Why Against Suffrage?

YHyE have tried out the attitude of the pol
Wv ticians in this state who continue to keep up the
fight against woman suffrage.
We are speaking of the politicians only, the men who
always figure out ahead what is the most expedlent
course for them pursue and who as rule care non
ing for principle. There is always underlying sehsh
motive in everything these do and at the moment
It looks like have good many in this state who are
anxious to display their anmosity toward woman SUI
frage. - H,''
They are too farghted to believe that they are gong
to defeat it, delay its coming very soon IN TINS
country and they also must that their attitude is
going hurt the democratic party and hurt the state
of Georgia whether the democrats win next time or not
If democracy wins will be in spite of the Georgia re-
dictionaries and will them nothing, and II 1T loses,
the reactonares would have to look to the republicans
for their reward and rewards what they are out al
ter Can it be that this is what they expect!
- They have already seeded from the democratic party
INT the republicans also have declared for suffrage, SO
what is there to gain by the continued opposition!
Do they think that majority of Georgia women are
against the franchise and therefore will support them
when they become qualified account OF their present
oppopsition to it?
We believe there is a sordid reason somewhere Tor
the present oudmouhed opposition but we are not sure
just what it is yet, time perhaps will disclose IT,

One Great Possible Reform

rwyHEN the worlds war started Germany had many
Wv advantages the rest of the world and not the
least of them system In fact all of her ehcency
and preparedness founded upon system. Her army
was the result of long years of systematic training and
the plan its support and supply was the most syste
matte ever devised by man.
Other nations at once forced to adopt many OF
the systematic practices of Germany in their struggle
against the mighty machine of Germany One of the most
serious causes of delay and lack of intelligent
ton on the part of the allies their lack of great and
single system under which to operate Each nation had
different SYSTEM so had any at ALL for each fea
ture of the operations and much time was lost be-
fore unity of action could be secured
But the particular system which the Germans and
which we want write about is Standardization and
the more particular branch of this subject the universal
Standardization of coinage, weights and measures we
wish to urge upon country the importance OF the
adoption of the decimal system We already have 1t IN
our coinage and are therefore just step ahead OF
England but we should also express weights and meas
ures in decimals.
In the daily computations of business in this country
alone hundreds of thousands of dollars worth OF Tune
wasted for lack of such system The system is so simple
that it might be adopted almost without cost and thor
uobv understood by every person capable of counting
money within few days-hours if the study is made
of it.
And again. think of the saving in time in teaching
mathematics One of the most celebrated college PROBES
sors has said that with the metertergram system o.
weights and measures years might be saved IN he
time required to teach child mathematics. NOBODY ais
putes this statement and all thinking men agree.
IF the recommendation of Thomas Jefferson had beer
carried out when our system of weights and measure
was formulated should have had the decimal system
instead of our present cumbersome one.
We wish it understood that not advocating th
adoption of German invention for the Arabs invented
decimal figures and used them first and the Germans SIM
nliad IN of
and in this they alone for every other nation OF
earth does the same except the United States, Canada
England Australia and New Zealand.
Our schools are now supposed to teach something o
the decimal system known the meter system, but
rule the teachers and students do not think they vii
ever have any use for it, and either skip this chapter
go over it in careless way. Our great of ever
party and profession recognize the need of this grea
economic reform, but long the common people d
- not demand it there will be change.

Capitol Safe in Atlanta

a GREAT connection is being made in Atlanta and
N Macon about the possible removal of the capitol,
but we do not believe any who wishes to stay in
Atlanta need be alarmed.
We do not believe that any considerable number of
people really want to change the location Of the capitol
Take for instance the people of Vadosta Waycross or
Townsville When they have to to Atlanta they take
an evening sleeper and get up in Atlanta next morning
and return home the way If they had to stop in
Macon not of the sleeping space is availa
be unless they get up and get out in the middle Of the
night This because of the enormous through car SER
vice to Florida most available for the Atlanta traffic
But the point is that ninety per cent of the people do
not care where the capitol is located and about half OF
the balance want it to stay in Atlanta.
If we thought great majority of the people of the
state wanted Macon for the capitol should not care
to oppose it, but do not think such the case at all

Should Repay "Peter"

COVERNOR DORSEY ''robbed Peter to pay PAUL.
Tthis spring when he took the automobile tax money
belonging the various counties of the state to pay the
balance of the pensions of the Confederate veterans
The cause was worthy and the necessity great,
but now resolution has been introduced in the egsa-
ture which provides that the state shall wait until this
fall when the corporation taxes come in to pay the coun
ties their auto tax money.
1t is pointed out that if this not done the state will
have borrow money for this purpose which OF course
should be avoided if possible But on the other hand
"Peter" needs his money, and wants it now
The counties nearly all need this to tide over payros
and small cash expenses of the summer and few Of the
counties are in any better position borrow the
than the state is The counties only get money on
long time notes while the state could get it for 80 days
to meet this emergency.
peter needs his money and think he ought to have
it and we trust the legislature will not insist in making
him wait until fall for it.

LAST WEEK WAS THE
 WAR|MEST 0F SEASON

The highest temperatures of the season prevailed most of last week over the greater part of Arizona. This fact has been revealed in the report of the L. s. weather bureau for the week ending March r. The report makes no prediction as to the indications of summer soon, but merely contents it. self with adding that the latter part of the week the fair and warm wealth CT was followed by general snow and rain.
 A sharp fall in temperature resulted from the storm, the report points out, though most Arizonians are able to remember this fact unaided. Snow was general over all the elevated country, while rain fell in quantities in the lowlands and on the deserts. This is not considered as unfavorable by the report. but as having done great good to crop and soil conditions.
 Snow now appears, says the report, only in the northern exposures and in protected places.
 | The lowest temperature of the week, f degrees, was scored in the Grand Canyon, while Phoenix and Yuma tied honors with 30. Phoenix also led in precipitation, with s of an inch.
