WHAT WILL THE NEW WOMAN
VOTERS DO?
By DR.. Frank Crane.

IF is possibIe that the thirty-sixth state
NAV not ratify the nineteenth amendment
extending to women the franchise right IN
time for the women of eighteen states 10
vote for president this year. Still some
II 600 900 women will vote in thirty states.
How will they vote? Will the entrance OF
.his new body of voters into the poitlcal
lists seriously affect results?
Probably extremists on both sides Will De
disappointed. Women average up ABOUT az
men. There is not much difference; maj
Is why they have right to vote-Decauso
there is little difference -.
In some respects women are worse POM
ically than men. They are more supSece 80 ~
craftsmanship For the political party owes
it's power and conference to passion preJu-
dice and blind loyalty. In these dlrectIens
the female of the species is more deaoly
than the male. -
She is more profoundly stirred by her
emotions which are less controlled by the
ntelligence She is subject to intense preJu-
dices And she has a way of sticking 10y
ally to a person cause even When sald
person or cause is proved to be wholly UNI
worthy
The most irreconcilable rebels of the
south are the women. The women OF the
French revolution excelled the men in their
passionate excuses. The bulwark of all
monarchies, divine rights, castles and hier-
arches is woman.
Hence we may look to women for no mill
cation of the cancerous growth of partisan
hip.
On the other hand, women are much more
than men susceptible to moral appeals.
Their faults, as noted above, are splendid
faults; and their virtues are also splendid.
They are not controlled so much as men
are by considerations of expediency. They
are more willing to do right even when it
does not pay and is not practical
That is the great advantage in having
the woman voter.
She will vote steadily against war, against
alcohol and against red rule.

DOROTHY DIX'S TALK ON
Praise and Blame
The Worlds Highest Paid Woman Writer
BY DOROTHY DIX

child was no student and hated
school, and even disliked to read. One =
time when there were guests 81 GIN
ner at his home some discussion
arose over a point in American his

school lesson, was able to set the
whole company right. His grained
mother related the circumstance IN =
his hearing to two or three frlendsN
on different occasions and wound up
by saying, "You know Benny is quite
a historian"
Up to that minute Benny had never
taken the slightest interest in his
tory, but believing that other people
thought he was a historian and ex-
pected him to be, an authority ona
last he did become a historian and
a professor of history in a famous
| university. He had to make good, and
| he did.
To be forever harping on chill

| them. To be eternally calling atten-
| awkward child's awkwardness can
have no other effect than to make
| them morbidly self-conscious and
shyer and more awkward still. To
face is to cut off the last ray of
hope by making it feel that it is
hopelessly stupid.
But little praise, little flattery
enough courage to overcome their
defects. a little fostering Of belief in
himself will help the dullard to
make the best of his limited ability.
And in the marital relationship,
are not husbands and wives largely
responsible for the way they are

criticizes her cooking, and sneers at

remarks about marriage in general,
| and his own marriage in particular,
is it any wonder that the wife does
| not think it worth while to take any
herself attractive to him, and that
she becomes just as disagreeable as
he represents her to be?
But if a man openly admires his
wife, if he praises her cooking, and
| holds her up AS a model of thrift
and good management, and if no
boasts that she makes her home the
pleasantest place on earth, is it not
| inevitable that that wife will work

NJ their States portion in the fund of
fifty-five million dollars which has
been set aside for Federal aid in road
construction in the South for the fiscal years
1919 and 1920. To this Commonwealth
= comes $4,307,437, the largest single allot-
sment, save those to Texas and Missouri. The
significance of the figures is chiefly in the
fact that the State itself provides a fund
equal to about sixty per cent of the Federal
apportionment, that the total expenditure
= in Georgia will be not far short of seven mil
lions. That the people are freely furnishing
their part Of SO large an outlay is cheering
evidence of the genuineness of their interest
in highway betterment.
1t is noteworthy, moreover, as pointed out
in the current number of Southern Good
: Roads, that Georgia and her neighbor States
( are mot only putting up sixty per cent to
: the Federal Governments forty per cent for
joint highway construction, but are also ex-
pending large sums for road work through
State, county and local committees; the total
of such sums is estimated to be at least one
hundred million dollars for this year" There
could be no surer evidence of the South's for
ward movement and no better omen for con-
tinued progress. The money already spent
on road improvement and extension has
yielded royal returns in the enhancement of
land values, the increase of crop profits, the
enrichment Of rural life, the stimulation of
trade, the upbuuding of the general welfare
But present returns, which are attributable
to the expenditures of years gone by, will an
pear small when compared with the harvests
from the far more liberal OUTLAWS of TODAY.
Southern highway improvements now actual

three and half million dollars. Add the
millions upon millions which are to follow
from State and Federal funds in the months
and years Immediately ahead, and it isl plain
that as we are sowing abundantly so shall
we abundantly reap. 1t should be noted
moreover, that highway money is spent much
more efficiently than in times past Every
State has its good roads department, guided
as rule by business Judgment and engineer
ing science. Most of them have carefully
thought-out, far-reaching plans of proce-
dure SO that the work in each county and

economy and true progress are obtained in

The German lndemnfty.

1.-THE question of German indemnity, in
stead of being settled at the drafting
of the Peace Treaty, was left to the
judgment of the Preparations Commission the
idea being that time and careful inquiry would
be needful to show what the enemy was
capable of paying. It was agreed on all parts
outside of the Central alliance, that no sum
of money, howsoever large, could compensate
the losses and injuries which the defenders
of freedom had suffered. Prudent statesmen
realized, however, that to exact of the German
people more than they could we'll produce
would be almost as unwise as to let them go
with no reminder at all of the costs and
penalties of Prussianism. Insistence upon
the pound of flesh could serve only to harden
their hatred of the vctors and to vindicate
in their minds the policies of their defeated
masters.
= Nothing of that sort was wished by any
: discerning friend of peace and justice The
end most to be desired was in the beginning
as it is now, not merely the vanquishment of
the German army, but the supplanting of the
spirit of German miltarsm, as embodied in
a peoples thought, by sane and, if possible
democratic ideas; for thus only could we'll
grounded security and real concord be vouch-
safed.. But this, it was obvious, could not

ourdened and crushed by tribute to foreign
treasures that they would come, even in the
days of peace, to think of the Allies as alto
gether pitiless and oppressive, and to think
of their own Government through which this
tribute was collected and paid despicable
and deserving to be overthrown. That would
be just the state of mind most impervious to
democratic influences and most favorable to
a revival of the old monarchist and military
order.
Wisely, then, the Allied leaders decided
that instead of STIMULATING at the outset some
such indemnity as forty, sixty or one hundred
and twenty billion dollars suggestions
ranged around these figures) they would
await the light Of investigation and informed
counsel. By just what paths the conclusion
has been reached we are not told but reports
from San Reno have it that the reparation
most likely to be named is in the neighbor-
hood of fifteen billion dollars Lloyd George
and Nitti said to approve this sum and
to favor its being stipulated without further
delay. Objections from France are to be ex-

4 Fertile Opportunity
Columbus Enquirer-Sun seasonably
suggests that if the supply of certain

suggests that if the supply of certain
farm products in Georgia and neigh
boring States is not equal to the demand it
is largely because business interests have
not made it profitable for the planter to
raise those things. 1.-THE Southern farmer
says our contemporary, has learned through
experience that the one-crop system will not
give him the reward to which he is en-
titled: he grows most of what he needs for
himself and great deal that he offers for
sale" But,
"He cannot engage in crop diversif-
cation in as large measure as he should
until markets are provided for the va
rious crops he can grow. He cannot af-
ford to raise large quantities of sweet
potatoes, for instance, unless he is as
sured of an outlet for them. He can
not afford to spend his money and Ia
Dor on a crop for which he cannot find
market"
Commercial and civic organizations in
terested in upbuilding their particular COM
munities and in promoting the prosperity of
the State can undertake no more fertile field
of service than that of providing these need
ed markets Much already has been done up
on this line in Georgia., and the Common
wealth is far richer and more progressive as
result 1t is noteworthy, too, that the
towns which are growing most swiftly and
most substantially are, in the main, those
that have provided markets for food crops
and food animals, thereby encouraging we'll
rounded development for the resources OF
their surrounding country.
There is a demand, we may be sure, for
every ounce of foodstuffs our farms can
produce; it remains only to supply channels
of communication between the planter and
the consumer-storage facilities, mills, can
ming plants, packing houses and the like. 10
the extent that business enterprise rises to
its interests and it's obligations in this mat
ter the common welfare will be conserved
and quickened.

Did you ever pause to consider the
blame, just as weapons of offense and
defense?
Especially in the family circle.
And more especially with children.
We don't realize it, but we gr1 wn-
ups hardly ever speak to children ex-
cept to find fault with them, which
must be pretty wearing on the nerves
of the children. Not to say anything
of being disheartening and discour-
aging. Not without cause did the
little boy, when asked his name, reply
that it was, willie Don't"-and per-
sisted in the assertion that that was
what he was called at home.
Our daily communion with our Off
spring runs something like this:
willie. don't make so much noise.
Don't eat with your knife. Don't
scrape your feet on the floor. Don't
whistle. How many times have
told you not to leave your skates in
the living room, and not to make
finger prints on that mahogany table.
Why don't you study your lessons,
and for PHYS sake can't you act like
gentleman instead of a hoodlum?"
Yes, life for the average child is
just one don't after another, and ia
millarity breeds contempt, so that he
gets to the place where he doesn't
even hear them, TO say nothing of
being restrained by them. AS one
child said to me with unconscious
| cynicism, ooh, mothers got the don't
habit. She always says don't nc
matter what you ask her, so we just
go along and do as we please"
OF course parents say, and truly
| that they must correct their chill
drens faults, and that they must
keep them from doing the things
which they should not do, but they
do not accomplish this by ceaseless
| fault finding and nagging.
| They overlook one of the funda-
| mental characteristics of humanity
| which is the impulse we all have &c

what people expect us to be. This

breast of children. They are essen

perfection. He was tall and slim, and bowed
quite gracefully. Mrs. Smithjones, who had
employed him to impress her friends, felt

NINETY DAYS AND 500
FOR YOUTHFUL OFFENDER

George W. Temple was arretsed or
Monday by Chief Kearney on a
charge of obtaining property under
false pretences. On that day he pur-
chased a suit of clothes, valued at
$4,000 from the Golden Rule, and
gave a worthless check in payment,
signing it John Johnson.
Appearing before Judge Gordon
on Tuesday he gave his name as Geo.
w. Temple, his age as IS, and said
that he had come here from Minot,
N. ID. On account of his age and
this being his first offense his SEN
tence was light. He was sentenced
to pay a fine of $4,000 and to serve
a 9O-day sentence in Jail. Chief of
Police Kearney took him to the coun-
ty jail the same day to begin serv-
ing his sentence.
There have been a number of bad
check cases lately, and in several in
stances the authorities have been
very l%enient, giving the offenders an
opportunity to make good the amount
of the check, but in the future the
officers of the law intend to be more
severe.

PRESBYTERIAN LADIES
PLAN ELABORATE SALE

The ladies of the Presbyterian
church whose announcement of their
bazaar appears in another column of
this issue, are making elaborate plans
for the finest Christmas sale they
have ever held. They say that those
kwho come in search of Christmas
gifts will have a much wider range
for selection than previous years.
Many a busy person would like to
give some dainty handmade piece of
needle work for Christmas, but has
not the time to do the work. Here
is an opportunity for such people to
find just the sort of gift they want
to give.
At $50 a roast chicken dinner will
be served in the basement dining
room Of the church.
