A short time ago we spoke of the recent

our good lady friends raised a small in

we assured her we had weighed 1t well be-
fore using 1t. What better word could have
been used? Was it not emancipation
day " for our ladies, who had been deliv-
cred from male bondage and accorded the
right Of suffrage, which they were enjoying
and using to the full? And then personally it
was our own delightful privilege to be
the sole male occupant of one seat in com
pany with the ladies', and just in front of us
another seat full of them During the first
two or three ballotings we tested the sweets
OF bossism in influencing votes to the extent
that, under the smitings of conscience, we
questioned whether the Australian ballot
system ought not henceforth to be used in
our meetings. But our new-found delight
proved another of earth's transitory ones.
The angelic creatures quickly learned the
use OF their liberty and their wings-and we
were left" Moral: Let no one hesitate
to give woman the right of suffrage, for fear
OF bossism on the part Of the male "persua.

Morals" We do not recall ever having
seen any discussion of the subject in print
until very lately. On our table is a paper
published in Scotland that handles the sub.
ject so well that we want to quote from IL.
1t seems TO be a custom in Scotland that a
man Offering goods for sale at auction shall
be allowed to make one bid himself on each
lot as offered, the most common and most
satisfactory way being that this bid shall be
the first one made. Another custom allows
that the man offering goods may ask that
the goods be withdrawn from sale when
the bidding does not come up to his wishes
or expectations, with the result that such
requests are rarely refused. The Scotch al
low what they call reserve prices I"
on portion of what may be offered
prices below which the goods will not be
sold, but 1t is said the fact of such reserve
prices should be intimated at or before
the sale. All this Is permissible. The un-
permissible things are to advertise an unre-
served sale, and then, at the sale, announce

falls short in the bona. fde bids of prices
wanted by the owner Of the goods, and
" last and meanest of all what they call

Since these " unpermissible things are con-
