Women W n In Four Stat s
A byphaae cf the general elec:
tion tliat is now known was the
success of women's suffrage in
four of the five states where con-
stitutional amendment* were sub-
mitted to the people. The vic-
tory of the women was complete
in Kansas, Arizona and probably
Michigan. Late returns from
Oregon indicated that they had
succeeded there also, while from
Wisconsin came returns showing
the decisive defeat of the equal
suffrage proposal.
The oldest newspaper in the
world has been surpressed by the
president of the Chinese Repub-
lic. The name of the paper is
King Bao, and for 1,500 years it
has reported the more import-
ant news, not only of China, but
also of foreign countries. At a
time when the art of printing
was as yet, unknown in Europe
the Chinese invented a means
for making type from lead and
silver, and in the year 400 A. D.
the paper King Bao was printed
and has since been issued regul-
arly until recently. No infor-
mation is at hand as to the reas-
on for its forced discontinuance.
