SUFFRAGE IN COLORADO.
Civic Federation Says 1t Has Been Sue
cess.

Denver, Colo, May 13.-The Colorado
Suffrage Association and the Civic Fed
GRAFTON of Denver, have made statement
In reply to reports circulated of late re-
garding the results of..woman's suffrage IN
Colorado In part the statement is as fol-
lows: when false statements are MADE
the weapons with which to defeat the lib
erty of women in other states, measure
of authoritative self-assertion becomes
necessary. We do not claim that phe-
nomenal good has been secured by the
vote of women The tyranny of political
machinery, made effective by long usage
under the management OF trained work
ers, cannot be overcome by the enthusi-
asm of raw recurits. We do claim
that the women of Colorado have vital
where seeking a better social order
sThe successful outcome of the late
municipal election in Denver, occurring
as it did, three years after our enfran-
chisement, was the first triumph of an
organizanized effort made by women to
influence conventions and carry an cleo
ton. The success is considered an earn
est of future achievements through wom-
ems ballot in the interest of reform New
er before, since the establishment of inn
partial suffrage in our state, has there
been here such concentrated effort in be-
half of reform legislation
In our present house of representa-
tlves, the efforts toward practical economic
reform Is illustrated in the careful work
OF the printing committee which, under
the care of Mrs Conine, is found to have
cost the state two thousand dollars less
during the session lately adjourned than
ever before. To the efficiency of Mrs.
Peavey's administr alton of the offices of
state superintendent of public instructions
commissioner OF school books and state
librarian, fine testimony is given by the
German element of our population.
Ii the absurd and unfounded COM
ments OF the press in regard to the liber.
atty OF Colorado women to the require
ments of military service, and rumors of
unwomanly violence of temper in state
convention, be worthy of notice, it may
be answered that the women of the cen
tennial state are as securely exempt from
military duty as are the women living
under the control of those states which
still deny to them the gentle, but etfec
tive weapon Of the ballot No representa-
tive convention has had such experience
of wild disorder as has been announced
by miSinfOrmed eastern papers.
The few women who sit as members
in the representative hall of our beautiful
Colorado capital, seem unconsciously, to
impose upon its proceedings greater regard
for the amenities of speech and conduct
than is observed in the upper house.
Primaries are now convened in home
parlors and polling booths are arranged
in respectable buildings, and voting is
invariably conducted with decorum /"

Since the burglaries of Sunday night
more attention has been given by East

Filth and Filth Diseases.

The Talladega Mountain Home, in dis cussing the proposed national quarantine, says: If 1t tends to make our coast cities the least derelict in matters of local clean Illness, then it were better that government control should remain uninvoked." True enough; for all the nations in the world cannot make a foul dirty town fever proof No nation can eradicate the fever in such town after it once gains foot hold.
 But there are other cities, besides coast cities, to which the Mountain Homes warning is applicable. All towns, no mat ter where they are located, no matter what the season of the year or the danger that is for the moment uppermost, can af- ford to harbor filth of any kind within it's limits Eternal cleanliness is the price of health. This is even demonstrable to the eye in this age of bacilli and microbes and bacteria. Under a glass one can see the malignant varieties. and 1t is in filth that these varieties thrive and multiply. until they are ready to attack and destroy the human race
 And there is no danger of carrying the campaign of cleanliness too far It should extend to the family well, to the cellar and it's contents, to the condition of the soil under a cellarless dwelling, to the attic and whatever is stored there, to the rear premises, to the stable. If the soil over which a dwelling stands be damp, there is a perpetual invisible vapor all around and throughout the house, and this invisible vapor is sapping the vital forces every hour of the twentyfour. And if there be a rotting pile of vegetables or other de- bris in or near human habitation, there in that pile are millions of accommodating microbes that search out every crack in the dwelling and finally perhaps find lodG ment in human victim,
 Cleanliness means much more than safe ty against yellow fever-it means safety against scarlet fever, diphtheria typhoid fever and even consumption. Each Of these diseases kill every year in this state and in all other states more than yellow fever ever has. or ever will All are filth diseases. even consumption. True, 1t Is only recently that consumption has been traced to that source. but the evidence is overwhelming, and strict cleanliness would drive away every one of these scourges. Not one of them is due to anything inher- ited, or to any natural predisposition, CT to any other kindly excuse. Each and every one of them springs from filth some- where, and in some way.
 So The Age-Herald desires to amend the Mountain Homes warning by making it good for all towns in the state, no matter how high or how low they may be, as to the sea. Cleanliness is us necessary to health in one place in another Not partial cleanliness, but absolute clcanli- ness. if freedom from filth diseases be de- sired

At Tuscaloosa.

The Tuscaloosa convention is not a pic- nic. The business to be transacted there touches the pockets of every man in this section of the state. The happiness and comfort and well-being of every man, wo- man and child in this city is bound up in its conclusions, and perhaps in it's manner of stating them. For the heavy products of the mineral district of Alabama, how ever valuable and ample, cannot stand railroad charges, even when those charges are reduced to minimum.
 The voice of the convention will be con- sidered the voice of the state-perhaps of the gulf states, in relation to the subject it proposes to discuss. Its deliberations are not in any sense local because the sub jects that will come before it relate to na- tional trade, and to the fuel supply at least of several great states
 Every man who has been selected by his fellows to attend the convention should go. No man has more important business, either as to himself or his neighbors, than will come up at Tuscaloosa. No excuse, at least none connected with private business, should therefore be permitted to intervene Let every man named go.
 And when he reaches the convention hall let him turn every atom of gray matter that he possesses upon the subjects in hand. It will be a time for mental alert ness and activity. Go to the convention with Birmingham first in view. and then Alalsma, and then the country at large. What is good for one of the three Is good for the other two Let no good idea go un- expressed. Think of the iron products of the district as well of it's coal products. Cover the ground, and then come home with the satisfaction that for once this wonderful district has found defenders and friends, and that it's just claims will find advocates in the halls of congress.

the percentage of increase in the popula- tion. In the ten years ended in 1890, the homicides show an increase of 60 per cent. while the population was increased but 9 per cent. The growth of the crime Is shown to be progressive. No wonder, then, that the Charleston News and Courier was recently moved to say:
 Human life is the cheapest thing in South Carolina. The juries are organized to acquit. The state is always at a disad- vantage in prosecuting those charged with murder The administration of the law is affected by local and class conditions. We choose our victims. 1t is the man without influence or money who feels the strong hand of the law. Public opinion is with the man who reaches the hip pocket first and gets the drop
 For this distressing and exceptional state of things, Prof. Lombroso is compelled to look beyond the degree of culture. He finds that climate and immigration have much to do with it, and that the presence of two races in the south aggravates the problem. In the states that are flooded with Italians, Russians and Hungarians the percentage of homicides is high, while in the states to which the Swedes and Danes resort 1t is low. The learned crimi- nologist however attributes much of the country's percentage to it's colored popula- ton. The colored people constitute but 12 per cent of the population, but they are responsible for 10 per cent of the homi- cides. Were 1t not" adds the professor, flor the negro population the crime of homicide would be almost as rare in the United States as it is in the most civilized countries of Europe"
The age-herald., 1897-12-26
Homicide Here and Elsewhere.

Prof. Lombroso begins consideration of Prof. Lambraso begins a consideration of the frequency of homicides in the United States. As rule, he shows that homicide decreases as culture increases. Greater culture goes, of course. with increased wealth. greater diversity of population, and diminished illiteracy. Thus in Italy there are SC homicides per 100000 inhabitants; in England but five in that number of people. In Spain there arc 5S per 0oGCO people; in Germany only five. in Hungary there are 75 hornicides per 100000 people; in Sweden and Norway only 13.
 Prof Lombroso admits at the outset that this country is an exception to the rule. In other countries the number of homi- cides decreases as culture increases; here, homicides are not only frequent. but they are actually increasing In number beyond
