 At a suffrage meeting in Boston the advocates were challenged to name any good results of Equal Suffrage in Color ado, and a resolution was passed calling attention to the fact that Colorado owes to her women the laws prohibiting child labor, raising the age of protection for girls to the age of IS, establishing a State Board of Arbitration, a State Industrial School for Girls and a State Home for Dependent Children.
 There is pious feeling among Southern men that voting, the one dignified express sion of opinion concerning the affairs of State, will so brush away the bloom of delicacy in women, that forever more they will degenerate into the low politician and trickster. This solictude is more strange when you compare the moral quality of casting a vote in broad open day time, guarded by police, and all sa- looms closed with tho career of society through the long night with cards and wine and theater, suppers and the society of men who are fair to look upon, but whose career is the whted sepulchre. Yet these very men, so full of benign protec- ton against the use of the ballot for women never lift up voice to regulate any of this.

Ex>Mayor Evans Favors
 Suffrage for Women

You ask me to write my views on the question of woman's suffrage. These views are fixed and determined by every argu- ment that has been adduced, pro and con- by public and private enterviews from both sexes, and through the press. Alb stractly, I favor woman's suffrage under certain limitations. If husband and wife are one, under human Interpretation Of Holy Writ, the will of the head of the family in matters of government should be an answer from both; therefore, 1 would bar every married woman in the State from the use of the ballot. because it would simply mean two votes for a married man to one of single man. The husband is supposed to be the head of the house, and so ought to be. But If there be a widow with property in her OWL right and name or a maiden who is bur- dened with a levy of taxes upon her prop erty, surely these should have voice in the management of government. For government, in its last analysis, is but the levying of tribute to the cause of pro- lection to the home and fireside.
 The argument by those who oppose wo- mans suffrage that woman should not be dragged into the maelstrom of politics Is no argument at all. She is always dragged into the maelstrom of tax-paying. Mo- body shudders at her approach to the till of the tax-gatherer and if she rushes in the crowd at the last remaining day to save default, even though an hundred men cause her to await her turn. no sympathy is expressed for her and she must bide her time to pay tribute to the governing power.

Capt W. C. Ward
 On Woman Suffrage

"Woman for some time has manifested
 to a degree insubordination to the long dominion of man. She now says that the
 Emancipation. of 1865 and the adoption of
 the Thirteenth Amendment to the Con-
 stitution of the United States was only a
 partial emancipation, since women, ire spective of Trace, color or previous condi- ton of servtude" has not all the legal rights and priviedges accorded to man, and will not until the right of suffrage is conferred upon her, and the right to buy, sell and convey real and personal prop erty, without the necessity of her husband joining in the conveyance and the right to hold office are conferred upon her. This is the advanced womans demand My nature revolts at inequality before the law except where such inequality among per sons of the same race Is the result of con- duct which occasions the forfeiture of le- gal rights. If in the South, only persons of Caucasian blood enjoyed the the full privileges and immunities of citizenship, no great evil could result from making woman an elector with all the rights of the man she calls or may call husband. But under existing circumstances in the South, to confer upon women the right to vote and hold office would if the white woman availed' herself of the right re- suit in her degradation. If only white men and white women voted, the voting places might be so conducted aud so arranged that she might decently and safely cast her ballot. But under the Fifteenth Amendment, if the right to vote is con- ferred upon woman, the negress would have the same right as the white woman. and no one can doubt that in hair-pull-

President of Woman's
 Club Gives Her Views

Tn an interview published in the Age Herald, the Hon. B. H. Craig gives most concise, sensible. logical explanation of his ordinance introduced into the Conven- tion giving the right of suffrage ta the women of Alabama And the wome- of Alabama can have only the most prorol-a appreciation for the kindly sentiment end the feeling of equity and justice on the part of MT. Craig which prompted the action.
 However, there is no doubt that even the proposition of such an innovation has taken the men of Alabama completely by surprise, to say nothing of the fiutter of agitation which has possessed the femin- inc portion. So serious, though, is Mr. Craig in his proposition that men and women all over the State nave discussed the new question quite as seriously and if for or against the movement have been expected to give good and sufficient rea- son therefor. MT. Craig is conservative in his statement when he says that the present agitation of suffrage for women is twenty years ahead of the times. I would have put the figures even in these progress sive times more broadly. In fact I -gery much wonder of the southern woman with her sweet heritage of the past ever could be induced to vote. When arguments are brought to bear to prove the justice of suffrage for women, no answer can bs made. They are incontestable. But sen- timent is as strong as fact, and the sen- timent that intervenes between present conditions and the casting of feminine votes at the polls will prove a serious bar Tier. And no one of the weighty prob- lens in discussing this question is what would be gained if the best element of --~-~~---

Miss Griffin Discusses
 Enfranchisement for Women

It has always afforded me great satis- faction to quote big-brained man when I wanted to specially emphasize any sub ject concerning which opinions differed, and, therefore, I make some quotations from President Northrop, of the Mime sota State University, who said in his ad- dress to the graduating class at com mencement on June 6:
 ""The State of Minnesota has never made any discrimination between men and women in the matter of education. The University from the first was opened to men and women alike. After more than a quarter of a century it is hard to say whether the men or the women are the best scholars. It has taken the world an unknown number of centuries to get rid of the idea that woman Is inferior to man and that she ought not to be trained for the best work she can do, but should be trained with special reference to her subordinate position as being in subjec- tion to man. At last we have discovered that the trained woman Is not inferior to the trained man; that the genius of George Eliot, Miss Evans) is not ob scured when placed beside that of a mas ter like Thackeray; that the persuasive eloquence of Francis Willard does not suffer in comparison with the speech of any man of the century," There are are several hundred girls in the Univer- sity of Minnesota. This Is pleasing to hear and now Governor Van Sant says some fine things to the National Suffrage Convention that met in Minneapolis May 30th. He gave the address of welcome in behalf of the State. He said: "It Is great pleasure to welcome this body of splendid women You are doing a splen- 6 tba ar1, xSa<e ,5,o get the balloot sooner is because you do not convert your own sex. I know, for have been member of the legislature If you wanted to vote like you want other things, you would come here and block ade the legislators so they could not get to their seats. Your motto Taxa ton without representation is tyranny is all right for men at least, and do not know why 1t should not be for women''
 The women of Minnesota have school suffrage and the right to vote for the board of public libraries, they serve as county superintendents and fill many of fees.
 The Woman'S Journal says: "In a few weeks the women of Norway will be ready to take part in local elections as full | fiedged voters. A bill conferring the mu- nicipal franchise upon women has passed both houses of the Norwegian Parlia ment, and will become a law at the end Of the present session The Norwegian women are not entirely new to the fran chse. Since 1895 they have exercised the right to vote on questions concerning the local regulations of the liquor traffic" Mrs. Caroline E. Murick, of New Or leans, said, in May. at the National Suf- frage Convention: Tn 1869 I made my first public address before the Louisiana Con- stitutional Convention, and we obtained one little article in our favor, making

 The arguments by those who oppose woman's suffrage that woman should not be dragged Into the maelstrom of pol tiles, Is no argument at all. She is al- ways dragged into the maelstrom of tax paying. I could cite hundreds of in stances in Alabama where women con- trol thousands of dollars subject to levy and sale by men, and they have no voice in the matter of what manner of man shall govern and what tribute they shall levy upon their property.-Ex-M Mayor Evans.
 If women are endowed with superior talents that lead to wider fields of labor why should man think he Is supreme. and compress this ability to sweeping floors, raising chickens and taking up butter Mrs. Samuel Will John
 The average woman does not desire to vote. A game of cards is of much more interest to her than the game of politics. For this. the average man pats her on the back and calls her womanly wo- man." I do not believe the men of Ala bama will give women their freedom yet awhile, but 1t is not because the ques- ton of woman's suffrage is ahead or the times, but because the men are not up with the times-Mrs. l.. Crozier French
 The women of Alabama can have only the most profound appreciation for the kindly sentiment and the feeling of equi- ty and justice on the part of MT. Craag which prompted the action.-Mrs Zac P. Smith, President of Woman's Club
 In 1869 I made my first public address before the Louisiana Constitutional Con vention, and we obtained one little art- cle in our favor, making women eligible to any office in connection with the pup lie schools: but it was only last year twenty years later, that we obtained the privilege for the tax-paying women or Louisiana to vote upon the assessment of their taxes.-Mrs. Caroline D. Merrick

women eligible to any office in connection with the public schools; but it was only last year, 20 years later, that we obtained the priviledge for the tax-paying women of Louisiana to vote upon the assessment of their taxes"
 The chief consideration for a man to vote Is whether he is insane, criminal or an idiot, and is 21 years old. But when he discusses the franchise for women, you d think that he kept vigils in the church. purified his conscience, spent weeks of fasting as the time to drop in his little bit of paper arrived, called in all his neighbors to assure him of his proper ap- preciation of the ballot, and had gone be- fore an examining board to prove his worthiness tc indulge in his high prero- gative. But s.e is afraid of the woman's vote for just cause. When she votes the low politiciol and demagosue yEil have

There can be no doubt that if she had a voice in the selection of school boards and trustees and county superintendents great good would results The care of the home and rearing the children must necessarily be entrusted to the women. In the selection of these school officers women ought to have voice. Sometimes questions of 'Iocal option" arise In a community ;shall intoxicants be sold or not In this ques- ton the women are vitally interested and in my opinion ought to control Can 1t be doubted that when the great question, liquor and anti-liquor'' was fought out in Atlanta, some years ago, If the women could lave voted. to-day Atlanta would have been 2 '.dry town" to the honor and

 That the question of equal suffrage should receive any consideration In the constitutional convention has been sur prise to Alabama women, and they should not forget that 1t is to MT, Craig that the turning of the new page is due.

Negroes, idiots and women were peace- able companions for many years in the ship of state and although deprived of the company of the first member of our trio, the car of progress has moved on carrying the last two with it. If. how ever, the Constitutional Convection de- cides to swap off the negro vote for that of the women, the latter will probably forsake the idiots and dutlfuly vote with their husbands and get counted in or out with them.-Mrs. John D. Wyker, Pres ident Alabama Federation of Women's Clubs
 When the Fifteenth amendment was passed Congress only had in mind male voters, and therefore it does not apply to women. An ordinance to allow white women to vote and exclude colored wo- men would be perfectly constitutional Women will not degraded by the use of the ballot-Senator John Tyler Nor gan.
 If we fail to provide for woman suf- frage now in our fundamental law fear it will be difficult to do so in the near future by Legislative enactment, and. great wrong will thereby be visited upon our women."-Hon. B. H. Craig.
 It has taken the world an unknown number of centuries to get rid of the idea that woman is inferior to man and that she ought not to be trained for the best work she can do, but should be trained with especial reference to her subordi- nate position as a being in subjection to man. Where women vote the low politi- clan and the demagogue will have an electric current turned on some of their ways that are dark and tricks that are vain It has proven so in all States where women help to choose the law makers.-Brances D.

 Under the Fifteenth amendment, if the right to vote is conferred upon women, the negress would have the same right as the white woman, and no one can doubt that in a hair pulling contest for superiority the negress would have a great advantage Under existing circum- stances to confer upon women the right to vote and hold office, if the white wo- man avaied herself of this right, it
