HOME AND JURY

One of the arguments against
women serving on the jury is that
mo decent woman should be
forced to go through jury duty"
II that is the case, it is time
conditions were changed, so as to
make juries more decent.
Since women have been given
full rights of citizenship by the
Constitution, it is difficult to
see how they can be excluded
from juries.
As to the argument that the
woman's place is in the home,
Mrs. II. o. Havemeyer, one of the
founders of the National Wo-
mans Party, aptly remarked tn
other day that because of Il
very fact women ought to Re on
juries. The truth of the matter, :"
she said, ''is that women as
mothers, are forced to settle mat
ters of justice almost every min
ute Of every day. 1t may be a
quarrel over rattle, a doll or
a baseball bat, but there is ever
the same matter of justice inyol
we'd"
The point is shrewdly taken.
1t looks as if the person the best
qualified to administer justice is
the mother, who has had daily
and intimate experience with that
very thing.-Atlanta Georgian,

STRIBLINGs VICTORY

NADLlINN1 . VIZ AON
No matter what may be ones
attitude as regards prize fight
ing itself, it would be difficult
not to warm up to the splendid
victory of w, L. C'Young Strib-
ling') over McTigue on Monday
at Newark, N. j. For so far as
Georgians especially are con-
cerned, there is much more
bound up in triumph than mere
ly ring boxing and its various
questions.
The honor and prestige OF
Georgia rested in a measure up
on the outcome of the Newark
battle. The people of Columbus
and Georgia have been exoner-
ated in a peculiar and striking
way in an impressive and decisive
way. 1t was necessary for a
boy to defeat q champion of tie
world to do so, but this very
thing happened. The world title
itself must me groggy from the
experience. But the world that
reads now knows that a Geor-
gia audience did not force ref
cree to give an unfair decision.
McTigue may not have lost his
title as champion light heavy
weight boxer, but he lost it as a
champion martyr. His martyr
dom at least is at an end. The
dramatics staged by himself, his
manager and another gentleman
are now pretty we'll recognized

BURNING

The world row is producing as
much coal as in 1918. This looks as
if we're back to normal, for 1915
was q good average year and coal
consumption is an excellent baro-
meter Of business activity. Better
thar pig iron output, some econo-
mists now think.
The joker is that coal consump-
ton normally increases each year 20
keep pace with the worlds growing
needs. If the World War had not
i.Gtervened, there'd be a much big
ger demand for coal now. The war
set the world back many years.

Minneapolis as the nations leading
flour milling center. Mills are be-
ing moved closer to the eastern and
export markets to save money on
freight rates. The wheat has to be
brought from the west, of course.
But to bring flour down the lakes
to Buffalo costs % cents a Ice
pounds, compared with five cents a
bushel for wheat. By locating at
Buffalo, millers are in the direct
line of flow of Canadian wheat,
and can more readily compete with
Canadian millers for export trade.

Inasmuch as the scheme starts on

Men, Women and
Political Beliefs

This funny story went the
rounds in America generations
ago when the leading political
parties were the Wings and To
cries. At a political meeting, a
Tory proudly stood up and an
nounced his political faith. Be
ing asked why he was a Tory,
he answered.: Because my
father was one before me"
And why was your father
Tory?"
Because ;. my grandfather
"EIuhf' grunted the Wing.
If your father and grandfather
had both been fools, what would
you be2"
A Wing" the Tory answer
ed sweetly.
Political parties for many
years were automatically per
petuated because the average
voter passed on his political
faith to his children. Boys
raised in a Republican home,
naturally became Republicans,
So with Democrats. q
Probably this was because
politics was taken more serious
ly in the old days. Voters We're
gullible, believed everything
the platform orators told them.
They worked themselves into
frenzies around election time
marched miles in torchlight pro-
cessions, ever ready to fight
with fists and bricks in support
of their party's candidates, In
this atmosphere, a Republican
father taught his boys that Dem
ocrats were Satanic. Democratic
dads said the same of their
rivals.
Politics isn't taken as seri-
ously now. Average intelli-
gence is higher. Voters think
more for themselves. And, too,
the old-time elections were
somewhat in the nature of ma
tionaf drunken debauches, even
long before General Harrison's
hard cider campaign, when
liquor was served free in thous-
ands of log cabins specially
erected all over the country by
spellbinders.
When women got the vote,
there was much speculation as
to how many would be influ-
enced by their husbands, in bal
loting. No way Of answering
this question in a broad sense,
Of course. But all of us know
households where husband and
wife voted for different candi
dates, automatically canceline
each others Cote.
It's claimed now, BY many
politicians who keep tab behinc
the scenes. that the political be
lief of husbands is steadily les
and less powerful in influencins
{ wives votes.
The interesting possibility
rises, that a peculiar new perioc
of history is at hand, in which
children will have their politica
faith educated into them b,
their mothers, just as father
used to guide their sons. A
any rate, the average mothe
has lot more influence wit
the children than father has.

French, Belgian, British and Ger

Estate Exchanges these rates
were restored after having been
suspended during the World
war.
The home-seeker's rate is one
round trip fare, plus $500, and
includes practically every point
in the South from points in the
Middlewest and Southwest.
H. H. Richardson, Of Jack
sonville, chairman Of the rate
committee Of the National Real
Estate board has this to say in
a letter to an Atlanta realtor:
,@To give some idea of what
this restoration of rates means to
the South, l will say that the
tickets will from now on be
available to a territory of $780,
100000 acres or about 100000
square miles, of which about two
thirds is unimproved, good and
cheap farm land, awaiting de-
velopment by settlers"
Undoubtedly, this decision
of the railroads VIII bring thous-
ands of farmers, investors and
mercantile men to this section,
scouting for new locations, max
ing personal inspections rather
than rely on literature and
propaganda.
