A RELIC OF THE DARK
AGES
a person living in a school j
district of the first class,
such as Pendleton, may not
vote unless his or her name ap
pears as a tax payer on the last
assessment roll. The only ex
ception is in the case of people i
having stock in a corporation
or corporations that are as
sessed. Under this law a woman
may not vote in a school elec
tion even though her husband
be a taxpayer and even though
hhe have children in school.
No man with children in school
may vote at a school election
unless he be a taxpayer as stat
cd above. In districts of the
third class, however, any head
of a family may vote even
though he be not a taxpayer.
The law as it stands with
reference to the qualification
of women voters at school elec
tions is absurd and unfair.
Women are particularly inter
ested in school affairs and are
particularly qualified to judge
of school problems and act up
on them. Yet the majority of
women are prohibited by law
from exercising the right of
franchise at school elections.
A bachelor if he is a taxpayer
may vote, a saloonman may
vote or the owner of a bawdy
house but the mother of chil
dren in school is considered
unfit to vote unless by chance
she has some property assess
ed in her own name.
There is no law on the stat
ute books more improper or
more unjust. If there are to be
qualifications for school elec-
i HE war serves to stimulate
business in some lines
and to bring depression
in other fields.
It is estimated that the for
eign trade of the belligerents
aggregating about $40,000,
000,000 a year, of which about
$2,500,000,000 has been com-j
pletely shut off. Of course,
this is a vast disturbance; yet
in proportion to the whole, it
has not thus far proved as seri
ous a matter as might have
been anticipated. Our own
foreign trade, as is well known j
has been much deranged. ith
Germany, Austria, France,
South America, China and Ja
pan our exports have much de
creased. Fortunately, the loss
es have been more than made
up by shipments of breadstuffs
and war materials to the bel
ligerents. Our exports, partic
ularly to Great Britain, show a
handsome gam, which did
much to offset the loss of our
shipments to Germany. The
prediction that our excess of
exports over imports for the
twelve months of the fiscal
year would aggregate $1,000,
000,000 seems destined to be
fulfilled, if not exceeded. That
total has been already almost
reached, with the returns for
three weeks remaining to be
added. Of late, our imports
have recovered somewhat, but
are still considerably below
normal. During the latter
half of the current year our ex
ports promise to be exceedingly
heavy, and possibly they may
surpass all records.
IN THE DAYS OF OLD
EOPLE of the present age
Jj are prone to think all
wisdom is confined to
this generation and that men
of past ages were all numb
skulls and club swingers. But
ever now and then a discovery
is made that shows people who
lived centuries ago followed
ways that we now follow.
The archaeologists have re

aces that were equipped with

THIS MA Y ENTERTAIN
ATROCITIES OK THE WAR.
( Atlanta Constitution.)
The one thing which most quickly
alienates the sympathies of the Am
erican people from a nation involved
in strife is those exhibitions of inhu
man barbarity involving crueltiea and
atrocities committed upon innocent
and defenseless victims, which seem
to be an inseparable adjunct of war,
especially when made by a people re
taining savage instincts underneath a
thin veneer of civilization.
The American people have no word
but that of severest condemnation of
and protest against the devilish tor
tures, the wanton murders, the bru
tal assaults upon women and the
plundering and pillaging, which have
been the accompaniment. In certain
other object, to turn sentiment, In so
far as was In their power, against the
Germans, and to a great extent suc
ceeded. Germany was quick to learn
the lesson. Whatever foundation
there whs for the Belgian atrocities. It
is certain there has been no repetition
territories of the European conflict 'of them in any war territory under
as they have been of practically all
great wars, ancient or modern. It
matters not what nation Is guilty, It
makes men everywhere boll with In
dignation and trust that punishment,
according with the crime, will over
take the perpetrators.
Throughout the war now In progress
there have come no more horrible
stories of wanton, inexcusable and
devilish cruelties than those which
are charged to Russian soldiers In
ea-stern Prussia. A recent dispatch to
the Constitution detailing a report
made public by the German legation
In Washington presents actual Instan
ces and hints at others which are al
most beyond the power of the civiliz
ed Imagination to attribute to human
beings.
For the sake of civilization, as well
as for their own, England, France,
Italy and the other countries engaged
In conflict with the Teutonic powers,
should protest to their Russian a'.ly
against these inhuman outrages and
demand that there shall be no repeti
tion of them.
When Belgium was overrun by the
Invaders, the allies were quick to use
the stories of cruelty that war gave
i rin tn tnr th nnrnose nf arouaing
world sympathy. They had also an-
Oerman control.
In their turn the allies owe It to
humanity to demand and see to It, In
so far as lies In their power, that the
skirts of each and every one of them
shall be clean in this respect. In the
case of Russia, It Is an apparent duty
they owe the world; omitted
