FAvORS EQUAL PROTECTION

In the recent opinion written by
Judge Talbot on the constitutional
ity of the divorce law, one para
graph is Of especial interest to
suffragists. In regard to the plea
of the petitioners that the United
States constitution guarantees to
citizens Of the various States equal
protection of the laws, the supreme
justice puints out that the rights of
citizens Of the United States con-
stitution guarantees are not always
the same, for instsnce, Gin this
and many other states females, al
though citizens and residents for
the period required by males, are
not allowed to vote" The opinion
very plainly points out the dis
elimination of the laws against wo.
men citizens, an injustice that the
men Of Nevada have the opporun
ity to correct on November 8, 1914.

In a recent issue of the Survey the
question why kitchen sinks have
been made so low was discussed.
No one seemed able to explain.
Finally a certain maker discovered
that the original sinks were made
when the washing of dishes and
other sink-work was done in wood
en- tubs with high sides. Such a tub
when used in a high sink came up
too far, 81 the sink was made low.
Furthermore, as running water and
fixed faucets had not long been
made, the tub had to be lifted out

THE FREE PRESS RANTS

The Free Press man had another
bad spell yesterday, the cause of it
being the jolt the commissioners
gave him when they granted the
Bell Telephone company the fran
chise for their line through Court
street. In his idle vaporing he
says we deliberately lied in giving
the number of property owners on
Court street interviewed by the
commissioners on Tuesday who
favored granting the franchise. In
Wednesdays issue, we stated that
the commissioners interviewed "a
of the residents and property own
ers on Court street and 38 of them
favored granting the franchise. pro-
viding the company could noe go
through an alley with its poles.
Those figures were given to us
Tuesday night by Commissioners
Griswold. Wednesday morning
when the board was in session,
and all three commissioners pres
ent. we asked them the result o.,
their canvass Of the Court street
residents and property owners and
were given the same figures by
each and all of them. So it is
plainly seen that if there is a lie
out, which we do not admit, it did
not originate with the writer.
Against the word of the commits.
sioners we have the statement of
Mr.. Steninger. We leave tire mat
ter with our readers as to which is
the most worthy of belief.
So far as losing our reputation
for truth and integrity is concern
ed, we are frank to say that we do
not believe anything that Mr.. Stem
niger ray say can injure it in the
least. Instead of worrying over
what may happen to our reputation
for truth and integrity, he should
more carefully guard his own, so
far as telling the truth is concern
ed. Pick the beam out of your
own eye, neighbor, before hunting
a mote in another's eye.
We hardly know what he means
by Here is another opportunity
for its editor to crawl" Perhaps
he refers to the article which said
that Attorney Gedney told him to
"Go and forge some more Names"
during his speech Monday after
noon. In Wednesdays issue we did
state that we had been informed
that Mr.. Gedney did not use the
word forge. Since that we have
investigated the matter further
and are convinced that Mr.. Gedney
used substantially the language
attributed to him in Tuesdays is-
sue. Whether or not it was spoken
in a sarcastic vein, we are not able
to say. The opinions of those who
heard the remark differ as to it's
sarcastic nature. If this is crawl
ing, we hope Mr.. Steninger will
enjoy it.
