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
