Endorsed by Wyoming LEGISLATURE.

Endorsed by Wyoming Legislature.
The following resolution endorsing wo-
mans suffrage unanimously passed both
houses of the Wyoming legislature, at
its recent session:
Whereas, The question of equal suf-
frage is being seriously considered in
many states Of the union; and
Whereas, Equal suffrage has been in
operation in Wyoming ever since ter
ritorial days in 1869, during which time
women have exercised the privilege of
voting generally and intelligently, with
the result that higher standard of can
didates have usually been selected for
office; elections have been made peace
full, orderly and dignified; the general
character Of legislation improved; intel
ligence IN political, civil and social mat
tiers greatly increased; and,
Whereas, Under the responsibilities
incident to suffrage, the women of Wy
Oming have not in any sense been de-
prived OF any of their womanly qualities,
but on the contrary the womanhood Of
Wyoming has developed to a broader use
fulness.
Therefore, Be it resolved, by the house
Of representatives, that in view of the
beneficence and practical results Of quail
suffrage for men and women OF Wyom-
ing. the acknowledgment Of women is
hereby endorsed as great national re-
form and a measure that will improve
and advance the political and social con-
ditions Of the country at large

AN ORGAN DEDICATION

An interesting program was given last
evening at the dedication of the new
organ in Our Savior lutheran church.
The organ is a splendid one, mellow and
full in tone and has 853 pipes. The out
ward finish is very pleasing and makes an
effective addition to the church. A. M.
Shuey showed the possibilities of the new
organ to the best advantage playing num-
bers from Wagner Handel and Gounod.
Heinrich Gunnersen, the church organist,
supplemented Mr.. Shuey's selections with
a composition Of his own and number
from Peer Gynt." A special chorus of
female voices trained and conducted by
Jacob Z. Hort sang Hear My Prayer
by Mendelssohn and DAY Is at Last De-
parting" by Raft, with excellent effect.
The balance aqf the voices was almost
perfect The soprano solo in the first Sc
lection was sung by Miss Sylvia Thor
crimson whose voice, though still imma-
ture, is very sweet and gives promise of
future development. The church choir
presented Heinrich Gunnersen's festival
cantata which was composed for this oc-
casion: #; proved to be a composition of,
much merit and was well presented. j..
4. Hjort took the tenor solos and C. S..
Laird, the barytone.

Colorado Federation Admits Men.

At a meeting held recently of the ex-
ecutive committee Of the Colorado feder-
alton it was voted to admit to member
ship in the federation clubs whose mem
bers include men as well as women This
is an innovation which will startle many
club members of both sexes. Colorado is
not, after all, the first state federation to
admit a mixed club, altho 1t is the first to
take formal action in the matter III
inois has for some time permitted, with
out actually encouraging, mixed member
ship. The General Federation not very
long ago considered the matter and de-
cided that men could not be members of
the General Federation of Women's clubs.
