EDUCATING WOMEN VOTERS.

Like all new undertakings the education
of the women voters has become fad. Many
of those who are injecting themselves into
the work and others who are representatives
of we'll intentioned organizations are be-
clouding the matter by the lack of informa-
ton of what the new voters require. For in
stance, one woman who represents an i'm
portant educational institution is discussing
the differences between democracies and re-
publics. That is fundamentally question of
civil government about which not one male
voter in a thousand knowns anything. How
many male voters can tell whether this gov
eminent sprang from principles of pure de-
mocracy as those principles were evolved IN
the New England town meeting, or from the
representative form of democracy which
prevailed in the central and southern colo
MES? 1t is not essential to an intelligent use
of the suffrage that these things should be
specifically understood This is representa-
tive government-a republic. The franchise
is only the means by which its functions are
carried out To take the women voters back
to the fundamental principles and to make
their mastery a condition precedent to the
use of the ballot is as absurd as to take them
back to Blackstone and train them in the
distinction between the rights of persons
and the rights of things.
What the women want to know is the re-
quirement Of the laws, in all instances the
statutes concerning registration and the
marking of ballots where that system of
voting is in use so that in doing so they will
express their views and register their con-
illusions. One self-inficted instructor of wo-
men voters spent whole discourse explain
ing how the president might be elected by
the house of representatives, an incident
that has occurred only twice in the history
of the nation and which cannot by any con-
tingency happen this year. But he did not
tell the women that in order to vote for
Governor Cox they would have to vote for
tie electors on the democratic ticket, or
that in order to vote for Senator Harding
they would have to vote for the presidential
electors on the republican ticket. Yet, that
is the essential thing in voting for president

The Queen of Seasons.
From the Rochester On. " Post.

From the city dweller's point of view the
fall of the year means mornings when it is
q, delight to leave the house and sorrow
that the street car tracks are not further
away; it means Saturday afternoons and
Sundays when tramp along lane or over
a field path brings recreation in the truest
sense of the word. When nature puts on it's
gown of russell and. gold and copper it
charms away the sense of oncoming winter
blasts and makes one forget the shriveling
Moons and restless nights of midsummer. The
farmer turns with complacency to the final
job of getting his crops transmitted into a
balance at the bank, boys garner their
booty of nuts and openly pilfer apples
the golfer takes his final swing and pledges
himself to better things next year and the
coal man sings with joy as he hears the
precious FRAGMENTS tinkle down the chutes
toward the gaping furnace. 1t is in the
spring that man buys and absorbs tonics
whereas in the autumn days they are hand
ed to him on a silver tray free of cost and
without any realization on his part

Campaigns for state Office in Georgia are

Many things have happened Many things

did not happen.
The sun still rises in the morning, the

to relax into a more pleasant frame of
mind. The reaction is wholesome for the in
dividual soul of man. 1t does him good to

her not to go with him, but it doesn't
do any good.
I get so disguised I can hardly bear
it. When l talk to him about it and
tell him what he ought to do he al
ways stands up for her. l sometimes
tell him l am going to leave him and
he says if l do he will have the chill
dren. If I should leave him could he
get any of the children? He is away
from home one night out of every
week and leaves me alone. Some
times / don't see him for two or three

good f1ogging once could anything

Bachelor Girl Savings
BY Helen Rowland
Qcopyright, 1920. by The Wheeler

SynOlcdCe, lnc.i
There are two kinds of late hus-
bands"-the slow and the dead.
When a man and a girl profess to
have an understanding" it usually
means that the man understands that
the girl will marry him, if he ever
decides to ask her.
After a time, failing in love- be-
comes such a matter of habit with
some men, that no matter how often
they fall" they never receive a per.
manent injury-like marriage.
You can melt a mans heart as you
can melt iron, as long as the flame is
there; but, once his love has cooled,
nothing on earth will soften it-but
another flame.
Nowadays, you can gauge the depth
of girls mind merely by asking her
whether she regards a husband as a
blessing, a necessity, a luxury, an
affliction, joke, or an opportunity.
Life is becoming awfully sirhplified,
isn't It? For instance. walk is call
ed dance; a cowbell is regarded as
musical instrument: one-room- and

Some girls want to marry for the
same reason that prompts them to
learn to run a motorcar, or to go up
in an airplane-just in order to be able
to SAY they've done 1t.
Making a man propose to you is
something like teaching cat to jump

him to do 1t gracefully, but the aston
ishing thing is that he does,i at all.
