will take the main points in this let
and from them make a better and
stronger appeal through The Journal,
than any / could make.
81 know that far too many Southern
white women and especially those in
rural districts do not care for the bal
lot and will not register and vote un-
less some powerful influence is ex-
erted to open their eyes and arouse
them to see their duty. This must be
done quickly else the resigtra ton period
will be over and it will be too late.
If the Southern white woman does
not save the situation we may have
republicans elected to all our state and
county offices and thus be dominated
by the negro vote; for the negro
women will vote and they will vote the
republican ticket, and will outnuInber
the democrats unless the white women
vote and counteract the influence of
the negro vote.
The west and north are divided
while the south is solidly democratic
And sthe negro is republican; so it is
the southern woman on whom the re-
sponsibility rests. Please try to show
up this point soaplainly and make an
appeal so powerful that she will be
awakened from her lethargy."
This letter needs no word to make
it any stronger. 1t is the most pow
erfuI appeal that can be made, just
as it stands.
Again and again in past months
The Journal has called attention to
this very danger, unless the news
papers of the state did their part in
awakening not only the women but
the men, For much depends upon the
attitude of the men towards this
question. and upon the South will fall
the curse of republican domination, if
they fail in their duty 70 their sec
ton, in aiding the women who have
just come into their own, and many
of whom are more timid than antag
onistic towards the ballot, which
within their hands become weapon
for the salvation of the South.

TO TIE WOMEN OF EscAMRlA.

Some registration officers in the
state are insisting that women must
give their full age, on registering. DR..
Stuart ellis, assistant registration Of
ficer and other legal authorities at the
capital declare that this is not so.
Women must swear that they are
twenty-one years of age, but il is not
necessary to give the exact age, &C
cording to these authorities. The
mistake seems to be due to the fact
that section IT'S of the general statutes
has been confused with section IA of
the primary law. However that may
be, women are registering all over the
state by the thousands.
Realizing the Importance of register
ing the women at once. in view of the
fact that the time is now so limited,
Jacksonville and other cities in the
state are keeping their registration
booths open all day and every day, in
spite of the fact that the law requires
that the booths be open only three
days in the week. This procedure
is recommended to the officers of rs
Gambia county.
That the women of Escambia are
awakening to their responsibilities is
evidenced in many ways. The follow
ing letter which has been received by
The Journal from a progressive Es-
Gambia woman, puts the necessity for
registra tion in a nut shell: Il have no

twelve months, of the county six
months, and that you are citizen of
the United States, and are qualified to
vote under the constitution and laws of
the state of Florida
In what name you will register is
matter TO be decided by the registra-
ton officer, until the respective legis-
Iatures shall give a political name TO
women. As it is now, a married wo-
man may register under any one of
three names: Mrs. John Smith, Mrs.
Mary Smith or Mary King Smith (the
latter being her maiden name linked
with her married name). 1t is fair to
assume also that every young woman
registering for the first time will in
the course of a year or two have to
register under her new (married)
name. Indeed, a telephone call to The
Tribune yesterday asked the embar-
raising question: IF l register to vote
for the charter adoption in October,
and anything should happen and I
should change my name before time for
voting in the November general cleo
ton, would | have to register again ?"
While it would not be so much a mat
ter of name, as of Identification, it
is evident some provision will have to
be made to meet the case supposed by
her. OF course no lady is going to at
tempt to vote more than once in the
same election; but then it would be
possible for her to vote as Mary King
and if married that election day and
not required to register her changed
name. she might demand the right Of
Mrs. John Smith to vote also.
There will be no difficulty in get
ting your name on the registration
books and a proper Identification of
you in time to vote both at the char
ter adoption election and at the presi-
Dental election.-Tampa Tribune.

Press Comment
Duty of Registration.

The secretary of state has issued a
proclamation stating that the woman'S
suffrage amendment has been ratified
by three-fourths of the states and is
now a part of the constitution. The
tangle in Tennessee is a matter for the
courts if it ever gets before them, but
until the supreme court of the United
States decided that Tennessee did not
ratify the amendment it stands as a
part of the constitution. How the su-
preme court would decide on that
question is a matter for lawyers to
speculate about but it is not imporb
able that it would only be an academic
question by the time it reached the
courts for, with any doubt as to the de-
cision, it is probable that some other
state would ratify the amendment and
leave the Tennessee question an unim-
portant matter. There is no room for
doubt that the whole thing will be
cleared up and women will have the
vote for it is practically certain that
another state will ratify the amend-
ment, making Tennessee's ratification
unnecessary.
But whether it may be unsettled
later or not the matter is settled today.
The proclamation of Secretary Colby
based on the action of the Tennessee
legislature makes woman's suffrage u
part of the constitution and in the
various states it is accepted. In Flor
ida, the registration offices are open
for the registration of the women or of
any men who may be entitled to reg
lister and who have not registered.
All women who intend to register
should do so at once for they are as
much responsible now for the politics
of the country as the men are. They
have no right now to complain OF bad
government without doing all in their
power to make it better. A great
many of the women of Florida were
opposed to womans suffrage while
vastly more did not care anything
about it one way or the other. They
didn't want to vote but it is now
duty as well as a privilege for them to
do so. Other women will register and
those who do register will in many If
not in most instances be of a different
political faith from those who cared
nothing for the ballot. The woman
who does not register leaves to others
the decision Of political questions in
which she is or ought to be interested.
1t is probable that woman's suffrage
will fully double the republican vote
of Florida and by this we mean make
it twice as large as it would have
been If the amendment had not been
ratified. There is every sign that
without this amendment it would have
been three or four times as large as it
has been in many years. It is the duty
of all democratic women to register
and misunderstanding Times Union.

!; BY r. r. Spencer, M. ..

When Uncle Sam made an inven-
tory of millions of young men within
the draft age, he found a great deal
of unserviceable property and had to
reject 80 per cent because of physical
defects.
This was rather startling fact and
now in these post bellum days we are
beginning to realize that not only
fighters but workers. also must be
physically fit Especially are the
larger industries who employ from two
to ten thousand men, taking advan-
tage of this lesson and most of them
have established departments for the
sole purpose of looking after the well
fare of the living machines of industry.
No one denies that human beings arc
more essential to industry than the
mechanical devices they operate. Yet
much care is lavished on non-living
machinery while human machinery is
neglected and no effort is made either
by the worker himself or the employer
to increase his efficiency and output.
It means a financial loss if non
living machines are overworked, if
they are not run at an even speed, il
they are not kept clean or if the va
rious parts are allowed to become cor
roded or rusted beyond repair. The
same may be said OF the human body
but the principle is rarely applied
In fact, we would hesitate to oper-
ate any man-m made machine without
understanding it thoroughly and we
give more time and thought to the
upkeep Of our automobile or type
writer than to our own mechanism.
Our bodies are left to run themselves.
The great majority of people neglect
their bodies until something goes
wrong and then they are only two
willing to pay for the necessary repair.
