Decided Against the Woman.In Florence, Or., at the municipal election in March, an entire woman’s ticket was elected. As soon as the result was known a question of tho constitutionality of the election came up, and it was decided that the women could not hold office except by courtesy. The matter was left to tho old city council, which lias decided against the women. The council will appoint men in their places. The terms of the old officers have expired, and those elected having failed to qualify, the tow'll is without a government. This is an interference not only with tho right of women to servo, but primarily with the right of men to elect whom thev choose to serve them. A South Carolina judge long ago decided that if there was 110 law expressedly forbidding a woman to hold an office sho could do so. —Woman.
