knocks he received behind his back he
would adopt another calling, remarked
a citizen the other day. The citizen
a mistaken. The newspaper man
who succeeds expects to be maligned by
every law breaker, swindler snd hypo-

should like to see this question OF woman
suffrage submitted to a test vote of the
women. Of Nevada. state. This editor
equal suffrage because he believes
women are justly entitled to participate
in government and are as well qualified
to exercise the right OF franchise as their
brothers. But do they want it? Be-
