To Our correspondents

To put two col umns of matter in one
column of space is often the difficult task
that oonfronts the TRANSCRIPT ON Friday
mornings, and if our regular correspondents
would send in their weekly news letters on
Thurs day morning instead ofa day later,
much of the difficulty would be obviated.
and We would be spared the very delicate
task of cutting" our co respondents and
they themselves would be spared the trial
of having their contributions mutiliated by
the ruthless hand Of the editor, who is so
discriminating and mercenary as to give
space to an advertiser who comes late In
stead Of the correspondent whose letter
might have come earlier. We want the
news, all the news and the latest news es-
pecially, but we are convinced that our
weekly letters could, for the most part,
reach us a day earlier, and if there are any
items of interest day later, send them on
in addition to the first letter. The adver-
tisements are the very life of newspaper
and we cannot afford to neglect our adver-
tisers even for the best of correspondents.
We sympathize with the latter in their
chagrin and dismay at seeing. what to
them. was the best part of their contribu-
tions, left out, and the surgeons knife is not
used with greater reluctance than is the
EDITORS blue pencil upon certain letters
that are among the weekly contribution
to the TRANscRI PTS budget of news. To all
such we say come earlier, and you'll fare
better, but if You cant come early, come any
how. but don't scold if we "cut' you.

Nor citizen of Delaware but must
regret that the election did not
close the political campaign. The
weeks and months Of contest before
the election were enough, and to have
the matter continued in the way of
contested elections is an affliction.
In some communities feeling ran so
high that business men were boycotted.
This was not confined to party but
faction against faction within parties.
It is wrong and should be discouraged.
Since the election was not allowed to
decide, as 1t should, but there are to be
contests over the Offices this feeling of
ill-will grows where it should have
died naturally. The men who pro-
longed this matter are responsible for
this condition but they care nothing
for the peace and happiness of COM
munities so they feed from the flesh
pots. All good citizens should frown
upon the boycott and If need be also
upon the boycotter. Men have right
to their opinions and they should have
the privilege to express their opinions
freely at the ballot box. That is free
government. That is good govern
ment.

How it Works in Colorado.

A correspondent of the New York
Journal writes an interesting description Of
tn scenes at the polls in Denver on elec.
ton day, where the women were voting
and women running for office, says the
Baltimore Sun. The picture IS not alto
gether attractive. Of the women whom he
interviewed great majority confessed that
female suffrage is failure. Many said they
had voted at this election as matter of
sentiment, but they would never vote
again. One working woman declared that
after voting that day she was out of politics
forever. She objected to being run after
and taken from her work by people who
wanted her vote. The criminal GLASS of
women, according to this correspondent,
voted solidly for the party in power, fear
ing the police. Other women divided their
vote, just as men do, and for the same
reasons. Many voted with their husbands.
Everywhere they were treated with re-
spect and Difference at the polls. The fol-
lowing conversation is interesting
Il turned to the woman who had not
spoken. "Of course I said. the great ad-
vantage Of suffrage is that it purifes poll.
tics There was silence for the space of a
few seconds there the women who had not
spoken said: The great advantage of
suffrage is that it teaches women that they
are not one bit better than men. We're
sat up for years and told have men how
corrupt their politics were, and men have
smiled up at US and told us how superior
we are and how we should have suffrage.
We've had large and enthusiastic surprise
party; we women have found out that our
politics are just as corrupt as mems politics
and they're just little trickier. We've
been at it two years, and we're scheming
and making combinations and doing all
the very things we've been finding fault
with the men for doing all these years. The
women of the better classes are getting
1isgusted and drawing out of politics Just
as our men have done, and the women of
he other classes have become enthusiastic
and have gone into politics jnst as their |
mankind have. Suffrage has certainly one
,reat advantage. 1t has taken the onceit |
)ut of women"
