EQUAL SUFFRAGE.
Interesting Communica ton Re
gardipg the Matter.

EDITOR APpEAL:-Dr. Eliza Cook
local president Of the Douglas count,
Equal Suffrage League, has sent on
petition to the Legislature to Mrs. J
K. Williamson's Headquarters at tn,
Arlington, in Carson, according t,
the instructions of our State Presi
dent, Mrs. Elda A. Orr.
Ia the voters column Of the petition
will be found the names Of many o
the representative men of this county
and we take pleasure in saying that
that the number and character OF
signers would be a credit to a mnch
more thickly populated county than
Douglas.
Notwithstanding the fact that,
owing to the condition of many roads
we have been unable to make a gen
eral canvas of all the precincts of
the county, we have done thorough
work rs far as we could 90, and the
response has been prompt and gener-
Gus. 1t would be perfectly safe to a
that nineteen out Of every twenty to
whom the petition has been presented
have signed it..
There are still a few people who are
appalled, by the requirments of the
voter, and fear that woman will not
be able to fulfill her part Of the con-
tract when the inestimable boon Of
franchise is granted.
10 sucn we would say that all we
ask OF this Legislature is to grant US
the privilege Of trying for the same,
A two-thirds vote ought to be a suf-
ficient expression of the voting ele-
ment. No doubt if the work termi-
mates successfully ia a law, matters
will adjust themselves to the new or

answered that only n more requires

American or Am%ericanized and
Americanizing citizens, and among
this latter class is found some of our
most patriotic and best citizens.
Some one has suggested an exceed.
lngly pretty and ingenius device by
which, as State after State comes into
the Equal Suffrage calendar, a CORE
spending star is draped in the
America in the color of the Woman's
Suffrage Association order to pro-
claim the glad event.
The petitioners from Douglas desire
to be put with the rest of the State of
Nevada in line to work for the yellow
star, and we most earnestly pray that
each Senator and each member of the
House will consider the a~dvisabilitv
OF the measure favorably, and vote
accordingly. E, B. B.

Talk on the Book Shelf.

Where the books stood in row.

For it must be fine, | know
"Ah, YES" the wooden soldier said
They are quiet enough all cay;
But I've heard when the CHI liren are all
They talk in a wonderful way
And now it was twilight in the room;
And on the bookcase shelves
The books began to stretch their backs,
And to talk among themselves.

That you would not crowd me SO;

The restless and unruly of the world.
The stars laughed from the banner we un-
furled;
We We're stout hearts, boon spirits, tried
and true.
Then lightly from the mast thronged port
we drew:
For it was ours, from utmost isles impearl-
In stormy sea, where wave and tempest
swirled,
To fetch for man lost and priceless clue.
And STILL for many day. our mighty bark
With roaring sail flies onward Ger the

And we, at dawn, with anxious vision

Each new horizon, lifted from the dark,
For islands which have Liberty in keep
The Golden Fleece which we must win for

Struck in deep menace many a steel-clad

Rose the stern strife, high raging more and

Till all the land lay sodden, wet, and sore,
And the sea-soldiers' plumes with fury

and far. far out among the cleaning host
OF pillows rolled ship that prayed for

We waited to see the men come to

They were formed in squads of from 30 to
so, each company in charge of an officer
and two or three armed guards. They
were counted, and then marched to
the prison gates. Here they halted,
and convict-who was distinguished
from his fellows by wearing a white shirt,
collar and neck tie under his brown drill

done, the men were lined up in the street

was very animated between the prisoners
and their friends, all laughing and talking
gaily; and even when the time came to
say adieu and the men were ordered to
march into prison, there was no nantes
tation of sorrow. Obstreperous prisoners
are whipped here, as elsewhere. There
are no female convicts in this prison, but
plenty of them in the carcel-mostly for
murder, jealousy being the moving cause.
