WARREN ". WILLIAMS DEAD

Hon. Warren w. Williams, one
Of Nevada's most prominent citi-
zens, and the founder of the town of
Fallon, passed away at the family
home on Williams avenue at a few
minutes befora eight o'clock last
evening, after a short illness of
heart trouble.
For some time his health had
been bad, 5ut the indomitable will
power that made him a force
among his fellows and brought
wealth and honor to his name. suf-
feed to keep him up and about.
Only a few days tefore passing
away did he actually become bed
ridden and then it was that his
physicians and others who knew
him best forecasted thst tire end
was near.
Had this strong man lived until
the 10Th of March he would have
been rs years of age. He came
from Revolutionary war stocs, and
was q native OF the state of Maine
from whence he came west as a
mere boy in 1859. Locating in
California, he passed through the
mining excitement of those days.
He came to Nevada in 1868, pack
ing by mule trains supplies across
the Sierras. He located in this
county in the early seventies, en-
gaging first in mining at Bernice
in the eastern part Of the county
and later in the sheep and cattle
business. In the stock industry he
accumulated a fortune generally
reckoned at around a million dol
lars. He was n Of the largest
individual sheep owners in the
west and his holdings of land ex-
tended from here to the extreme
northeastern part of the state.
His interests included banking, land
and stock and with his passing
many people will sadly miss his
friendship and financial succor in
times of need.

Of the town Of Gallon, the relation.

senstor on the republican ticket.
de is a native sol of the state and
a clean young man so far as VIC
know. but he is welded to the very
worst elements in the republican
party. 1t will be u pleasant duty
this fall to oppose Mr.. Platt with
all our power and to assist in keep
ing him at bone. He is alright
as a man but his politics are too
tough for Nevada.
There seems to be no lack of
democratic material for congress at
the coming election. Sn far Judge
P. j. Somers of Gold6cld, Leonard
B. Fowler Of Reno, and T. A. Bran
don of Winnemucca have their hats
in the ring. To this list mas be
added Charles Lee Horsey of LIN
colin county. We understand that
Mr.. Horsey may enter the field at
the primary election. If he does
he should pet a strong support in
this section.
There is a limit to some things
but not to the cost of battleships.
Battleships that represented $15,-
OO0, 900 a piece made the landlub-
Der, who incidentally pays the bills,
gasp. But these are soon to be
left far behind in expenditure.
Naval authorities in Washington,
are reported to be having plans
prepared for a batttIsship of 49,
600 tons and costing $40, 72O, 900.
That is a tidy little sum to put into
a war vessel which after a few
years will become obsolete, and a
little later find its way to the
scrap heap.
We have received a lengthy COM
m%unicatiun from Mr.. Mcclellan re-
porting progress on the Greater
Humboldt irrigation project. He
SAYS that at the annual meeting
February Sd it is the intention to
have three out of the FIVE directors
residents of Humboldt valley, and
the whole five as soon as the right
men join the company. The ar
'icles of incorporation provide that
every member of the board must
be a water user and own land in the
VALLEY. Two of them must belong
to the lower end Of the valley, one
the middle. and two above.

Men Do Not Represent Women, Says
Mr.. Wilcox.

To the Editor of the Tribune Woman g
Forum:
Only those who have lived where all
lous all those twelve "Becauses" in last
Sundays Forum are. Not one is realized
in actual experience.
To disqualify one for voting because OF
not being OF the same sex as those sub
iect TO military duty is really amusing.
The idea that if women could vote they
could declare war is ignorance.
The idea that the undesirable vote
would be doubled depends on the ind-
vldual standard of desirable OF course,
the woman vote is undesirable to the
liquor dealers and patrons OF those inter
ested IN the white slave" traffic, either
as dealers or patrons. II is undesirable
10 the state and city grafters and the
lower politicians and those old officehold-
ers who have lived at the public crib all
their lives.
Men do not represent women. If there
is a man on earth who will answer this
and say that he voted against his own
I choice TO represent any woman, let him
stand up and be decorated
The right to vote has never deprived
any woman OF any special privilege that
I have ever heard Of No special privi-
leses have ever been given to women for
the reason that they arc not allowed 10
vote. but many are the unjust discrlmina-
tons against her because she is at the
mercy OF the superior In brute force.

Twelve Reasons Of Mere Man Why
Women Should Vote.

To the Editor Of The Tribune, Woman's
Forum.
l. Because. according TO our Constitu-
non. governments derive their Just
powers from the consent OF the gov
erned" and women are governed. n civ
ilzed government is government OF
the people, for the people. by the people,
and women are people. Only dumb
brutes savages and rebels are governed
by force. and when force is required in
dviduals selected for physical fitness are
employed and paid by the government to
exert force, and while they are thus en-
gagged at is inexpedient' for them TO
vote.
3 Because suffrage Is God given.
natural. inalienable right OF every law
abiding citizen of legal age and sound
mind. regardless OF previous condition of
sevitude.
3. Because II is the demand" OF all
citizens who have sense OF justice. and
only one per cent OF those who are de-
MED their rights protest against others
having theirs.
g. Because u means doubling the vote
Of the better class OF citizens Of our coun-
Try without materially increasing the OBJ
jectonable class. does not materially in
crease the expenses OF elections and saves
the State millions OF dollars lost I'm graft
and the cost OF prosecuting grafters.
.. Because the great advance OF women
Of the last century-morally. intellectually
and cconomic"-has fitted them for the
responsibilities and given them time for
the duties OF citizenship.
$. Because women should be in position
10 WELD some effective influence In mat
tefs OF education, charity and reform.
Z. Because the ballot has proved thu

only means OF accomplishing Just govern
ment in the hands Of men and n more
effective means IN the hands OF all clti-
zens.
8. Because the woman suffrage move
ment' is the most important step in the
progress OF civilization and forward from
primitive savagery and drudgcry, in that
it seeks TO efface all sey-antagonsm and
produce unity of labor and harmony IN
stead Of dissension.
Q. Because in Colorado, after test
Of twenty-one years, and other states for
many years, 'the results have been SO
great that other adjoining states have
followed the good experience. Even
though the women are in the minority
in these states they combine with the
better men ana have accomplished good
results and they have relieved the burden
upon the taxpayer by reducing the graft.
10. Because their present duties" in
household affairs-knitting socks and
stockings, making butter and manu-
featuring clothing and carpets-have been
taken away from them they have more
time to keep posted upon the topics o.
the day than men who are engrossed
in business have, and since many men
do not provide homes and support women
they are obliged 20 enter business pur-
suits and should have voice IN the Sc
lection Of officials and lawmakers.
II. Because not all women have hus-
bands to represent them and men do not
allow women to influence them in their
vote. therefore women are not repre-
scented.
-. The right to vote does not effect the
rights due to sex. and any rights not due
10 women are not desired by them.
