No Beer OR No Work

The Associated Press dispatch from
London details an interesting varia-
ton beer and work combination;
King Khama, ruler OF Bcchuana-
land South Africa, was informed that
a government commission had recon-
mended the sale of light wines and
beer to the natives. He Immediately
declared that if the plan was carried
out he would forbid his subjects from
working in the gold mines.
The industrial situation, already
rendered almost intolerable by the
loss of thousands of native workers
through the ravages OF influenza,
would thus become alarming, for
those who know King Khama realize
that he would not hesitate to carry
out his threat
The temperance party, led by the
king. is strong in South Africa, where
the king is known as strong temper
ance monarch. Also they know him
in England where he has often APP
peared on temperance platforms.

CHICAGO PROTEST FALLS FLAT
DRY ENFORCEMENT BILL NEARING VOTE
A WRONG GUESS
BY ELIHU ROOT

When the Webb Kenyon
anti-shipping law was passed
by Congress. Elihu Root was in
the United States Senate. He
voted against the bill and in a
speech explaining his vote he
said.
| cannot vote for it, how
ever, because | have come
to a perfectly clear and
definite conclusion in my
own mind that the bill is
not within the constitu-
tional power OF Congress.
and with that opinion |
cannot with sclf-respect
vote for tho bill; I cannot
vote for it consistently with
the obligation that | have
taken to maintain the Con-
sttution.
The Supreme Court held the
Webb-Kenyon law constitu
tional despite Elihu Roots
opinion. Mr.. Roots opinion
on how much alcohol can be
legally contained in beer will
probably be treated in the same
way by the courts.

Chicago congressman Wet

Chicago Congressman Wet
OF the seven Illinois Congressman
who voted wet on National Prohibi-
ton, six came from Chicago Not a
single Congressman whose district is
entirely within Chicago voted dry on
the National Prohibition amendment.
The only representatives. of Chicago
voters who voted National Prohibi-
ton were Wilson, Foss, and McCor-
mick. Wilson's district included the
southern part OF Cook county outside
of Chicago. Foss represented Evans
ton and Lake county with only a
small part of Chicago included in his
district, and Mediil Mccormick only
psrtiallx.represcnted Chicago as Con-
grcssman-at- large.
Drys Not Represented
Accordingly, taking the Chicago re-
turns at their face value, at least
144,032 Chicago voters who favor
Prohibition did not have their wishes
fairly expressed in Congress. To
these must be added thousands OF
others who would have voted dry had
the election been a real test of wet
and dry sentiment. 1t must be said
that the ) to | result shown by the
face OF the returns, included the votes
of women mad that the male vote was
wet by greater proportion While
this is true it is also true that the
women should have their wishes rep
resented in the Legislatures and by
Congress. whether or not they are
legally entitled under present laws to
vote directly for such representation.
With their present belated insistence
upon having the people themselves
decide Prohibition directly instead OF
having the question settled by repre-
sentatives in state legislatures and
Congress. the VETS are in no posi-
ton to deny the right of the women
to have their wishcs properly repre-
sented In no way that the election
figures can be fairly considered is it
possible to base upon them the claim
that these figures represent valid
protest against Prohibition legisla-
ton passed by Congress. And it can
not be denied that the figures under
the circumstances do not even approx
imately reflect the real wet and dry
sentiment of Chicago.

STAMP CONVERSION
Is now AUTHORIZED
Treasury Department Offers Through
Banks and Post offices Savings
Certificates in Large Denom-
inatIonp.

Richmond, Va.-The War Loan Or
ganization Of the Fifth Federal Re-
serve District has been advised that
hereafter War Savings Stamps may
be converted into Treasury Savings
Certificates Of 500 and $1,000 denomi-
nations according to a new plan Of the
United States Treasury Department
to afford greater convenience to hold
ers and purchasers Of War Savings
and Thrift Stamps.
The development of the savings idea
is one that has been urged for some
time in order to attract larger invest
ments. The holder of a sufficient
number Of Thrift Stamps may now ex-
change them for S5 War Savings
Stamp and in turn the holder Of
twenty of the S. War Savings Stamps
may convert them into 500 Savings
Certificate, or the holder of two hun
dred of the S. stamps may in turn
turn them in for a $1,000 Saving Ger
tifcate.
Conversion may be made at all first
and second class postoffices and at all
incorporated banks and trust COM
panies that have qualified as agents of
the second class. The Treasury Saw
ings Certificate will be issued in reg
istered form and will bear the name
of the owners. They will yield four
per cent compounded quarterly as do
the War Savings Stamps The limit
Of the individual investment for the
1919 series Of stamps still remains al
81, 900.
The new Treasury Savings Certif.
Gates should prove particularly at
tractive for the investment of the
funds Of fraternal societies, labor un.
ions and other civic, social and reli-
gious organizations because the inter-
est is added to the principal automat.
ically each quarter, the entire amount
being payable at maturity.

livered a short and interesting talk
in praise of Augusta. The cotton was
received in Augusta Sunday after
noon and carried to the firm of E. A.

The first bale handled in Augusta
last year reached the city on the af-
ternoon of August Sth, five days la

HOW FAMILY INCOME
MAY Be DISTRIBUTED
Every Home Should Have Own Pen
sonaI Household Budget II 1t
Is to be Successful.

Every household is corporation
with certain definite obligations and
a more or less certain income, and it
should, therefore, have definite bud
get.
No general budget can be so framed
as to fit the needs OF every family.
Families differ, even when Identical in
size, number, sex and general situa-
ton, but no family can thrive and pro
gress without sound and sane fnanc-
ing; without arrangement Of raas-
enable financial margin; without reg
ula- saving and investments, such as
are offered by Thrift and War Savings
Stamps; and only intelligent aGher-
ance to an intelligent budget can be
trusted. under ordinary circumstances,
70 bring about the desired results.
Methods of appropriation, however,
differ; a metuIl which proves FEAST
bic in a given family would be worse
than useless in another; but certain
cardinal principles may be safely laid
down.
The amount Of possible savings
should be set apart definitely, and
l.gidly adhered to. Other allowances
may be variable or they may be held
within hard and fast limits. One plan
after another may be tried, if liked,
until the best one suited is found.
All thirlgs considered, the most eas-
lily efficient budget usually is that
which allows a certain share OF the
income for zach budget head listed,
holds rigidly within tht items OF ap.
prepristion, and wisely applies any
balance or surplus to the savings q
recreation account.

13 State Have Ratified Suffrage
Amendment.

New York, Aug. 3.-With Arkan-
sass ratification of the federal suf-
frag amendment on Monday, July %,
lit is pointed out by the National
American Woman Suffrage Associa-
tion that one-third of the states neces
sary to make the federal suffrage law
operative in the United States have
already swung into line.
Montana's ratification on July 80
rounded out a bakers dozen of states
for the amendment.
The association also calls attention
to the fact that more than majority
of the total population of the country
is now represented in approval of
votes for American women. With
New York's 100000, Pennsylvania
100000, Illinois 100000, Ohio
100000 population, it has been easy
to run up the figures of those who
have ratified the amendment through
their representation to respectable
majority.
Using the figures of the 1910 cen
sus as basis, nearly 49,OOO,0OO out
of a total population of 91,972,266
live in states which have already
stamped their, official approval upon
the amendment to the United States
constitution, which will give political
equality to American woman.
