we tell the truth
about many things. sometimes pro-
foundly. sometimes fippantly,
sometimes recklessly.

for the turning of Atlanta and Bir-
mingham from the political traditions
OF the so-called solid South.
One has not yet appeared, but it
requires consideration and it un-
doubtedly has played the beginnings
OF part that will grow more and
more important as time passes.
The South is becoming Industrial
lied. Atlanta and Birmingham are
no longer merely the artistocratic So
cial capitals of an aristicratic and
debonair hinterland. They are big
and important industrial centers
Their interests become more and more
akin to the interests of Pittsburgh.
Their employers think in terms of in
dustry. in terms of tariffs and such
things.
Industry is more potent in chang

Seven women will sit in the new
congress. The idea that came when
the suffrage movement was borning-
the idea that the woman's hand in
politics would be intent upon rocking
the cradle, all moon-eyed with sweet
sentiments likely to get even more

publicans and democrats.
Women of the employing world will

women of the working world will be

This is not disparagement OF
women in politics. 1t is merely look
at womanhood as something more
. sensible and honest, something more
p mental and less gushy, than she has
o been rated by many of her foolish
protagonists in politics.
With the campaign over there il

The days of contest are over. TIL,
days of administration are on the cal

That is saying a great deal, bu
