This special term Of the court OF
general! sessions Ia not worth WHILE"
said Solicitor Henry Monday. so
tar as l am concerned, do not
mind coming to 1t; hut I do mind
seeing so many others forced to come
when the little business that is tran
sacted at this term could just as easi-
ly be postponed to November" Most
other people who understand the sit
patton agree with Solicitor
Henry in this proposition. but
still this unnecessary term continues.
During the three days the registra-
tion books were open In the court
house. 62 ladies applied for and re-
ceived registration certificates. It
would hardly be fair to represent
that the women Of this vicinity
showed any special keenness for the
right to vote. Left to themselves
probably not more than half a dosen
would have applied for. registration
certificates. Most of those who did
apply were urged and persuaded by
interested friends who argued that
row that the ballot box Is free to
women. every woman who Is other
wise qualified should take the neces-
1ary steps to vote In case 1T should
become necessary to do so.
Not until the first Monday In De-
cember is the registration board OF
York county required by law to hold
not get pay on days other than those
required by law. II Is hardly probable
that there will be any more sittings
except at the earnest request OF
considerable number Of people. 1t Is
very important that the women Of
. York county should be registered as
early as possible: but It is not at all
probable that there will be any gen.
cral registration among them unless
somebody who is capable OF properly
handling the matter will take the in
itlative and induce them to come out.
This Is matter that should be looked
after without unnecessary delay. The
sooner the question Is taken up the
better. There should at once be
commenced thorough and syste-
matte canvass to get all the women
Of the county to come out on the first
Monday in December.
