ments to the National Constitution,
which clearly define and secure the
rights Of citizens to vote, is added !:
Congress shall have power to enforce
this Article by appropriate legislation"
fhe right to vote then, eomes by virtue
OF being Il lawful citizen Of the United
States. This being a selfevident truth,
how can any State withhold immuni-
ties and privileges which she does not
profess to bestow? Voters OF Nevada,
ask your innermost, patriotic conscience
is it right, or is it just to withhold
(any longer than the necessary amend
ment to our State Constitution can con-
fer) the franchise from the women Of
Nevada, who have, and are still labor
ing for the best interests Of our COM
monwealth2 They are only asking
their equal share of those rights clearly
defined in the Constitution of the
United States. Women claim that to
be an American citizen should be a
boast, not the dement, men own it to be
when they proclaim that ''politics is too
filthy pool for women"
1t was for the women and children
that the Greeks turned their faces to
the foe on the field OF Marathon and
achieved a victory which was a turning
point in the civilization of that age.
Let us hope that the voters of Nevada
and of other States will make Il turn
ing point in our civilization by granting
the franchise to women. II future gem
.rations are to reinstate the patriotism
of their remote ancestors, il they are to
be loyal American citizens, womanly
women, manly men, they must learn
The lesson where the Revolutionary
fathers learned tat their mothers

rhythmic cadence, that equal political
rights are foremost among her highest
and noblest duties. Fellow-Suffragists,

bright till victory is ours.

FRUTLESS EFFORT.

What good would it do this country
at this time ii the government did con-
troll the railways and otherlines of ans
portation, the telegraph, telephones,
etc.
In England, Germany, Austria and
Russia the government controls all OF
these instrumentalities OF commerce..
If we look at the condition of the people
in those countries we find, in England,
hat a man who labors for a living, if he
has a family, is unable to support that
family, except with the combined labor
Of himself, his wife and his children.
1t is no uncommon thing to see children
herded from one farm to another dur
ing harvest and such other times when
labor is needed. These children are
made to sleep in outhouses, both sexes
together, and are fed on the commonest
kind of food they are ragged and des-
titute. We find the English mother,
oftentimes with a nursing baby at home
in charge of a larger child, has to ham
mer iron from early morn to late at
night upon the forge making nails for
which she receives but the pittance OF
from one dollar to one dollar and a half
per week. These people OF England
have no voice in the management of
government. They are unable to ride
upon the railways, they have no use for
cheap telegraph service, but their whole
time is occupied in a stern struggle for
the commonest necessaries OF life. Take
Germany the condition there is no bet
ter. The people are not ad-
mitted to be citizens. They are called
peasants, ignorant to the extreme, pow
erty stricken, with a supreme effort day
in and day out TO sustain life by earn
ing the common necessaries; Austria, if
possible, is worse than either England
or Germany. The common people are
but things to be used for the benefit and
pleasure of the nobility, and in Russia
the condition is worse than in all the
others; yet all OF these countries have
government control of these means of
facilitating commerce.-Silver Knight.
