The Woman's Suffrage Failure in Col
orado.

The defeat of the womans suffrage
amendment in Colorado is one hardly To
be regretted by the judicious friends OF the
measure. 1t would not have been carried
under normal conditions OF society, ana II
would not have been tried under conditions
fair TO itself. The admission of women to
the privileges Of the ballot in Colorado
would not have been based upon the argu-
ment by which alone they should Wish 10
attain it, and although they might never
have lost it again in that State. for in s1ch
cases there is no step backward, it would
very likely have hindered its adoption by
settled and normal community on whose
deliberate and unbiased Judgment the
value and safety OF tue privilege depends
Colorado is no such community. very

tants are males, and its population al
