Loves Little Game,

Woman is born an adept at the lit. tie game of love, and to this she adds the study of a lifetime on the one subject.
 Not consciously does she take it up. but instinctively and upon occasions as they present themselves, and in the face of problems as they shriek out for solution.
 The occasions and the problems are not scarce; they assail the women at every turn. By her munitions does she meet them, to the absolute discourage ment of man, who comprehends not how the human feminine mind can glide thus over the outside of a prob lem and solve it somehow"

 With the political proposition of the right of women to vote and hold office have no quarrel" says Justice FaWcett, but neither by the consti- tuition nor by statutory enactment are they given the right to do either. eX- eept as to school offices. If their po- litical rights are to be thus extended It should be done by legislative and not by judicial legislation. If a wom- an may be elected county treasurer. she may be elected governor of the state. There is no more constitution al or statutory inhibition of the one than of the other Can we arbitra- rlly say she has sufficient capacity for the former but not for the latter?

 Miss Jordan, according to the state ments made to the supreme court, is the first woman in the United States to be elected to the office of county treasurer.
