A landsman was once appointed TO
position in the navy by political
favoritism. Soon after coming on
board he went TO the captain with a
long face and said, They have just
told me to weigh the anchor, and 1

Some people seem to know as little
about weighing evidence as the
landsman knew about weighing the

Mrs. Arthur H. Dodge at a recent
anti-suffrage meeting is reported to
have said that equal suffrage in
Colorado was a failure, but that it
was impossible to obtain for publ.
cation letters from Colorado testify
ing to the fact.
Note the significance OF this ad-
mission. When public sentiment in
a community is largely divided upon
any question, there is no trouble in
getting expressions of opinion upon
both sides. If there is even a strong
minority upon one side, there are
snre TO be members Of that minority.
who are ready to state their views.
If it is found impossible to get
letters from Colorado declaring
equal suffrage to be failure it
means, not that there is no one in
Colorado who regards it as a failure,
but that such persons are so few as
to be unwilling to express them
selves against the whelming
preponderance of public opinion in
their state to the contrary. There
is no possible escape from this con-
clusion.
In Wyoming equal suffrage has
prevailed for thirty-two years and
for fifteen years the friends Of
suffrage have had a standing
challenge, inviting its opponents TO
find two respectable persons in the
whole state who will assert over
their own names and addresses that
it has had any bad results whatever.
The opponents have thus far failed
TO respond. Stone Blackwell.
