Why Don't You
Register?

The following is taken from the
Goldfeld Sun, and is reprinted in
the NEvADAN in order that it may
be given the widest publicity, to
which, by its merit it is entitled.
It applies equally well to this
county:
The registration of voters in this
precinct is deplorably slow. 1t is
not because the voting population
has decreased but, probably may
be credited to the natural lazyness
of the average citizen who procras-
tinates himself out of a vote in
many cases at least.
Whether you registered for the
last election or not you must regis
ter between O and the first of
September or you will not have
any more vote than a jack rabbit.
The law requires it and the books
are open at the Office of the justice
of the peace every working day of
the week waiting for your regis
tration.
1t will not take much of your
valuable time to throw a diamond
hitch over your electoral fran.
chise, so get in and show what a
good citizen you can be. 1t would
be a good idea when you go to the
registration Office to register to
take your neighbor along, for he
too has probably been just as
derelict as you have been. Don't
wait for him though, but register,
for yourself anyway and then keep
Dragging to that you will have a
vote aud he will not-unless he
bestirs himself. That will brilg
him.
1t would be too bad If when
election day came you were not in
q position where you could cast a
vote for the men you think would
make the best Office holders among
the candidates. If you don't get
busy you will be shut out and be
of just as much use to your party
as the Car OF all the Russians
would be. 1t is generally under
stood how useless he is all along
the line.
1t is easy to criticise our State
and county oticersi pur delegs-
ton to Congress and its alleged
shortcomings; the incumbent Mt
the White House or the candidate
who aspires 10 the honor but un-
less you take interest enough in
the country's affairs to register you
have no moro right to poke sticks
ut the animals than a Chlnaman
has to criticise the mining laws.
What If you T busy. Just
stick those pieces of quartz in your
pocket for a few minutes and tell
your friends what the ore will as
say after you register, The news
pill keep.

Interest IN Tableaux.

OF all the charitable fetes scheduled

stitutinE such an absorbing topic of in

place on Thursday. March % at the

New York. The stage OF the large Dali-
room will be arranged by Stanford
White and Charles T. Barney. with
rare tapestries and furniture from their

Un6lial Daughters Story.

The differences between an indulgent
father and d reckless and unwomanly
daughter have occupied public attention
for some time, and have brought before
the public new phases of the idle-born
and over-indulged among the wealthy
of New York. \ millionaire father has
lavished his riches upon a beautiful
daughter in every possible way. This
spoiled favOrite has run the whole gamut
OF vagaries.
As young woman she had every wish
ETatified and was allowed to go abroad
and embark in all the extravagances of
a life In Paris. Later, she married an
Englishman, who seems to have been
without principle or object in life Tir-
ing OF Paris, London, and her husband,
she returned to her father. bringing her
children.
her fathers mansion she plays the
part OF an Indian princess by her lavish
indulgence and luxurious idleness, going
as far as to decline to preside over her
doting fathers table or in any way con-
tribute to his comfort or happiness. her
only eXertion being in the qualification
of herself and her attempts TO keep in
touch with uitra-f3shionabIes who spend
their lives in trying to conceive ways in
which TO spend money and originate
something new in the way of dissipa-
ton And though a mother. she seems
TO have had none OF the natural in
stncts which are supposed to pronpt a
mother to have some interest in her
children.
Burns Money at Newport.
a house at Newport is demanded and
the Iather provides the domiciIe and sets
apart 100000 for It's annual support.
When one recalls that a season at New
port is only a few brief months one is
astonished at the complaint of this
Unsuitable woman that 100000 is not
enough for her expenses. notwithstand-
ing her Monte Cristo father continues
to keep his Fifth avenue palace omen
and always ready for her and her chill
dren whenever they wish TO live in his
home and at his expense.
1t brings the blush of shame To the
cheek of every good woman TO road
the itemized expense account submitted
by this neartless woman to prove the
tnsufficiency Of her allowance of S1O0 Goa
per annum. One is appalled, at tho
effrontery Of such a woman, who, it is
TO be hoped, has few imitators. Such
cases go 10 prove the theory that men
and women are very much alike. You
can generally match unworthy men
with unworthy women who seem to for
get that they are supposed to be bet
ter naturally than men
One can have nothing but sympathy
for father who lives 10 see a daugh-
ter lost to all sense of fiIial duty and
SO utterly Indifferent TO the conse-
quences Of such a life and to the cruelty
of her conduct. If a son should behave
toward a parent with so little consid-
Grafton, everyone cOgnizant of the son $
unnatural behavior would be ready TO
condemn him in the strongest terms.
Should they not denounce a woman In
stronger terms?

ply ---
= Ihappened TO notice the above adver-
tisement In a Washington Sunday morn
ing. paper recently, and wondered why il
should appear on Sunday and if any
reputable firm really expected to be
greeted on Monday morning by num-
Der of applicants for the position of
stenosrapher and typewriter In answer
to such an advertisement. which plainly
states that the hours would be from
8 in the morning until 5 in the evening,
and the wages s. per week.
The applicant would be expected TO
board and lodge herself and pay her
own carfare il she lived at a distance
from the place of employment
To be a stenographer and typewriter,
one naturally presupposes. an operator
has a fair education and has spent some
time in acquiring proficiency in her pro-
fession. The hours are long for the close
confinement and attention necessary To
take dictation and operate machine.
How any firm with souls in their bodies
could ask any one TO conform to the re-
quirements set forth in the advertise
ment for the paltry sum of 50 per week
Pay Breeds Dishonesty.
If a boy or a man had to accept such
compensation for his services in the Ca
pacity of stenographer or typewriter,
his employer might expect that the un-
fortunate would make up the deficiency
between his just dues and what he re-
ceived by some kind of dishonesty.
Unfortunately, the majority of this
class of wage-eaTneTs are women, and
what can be said Of any one who would
allow girl or woman to work for such
starvation wages? They must know
that it is impossible for any girl tc
give so many hours out of every twenty
four to her employers work and board
lodge and clothe herself at such mig
gardly wages.
Are they not taking the life blood
of the weaker sex? Are they not re
sponsible for the downfall of many un
happy girls, who, perhaps, not over
strong, are driven to desperation and
consequently are an easy prey TO temp
tation?
HeartIessness dictates all such grind
ing propositions of individuals or firms
who need the services OF others and are
unwilling TO pay a fair compensation II
is this class that usually are responsible
for irregularities in the integrity Of
men and women and for the straying OF
many young women into the paths of
shame
