Why not a referen(lum oil the suf frage question? Iet the women vote on the question Vlethler o0 not they want to vote. We'll het our ol( last sumiimer's straw hat that a corporal's guard wouldn't show up to express t hemselves. The Advertiser has not heard any complaints as to censius enumerators failing to secreii a full list of the city's residents, but it would be well for those who think that they have been overlooked to enquire at their homes and then report the matter to census headquarters in the lost office. We are sure that such a report would be re ceivei by Col. Iibb, the supervisor. .with the proper spirit and that he would welcome any assistance iliat is g ivel him. ii teaurns cannot he made larger or smaller by th eensus tak urs, but all o1f us wtant to see the city secure its full Credit as to polmlation. Our suggeltion, however. is to be sure of being omnitted before muiak ing a re port -because it will ro(ire work to ascertain the fact even if a naiit is not omitted. .\im before you shoot. WO.\AN t'FFRAGE'. Would not the granting of the ballot to some women be forcing ain unde sired responsibility oil others? That is certainly true in Soutii Carolina at least where the gr'I body of women have given the thought of suffrage lit Ie attention and do not wish the no torIety andt responsibility that the sufl'rage carries. We have in mind not a f'w womn 'who have endeavored to bring up their boys in the way they shoul( vote and have been ColtentL to res't tle ase there.
