THE HINDU EDITOR

In amusing csndor and ingenuity OF

something from his Hindu brother, who.
when anything goes wrong with the pa
per for which he IS responsible, is as
fertile In excuses as a Chinaman. says
an English writer.
When the first copy Of a new Hindu
newspaper made its appearance recently
It's subscribers were amazed TO see thai

calculation. We thought we had suhi-
Gent material and consequently did not
trouble TO collect more. We can assure
our indulgent readers that this VIII not
occur again; and we trust the quality OF
the contents Will make up for their lack
Of quantity"
Another Hindu editor found it neces-
sary to suspend the publication of his
paper for fortnight without any warn

WHERE ARE WE?

It appearing to US on the face of the
returns of the late Republican prim-
aries that the voters of Seattle were
neither in political harmony nor pub
lie accord with the political ideas as
well as the mayoralty candidate ad-
vOcated by The Seattle Republican, it
is incumbent upon us to explain where
we are at from a political standpoint
as to the present municipal contest.
This, we admit, is no easy task, but we
believe we can the more readily ex-
plain to you our position by relating a
true story to life, which was told in
our presence a few years ago. A
stranger, who was compelled to travel
through a sparsely settled Southern
swampy country, was uncertain as to
his directions, and having perchance
to run across a philosophical old col
ored man whose queer philosophy was
frequently seasoned with spices of
humor he inquired Of him his direc-
lions. In reply to question of what
road and which direction he should
take to reach his destination, the
stranger carefully listened to the fol-
lowing directions from his ebony-hued
guide: 'Take dis road and go bout
mile til you com to de forks; den
take the right han fork. Den keep
straight head til you come to annud-
der fork; den take the left han fork
and go annudder mile, den you will
reach a mighty big swamp; den go
round dat swamp til you come to a
mighty big oak bout de middle of de
swamp and den stop" And the guide
ceased to give further directions.
YES" chimed in the bewildered trav-
eler, 'but where am I at them" WELL
boss, if you'se not loss den damfno
how to loose you" In our feeble way
we have tried to direct the voters of
this city the proper way out of the poll
teal wilderness in which we believed
they had been lead, but they either
seemed to think that either we our
selves were lost, or that they them
selves preferred to be lost rather than
to be found by our directions, and to
which all we have to say is, be lost In
the past this paper has always stood
for the Republican nominees regard
less of whom they were, but it feels
at this time that the voters of Seattle
have thoroughly made up their minds
as to what course they will pursue in
the coming election, therefore, moth
ing that it can say one way or the
other will, in its opinion, alter or
change the minds of such voters We,
under the circumstances, are therefore
compelled to say to you that you are
at liberty to vote your honest conVic-
tons for the next mayor of the city of
Seattle whether those convictions will
lead you to vote for the Republican,
Democrat, Populist or any other of the
many nominees that have been made
for your suffrage next Tuesday. Your
vote at the primary and at the late
city convention was tantamount to
saying to US, go way back and sit
down." and we have done so.

WOMAN'S SUFFRAGE.

The opponents Of woman suffrage,
who predicted dire results for Colo
RADIO for giving women the right to
vote in that state, has not realized
the results that they expected. For
eight years the women of Colorado
have voted and, on the whole, accord
ing to Mr.. William Macleod Raine's
summary of it, the women have con-
Quoted themselves at the poles just as
well, if not better, as the men. At
least fifty per cent. of the women of
the state have availed themselves of
the opportunity to vote and while they
do not always vote so as to meet the
appreciation of the male voters, yet
it is said without fear of successful
contradiction that they have always
voted for what they deemed right
The women do not seem so partisanly
blind as the men and generally vote
for the nominee that impresses them
as being the man who will conduct the
affairs of his Office as it should be-
Through the influence of women votes,
much reform legislation has been en-
acted in the state of Colorado, which
to the better thinking people of both
classes, seems to be of the right
kind of legislation for humanitys
sake. The women succeeded in pre-
venting the husbands in Colorado
from mOrtgaging the home without the
consent of the wife. A new primary
election law was passed by the legis-
the women. 1t was through their eff
forts that a bill was passed raising
the age of consent of girls from four
teen to eighteen years of age. They
have also done much toward lettering
the conditions of the prisons and re-
form schools in the state, especially
where girls are detained and such I'M
fortunate girls can now learn useful
trades in the reformatory and when
they leave the school they will have
something in their possession with
which they can make living if they
so desire. Let it be understood that
there are always a number of women |
just as there are men in politics for |
what there is in it for them. They
are trading commodity and will sell |
their vote just as readily as the men, |
but let it be distinctly understood, |
if Mr.. Raine is to be believed, that |
they will sell it no quicker than the
men. The lower element of women |
sell their votes as do the men of the |
same stripe and they work politics, /
