THE PASSING OF A GREAT SEX

THE PASSING OF A GREAT SEX
Sir: The women continue 10 OFT
away with it. Without hope of per
sonal reward, offer the Following sup
gestlons to curb the playful antics of
our modern Amazons:
THAT it be made misdeneanor
Tor any female to shoot or by any
method ancient or modern TO cause
the demise of any member of the
species male While the law recog-
nlzes that in love and sometimes even
/ N marriage she Is his and he is hers.
1t cannot condone any such unconven-
tionai methods of ridding her of him.
III hat if the physical appearance
% the female defendant be such az to
cause an appreciabIe increase Of blood
pressure among the twelve good men
and true the defendant must wear the
regulation trial garb as prescribed bv
law. Such attire shall consist Of a pink
calico wrapper with design Of whit
cnrysanthemums; the hair must be done
! up IN leather-covered crmpers. This
Will make the jurymen feel at home
and their deliberations will be sexless.
I!l-At the beginning Of any criminal
tllal the jury shall be given photo
graphic copies of Civic Virtue. The
law takes cognlzance Of the fact that
/ the average man hates to be original
he photograph will show HIM that
putting the foot down on the female
neck is old stuff. At the end of anv
trial III which the jury decides against
the defendant the grateful City of New
ork shall present gratis to each mem
her complete hot weather outfit as
worn by Civic Virtue, minus the
sword This instrument would be an
inconvenience in the subway during
rush hours and might also violate the
sullivan law LOU.

CATERS TOO MILITARISTIC
FOR JAPANESE SCHOOL BOYS

OSAKA, Japan, Nov. 1.-Because
they are too suggestive of militarism,
CATERS, which have heretofore been
worn by the boys of middle schools N
Osaka, are to be dispensed with, ex-
cept when physical exercises are be-
ing performed or the weather is weG.
The high collar is also to be abolish
ed on the ground that it is not
healthy.
The women teachers also have
started am innovation, they having
decided to wear foreign clothing
when on duty. 1t is explained that
the foreign dress is cheaper and SIM
pier. At most of the girls schools in
Japan the students wear semi-foreign
dress-a skirt with kimono-likc
bodice.

M'MlATH TELLS
His PLATFORM
Informs Voters What He VIII
Attempt To Do If Elected
To Council

w. 7. McMath, candidate for coun-
ell, issued q statement today in
which he set forth the platform cn
which he inteEds to seek the suffrage
of the voters in the election. His
statement follows:
To the Voters of Americus:
We are in the midst of spirited
campaign for mayor and council.
In years past such campaigns have
been based largely upon personal
tiles. Today the number of voters
has so largely increased it is impos-
sible for all Of them to know per-
sonally all of the candidates and 70
form an intelligent estimate of theii
ability and willingness to serve. For
this reason alone it seems necessary
that each candidate make known his
views upon questions Of local inter
est. If the candidates fail to take
the public into their confidence upon
the issues being raised in this cam
paign, the voters are, of course, in
the dark. A vote cast under such
conditions is vote based on hope,
something even less substantial than
campaign promise.
The most serious problem to be
faced by the new mayor and council
are clear-cut and we'll known. The
men who are now offering to solve
these problems should at this time
have some definite and clear-cut
ideas on the subject. They should
take the public into their confidence
and let the voters determine if their
ideas are sound and workable. With
this in view and to enable the pub
lie to Judge whether | keep the faith,
if elected, / give my views on the
following questions:
am a firm believer in a dem.
ocratic form of government. l be.
heve that the city clerk and treas
urer should be elected by the pco.
pie No treasurer should be placed
! in a position where the mayor and
council can insist, with his job the
penalty for not complying, upon his
paying out funds illegally.
l believe the the board of tax as
SCISSORS should be elected by the
people This is fair for all and
should result in fair and just val
uations being placed upon property.
I believe the board of education
should be elected by the
people. This will result in
| bringing the board members in clos
er contact with all the people. The
public schools are a vital part of
| the life of the community. Com
munity interest, cooperation and un-
derstanding are necessary to fully
realize our hopes for their unbound
ed success.
am opposed to any such income
tax law as that Incorporated in the
recently defeated city manager bill.
| am opposed to placing any kind
of tax, license or otherwise, upon the
labor of any man. A man should
be permitted to earn his living by
| the sweat of his brow free of tax.
If. these views meet with your ap-
I proval, then | feel that made hope
for your vote and support in this
contest. l have tried to make my
position clear.

CANDIDATEFOR
MAYOR WOULD
DISCUSS ISSUES
Asks Bell and Poole To Meet
Him On Public Platform
To Talk Records
FRIDAY is DATE SELECTE1
Offers To Let Them Discuss His
Acts AS Alderman In Court
House Debate


A challenge is issued today to two
of the candidates for mayor, Messrs
Poole and Bell, to meet Mr.. Clark in
open debate on the issues involved
in the present MAJORITY race.
Mr.. Clark also says that he will
discuss the official records Of the
two candidates and extends to them
the privilege Of discussing his rec@
ord.
The Joint debate is to be held in
the court house Friday Of this week,
at o'clock. Mr.. Clark states that
he will speak whether the other two
candidates appear or no, and he Is
sues an especial invitation-to the wos
men voters Of the city. He also says
that he believes that--ha is the
strongest candidate at this time.
Mr.. Clark's statement to the vot-
ers is as follows:
Noting the intense interest
manifested by the voters of Amer
icus in the approaching election,
and that the registration books
show about 1900 people seeking
to cast their ballot in the primary
Of November Sth, ~ reaIistA the
utter itnppssibiltg Of seeing alls
personally, in order to acquaint
you of the claims / am presenting
for your support, therefore for
the above reason have decided
to set time and place to tell You
why | believe | am entitled to
! your support.
at is the business of the voter
! to inform him or herself as to the
qualifications of the candidates,
and their past records as an of
fetal Of the city. Therefore, !
most cordially welcome all to hear
what | would say, as well rs the
other candidates who | hope viii be
present.
There are a good many rumors
reaching me to the effect that i
believe Mr.. Clark would make the
best mayor, but ! am afraid he is
| not the strongest man to beat Mr..
/ Poole,' or the strongest man to
| beat Mr.. Bell. | trust you think
more of your sacred ballot than
to view it in this manner. Sup
port The man you believe would
make the best man for the place.
Don't be influenced by such
hearsay. 1t is for political ef-
feet and an attempt to weaken
my race. | am frank to advise you
that I feel the strongest conf
| dence for my success.
Il advise my supporters to dis
regard every idle rumor or report.
Set steady in the boat. We have
| the edge on them and they ar
| feeling that it is not either Mr..
| Poole or Mr. Bell to defeat but il
| is Mr.. Clark.
"In conclusion, I respectfully IN
vite your attention to notice
elsewhere in the Recorder
today asking Mr.. Bell and Mr..
Poole to join me in friendly dis
cussion of our past records as
aldermen and the grounds on
which we are now asking your sup
port at the court house Friday
evening, November 8, at o'clock.
This is fair and customary. Turn
on all the light possible and let's
walk in the light.
q most especially invite the la q
dies, that they, too, may be in
formed on the past and the policies
that have been advocated and are
to be practiced in the future, etc.
&C. j. CLARK.

Slump in MICROSCOPES.

The general depression in the OPP
teal trade is being felt very severely
by British microscope makers, most
Of whom are working with reduced
stats. Some are only working alter
nate weeks. This Is partly due, no
doubt, to overproduction during the
war, when large number of micro
scopes were supplied TO the order Of
the government, but even taking this
into account the demand is now an
normally small. With hospitals pow
erty is a natural excuse. but In other
cases, such as that of schools, it is not
so easy TO explain why so few new
instruments are being purchased. Ac-
cording 10 one large firm the great
majority of microscopes now pur-
chased are for purposes connected
with mineralogy.-Ma Guar
