R. Cot ten, of Bruce, honorary president of the State Federation, on the Australian bai lot is deemed by Mrs. Sydney P. Cooper so valuable for the Information of club women In North Carolina that It la In cluded in the Federation notes. Speak ing on the subject of "What Every Woman Should Know," Mrs. Cotten said: "Barrle, the great playwright, added to his fame by writing a play called 'What Every Woman Knows.' If he has thus added to his fame by demon stratlng what every woman already knows, perhaps we may add to our usefulness by considering some things that every woman should know, ana thereby lead her to think about some things she does not know. 'I am not going to aay that every woman should know how to cook and keep her house tidy. I am sura she does the best she can along those lines. Nor shall I tell her how to raise her children so as to make them a joy to the community. I grant that every woman should know how to do all things, and bear all things, and to be all things lovely under all conditions, and yet she will need other knowledge to guide her in the new pathway now opening before her. "That wise man, Solomon, nas saio, 'Get wisdom, and with all thy getting, get understanding.' Now what did he mean? Whatls the difference between wisdom and knowledge? Knowledge may be gained from many sources; wisdom comes from experience in ap plying that knowledge to life; and understanding Is the knowing how to apply wisdom so as to be sure of the best results. Knowledge leads to ex periments which, may result In disas ter, but wisdom comes from repeated effort and to understand how to apply our wisdom will make the results sure. Solomon knew, and he warned us what to get. Today every w man Is having new experiences from which much new knowledge will come. But she must 'get understanding' of how to apply ner new knowledfre. so that she will not repeat the mistakes that man has made, nor make new ones. Hkould Leara About Ballot. . "To equip her for the new duties required of her, she has been given a weapon new to her, but old to the world. That weapon is the ballot, and everj woman should know how to use It for the best results. She always desires the- best results, but they are not always certain, or easy to obtain. She may be a good wife and mother, he mav be a good neighbor and friend, she may be lovely in character, and yet if she be not wise and 'get understanding' of her new responsi bilities, she may fail as a :itlten, be cause the ballot is a two-cdsed sword, capablo of good and evil. The ballot Is not a divine benefaction. God said 'Thou shalt labor,' but He never said, 'Thou shalt vote.' The ballot Is a man made device, deslffped to promote his uttompta at self-government. Many of his failures are due to his care less use of this man-made tool, and now, it has come to pass that woman must help him correct his mistakes. To do this, she must 'get understand ing,' and know why one method' of voting Is better than another, and why fraud, Intimidation and disorder have beset the polls in the past "The evolution of the ballot shows man ever struggling to eliminate fraud, and trying to find a way for the honest expression of the wishes of the people governed. Always he has had to encounter possible fraud, or pos sible defeat. Now woman must either repeat his mistakes, or gain wisdom from man's experiments and apply her understanding In securing betlir con ditions for the human race. Otherwise, her enfranchisement was unnecessary, and her voting would be In vain. "An eleotlon Is a very complicated thing. Many and varied duties are in volved in which all parties are inter ested, and every woman should get understanding of Its complex ma chinery. Eleotlon days hava been times of fighting, drinking, and heat Ing, until it Is no wonder men declar ed the polls no tit place for women. Australian Ballot. "In far-away Australia the first orderly election law was passed be cause It was a public necessity. No one claims perfection for that famous law, but it was a great advance to wards an honest election, and la - the heat method yet devised by which a trim democratlo government may be realized. "Australia, having been England's penal colony had a large population of criminals Increased by unprincipled auld-seekers. and election days be- camo riots to be dreaded by respect able cltlsens. They resolved to change their method of voting. It took seven years to do it, but finally order roignr ed where' violence had been regnant. That law provided for a secret ballot, protected by laws for its enforce ment, and penalties for the failure to enforce them. Freedom In casting the vote Is the vital part of all election laws. The Australian law require this to be done In a closed booth where no one Is allowed except the parson cast Ing the vote. He passes In at one en trance, ballot In hand, marks It as he pleases, deposits It in a closed box and passes out by another way, giv ins place to another voter. No force, no persuasion, no intimidation in the booth, and no poll-holder inspects the vote. "Every woman should know the election law under which she la' en titled to vote, and should be permitted to cast her vote without fear of of fense to others, and without Intimida tion, or undue Influence from those she loves and respects. System Spreads. "Being a desirable thing, the Aus tralian ballot soon spread to other countries, but we have not time to follow Its growth. In 1888 the state of Massachusetts passed the Australian bulluf law, and continues to use it. Every state In the United States uses some modified form of the Australian ballot, except seven, and North Caro lina Is one of the few which refuses to try It Why the men of Massachu setts after thirty years of trial con tinue to use It while the men of North Carolina refuse even to try It. Is a political riddle I will not attempt to solve. But every woman should know what the Australian ballot Is, and why we do not use It Our concern is not for Australia, nor for Massachusetts, but for our beloved North Carolina, and every woman should know and re member the facts I am about to (lata Elections In This State. "The constitution of North Caro lina says, in Section 10 of Article 1 that 'All elections ought to be tree,' not 'all elections shall be free,' but 'ought to be free,' thua leaving- open to all political parties a possible gate for the entrance of fraud. The elec tion law of North Carolina Is not bad, It only needa a few amendments en forced to make It as good as the1 Aus tralian ballot. In the aectlon which provides for conducting It, It saya 'Cer tain spaces may be kept open, and may be roped off when In both places It should be 'shall be.' Also a provision Is included which reads that thla sec tion shall not be construed as com pulsory, which makea the entire seo tlon null and void, for a statute which Is not compulsory Is not a law. "I have not time tonight to en large on thla point, but I wish to em phasize the great need of 4 ehange In our law, if woman la to fulfill what Is expected of her. The ballot has been given to her bcauae men believed she could and would help them bring about better conditions for humanity. To do her full duty, every woman should know the different methods of voting, and 'get understanding, of what Is the best method; anu then, never cease her, effort until she, has secured the best Every woman should know how many subtle forms Intimi dation can assume, and prepare her self to resist all these forms and let her vote be the expression of her own conviction. For this, a secret bal lot protected by law is neoessary. A secret ballot la the only free ballot "Making the world safe for de mocracy and making democracy aafe for the world are phrases which mean nothing without a free ballot, legally protected and enforced. It may be hard to obtain, but It Is worth the effort The Ideal Is never realized without a struggle, and the eternal struggle for better things Is always with us. Wo men do not fear It The welfare of their children, their homes, their state, their country, all cry out to them for better conditions. They will head the cry, and the struggle will not be in vain. "In conclusion, I say to every wom an, 'Get understanding' of your pub lic duties, and then 'first to thine own self be true, and it shall follow a the night the day, thou canst not then be false to any man.'" , Store Will Be Open Night Until Christmas.

Territorial Limits To Be Determined Por Use Dnrlnsr War. (Conrtist. 1111. br rluliMoali rublli tetar.) Pckin, Nov. 1. Definite plan for a resurvey of the coast of China have been formed by the hydrographlc bureau, acting under instructions from the minister of the navy, which has designated the yacht Dlenklng and the cruiser Tungchl for the - work.

" The necessity of an accurate marine survey for China In time of war Is that.
