Des Moines, Iowa, Feb. 3.?Exasperated
over having lost in a contest
ror the county printing simply because
she was a woman, Miss Elizabeth
Soham, editor of the Storm Lake
Vidette, asserted her leap year prerogative
last week, and in her current
issue makes the following proposal
:
"A constant fight for-what rightfully
belongs to her is a wear and
tear on the nervous system of any
woman, and we have come to the belief
that in order to stay in newspaper
work and maintain our health we will
have to marry some good printer who
_i _ j.y /> ^ i.? a _ f
can ao tne ngniing ana swearing ior
us.
''This is leap year, and this may be
considered a9 a proposal by any one
who would be qualified to fill the vacancy
so evident in the Vidette office.''
G. A. Craig, the bachelor editor of
the Lytton Star, believing that a proposal
of marriage coming 'from such a
talented woman could not be turned
down, wrote an acceptance, and in
the last issue of his paper says:
"We believe we are eligible to fill
the vacancy which Sister Soham feels
exists in her print shop. We're a
Missourri Democrat of forty 3rears'
standing; considered a smooth printer;
as to our fighting qualities, suffice
to say we come from a family that
kills; on the swearing proposition our
press feeder says we would be there
with the goods, as we swear in several
different languages at once when
things go wrong on press night.
"But before we would agree to take
up Lizzie's burdens she will have to
show credentials as to her eligibility
to the vacancy which we have known
existed for some time at our wigwam.
4'She must* know how to make pancakes,
fry ham and eggs and make
good coffee; she must have the staying
qualities to chase a dirty shirt up
and down a washboard until it becomes
clean; she must know how to
darn socks and the gable end of our
trousers, etc. If the fair editress
feels like filling a vacancy or a vacancy
being filled we stand ready to
close the deal."
In her next issue of the Vidette,
Miss Soham will assure Editor Craig
of her ability to deliver the goods,
and all Iowa newspaperdom is preparing
to extend pongratulations to
two of the brightest members of the
fraternity.
