HOW WIDE SHOULD OUR ROADS

The standard width of roads of the
future will be 16 feet. Escambia coun-
ty does not want 9 foot roads if it can
afford the standard width The Joint
Commission is planning to give stand
ard roads just as far as it is possible
to stretch the county finances. Nine
foot roads can be constructed so they
can be widened to 16 feet and no loss
sustained in the charge. Sixteen foot
roads now cost $4,000 per mile We
must find a way to build them cheaper,
but always of the best material and to
last. The apportionment of the county
bond issue to the several roads to be
constructed if we obtain Federal and
State aid will be sufficient to construct
16 foot highways; if we do not OBJ
tain State and Federal aid, the money
will be used to the best advantage,
the people to be affected will always
be consulted and no type of road built
that does not meet with the approval
of the majority of the communities
through which it passes.

means and has always meant the very
sanctity of the home. It is the one
way and the only way to keep that
home fnviolate.
When the women of this country
faced world war they realized that
there was something of greater i'm
portance than cooking three meals q
day and washing dishes and making
beds. But they did not neglect the
home even for their war work They
were good soldiers. and they did both,
the work at home and the work for
their country. Today they face a duty
OF eqaul Importance. There can be no
duty higher than that of your coun-
try. Cerainly if 1t comes to the
question of getting up a few hours
earlier, of putting yourself to some
inconvenience to register and cast your
vote. you will count that as nothing
against your duty to your city, your
state and your nation.
Every man and every woman should
make sure thEt they are prepared to
vote in November. The women should
register. Men who have not registered
should do so. And men who have not
paid their poll tax should do so. Wom-
en- have no poll tax to pay. All they
have to do now is to register The

Let no woman fail in her duty.

Press Comment
See What MASSACHUSETTS Did,

Republican opponents to the league
OF nations, administration results OF
Mr.. Wilson, and everything connected
with the treaty of peace, have been
very busy jubilating over the ''over-
whelming republican majority in
Maine, and the signal reputation of
Wilson and the league of nations" in
Georgia. They have not said anything
to you about what happened in Mas
sachusetts. have they?
Well. the Tribune will.
The Christian Science Monitor,
Boston paper, says Regular republ-
cans of Massachusetts look for political
guidance very largely to Senator Henry
Cabot Lodge" You have heard. also
doubtless. that Senator Henry Cabot
Lodge is distinctly against the league
of nations. Mr.. Wilson's adninistra-
ton, and everything democratic in gen.
eral We believe he was the father of
that famous round robin" which told
the American eagle: Tear up that
treaty of peace or 1 will fight you!"
Well. in the state of Massachusetts,
the home OF Senator Lodge. the repub
leans elected by IAN overwh Ginning
majority. as IteutendnL governor VI
the state, Congressman Alvan Il.
Fuller. who has been vigorous in his
opposition to the Lodge views on the
treaty. and notably broad and indie
pendent in his political actions and
discussions of administration affairs
and accomplishments.
Fuller is a '-progressive' republican,
an independent when it comes to his
own thinking. He broke into poll
tics we learned at the time, as "a
business mans candidate" Once in
congress he took an exceptionally
strong stand for the league of nations,
and he further distinguished himself
by advocating reforms which made old
guard politicians of the republican
party fairly SILVER even to think of.
And he beat Senator Lodges own
labeled candidate, the popular young
speaker of the Massachusetts house Of
representatives, whose election had
been conceded by practically ALL until
the returns began to come in!
Names result counts nothing. And
we guess that Massachusetts action
will offset Georgia and Tom Watson!

WOMEN SHOULD REGISTER.
Journal:

| EulbOF JOuTudIs
Since the suffrage ame1Ement be-
came a law, newspapers, all over the
| South, are urging women to register
and be prepared to vote on any meas
ure that may come before the people
within the next two years. In order to
qualify for this patriotic duty, they
must register before October 10th.
Strange to say, many intelligent
women are proving themselves slack
ers in this respect. They were willing
| to give all their savings for war ex-
| penSeS, to knit for the soldiers, till
| their eyes burned and fingers ached
but all that showed no greater patriot
ism, no truer love for their country,
| than does the Intelligent exercise of the
right of franchise.
Some of these women cheer the old
veterans of the Confederacy, because
they loved the South we'll enough to
fight for it. but do these women love
the Southland if they refuse to do
their bit to elect good men to govern
it? Do they want a corrupt South E?
Or a state overrun by thieves and
grafters? by men who hold office only
for what there is in it for them?
Others boast of their descent from
the heroes of the revolution, but when
the same privilege for Which those
heroes shed their blood on the battle
field, is handed to these women on a
silver platter. they turn up their noses
disdainfully, and say. I'm not at all
Interested"
Others say they will not register and

with the negroes. Then they shouldn't
eat their cooking, nor allow them to
nurse their children, nor stand in line
with them at the postoffice. There are
here We face condition, and not
theory. Go to the polls and elect good
men, who will help the colored people
to be what we want them to bean
asset instead Of a liability.
A few men and women say that the
country will be ruined if the women
vote. All who are of that opinion
should make a tour of the iails and
penitentiaries. ma note the proportion
Of men and women. Then let them
visit the churches and prayer meetings
and count the women and the men
present Go to the commencement ex-
ercises of our high schools, and say if
a girls brain is not equal to a boys.
No reform ever comes till it is need
ed. Far-seeing men of nation wide ex-
perience, men who have spent years in
the study of sociological problems,
know that the country needs the wom-
ans vote. They are opposed to strife.
Bolshevism, anarchy, needless strikes,
all wars, will find women, with the ex-
ception of a negligible few, arrayed on
the other side.
An ignorant and vicious electorate
means corrupt officials, who can be
paid 30 overlook law violation. We
should vote for who have shown eff
cheney in the management of their own
business. who have a clean moral rec
ord, and who will work for the public
good, rather than for private gain.
Every good vote kills bad one. Every
tax-paying woman should say to her
self. Il help to pay the governor. the
sheriff, all city officials, | help to pay
for all public Improvements. and am
going TO have something to say as toI
who shall earn and spend my money!,

shamefuuy abused as President Will

Pine DREAMING.


The Tennessee Legislature, which was
the thirty sixth to ratify the proposed
nineteenth (suffrage) amendment, has,
since the official proclamation by the
federal secretary of the state that the
amendment is now part of the consti-
tuition of he Unied Staes, repealed its
action and expunged from its proceed
ings all record of the ratification.
OF course Tennessee has not thought
of it, but if it's legislature can undo
its ratification of the nineteenth
amendment ten. days after it became
part of the federal constitution, what's
the matter with South Carolina I'M
doing it's ratification of the fifteenth
amendment fifty years after it be-
came par of the constitution? Time,
you know, is not the essence of these
contracts.
And again, glorious thought !@Afor
some. If Tennessee can withdraw it's
ratification of the nineteenth Amend
ment after it has become part of the
constitutional law of the land why
may no Kentucky and Illinois and
Maryland, with all the other states
once famous for what John Trotwood
Moore would call that divine elixir
which makes kings and princes of us
ALL" why, we ask, may not they as
semble their legislatures in joyful and
most extraordinary session, Withdraw
their ratification" of the eighteenth
amendment, and let our dear prohibi-
ton friends do it all over again.
The fifteenth amendment has held
fast for fifty years; the eighteenth
amendment has held since July l, 1919;
but neither of these is more firmly
set, in the concrete provisions for
the governing of this nation than is
the nineteenth amendment which was
officially placed in the constitutional
structure by Secretary of State Colby

Florida will welcome more visitors
this Fall than ever before and a large
