the invitation although he wished
Texas had kept still.
Texas laid out the strategy: Price
I will take this syringe of ammonia
and squirt it in his face as he comes.
Should he get by me you hit him with
this hickory stick"
''All right"
They went to the dining room.
Horrors!
AS they opened the door the maniac
started at them from the rear OF the
room. He had long bread knife i'll
his hand. waving it around his head
On he came. Just at the right
moment, Texas raised the syringe to
a level and showed the piston.
The maniac dropped like a piece of
lead. They had hard time saving
his eyes.
This is = gas story that antedates
tie Big War 1t is some thriller if
you think about it.

,NEleHsoRHoop COLD STORAGE

Frankfort State journal:
The storage of ripe strawberries in
barrels of sugar for use all the year
at soda fountains is instituted III
Louisville in a cold storage plant.
What a boon to country folk wonld
be cold storage plans in which the
various preservable products OF the
farm, Including eggs, fruits, vege-
tables, could be stored at moderate
cost for home use or for sale in
winter. Up to now the cold storage
facilities of the country have been
in the hands of spectators in food
with the result that only spectators
have benefited financially from the
existence of storage plants. Produc-
ers | ave not gotten more for the pro
due 5, CT consumers paid less, than
befor. storage plants existed Small
storage plants well distributed
through the country would enable
farmers even town fruit growers and
gardeners, to store many things to be
used as winter delicacies.
Think of having a barrel OF straw
berries from your own garden, stored
in May to be drawn upon between now
and next berry season. Any many a
garden includes a strawberry patch
in which a considerable surplus goes
to waste, or from which the surplus
is sold at little advantage, because
there is no means of storing the fresh
frrit. Strawberry jam is a great thing
il its way, but mere description of a
| barrel of fresh strawberries stoed for
winter use makes ones mouth water.

THRIFT SUNDAY

Sunday is Thrift Sunday through
out the United States. In coopera-
ton with the Saving Division of the
Treasury Department, pastors of all
denominations will lend their aid
to the National Thrift Campaign.
Every clergyman in this country
has been asked by Harold Braddock,
Directors of the Savings Division, to
devote Sundays services to this
cause, giving brief talks on the
benefits of thrift and saving to the
members of their congregations, and
reading the message that Secretary
Glass of the Treasury has sent to them
for this purpose.
The responses that have been re-
ceived from various parts of the
country indicate that this date will
be generally observed. In keeping
with theslogan-"Make Thrift a
Happy Habit" that the Treas
ury Department has adpoted,
Save First-Spend Afterwards" will
be the subject of many sermons to-
morrow Many people, doubtless,
will give thought to this important
subject for the first time since the
signing of the armistice.

A Baptist characteristic is the
difference of opion that can be raised
on any one question. 1t is really Il
Baptist failing to differ. Here goes
one more. Southern Baptists have
no business giving only twenty
million dollars to christian edu-
cation and twelve millions to home
mission while twenty millions so to
foreign missions. We will be thankful
for the twenty millions for christian
education, thought we ever see it
realized. That will be some improve
ment. The whole mission fund for
christian education would in the III
innate mean more missionaries and
missionaries better qualified for then
duties.
