CLEAN VOTING PLACES.

There seems to be disposition to
make the voting places more inviting
at the coming election than at any
time in the past. Many of the news
papers are commenting on the adj
visibility Of having better surround
ings at the polling places, and among
these, the Daily Journal of Flint,
Michigan, carries the following edi-
torial expression which might well
serve as an incentive TO other munic-
qualities than its own:
Now that women twenty-one years
OF age and beyond hape the privilege
of assisting to fil-not stuff-American
ballot boxes. it is imperative that Flint
and all other places, should devote
Z; esh and incisive attention to rooms
where ballot boxes are sacred shrines
Of the moment.
In Flint for illustration, which is
not unlike most other places in this
regard. the polling booths, their ply
steal character their surroundings, in
most instances. are rarely suggestive
OF pleasure spots for wife, mother,
daughter, sister. Especially for the
November elections. polling places
should be cozy and comfortable, for
that is the month when winds blaw
loud wi angry sugh,y in Flint as surely
as in Burns Ayrshire. Many election
day scandals have been associated with
polling places situated so sinisterly
that they really invited corrupt deals
This. however, is not especially true
of Flint, although there is room for i'm
provement. No matter how SUNNY
the precinct, there is always some spot
free from guile which may be pre-
empted for the solemn occasional
least 1T should be solemn.
School rooms have been properly
requisitioned. Churches might vel
open doors of chapel and Sunday school
room or forum, and possibly even par
sonages, for exercise OF duties which
should be pure and holy in their at
mosphere. Where such places are not
available the authorities should dis
cover chivalrous pleasure in seeking
out repositories for voting that will not
be offensive for the better half of cit
lzenship which has come to its owr
under constitutional dispensation
gained by the sex through half cen
fury Of assertion, verbal battling. ever
physical insistence against masculine
politicians

Throughout the state much interest

the part the women have taken, in
casting so large a vote for county inn

Commenting on the large vote cast,

GEORGIA PROSPERITY.
a.aaas :: :
Savannah Morning News.

1t is the best of news that Geor-
gia's Increased tax returns will make
possible the payment OF all the appro-
priations made by the legislature.
Georgia is prosperous state. Its peo-
pie have made a lot of money in the
last few years. They have builded a
better foundation for prosperity than
ever they had before. When cotton
was the great king of the agricultural
parts of the state. to say nothing of
most of the rest of it, the vagaries OF
the cotton market, which were depend
emit upon the desires OF the people
chiefly outside of Georgia, made Geor-
gians either smile or frown, and mostly
it was frowning. But now Georgia is
not entirely controlled by the cotton
market. The farmer has something
else for a money crop; he is building
his farm upon better soil upon live
stock, upon food and feed crops, upon
cotton. tobacco and a variety of other
money crops. One crops market fail
ure will not prevent him from paying
xhis debts. And this last year or two
money has flowed in upon him, with
the result that he is better able to pay
debts and to buy new things. The
money he turns loose finds its way
throughout the state Tax values
necessarily go up. The cities are grow
ing. the country places becoming more
valuable. The increase in tax values
will be close to 100000, 900. which, at
the rate of mills, will bring in an adj
ditional 100000 of revenue to the
state.
There is no excuse for anybody to
look into Georgia's future with mis-
giving. Political results may not
please lot of Georgians. Some of the
men who win office may be reactionary,
they may even oppose certain meth
DDS of improving farm conditions, but
nevertheless the tide of prosperity Is
too great in the state. the basis of
prosperity is too we'll founded, to per-
