Do not labor under the delusion that any previous registering will fiurfico. It is espec ially Important that a full quota Of 1 the VotiiiK strength of Oils county bo In a position to cast their ballots at both primaries and general elecloh. It Is a duty you owe to your party, a duty that Is due to your rights of franchise and, paramount and su preme above till other conaUllerations, It Is a duty you owe to your state and government. On the republican elec tors of this county special oblfgatous aro placed, as they have a splendid list of names from which to select the candidates they should elect by an old time rousing majority and this means every one on the list. The first move to effect this iu to give the pri mary candidates a record toll of votes, and this can only be accomplished through complete systematic regis tration. To the1 women voters of the county, this call should meet with a spontaneous, unanimous answer, for to great extent, the eyes of our whole country are ceittored upon them to note What interest will be taken In this, their first participation In an election where county, state nud na tional Issues are involved, and on the strength of the vote that Is cut, will rest In a great measure, the decision In other states where the question of the franchise to women is now being agitated nnd promoted. If it Is shown that the women of OreMou . simply, asked the right to vote to soothe the wounded vanity, or as a toy to be played with, or as a menace to be hold over the IhmuIh of men, and not for Its proper line In guiding affairs of municipality and Mate, lndlffnroucu and apathy will be the nnult and cause a Hot buck that will require years to overcome. So to the women of Douglas county wo would say, that It Is now up to them to show by their strong registration that they mean to take advantago of the citizenship duties that have 'been acquired by thorn. Again we repeat, register to day, tomorrow, or at your very first opportunity.

ICE LKAtM'K To the Editor or tho News: Inquiry has been made about the purposes and object of the Douglas County Social Service League. These are expressed In Article II of the con stitution which reads as follows: "The purposes for which it is formed are as follows: To promote the social welfare, to promote effi cient and economical government, to secure constructive publicity in mat terH pertaining to governmental and social conditions and to these en (1b to collect, classify, analyze and Inter pret and publish facts as to the oper ation of governmental agencies, pro posed legislative ineasurefl and social conditions. To do all and every thing necessary and proper for the accomplishment of any of the pur poses or the attainment of any of the objects or tho furtherance of any of tho powers herein Bet forth provid ing the samo bo not Inconsistent with, tho law under which this league Is, formed." N Article III of the constitution! treats of membership and reads uh , follows: "Any porson eighteen or more years of ago may become a member of this League upon the payment of the annual dues of one dollar for' 'the current year." Krom the foregoing it will be ob served that the scope of the under takings of the League Is very broad. The intentions of the organizers in to , be helpful In every way to the eom-i inanity. The League wants to bo con-! structlvo all the while and never dis- tractive. It wants to assist the pub lic officers in promoting good gove-; eminent rather than be fault finding i and critical about the way in whieh public officials conduct public affairs. Tho League wants to be a conduit i throuub which the good organizations! of the community may unite and concentrate their efforts for the pub lic good. Itis not the Intention to build up an elaborate organization requir ing a great deal of time as well as money to maintain but simply suffl-j clent organization to unite the efforts! of all citizens desirous of making , better the social and civic conditions, In which we live. As concrete examples of the work! of the League the directorate has been Instructed by the League to en- gage in three undertakings for the good of the community. j 1st. A public library is one of the moot desirable of all things in any community. Kosebtirg Is one of I the largest towns In all of the country ; and In fact Is the largest town in thisi state wlhout a public library. A vol-j unteer committee has been at work some time endeavoring to initiate aj library for this city. Other Interests,! like the '95 mental Culture Club have! from tllllfi to time nrtreH th. mnflar! upon the attention of the public. Other good institutions have also mentioned mis matter. The League j hopes to unite and concentrate these different and separate efforts Into an effective force. Already one public spirited citizen hac generouhly do nated for as long a period as a year' two good rooms for the purpjose of! housing the public library. This is the result of having the people In terested organized and united in the; effort to secure a public library, 3nfl. Oiie of the needs of this Com-1 disposed citizens to aid people actu ally In need of help bus been very in-! efficient because of a lack of concen-j trated effort. The ;ieip extended has been intermit tent and spasmodic. Tho League proposes to have a com mitee whose busine&s it will be to as-; certain what is needed in families j needing assistance and then be a channel through which assistance may be givetn In an intelligent and helpful manner rather than in an im-1 pulsive and hurtful manner, j 3rd. One of the neers of this com munity Is a place for transient and Idle men lo procure a cup of coffee and a sandwich at a small price, with self respect. Such a place Is often times called a coffee Iiouho. In ad dition to affording an opportunity of getting something to eat and drink at a small price such a place Is In tended to serve as a club or place for spending a short time either in social conference or in reading and writing letters, for those who have no access to homes of other clubs. An employment agency also can well bo conducted In connection with such a place.- Such a club can afford tho proper kind of assistance to those out of work and give a lift to many people who need It and actually suffer without It. livery community should have somo means for providing work for thofr-o out of work and willing to work. Spare forbids me to go further into detail about these matters. They are simply examples of tho objects calling into existence this League. Other objects discussed by the League were the provision of proper play grounds for young and old; the promotion of tho purpose of the Parent-Teachers associations; the secur ing op parks for our cily, and the pro motion of good roads. These different objects will doubtless receive consid eration as the League grows and In creases in membership and strength. The Intention of the League is to al ways work In harmony with other or ganizations anil public officials en gaged in similar enterprises. One of its main objects, if not its Main obi ject, is to bring together in a concen trated effort the efforts of disorgan ized la n d d f on nee t etl bod ies 'a n d forces working to any particular end for the public good. Everybody Is most cordially Invited to unite with tho League. Opportunity will bo given by the treasurer for ev erybody to Join who will pay as much ns one dollar a year for the support of the Ioague. O. P. COSHOYV, President Three Itlg limit at X. S. C.
