been qualified to perform the duties Of
county treasurer, on January 6 of the pres
ent year. Miss Jordan went to the court
house to enter upon the duties of the
office to which she had been elected, but
Mr.. Quible refused to turn over the books
and funds. %conteDding that being a woman
and not an ~elector, she was not qualified,
legally, to become county treasurer.
Miss Jordan at once employed attorneys,
who filed a petition in the supreme court
at LincolnS asking that a writ of mandamus
issue, compelling Quible to surrender the
office. After the hearing was had, the
Judges of the supreme court took the case
under advisement and on March %, handed
down a decision, declaring Miss Jordan's
eligibility and holding that a woman in
Nebraska has a right to hold the office OF
county treasurer. OF the seven members of
the supreme bench, six concurred in favor
OF a woman's eligibility to hold county Of

NOT Inconsistent with the federal and state
constitution and the statutes of the state"
This law permitted women to hold office

which they are competent to discharge.
Justice Letton, concurring separately.
states that mo constitution or statute pre-
venting, women have for many years
creditably occupied official positions in
county affairs in this state, apparently by
common consent. To TEX the position now
that they are ineligible, or do not possess
the necessary qualifications, would be to
turn back the clock and to say that COM
mon experience and common sense yield to
ancient custom in another country"
Justice Fawcett in dissenting says that
women were not given the right to hold
county office by either the constitution or
the statute, and that if their political rights
were to be EXTENDED, il should be lone by
the legislature end not by judicial legisla-
ton He further ACIDS that, IF a woman
can mold the office of county treasurer,
