United Kingdom and $780,

to Americans but it does seem
anomalous that while we are
able to beat the British COM
petition in the British Empire
itself, with heavy tariff dis
elimination against us, we
are unable to compete with
the British and Germans in
the neutral markets of South
America where we meet them

this condition?

There has been much said

said that it has done things
that it ought not to have done
and left undone things that
it ought to have done, but its
recent decision that charges

cars should be less than the
charges for lower berths will
doubtless meet with general

Under a recent decision of
the supreme court of NebraS-
ka, that state may have a wo-
men governor, 1t was held
by the court that women, al
thought not permitted to vote
are eligible to any office with
in the gift of the voters of the
state.
This decision was handed
down in the case o f Miss
Gertrude Jordan, a young wo
man who was elected treas
urer Of Cherry county by an
overwhelming majority last
November. The man who
held the office refused to turn
it over to Miss Jordan because
there was no express provision
in the state constitution that
a woman was eligible to the
office.
Six members of the sup
RENE court decided in favor
of Miss Jordan, the seventh
member dissenting, and de-
claring that he had no thought
of deciding on the right of wo-
man to vote and hold office
but believed that such power
should be specifically conferr-
ed on her by legislative action
and not given her by judicial
decision.
