To the Editor of The Leader.
CHEYENNE, Aug. 20.-There arc a
large number of thoughtful people in this
territory who are seriously led after years
of trial to question the benefits of woman
suffrage. The ballot is regarded by some
as the panacea of all woman's wounds.
That there are inequalities before the law
in some states as regards property rights,
etc, Of men and women is admitted, and
the tendency is to readiust and reform
injustice wherever it is found. If the
ballot be the remedy, why are the laws
of Colorado. without woman suffrage, in
advance of those Wyoming with it2
That women are generally poorly paid is
admitted, and the reform will not come
through the ballet, though 1t is manifest
ly coming through the efforts OF another
type of manhood and womanhood than
that which poses as the political friend of
the working girl.
The daily press is more potent for good
today in this line then are the platforms
where woman sutfragists air their theories
Some women marry unfortunately and the
results are bad; will it be then assumed
that all do? or that the majority of Amer
lean homes are unhappy Forget your
logic and admit it; is the reform then to
be political or social2
If women neglect their homes, and de-
spise social and marital ties, by what law
OF natural or unnatural selection will an
ideal social status be evolved2 Woman
suffrage is put forward as the great agent
in moral reform. It is a fundamental
plank in the prohibition platform both
national and state.
We have a right TO ask what has
woman suffrage done for moral reform in
Wyoming Territory The question is not
what Ought it do, but what has it done?
What legislation has it secured as to social
vice? as to Sunday Dissertation? as to
gambling? as to prohibition? To the

caring for the internal and external COM
