FARMERS INDEPENDENCE.

1t is something Of a credit to the
intelligence and independence of
northern Colorado people in politics
that both democrats and republicans
find it necessary to ire their largest
guns in this territory. The. one day
trip of william Jennings Bryan was
put in pretty thoroughly in the
farming district of this part of the
state. Greeley, Fort Collins,
Boulder and Denver were the only
cities in which he appeared and
spoke. His talks, no doubt, did
much to counteract the work of the
republicans the last few days.
Nevertheless, had the Weld county
farmer not been recognized as indie
pendent in his political views there
would be little use of Mr. Bryan
coming here as people would vote
strictly on party lines any way, and
no amount Of oratory would change
them. But the people are independ
ent and ready to listen to common
sense talk, no matter from what
party, providing they have not other
occupation that is really of more
Importance than politics. Just now
the farmers are so busy harvesting
the largest beet crop ever grown here
and getting that into safety that
mere campaign oratory has but little
inducement for them to leave the
| fields. That Is also why he can
afford to be independent. There is
no corporation boss to tell him to
vote right or lose his income. The
best he can hope for from the best
government is the pride and satis-
faction that every American should
feel that his country is the best and
most honestly governed in the world
and the worst he need fear right
now from the poorest government
is that his county may fall into the
hands of lot of incompetent Office
holders who may rob him of the
price of few tons of sugar beets.
But in this respect he has little OF
nothing to fear this year, no matter
which parry wins, as there never
were better men put up for Office or
both sides than will be found or
the two tickets here this fall. Don't
blame the farmer, therefore, ii he
turns deaf ear to your harangues,
and tells you to come around aftel
his crops are all in and he may talk
q little politics with you.

WOMEN ON POLITICS
Two Prominent Speakers Were
Here Last Saturday

"Women's Duty in Politics. was
the theme of two interesting dis
cussions by Mrs. NJ. A. B. Conine
and Miss Ellis Meredith of Denver
at the home OF Senator W. L. Clay
ton last Saturday afternoon. The
meeting was held to create greater
interest amung.. the women in civic
responsibilities and incidentally to
organize a women's democratic club.
Mrs. NJ. A. B. Conine. the first
speaker. was the first woman to sit
in legislative halls of this state, as
representative from Arapahoe county
in 1897. The same year she was
made chairman of.the legislative COM
mittee of the Colorado Federation of
Women's Clubs. This committee
was organized upon the suggestion of
Mrs Peavy who had just finished a
two year term as state superintend-
ent OF public instruction and felt the
need of having law compelling reg
istration preliminary to voting on
school elections. This was the first
work entered upon by the legislative
committee.
Mrs. Conine told how gradually
the scope Ct work had been enlarged
until it includes legislation Of inter
est to women and children, educa-
tional affairs in state, improvement
of methods in penal and charitable
institutions, rendering invaluable
assistance in the establishment of a
bureau of child and animal protec-
tion, the best child labor law in the
country, juvenile court Of national
reputation. equal property rights and
equal guardianship of children, in
determinate sentence or pay roll sys-
tenn In penitentiary and travelling
| library commission.
These topics were most interest.
ingly presented by Mrs. Conine, who
confined herself strictly to legisla-
tion and allowed Ellis Merideth to
talk politics.
Ellis Merideth is perhaps the best
known woman in the trans Missis-
sippi states through her work for
woman's suffrage, her ability as
newspaper writer, charming short
stories and two books of more than
passing interest. She has been for
the past two years chairman of the
committee on state institutions in
Colorado Federation Of Woman's
clubs and now is vice chairman of
the democratic state central commit
tee and in that capacity was here
and spoke of the present duty of
Colorado women. She told the story
from a personal point of view of the
gubernatorial contest in the last
legislature and her appeal became
not so much one for partisanship as
an appeal for better citizenship.
She urged women to study political
questions not SO much from parti-
san standpoint but from the point of
view Of the philosophy of good gov
eminent and the principles upon
Which our form of government ia
founded. Naturally Ellis Merideth
believes with all her heart that tine
principles of good government are to
be found ever and always in the
democratic party and to her Bryan
