Thnt woman's sulfraue will ob

not? If the women want to vote
we believe they should be nccord'

en in Washington and California
that they vole just as intelligently
nnd with ns much antitude as the
male clement.
f
Labor nt prewmt in St. Johns
seems much more plentiful than eni'
ployment. While all the industries
are riinnintr riktht aloni:, idle labor
is daily seeking work. More indus
tries arc needed to take care of our
unemployed. We know of at least
three ciluens, ahlchodied men, wil
ling and indiiNtrious, who have been
tumble tosccute work except lor a
couple of days duriiiK the mst ten
weeks. This condition should not
exist. Home labor should have
first chance In local industries, es-
racially where they have families to
support. Vet do.ens of out of town
laborer find work here while home
labor often goes unemployed.
