Herman E. Howard. a 13-year-o,d
youngster received a good old-fashioned
padding Wednesday in the chambers
of Judge McGlaufiin at Portland. where
he had been brought to answer to
charge of striking a little girl. The
padding was done by the boys father
through the medium of whip. with the
consent Of counsel and parents.
The boy had first been sentenced to
the State School for Boys but was later
put on probation. after he had received
the whipping. Inspector Quinn was sent
into the corridors for something with
which to administer the whipping. A
newspaper man in court. having more
than once been raddled with the wrong
side of a hair brush. had warm spot
in his heart for the youngster. He gave
his belt to the inspector. but the judge
decided that it lacked weight. Sounds
of generous wailing through the tran
son, of the judges chambers few min
utes later, testified to the fact that the
inspector had secured something heavier
than the belt.

q Let Georgia Do Il

The suffrage boom in Georgia be-
gan with rats and promises to end
with ratification. Georgia suffragists
turned themselves into pied ppers
and. boosting a campaign to lead the
rats out of the Georgia cities. woke
up the newspapers to the fact that
the suffragists were tremendously
alive and the rats rather more than
certain to be dead.
When Senator Harris proclaimed
himself for the federal suffrage
amendment. newspapers from Seat.
tie. Warrington. to Pawtucket. R l.,
predicted that the suffrage victory
was all over but the shouting. Moth
ing could keep the amendment back
They said It in Boston. They said II
in st. Paul. in Philadelphia and in
Sacramento.
After which the Atlantic Demo
cratic City Committee gave Atlantic
women the municipal vote and the
newspapers told the story Of Georgia
all over again. The repetitions ran
from a half inch notice in agate type
to Sunday edition spread stories
These stories showed that the city OF
Atlanta was proud of it's new voters.
1t liked their looks. It liked their
numbers. 1t liked their spirit and
their intelligence.
The women had a chance to speak
their minds and they spoke them.
Some Of them said that Congressman
Upshaw's vote in the House had "re-
deemed the state. and that he had
won a host Of friends among women
Of the state by this simple act Of JUS
tice. Congressman Upshaw showed
splendid courage" they said. "and 50
far as it is possible for one man to
do so. has redeemed Georgia from
the charge of being unjust to wom-
en-"
And now newspapers are pressing
ratification OF the federal suffrage
amendment in editorials and in
signed articles over the signatures of
men known all over the world.
