THE SCHOOL OF JOURNALISM.
IRedding Free Press.I
The country printing Office is really our
only school Of journalism, and lis gradu-
ates are found everywhere and nod re-
sUonSible positions on all the mGtrOpoIl-
tan papers. There is no other place where
preparatory general training Tor the du-
! ties OF the profession can be obtained,
where a young man can learn to De all
/ all-rOund Journalist In The large city
! offices the division of labor. and particu-
| lRrly the assignment system as to report
/ ers, tends TO place men IN grooves ana
/ keep them there, making them proficient
! in only one of the various essentials,
! chilling their enthusiasm and delaying
and preventing their promotion.
\ SCHEME.
Placer Republican,
The offer 10 do the State printing for

| WOMAN AS VOTER.
Los Angeles Express
There seems to be very little doubt but
that in future the candidates for political
J hon0rs in the State of California Will have
to appeal to the women as well as to the
! men for their sutfrageS. The Republican
party, having placed Il plank III Its plat
| form in t2yGr OF suffrage, is living up to
! il: and if the Governor does not veto the
bill or the courts declare IL uncOnstitu-
tional. the polls will be crowded with
women as well as men at the next Presi-
dental election. That means an increase
OF 200, 600 votes at least in the State, even
admitting that large number OF the
| women will not vote even when they
! have the right of suffrage.
Wat The effect of woman suffrage Will
be re,Hains to be seen. Human nature is
very much the same whether the human
Pbeing IS woman OF a man. Women are
more moved 9y sentiment, ana undOubt-
adly their influence will be rather in the
direction Of lesssaing the penalties for
crime than to strengthen them.
