THE SENATOR STARTS RIGHT

Americas Times Recorder:
1t must be gratifying to all think
ing Georgians-and that is high
pArcentage of All Georgians-to note
than their junior senator, by his first
impcrtant vote cast in the upper
housh of congress since taking seat
fejv days ago, was on the progress
siye side.
This statement has to do with the
vote Of Senator Vim. j. Harris last
week for the resolution submitting
10 the states of the union the PROPOSE
ton to amend the constitution of the
United States granting the ballot to
the women of the nation. If memory
serves right, this is the first vote
eve! cast by Georgia senator for
extending the right Of suffrage to
the mothers Of men.
Equal suffrage is a disputed ques-
tion in the South--which means that
there is divided opinion on the ques-
ton in Georgia-because it involves
incidentally another question. But
there can be no disputing the fact
that equal suffrage is Right in theory
at least, and. just as other problems
have been solved as they were met,
there need not be the slightest
doubt that the incidental questions
coming to the South with the advent
of suffrage will be solved too, salts
factorily and justly
In taking this vigorous position in
his first real test, Senator Harris has
shown where he stands; he has shown
|
sive thought and action, but that he
may be depended upon to support
the program and principles Of our
president who, after wrestling long
with the problem of putting the
ballot in the hands of the women by
federal action, lined up on the side
of right, which has always won him.
Senator Harris and Georgia are to
be congratulated upon their showing
in the record of the United States
Senate for the memorable afternoon
of Friday, June 1919.

THE SUFFRAGE AMENDMENT

From The Savannah Press:
The President of the party opposed
to woman's suffrage is ready to throw
up the sponge and quit.
Because the constitutional amend
ment that has been adopted by the
House and Senate with practical
unanimity does not provide time
limit within which it must be rati-
fed by the state legislatures, the
party opposed think it would be use
less to continue the struggle indefi-
nitely.
The New York World thinks this
is mo time to quit" but that the fight
should be carried on forever if neces-
sary.
1t would be useless to continue the
struggle indefinitely. Gradually.
somewhat slowly, but very steadily
public sentiment has spread through
out the United States in favor of po
litical Justice for women. OF recent
years the growth of that sentiment
has been somewhat more rapid.
He is but poor observer of his
own times and people who could not
ten years ago foretell the ultimate
triumph of the suffrage movement.
We believe that the vast majority
of our people want to do what is just
and right. Not always are they able
to do it at once. There is ever pres
ent in the public mind a spirit of con-
servation whose motto is 'let we'll
enough alone" What has always been
is of course prima facie right, On
the innovator rests the burden of
proof to show that his project is a
worthy one That is as it should be.
But when movement in the in
terest of justice, beginning with a
few courageous souls slowly and grad
ually attains the proportion of a great
national movement it is easy to see
that it will go on to success.
# is true that the suffrage amend
ment must secure ratification by the
legislatures of thirty-siX states. But
the members o fthose legislatures are
to he elected by the same folks that
sent to Congress the Representatives
and Senators who have already adopt
ed the amendment. They are subject
to the came influences. i. e., the will
of the same constituencies, and ulti-
matuly they will take the same action.

Here is some more alarm for home
church folks. Somebody at the
bridgeheads on the Rhine has sent
over news account OF series of
dances for the soldiers carried TO the
far flung outposts by a squadron OF
"Y" girls. Let us be calm. The war
front could not in reason be consid-
cred a church. Lots of things there
are worse than the social affairs the
soldiers enjoy and lots of things are
worse than their dances. And it is
not a fair assumption at all that the
"Y" is running these dancing occa-
tiOns. Let us be calm now.
