SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1920 Taking It Hard Tennessee is dying hard on the suffrage question. One would think that there is still existent there the belief in the right of the state to dictate a national policy. To have the Nineteenth amendment declared law in spite of the best efforts of the state authorities opposed to it to prevent that completion of the fight that has so long been waged is rub- bing in the fallacy of the pet doctrine of the south that the state is superior to the nation. It should cause those Democrats who are striving to hold fast to the doctrine of state's right to stop to think just how workable is that bit of creed of the party of their choice. Tennessee will see the day when its people will be proud of having been the state to give the woman half of the nation the right to ex- press themselves in the decisions upon national affairs. Illinois has the claim to having been the first to ratify the amendment. The honor of being the last should be acknowl- edged and treasured by the people of the state whose legislature has won that distinction. But defeat is bitter, even defeat that is in line with pro- gress, and it was to be expected that there would be a back fire of oppo- sition, hopeless though it must be. It will be bitter, too, to those who have spent their energy, their money and their time fighting the good cause of political equality of women with men, to have it impressed upon them over and over as it will be, that none of the dire things that have been prophesied for the home and for the public life of the nation are happen- ing. It would be well for the future in Tennessee, it would be helpful to the men whose careers depend upon the electorate of their state, if the policy of silence should be adopted and strictly adhered to in the matter of the suffrage amendment. There is no good to be expected from crying over spilt milk; so far as the anti-suf- fragists are concerned, the suffrage cause is, from their point of view, quite spilt. The Value Of. A Vacation The old saying that a change of work is as good as a rest is appreci- ated generally by those who seek re- lief from the burden of the daily task in the summer vacation. Vacations are seldom more than an exchange of the daily routine that had begun to rub, for a different regime that, if continued for a long period of time, would be much less comfortably borne than the accustomed tasks. Bpt the lifting of the weight from one spot, even with the assumption of another yet heavier to bear upon a different one, affords relief that com- pensates and gives fresh vigor for the every day duties. Few vacaionists experience any- thing during the play days that com- pares with the relief of getting home again. The accustomed round be- comes attractive once more, and the body and the mind are braced for another turn at the business of life. On Conditicn Great Britain is ready to grant the independence of Egypt--on con- dition. Certain privileges are ao be retained by the empire, privileges which contribute to the security of the government in its 'relations to other dependencies. Whether Egypt will accept the con- ditional independence has not as yet been announced. Probably she will It is the easiest way towards free- dom and will appeal to the people as the best way out of an unpleasant sit- uation. When the time comes to test the soundness of the conditions will be early enough to object to them. It is the old masterful gener- osity that permits the mother to name the baby, but conditions that she shall call him "John". The Egyptian baby is not yet ready for 'christening. When it is we shall see what we shall see. In the mean- time another name will be added to the roll of the post-war independent nations. Gulls as Mice-Catchers. A writer in California Kish and Game says that gulls when visiting the rivers and marshes of the interior valley of Californias, do not appear to be wholly scavengers or piscivorous. A California gull taken on March 12, 1912, along the San Quaquin river near Mendota, Fresno county, was present- ed to me. common black whole fleld mice. crickets and three Our Days. We ask for long life, but it is desp life, or grand moments, that signify. Let the measure of our days be spire tual, not mechanical.--Emerson. ATTENTION EVERYBODY Look out for the Mollycoddle.
