NEW AUTOMOBILE
PURCHASED BY CITY

A new automobile was purcha sed
by the city commissioners yesterday
when a special meeting was held.
The board decided to buy the Dodge
car offered, paying therefor the sum
of $500. The selection was made only
after six different makes of cars had
been given thorough test, the Dodge
appealing to each of them.
The commissioners, it is announced,
will reserve this automobile strictly
for official business, and it is stated
that it will be cared for as its value
demands. None of the departments.
it is said, will be allowed to use it,
as in the past.
The police department has the
motor patrol and a runabout Ford ;
the fire department one motor hose
truck and one motor hook and lad
der truck; the street department a
truck, the water department truck,
and now the new "official'' auto,
makes quite a list.

nights closing before the end of the
first hour, with March touching Bis and
May $3.50. Stop orders were uncovered

There was enough realizing to cause
reactions of 10 or y points during the
middle of the morning for the offerings

again toward noon on rumors that ar
engagements had been completed for the
monthly expectation. Of 50, 900 bales from
this country for Spain.
Realizing checked the advance during
the noon hour and the disposition to take
profits during the, morning was probably
increased by renewed rumors of price

To women the whole point of punish
ment is that it should be remedial.
There is no gain if the young offender
feels simply that he has somehow in
Cured parental wrath; it is the trans
gression or omission itself which the in
telgent woman seeks to make definitely
undesirable or inconvenient Thus a
child who is habitually behindhand is
left at home; his wrath and wailings
are of no avail. He will discover that
dilatorlness is anti-social; that he can
not be allowed to spoil others fun A
child who will not play fair" is left out
of the game A child who annoys or
Injuries others is put by himself
Any woman knows as the very A C
of managing children that a healthy,
well-nourished baby is a, good baby;
that child happily occupied is good
child; that boy CT girl with plenty to
do, with a proper balance of work and
play, doesn't "get into trouble; that a
little supervision usually obviates the
need of punishment cupation-suit-
able, enjoyable occupation-work that a
child really likes--this any mother or
any teacher knows is the thing of great

what teachers are likely to forget: that
it is the clever, active, superabundantly
vital child who gets into difficulties,
while youngster who is languid, dull
/. and anamic will almost surely classify
as good" but that the former is far
more likely to amount to something.
Having this habit this training in the
administering of justice, this instinct of
guidance, this idea of bringing out or
seeing what is in the boy or girl that is
of value, women will look at the admin
istering of justice in the city and the
state from different angle than that of
the average male voter.
The woman juror will want to ''know
why will ask how it happened and
whether the boy who stole had had
enough to eat, what his work was
and whether he liked it, and dozens of
other questions which will seem to the
city magistrate quite irrelevant. In his
mind the only question is: Here is the
prisoner; did he or did he not commit
the wrong? No jury of women would
have condemned to the chair SO young
a lad as Paul Chapman or condemned to
the same fate the Russian, John Kush-
nieruck, who was but bit older and

be lenient and kindly in the cases Of
juvenile delinquency, toward another
type of offender she will be adamant.
This is the man who traffics in the food
supply and profiteers in necessities. For
him she will have short shrift And she
vii! not dismiss such cases with a fine
not she. In fact, to the woman citizen
the stock punishments of fine or inn
pr;e0nment will seem even more clumsy
tnan they do to men-as clumsy as if a
surgeon were asked to perform thou
sands of operations and given only
saw and Ratchet for the work. She will
find new and interesting remedies.
She would have arrested on the
charge of disloyalty men such as those
who, in Pittsburgh the other dav. were
about to throw away carloads of onions
merely to keep up the price Through
the quick action of Mrs. Taylor. head of
the war garden committee, the food was
saved, some given away, some used for
seed.
But for such offenders woman
magistrate would have an excellent
remedy. First they would have to
learn the golden text which has
been dinned into all our citizens: Food
will win the war Don't waste it," And
then the lady Solomon would send these
men where it is reported some Of our
prisoners of war are to be sent-to the
farm camps. Here, under surveillance,
a man who had thrown away onions
would be made to plant onions, weed
onions, do personal work With a hoe,
week after week through a hot August:
he should harvest and dry onions, too.
So should he learn respect for the hum
bic vegetable and repair the loss he HIM
self had caused After one or two years
of such reeducation he would not be
likely to throw away the results of a
seasons work. While the commission
man was employed in completing his
education a committee of women could
easily be found to do his work.
For the profteer my lady Solomon
would have another remedy. This gen
tleman is even more notably patriotic
than the other, but he doesn't let his
right hand know what his left hand
doeth. He waves the flag with the right.
hand while the other hand is in the
pockets of the community The woman
judge would give him a chance to prove
his patriotism. His is an industry

Some Women and the
Vote in England
i" Is better 10 BE ram 44.ss or Mrs. Thar
to Hare a Title If You Want Voice
in Your C0unty'y's Government

petitioned the House of Lords to pass
clause in the Reform Bill giving peer
esses a right which the lords themselves
mad not: the right to vote at general
elections. 1t is said that the American
women who are married to British peers
were the first signers of the petition.
The ladies stated that they did not ask
this boon because of their war work,
since so many men were giving up their
lives that women's part must seem indeed
small to the whole world; but they
pleaded that "the future need of our
voice in government justifes us in COM
ing to you now"
The House of Lords apparently shelved
their request. At all events no further
word of it has reached the public. 1t is
possible that the gentlemen may not be
able to dispose of Lady Rhondda so
easily. AS was said, she has "gumption"
At the time of the presentation of the
petition Lady Rhondda's daughter, who
is Lady Mackworth and Viscountess
Rhondda as well, was quoted as express
ing great disgust at the discrimination
against women of title. They had fought
for the vote, worked for it, kicked police
men for it and hunger-struck in jail, the
while their scullery maids stayed home
and polished the pans! And now, for
sooth, the sculery maids could vote. and
they could not.
It does seem an unfair arrangement
The House of Lords is as old as Magma
Charta, but when England decided about
representation and election for her peo-
pie she relegated the nobility to the back
ground They had made her suffer
enough in the past by their power, and
she would have no more of it! They
could have their own house and vote for
measures there, but "only the enfran-
cn'sed commons can vote for anything
and anybody else"
She gave no thought to ladies. How
could she have guessed, then, that woman,
the plaything and underling Of The
mouse, would want to run government
some day-and be capable of doing it?

Student, Athlete,

Anne Martins race for the Senate is
not wild goose chase. She has been
carefully prepared to meet and discuss
the problems which confront the nation,
and she knows the constituency which
may send her to Washington. She was

scarcely person exists in the state who
doesn't know little Anne Martin"
After she was graduated from the
University of Nevada she took a higher
degree at Stanford, and later studied
government and politics at Columbia and
at Cambridge, England. In the mean
time she held the tennis championship
of her state for three years, had noun
tain pass in Nevada named for her in
honor Of her having climbed the peak in
the dead of winter, and was professor of
constitutional history in the University
of Nevada for three years.

she returned to her native state and

Nevada women. The campaign was
won, but she soon saw that Immediately
the enfranchised women of Nevada
