SHAW Oil THE BOYS' SIDE ii -4 . iin: 1 ! - tj t ..... j .- -..:m - t POLITICAL EQUALITY AND SOCIAL EQUALITY "You did not wait for woman suf frage," the late Dr. Anna II. Shaw, once argued to the men of the South, "but disfranchised both your black and white women, thus making them po litically equal." This she said In answer to the men of Louisiana when she was asked to answer from a New Orleans platform' the following objec tion to giving women the vote: "If you give the ballot to women, won't you make the black and white woman equal politically and therefore lay the foun dation for a future claim of social equality?" "If political equality Is the basis of social equality, and If by granting polit ical equality you lay the foundation for a claim of social equality, you have already laid that claim," waB her an swer. v"Bufe youhav done more than that You have put the ballot into the hands of your black men, thus mat lng them the political superiors of your white women. : Never before in the his tory of the world have men made form er slaves the political musters of their former mistresses." WHO WILL GET THE CREDIT? The Case for the Parties. W.J. Wright, Mgr. Of the 35 states that have ratified the Federal Suffrage , Amendment, as shown by the map below, 29 have Re publican Legislatures. Republican leaders, angling for the woman vote lu November, have made much ol the larger proportion of ratifications as sured by the Republican party. "Which would be a logical argument," says Miss Gertrude Well, president of the North Carolina Equal Suffrage League, "If the relative proportion between Re publicans and Democrats were the es sential thing. But It Isn't The essen tial thing is the thirty-sixth vote. What good does It do for Republicans t give 29 states, what good for them to give 35, without the thirty-sixth? "It Is the thirty-sixth state that counts. It is the chance to be the thirty-sixth state that makes North Caro lina the pivot of responsibility In the Democratic prospect in the 1020 elec tions. If North Carolina ratifies, if the Democratic party has to come to the rescue at the thirty-sixth hour and save the day for the amendment after the Republican party has brought It to the very gates of success, only to ditch It there, why, the whole advantage swings to the Democratic side. It will be the Democrats, not the Republicans, who will have the vital claim on the women's vote." Dr. Anna Howard Shaw, the suffrage leader who died lasrt year, had warm friends In the Tar Heel state, where her golden gifts of oratory were appreciated with expert valuation. In the hitherto unpublished photograph above she Is shown surrounded by a men and boys' baseball team of Kansas City, Missouri.. It was taken Just before her death upon the occasion of her visit to the Boys Hotel. She had a vigorous talk with these young men Just starting on their bu.si ness lives Some wer newsboys, some were office boys, some factory hands, all Mere young, all had been left total ly on their own resources. The boys liked Dr. Shaw so much that they asked her to be their baseball mascot. If you knew her, you know that she said yes. Whereupon one slim youth opined "Why fellers now we got the Doctor on our side we, sure can lick any team In town." WOMEN VOTERS OF THE U. S. A. Ratification or No Ratification. Ratification or none, the women of thirty states are going to vote for the nex: President of the United States. North Carolina Is one of eighteen states whose women are barred from the November Presidential elections. Here are some tabulated figures of timely merit ' In the fifteen states listed as "full suffrage" women vote on exactly tha same terms as men. In nine states women have Presidential suffrage only. In the four where they have Presiden tial, plus municipal, they will vote for President, and for all municipal of fices, but not for state offices, in gen eral, though there are a few state of fices in particular that they will vote for. In other words, they will vote for offices that are not created by the state constitution. Fifteen Full Suffrage States. Women 21 years State and over 1. Arizona '. 48,419, 2. California 872,802 3.

"DIRTY WORDS" UTTERED BY A REPUBLICAN EDITOR ' The following editorial appeared: In a recent issue of "Stars and 1 Stripes," an independent weekly newspaper (formerly the official newspaper of the American Expedi tionary Forces: "The soldiers know that the Democratic States did not fur nish volunteers for the war." The above sentence, quoted from the Chicago Tribune, Indicates how far the political mudslingers have already progressed in their deluded notions of soliciting the "soldier rote." The same editorial goes on to say that the Southern States ma nipulated the draft to aid slackers. It practically accuses all Democrats of corruptkn, pro-Germanism and treason, and only stops there be cause the writer ran out of words. There seems to be no answer for the Democrats to make, unless they declare that all Republicans were , cowards and deserters and con-, scientlous objectors. Then the Re publicans may reply that only Re publican soldiers were sent over seas, and the Democrats may accuse the Republican mess sergeants of holding out the Bull Durham issue on the Democratic troops. The insulting language of the Republican editor, as quoted, might earn him a good horse whipping, if not a taste of gun play, if he lived below the Mason-Dixon line. But Chicago will stand for anything. As for the soldiers, who are expected to believe such stuff, they are for tunately forearmed with the knowl edge that neither politics, georgra phy nor religion counted for a whit when men were going forward under machine gun fire. The 27th division of the North smashed Mr. Hlnden burg's line side by eide with the 30th division of the South. Perhaps one of the parties may yet have the good sense and cour age to delouse itself of the editorial insects who play fast and loose with the truth about the men who fought for America. Wlien a public man arises who can understand how and why men fought, he will talk a lan-! guage that men can understand, and he will not need to be begging, for the votes of men. They will flock to hie standard. Meanwhile the four flushers will he luckv if they get off with the silent contempt of tr whom they endeavor to bunco. Tfie old-fashioned, personal methods of dealing with political liars would make their case uncomfortable. Stare and Stripes. BEAUTIFUL BRIGHT LEAF IS GROWN NEAR ORIENTAL Worn Down, Out of Heart , Georgia Lady, Worn-out and Tired, Tells How She Was Helped by Ziron Iron Tonic. A special from New Bern says: The general belief that tobacco yould not do well on land situated too near the water In the Eastern section has been disproven by B. F. Taylor, who has produced and Is now curing ten acres of the pret tiest kind of bright leaf on the Da venport farm, below Stonewall, on the Oriental' branch of the Norfolk Southern railroad. i A sample of this crop, said to be the prettiest Mr. Taylor has ever raised, was exhibited In New Bern, and Is an Indication of the kind of ( weed that will be offered on the ' New Bern market during the com ing seapon. The crop on the ten acres is said to be shoulder high. Other fanners in the neighborhood have planted tobacco this season ' nndeir the tutelage of Mr. Taylor. I iHli nersonal nrrifirlenrn 7f Mrs I Nannie Phillips, of Powder Springs, Ga,, is printed below in ber own words: ' "I was in a worn-out condition. My stomach was out of order. I didn't sleep, well. I was tired all the time. I couldn't half eat, and didn't rest well at night. "I would get out of heart andplu t would feel like I was going to be down in bed. Yet I kept dragging around. "We heard of Ziron, and from what I read, I was sure it wouldn't hurt me. If it didn't help me. But after taking it I found it really helped me, and 1 sent back for more. I ate better, felt iuch stronger. I am sure Ziron la a splendid tonic." " Many people, who are worn down and disheartened, due to sdomach disorders and nervous ills, find relle? by toning up their blood with Ziron Iron Tonic.

Peru, have caused the Peruvian Governor to order the town deastroyett and re built in a rat-proof manner, accord ing to William Moss, a passenger on the steamship Tennyson arriving in New York. Yellow fevefr is ragUng in some, districts of Peru, Mr. Moss reported. The town of Patla with 5,000 popula tion, has been particularly hard hit, scarcely a family escaping the rav ages of the disease. The advent of swarms of rats caused fear that bubonic plague also would develop and the government ordered the town evacuated, the people going to the outskirts and living in tents. All the buildings will be burned, the rats exterminated and new san itary homes constructed, he said. 0 l II l 17 I Vfi .111 I '!. I KM It?' 1PM HELPS MAKE STRONG.
