Universal Suffrage in Colorado.

1t is evident from the recent election
suffrage prevails and women. SO far as
the ballot is concerned, have been on
complete equality with men, that
very successful plot exists to render
the name of any female office-seeker
Dennis. Naturally enough. if the won-
en- stood by one another, this situation
would not be possible, inasmuch as
their votes would offset those OF the
men, but unfortunately the woman
candidate for office must be plain IN
deed who can escape hostilities among
the members of her own sex. Conse-
auently, where the men present fair
ly solid front in voting, the chances of
the woman candidate are reduced to a
minimum and generally to the vanish
ing point.
There have been, in this state OF
advanced IDEAS" women members OF
the Legislature, central committee
women state senators, but it is evident
that these things are becoming matters
of the past. At the recent election only
four women candidates were nominated
for the Legislature. and all of them
were defeated by decisive majorities.
1t is evident that the men in Colorado
have risen in their might and are as
serting themselves One political lead
er of that state explains the situation
thus:

tive 1--WE will call her Smith) registered

so the poor men folks were looked upon
with pity. People would say That is
Mrs. Jones' husband or There is the
husband of the Hon. Elizabeth jerks,
member of the house
OF course this condition of affairs
was somewhat narrowing to the mas
culine mind, and in view of the situa
ton it is not surprising that the men
of Colorado have risen in their might
and have notified the women of that
state by their ballots that their proper
place is i'll the sanctuary of the home.

Southern Prosperity,

The Atlantic Constitution gives some
growth Of the South in material pros
pcrity 1t calls attention to the fact
that the South now has just 100000
less population than that of the whole
country in 1860, but it's real and per-
sonaI property. including fourteen
Southern states, is 81 900, 900 900 more
than the real value of such property in
the whole country in 1860.
Conspicuous among the Southern
states making vast material progress
are Georgia and Alabama. In Georgia
vast sums of money are being sub
scribed for the development Of water
power and the construction of new
long distance lines of electric railway
new factories and buildings of every
character.
Alabama shows this year an in
crease in the assessments of taxable
property over last year of s29.000,0G0 in
round numbers. This year the total
assessed valuation of property in four
teen Southern states will probably be
about s., 100, 900 900, or an increase over
last years figures for these states Of
$3.50 900 400. Southern farm values
have also increased between 1900 and

Arizona and New Mexico.

The refusal Of the people of Arizona,
by large vote, to accept statehood in
combination with New Mexico, was
not unexpected. At the same time it
probably means that both will remain
, territories at least until after the next
censuse has supplied the data to en-
able Congress to decide whether one or
both Of them have the stability of
population that would justify their adj
mission to statehood. The experience
of Nevada miners camp-suggests
the advisability Of caution in the crea-
ton of new states. The total popula-
ton of Nevada as returned by the cen
sus Of 1900, was 1885. This is 67S2
less than the population Of Kennebec
county as returned by the same CEN
sus. Still the people Of Nevada have
two members of the United States Sem
ate and exercise that disproportionate
power in national legislation. So far
as the United States Senate is con-
cerned the vote of a citizen of Nevada
IS equal to the vote of 16 citizens of

citizens of the great state of New York.

the constitution would. doubtless, have

that in the main this balance Of power
