The Beacon published at Plankinton.
South Dakota, is n strong advocate Of
suffrage for women. In late number
it says:
"With equal suffrage the proportion
of sober, intelligent voters, would be
greatly increased. We do not wonder
that the brewers, distillers, and ma
jority of the politicians are opposed to
giving the ballot to women. But we
think all the friends of law, order and
sobriety should unite in demanding the
ballot for women. The cause is steadily
progressing. Wyoming the new State
is the first to adopt equal suffrage. We
hope South Dakota will be the next"
This has been a great year for lovely
women. Now comes the tidings that two
young and beautiful girls have carried
off the honors at the commencement Of
the University of Melbourne, New South
Wales Not only this, but they were ad-
mitted to the degree of NJ. A The boys
in college upon whom the world will
have to depend for its men, will have to
look out for the dignity OF their sex.
At present their minds run largely in
the direction of boating. football and
athletics, while woman applies herself
to study. The fable of the hare and the
tortoise will soon take place on a new
significance IL the fast boys sleep by the
way, while the slow girls plod steadily
onward toward the goal, and win the
race.-Boston Gazette.
