GEORGIA WON'T RATIFY THE
 AMENDMENT

Atlanta. July 25 The Federal suffrage amendment was defeated overwhelming in both houses of the General Assembly yesterday. Fol- lowing a contest that has continued about two-thirds of the entire time since the session opened. the Senate finally brought the question to a vote at the morning session and killed 1t by a majority of 30 votes. the ballot being 80 for and Q against refusing to ratify the amendment
 The House took up the bf1l at the opening of the session and disposed of it in short order. only four hours being consumed in the discussin. The final vote on the amendment proposed by the committee against ratification was 11s to 20. while the vote on adoption of the committee amendment was 176 to 54.
 The Senate mt only defeated the bill but voted down an effort to have the question submitted to a vote of the people at the next white primary by vote of 35 to 127. Senator Rissdaie declared that if the bill passed Tt would mean that the American race would be degraded and wiped off the face of the earth when the women put on pants and entered politics"
 The Legislature acted in opposi- ton to Pres!dent Wilson. who sent a telegram urging ratification of the amendment for the sake of "expe- diency' and also sent William J. Harris, the junior United States Sena- tor from Georgia to Atlanta to lobby for ratification or to see that the leg islature did not act at all Presi- dent Wilson's course angered the legislators and he was time and again denounced as a ~medd ddler'' during the debate. Senator Harris was de- nounced and described as a man who had gone to the Senate by virtue of Wilson's indorsement when Georgia was raging with the war fever. So bitterly have legislators resented the Presidents course that it Is said in the capitol Hobbies that he would have difflculty in carrying Georgia if he ehould again be a candidate.

DON'T BE A CYNIC.

Cynictsm Is a killing habit of the mind and to the woman in business it may prove fatal. She will find her- self in bad with those who must work with her and she will be bad with herself
 The type of girl who is always looking for a self-seeking motive in any pleasant act of those with whom she comes in contact, whose come back when praise Is given to some generous Or a thoughtful or kindly was there in it for him ?' is not on the road to popularity, still less on the road to success. People will TO- sent her attitude and they will avoid her.
 Some young girls think that 1t is smart to hold this cynical mode of apparen. cIeverness. Those who are tru,J wise those who are truly lov- ing are never cynical. To rnfsprise and to beuttle others. especially peo- pie who are doing finer and better things that you yourself. is a oom- p,on form of self-flattery. If you can't climb up beside the good and the great, at least you can drag them down to you.
 In private life that type of woman is bad enough. In business life she is dangerous. She can ruin the har- mony of an office and can take tho heart out of many worker not strong enough to igpore her poison In the end, 1t Is true, she harms her. self uaost,

PALMER ASSERTS COURTS RULE 0N
 ALIEN PROPERTY
Denies AS Attorney General He Can Settle the Claims
 on Goods.

Washington, July 25.---A. Mitchell Palmer, before the Senate Judiciary subcommittee yesterday renewed his fight for Senate confirmation of his nomination as Attorney General, and again vigorously defended his admin istration as Alien Property Custodian. He replied to charges of improper ad- miristration of alien enemy property. made by Harold Remington, a New York lawyer, and Leslie s. Kannard, an Indiana attorney, holding a posi- tion in the Alien Property Custodian's office.
 MT. Remington, appearing before the committee in person, declared that as the Department of Justice must pass on many acts and claims of the Alien Property Custodian's office, Mir Palmer's appointment as Attorney General was highly improper.
 General charges of improper admin istration were made by MT. Kennard in a statement recently submitted to the committee by Senator New, of In diana, and answered yesterday oy MT. Palmer, who presented an affidavit from MT Kennard repudiating his previous statement.
 Answering MT. Remington's conten tion that the Attorney General must pass on claims of owners and credit ors of enemy property seized by the Alien Property Custodian, MT. Palmer argued that justice of the claims could not be decided by the Attorney Gen eraI, but must be determined by the Federal courts in regularly institut- ed legal proceedings. In reply to MT. Remfngtons assertion that MT. Palmer's construction of the custo dian's powers were erroneous. the At torney General replied that these powers had been upheld in every Federal court in which they had been tested. MT Remington, the Attor- ney General said, was attorney in seizure proceedings brought by him and had been defeated in two cases.
 To a charge made in the Kennarh statement that he had appointed "in- conspicuous" men as the trustees for enemy property, MT. Palmer said 700 such directors had been appointed and that all were bankers, merchants and others prominent in business af fairs of their communities. The Att torney General will appear before the committee again tomorrow.

THE TREATY AND LABOR

The labor clauses to be included in
the treaty of peace have been made
public and prove to be entirely ac-
ceptable to the conscience of America
even though American practice is in
some respects not up to the princi-
Piles laid down in the treaty.
The need for seeking uniform con-
ditions in all competing countries is
evident. Any country engaging in in
ternational commerce which pays less
than a fair wage, overworks the la
borer, employs children in work that
ought to be done by adults or in any
other way unfairly, keeps labor costs
down tends to drag labor down in ev-
cry country. Any country which
gives better treatment to labor will
either be driven out of the market or
will erect barriers against the offend
ing country in the form of tariffs and
immigration laws. These in their
turn engender disputes and difficulties,
so that for purely economic reasons it
is desirable that labor standards
should be raised and equalized every
where.
To this end the Commission on In
ternational Labor Legislation pro-
posed that all of the parties to the
treaty should agree that both EN-
ploye"s and he employed have the
right to associate together that wag-
es should be proportional to good
standard of living; that eight hours
should be recognized as a standard
days work; that there should be one
rest day each week; that child labor
should be abolished and that men and
women should have equal pay for SER
vice.
In many industries and many parts
of this country these ideals are al
ready practically recognized, but it
will be long before all of them are in
effect. Some States will be back
ward and others will be selfish. But
the workers who put these principles
into the treaty will fight for them
with the backing of the best opinion
all over the world.
There is one other principle to be
incorporated in the treaty which un-
derlies all of the others. 1t is that
labor is not to be regarded simply as
a commodity. This principle means
that it is not right to employ a man
for the least that he can be forced to
accept. The state of the labor market
docs not justify employers in forcing
wages to a point where man cannot
live decently and bring his children
up in a manner to develop their best
possibilities. The world has been a
long while in reaching that conclu-
sion, but it is recognized at last in the
most important treaty ever put to-
gether.--Republic.
