How This ImPOTtanE Subject ts Treated
IA the Protestant Episcopal Pastoral

Of the Protestant Episcopal church, the

TIE GREAT OBSTACLE

New York Tribune. The Woman
Suffrage State Executive Committee
publish brOadside of extracts from lhe
messages of governors and other officers
of Wyoming Territory in answer tn
recent Statements that woman suffrage
was q failure there, and had wrought
evil rather than good. IL Is absurd Of
course to hold women voters resp0Hsi
BILE for the lAWlessness and corruption
existing in q frontier country. These
things exist with little or no regard TO
the exercise OF suffrage by either sex.
The most striking point, however, in
connection with woman suffrage is seen
in Wyoming as well AS elsewhere-the
Indifference of women themselves 10 the
right. Even IN school matters, in which
those who did not favor a general suf-
frage for women would he glad 10 see
them interest themselves, they do not
seem TO be active. In New
York and Massachusetts, where women
have limited suffrage in school mat
tiers, the number exercising the right
has been very small. In Vermont 15,-
900 tax paying women have had the
same ri gifts for three years. but few
have availed themselves of them. Only
eight woman voted in Burlington this
year against sixteen the first year Of the
law, and a similar indispOsition to take
nsrt even in school politics is reported
from other quarters Of the state. The
advocates OF woman suffrage are TeiOic-
ing over the probable approval by the
governor of Washington Territory of
a woman suffrage law already passed,
but Dakota, which will probably come
first into the family OF states, refused to
put it into the proposed constitution.
The great obstacle everywhere, however,
seem 10 be the indifference or unwiil-
ing If woman rather than the oppO-
sit men.
