TO FIGHT SUFFRAGETTES.

The Republican State platform in Cali

party has pledged itself TO submit the
question Of the vote of women to the

woman who has been most dreaded as a
force against suffrage for her sex is

But the situation in California interests

down the gage Of battle to the entire

II. II. JoYwELL.
We, in our everyday life, exercise some
influence over those with whom we come
In contact. That influence may be great
or 1t may be small; we may speak kind
word or do kind deed, or take portion
OF some ones weary load to bear our

This Is the duty OF an optimist, and the
optimist who does his duty must neces-

be to make Optimlsts out Of our needfui
