which was defeated by a vote of 266O to '1239. The vote showed that Wo- men voters are not carried off their feet by the name of a thing They are determined to investigate and un- derstand the mattel on which they are called upon to vote; and they will not vote for what seems unjust and. wrong. even if it Is cloaked in an ap- pearance of reform.
 The Nevada. Legislature. like our own, has recently adjourned. It was elected by men only. like ours, But the men expect to appeal to women voters as well as to men when they ask for re-elect4on-a fact which brought about a very different record from that of the Connecticut LegIsla- ture. Two measures were passed at the beginning of the session against which the women protested most wig orously. These were the race track bill and the bill for easy divorce. These measures were desired by cer- tain interests which had contributed largely to campaign funds and the Legislature was practically compelled to pass them. The protests of the women, however, alarmed the Rep resentatives and Senators, and to pla- cate the women they proceeded to pass number of bills that were sup ported by the women's organizations These included: A change in the in heritance law, giving to the Taother independently the same share as to the father in the estate of a deCeas- ed child, whereas before it all went to the father; the Kindergarten bill providing for the establishment of kindergartens where there arc 25 or more children of kindergarten age; mothers pensions, teachers pensions, and a modification of the law con corning capital punishment that prao- tica1ly abolished it.
 This record of the Nevada Iegisla- ture contrasts strongly with that of the Connecticut legislature where ev- cry measure supported by the vom- ems organizations was turned down. Woman Suffrage, the right to vote on liquor licensing questions, re- formatory for women-or an appro- priation of $2O,OoO towards conmsnc- ing on one. a bill to raise the age of consent, and bills for the control of commercialized vice all went Into the Capitol waste paper basket, and the women-without voteS-Went home empty handed.

FATE OF OTTOMAN
 EMPIRE IN BALANCE.

What is now to be? Amid the uncertainties one thing is certain. As an independent power, a state to Nbe reckoned with among world. powers. Turkey passes off the stage. A form Of Ottoman government may survive in Asia For how. long? Who can tell, As all modern history shows, any Moslem state is handicapped in the race of human progress by it's ancestral faith. It is no better, it is worse off, if it's leaders are liberals merely wearing the cloak of Islam. of the Young Turk party were edu- cated in Europe not one of them had the training of an American college as so many of the formers of the state of Bulgaria had. How different the result
 is to be her future? It now seems unlikely that Great Britain and France will stand n Russia's way to the full realization of her Iong-cher- ished hope. If that hope is realized Greece will be disappointed and az grieved. It will be difficult to placate Italy. A proposition will doubtless be made for the internationalizatio of Constantinople The word is very long and the act will be found ex- tremely difficult. One power must rule there, not two or half a dozen.
 
 made under some guarantees agreed upon by the allies.
 Russia is not what she was a, quar- ter of 9 century ago. Liberal ideals have greatly gained in strength among the people, and even in gov ernmenta1 circles in that empire. In any case those straits, the Bosporus and the Dardanelles, will hereafter be neutral waters.
 Americas interests in those lands are happily not at all political. They are phiIanthropic, educational, Christian. They are highly appreci- ated by all classes and all races, Mus sulman and n-Mussulnan. Ameri- can institutions there are many, strategica11y located, firmly estab- lished! The American spirit pervades them. They will remain and they will grow as the years pass, as the | inevitable changes take place.

CONNECTICUT
 SUFFRAGE NEWS
GA. G. Porritt.)


 Is it wi1fu11y or from inability to understand a plain staterne ent that tn e anti-suffrage ladies fail to grasp the plain meaning of the assertion of the Sunragists concerning the opposition of the liquor trade to woman suf- frage? we who are fighting the battle of votes for women,'' said one of the leaders of the Connecticut Sl1f- frage Association, a day or two ago, when questioned about the real ob- stacIes to the cause, very often for get all about the ladies who are or ganized to oppose us when we are reckoning up our enemies. We talk about the enemies of equal suffrage and the opponents of woman suffrage as if these consisted only of the h- quor and vice interests and the ex- plo1ters of cheap woman and child labor. We know so well that the real fight is against these that some times we make assertions about them, that we quite forget might be taken by, the ladies to apply to their or ganization.''
 It is this misunderstanding that has caused a hot controversy in Mass achusetts. The charge was made by the Suffragists that the liquor in terests of Massachusetts are contrtbut- ing large sums of money to the anti suffrage campaign in that state. It was never intended to make the charge that the ladies of the Anti suffrage associations were receiving this money or having any hand in spending it. The anti-suffrage cam paign that was meant was the real campaign against votes for women that is being carried on continually and assiduously by every saloon keep CT and every keeper of a disorder1y house in the state. The Iadyhke and open opposition of the women who are organized against woman suf- frage gives the suffrage workers little concern. It usually wins them many more adherents-than it loses for them. It is so innocuous as compared with the forces of evil that are working beneath the surface that, it is easily comprehensibIe that the sufragists frequently overlook it altogether when they make their charges against the opponents of woman suffrage The suffragists accept absolutely, and without reservation the assertion put out by the Anti=Suffrage associations of Massachusetts that "any contribu- ton, if offered by the liquor interests. would not be accepted by the Anti Suffragists of Massachusetts" More over the Suffragists do not believe that any such contributions would be offered. The liquor dealers would probably prefer f spend their own campaign fund. and would probably believe that they knew better how to use it than the ladies would be likely to know.
 The women and the men also did turn down a proposal to reduce the liquor licenses from eighty to forty. This was turned down because the method of enforcing the ordinance was regarded as drastic and unjust Prohibitionists in general-men and women-voted against the ordinance

TO CHOOSE AN
 ENGAGEMENT RING
Dear Miss Libbey:-

Dear Miss Libbey:-
 I am a young man of twenty one, been going with a girl two years, want to settle down soon q possible. l would like your advice, please, as to what kind of an engagement ring to purchase. cannot afford to give her a diamond ring. What other, besides a diamond and birthstone ring, should ring.
 s.H S. Call at some reliable jewellers and ask them to suggest a, nice, yet inex- pensive, engagement ring. You know just what you can afford to pay Do not hesitate to make this known to those you are inquiring of. Having learned about good rings take your young lady to the same stores where the jeweler will show them to her from a tray, attractively, and of the price he knows you wish to pay. She will be pleased to choose one of them.

SHE APPROVES
 HIS FAMILIARITY
Dear Miss Libbey:.

Dear Miss Libbey:-
 Is it positively right for young man to lightly kiss his girls brow when leaving her at night? How long ought he to go with 8, young lady be- fore he asks if he can keep steady company with her consent? I have been visiting with a girl a year Quite lightly wave her a good night kiss when leaving. Do you think it proper and 1ady1iI1e to reprove her suitor for his earnest manner as his intentions are best? Should a man leave his sweetheart by 10 D. m- if comrade- like they sit together reading or hold ing in hand music to play?
 Lightly waving 9, kiss to a sweet heart of a year is only permissible when leaving. It is quite right and an honor to good girl to reprove her suitor sharply if he tries being fan1il- jar. She will command his respect; 10: 30 D. m. is latest to remain.

TIME TO woo IN FUTURE

Dear Miss Libbey:-
 I am a young girl and ask your ad- vice. Last winter met a young man whom I love very much. He used to come and see me often. I took a walk with him, permitted him to kiss me at the door. Since he has not cared so much for me. When I see him he always speaks, yet seems indifferent. Do you think he is tired of me? We are both young. I sup pose there is plenty of time in future for meeting MT. Right? I cannot help thinking of this youth. Is it wrong to kiss? used to go over to town, would usually meet him, -z he would ac- company me home. Was this proper?
 ANXIOUS MISS A.
 You hesitate about having taken a walk with him. If uncertain, regard ing your right to accompany a young man in the future, why not take a young lady acquaintance along? Most men do not think nearly as much of a girl who allows him to kiss her at Ithe door. Be chary of such famiI- iarity in the future. Turn from the man who tries to kiss you. He will greatly respect you for this stand MT. Right will be the proper suitor next.

FRESH AIR CHILDREN

Mr. A. W Dickens has received an
urgent appeal from the Tribune Fresh
Air Fund for Addison County homes
for city Youngsters this summer. The
names of the local committee will be
published next week. Here is the let
ter:
The Tribune Fresh Air Fund is get
ting started on its summer campaign.
This work must be carried on with
greater energy this year than for many
years past The poor have just passed
through a terrible winter, a winter of
bread lines, Of free food kitchens and
bundle days The children have suf-
fered with the rest. Now they are
deeply in need of a breath Of Fresh Air
of chance to build up as they can
only in the country.
you and the kind-hearted people of
your neighborhood opened your homes
to some Of our Fresh Airs last year.
The boys and girls had-if we may be-
lieve them-a wonderful time and came
back brown, healthy and happy.
I'VE want you to open your hearts
and your homes to the children again
the same ones you had last year, or diff
ferent .ones, as you prefer Will you
call together the committee that work
ed with you last summer and get the
work started in your community.
There is another reason-in addition
to the great need mentioned above-
why the Tribune's campaign must be
more successful this year than ever be-
fore. Many small institutional Fresh
Air homes are not to be opened this
year, because the organizations owning
them have found their funds diminish
ing with the hard times. The children
that might have had outings at these
homes must be cared for by the Tribune
Fund if at all
