Why Democracy
Appeals to Women
Record Of Achievements Gives As
surance Of Future Progress

Mrs. John K. Ottley, Associate
Democratic National Committeeman
for Georgia and a member Of the Ex-
ecutive Committee Of the National
Committee, in a recent appeal to the
Democrats Of her State, said:
"As a lifelong Democrat, I am
proud to stand upon the record Of the
Democratic administration just draw
ing to close. Being composed Of
human beings, suppose il has not
been infallible, but the consideration
of its errors we may confidently en-
trust to the opposition party.
Democracy has a great story to
tell, and it is the sort of story that
appeals to the American people. The
reactionary policies of the Republi-
can party are not what the Ameri-
can people want. On the other hand,
they do not desire the extreme radi-
calism which fights vainly first un-
der one third party banner. and then
another. What they do want is a
liberal party with record of prac-
teal, forward looking achievements,
and promise of future progress in
the same direction.
"This is what the Democratic party
has to offer, and if we are united in
it's Proclamation, the American peo-
pie will show in 1920, as they did IN
1916, that their wishes lie that way.
Women especially want the things
that the Democratic party stands for.
They proved that in 1916 by throw
ing the election to the Democrats,
and Woodrow Wilson, We have more
than fulfilled their trust, and today
17,500,000 American women have
Presidential suffrage, over and be-
yond the 9,500,000 who will be ad-
ded by the ratification of the Federal
amendment. These women have a
voice in choosing 800 of the cleo
toral college, which is nearly two
thirds of its total In a very large
measure, these women the country
over want the continuance in power
of the Democratic party"

sections of the country, visiting army

fraud in about a half dozen out Of

hours of debate and no action what
soever was recommended by the COM

White Youth Alone Is
Indicted in kidnapping

The Boyle county grand jury has
returned an indictment against Keith
Phillips, 16-year-old white boy, on
the charge that he alone abducted and
beat 7-year-old William Trimble.
The Trimble lad, who appeared be-
fore the jury, was somewhat con-
fused and could offer little definite
information. He still held, however,
that negro was along with Phillips
in the attack. 1t is believed that
Phillips is of unsound mind.
''No indictments were returned
against any members of the mob that
attempted to seize Lueian jenkins,

obtained duplicating anyone posi-
lively in the movement. Jenkins will

Where Did | Come From?

JnlS question the child Is pound 10
ask sooner or later. There are two
ways of answering it. One way is TO
evade the question, or answer it un-
truthfully, telling the child that the
stork brought him or some such 'fc-
ton. This is a bad way for the child
knows it is not true. If, at first, he
does not know il is false, he soon will.
The other way is to tell the truth.
One mother answered the question Of
her eight year old son with the sim
pie statement, "You came from
mother, dear. You grew within her
body and lay close to her heart for
long time. She knew you were coming
and got ready for you and thought
about you and loved you, even before
You were born" The boy looked at
her, threw his arms about her and
exclaimed, ooh, motherl that is why
I love you So" He had been told
the truth, and he instinctly knew it
was the truth. He did not have to find
out later that his mother had deceived
him.
When any child finds that he has
been deceived by his mother he natur-
ally loses confidence in her. Usually
he will not ask her any more ques-
tons, but will listen to vile stories
from other people and will think that
they are true and that that is why
his mother is not willing to be frank
with him.
Every mother should tell her own
children about the coming of new
life and she should tell them before
evil-minded persons have chance to
pollute their minds. The first impress
sion that children get on this subject
is the one that lasts. Make the com
ing of new life seem beautiful to
your child. Tell him the story of the
birds life, how the nest is built, how
the eggs are laid, how the parent
bird sits on the eggs to keep them
warm, how happy and excited they
are when the eggs hatch out, how
they carry food to the young birds
and care for them until their feathers
grow and how finally they teach the
Young birds to fly.
Teach the children to respect their
motherhood, to be tender and care
full of all mothers. Tell them when
pussy is going to have kittens. They
must be very gentle with her and
feed her well and help her all they
can. They will love the kittens they
have thus watched far more than any
other kittens they have ever had, and
thew will learn to understand and
respect all mothers. The boy who is
cruel to animals will very naturally
be unkind to his mother, his sisters
and later TO his wife and children.
Much can be done to supplant the
instinct of cruelty with loving care
and thoughtfulness in the impression
able hearts of young children. Moth
ers. make your children thoughtful
and loving, teach them to cherish
what is weaker than themselves. Do
YOU realize that the making of the
next generation is in your hands?
To great extent you can make your
children Just what you want them to
be. What a glorious responsibility is
yours!

New Wireless Distress Call.

A novel wireless emergency device
by which ships In distress can ring
alarm bells on other ships within wire
less range is reported by the Ameri-
can chamber of commerce in London.
The present wireless system of COM
munication requires that an operator
to hear call must be on duty. wear
ing the usual telephone headpiece.
The new device is said to enable any
station or ship equipped with spe-
cial automatic transmitter key to call
up amy station or ship within range,
fitted with n corresponding receiver re-
lay. even If the operator is absent.
The calling up, according to the Amer
lean chamber, is effected by bell
which starts ringing ON the ships

1t is claimed that one of the most
important uses of the devices will be
to insure immediate and general at

Coblenz, March 22.-The Spartacans
have gained control of the Ruhr dis
trict. The red army took possession
of Duisburg, Ganbern, Mullheim and
Mettmann, west of Elberfeld. A d.
rect report from Duisberg says that
soviet government has been set up
there. No private telephone conyersa-
tons are permitted except for the
procuring of food and coal.
The red army In the Ruhr districts
Is reported TO have available force
estimated at 10000 men, all of whom
probably are armed. The situation is
considered extremely critical because
of the rapid growth of the red army
and their mobility, which was dis
played in the taking of Essen.
There are about 6,000 troops of Cen
eral Won Waters command in that
vicinity. but of these 1900 are said to
have been forced to retire across the
boundary into the broad area.
Stuttgart. = Regarding punishment
of the Kapp leaders and the expecta-
ton by some that the state of siege
would make necessary the execution
of all the guilty, President Ebert de-
clared today: "Those guilty shall feel
the full weight of the law. All officers
of responsible position and all leading
civilians who joined willfully will be
regarded as guilty, be charged with
high treason and might be punished
with penal servitude."
Regarding executions under martial
law, Herr Ebert said:
THE lawyers will determine. Per-
haps some will be executed besides
the confscation of their property. We
want to punish the leaders, but to
spare those who We're forced into the
movement or acted through ignor-
ance."

GOOD BREAD MAY Be

ing Loaf should BE Appctizing
and Wholesome.

Bread is the largest single item Of
food in the diet OF tn" great majority
OF people. and of the staple foods
probably no other can be so easily
spoiled in the preparation. Some
women after a few failures in bread
making, give up the attempt and buy
their bread. Very many Of us are
partial to homemade bread, how
ever, and are never so satisfied as
with a slice from a delicious nutty-
favored home made loaf. In many
localities it is necessary to bake bread
at home, in Others it is a convenience
and in very many it Is done from
choice. 1t is not difficult to make
good bread, and it is worth while to
learn TO dose.
Some of the points which cause
failure in bread making are the wrong
