great majority of women Will not vote
If granted the privilege-has to be
taken with several grains of allowance.
In Colorado the woman vote increased
from 1920 in 1899 to S6.943, owing,
to the greater interest taken in the
election because of the marked SubSi
dence of free silver sentiment, but
more directly. however. to their wish
to effect the defeat of Senator E. 0.
WolcOtt, whose recent divorce had pro-
yoked the opposition of the women of
Colorado.
Two other deductions that may be
made from the returns are: The dISln-
clination IF women to support candi-
dates of their own sex for. office and
disposition to rebuke any attempts
on the part of party bosses to control
or manipulate the woman vote. The
only woman candidate for office in
Utah, the woman who seconded the
nomination of Bryan at Kansas City
ran far behind her ticket and
was defeated. although a woman of
great personal popularity. In Wyom-
ing democratic candidate for con-
greSS who had made a statement in
letter to the Anti-Suffrage association
of New York. that 1.-The woman vote
was the easiest thing to get and to
manipulate Of any element in poll
TICS was defeated by the votes of
women
1t is also alleged that the woman vote
was nearly third of the vote cast,
and threw the state to Mckinley.
1t is apparent from the meager re-
turns at hand from states having
female suffrage that the woman vote
is an unstable and Skitti>h quantity.
In politics. as in the words of Scott,
woman remains uncertain, coy and
hard to please" She votes or not,
according to her wishes or whimS. and
no man or woman either can tell in
advance what particular prejudice is
going to defect her vote from the
immediate issue of the hour.

An ImpracticabIe Scheme.



Again there is a disposition on the
part of Marshtield rustlers and Toma-
hawk huStlerS to form new counties
with their respective towns as county
seats. Now, this is all well enough to
talk about but when it comes down to
the reality of the thing it is altogeth-
er different proposition. A realiZa-
ton of their dreams would mean that
there would have to be large slice
chopped off from the western part of
Marathon county, also a large slice
at The north, leaving the county
among the very smallest of the state.
The time is ripe to Illustrate these
schemes and our state senator and
assembiymen should at once unite
with members of the legislature whose
counties are proposed to be divided
and make determined effort to pre-
vent anV such division.

At the meeting Of the Methodist
general missionary committee il
New York Monday, Bishop Goodsell
OF Tennessee elected tremendous
applause from the large audience
present by severely attacking the pope
and assailing the church of Rome,
federation of opposing religious ideas
has never been characteristic of the
church; even in this country Roger
Williams was driven out Of the Puri-
tan settlement in Massachusetts, a
body of people who had sought refuge
there from religious persecution in
England. In view of the intolerance
that has characterized all religious
bodies in the past, the fact that This
country has no state or recognized
church should be regarded as one of
our greatest blessings. Freedom of
worship here is bulwark Of liberty
to all, and should be as much priced
by the man who loves his church as
by the rank outsider, for be your
opinions what they may no man can
modest you for maintaining them,
and the fact that there are so many
strong churches of diverse religious
beliefs is q guarantee that we will
long enjoy this blessing.

Out in Colorado, the other day, a
young negro was burned until death
relieved his horrible sufferings. He
had assaulted and murdered young
woman, and to her father was
delegated the position of lighting
the faggOtS that consumed him, d
Job that the old man very gladly
performed. All Of the atrociouS
circumstances of this barbarouS act
was witnessed by large crowd of
people who had assembled from far
and near. Many newspaper reporters
were present to note for publication
every item connected with the
terrible tragedy, and the authorities
from the governor down winked at,
if they did not openly approve of the
infamy. Civilization may be produc-
ing Il higher type OF man than the
sayagcS who formerly populated the
earth, but this lapse into barbariSm
is altogether too frequent in this
country to satisfy the Sceptical
observer that human nature differs
greatly in the savage or civilized
breast. 1t is pleasure to note in this
connection that witches are no longer
burned in this country.

Women Vote in Four States.
Chicago Times Herald.

The results of the election in Utah,
Colorado, Wyoming and Idaho have an
interest that does not attach to the
returns from other states In these
states the women have full suffrage,
and vote for all offices, including presi-
Dental electors. The woman vote in
these states is therefore, interesting
as forming basis for calculating the
influence of this factor in politics
and for estimating the extent to which
women are apt to avail themselves of
the full elective franchise when grant
