The Republican certainly did no.
mean TO convey the impression that it
Is opposed to woman suffrage. Whesh.
err for good or i'll, it is a part of the
law OF the state and will
never be eradicated. But the good
predominates. The very objection urg.
ed by the editor of the Herald Is to
our mind the greatest good. He says
his objection is based upon the
thought that man n woman are one,
not two, while this would separate
them in a sense" 1t has been our
observation that the suffrage has not
separated man and wife. The wife,

a blessing rather than an evil. for the
reason that the basis of our govern,
ment is the home. There is purity

homes Of America. The ballot for
good government is therefore strength
ened to just the extent that the hus

The suffrage is not a right, but a

OPPOSED TO WoMAN's SUFFRAGE

Not long since The Republican pub.
lished an editorial in which woman sui.
frage was discussed to some extent
and the women of Wyoming were ask
ed to look into their hearts and ask
themselves the question, What are We
doing for the betterment OF the moral
conditions IN the state?" Taking this
editorial rs n text, the ~Encampment
Herald, ably edited by Mr.. C. S. Nc
Candless, says;
"On another page is an editorial from
The Laramie Republican on the in,
ftuence of women in Wyoming politics.
Read 1t. Editor Chaplin is an able
writer, a keen observer and a well in.
formed man of affairs. And, while he
is exceedingly cautious in his remarks,
II is easy to read between the lines
the writer's thought that woman suf.
frage has not worked good in matters
political. He says that perhaps the
only real change brought about by wo
man suffrage has been the producing
of a little higher moral tone In the
conduct OF elections. Perhaps this
n thing has been bettered n little.
Certainly we would call that faint
praise.
The Herald Is not backward in say
ing that it does not believe in woman
suffrage. The writer was at one time
an ardent advocate of the cause and
believed it would result in sweeping
reforms In all political parties. Also
that the questions of temperance and
gambling would be settled Immediately
beyond recall. Now, let us look the
matter squarely in the lace. What tas
been the result and what the effects
of woman suffrage? Unless we ara
misinformed there is no woman suf.
frage state where prohibition prevails.
Yet this is the one thing above all
others held up as the grand reason for
placing he ballot in woman's hand.
But those results have not materiallz.
ed In any line anu those who looked
for great reform have been disappoint,
ed. Nor Is this to be wondered at or
regretted. For nan to shrink his plain
duties and responsibilities and look to
woman to discharge these for him is
belittling and demoralizing. Woman is
neither better nor worse than man.
Placed in like conditions and surround
ed by the same environment, subjected
to the same temptation and with no
more restrictions thrown about her.
we would find woman n man occupy
ing exactly the same moral plane.
Hence, when we place on the
same political level as man, we must
expect neither more nor less from her
and suffer no disappointment when She
fails to reach higher things.
Our objection to suffrage is
based upon one thing. namely. the
thought that man and woman are one.
not two, while this would separate
them in that sense. We would not
have the least objection to woman
alone taking over the government if 1t
seemed best and leaving to mar the du
ties now devolving upon her, but it
would seem as though this is scarcely
possible at present.
However, while we have equal suf-
frage and woman has the RESPONSE
bilities OF the ballot thrust upon her.
we would commend to all who read
this the following quotation from the
editorial already referred to:
lie the women Of Wyoming look
into their hearts and ask themselves
the question, What are we doing for
the bettermen of moral conditions in
u state?'"

Separator and Grain Burned.

During the strong wind Satur-
day afternoon sparks from John
Conarroe's thresher engine set
fire to the straw and grain stacks
on the ranch of G. F. Monez, nine
miles southeast of Elbert, and
about 760 bushels of rye in the
stack, $50 or more grain sacks
and Mr.. Conarroe's separator
were totally destroyed. About
125 bushels of sacked grain was
saved, although the sacks con-
tanning it were burned. The fire
caught and burned so quickly it
was impossible to pull the sepa-
rator away from the burning
grain before the machine was on
fire inside and out.
Mr.. Conarroe's loss amounts to
$500 on the machine. Mr.. Monez
estimates his loss at $3.50. 1t in
cludes his entire crop with the
exception of 25 acres of oats and
some corn and potatoes.
Mr.. Conarroe went to Denver
Monday to secure another sepa-
ratOr.

continue the Sunday passenger train on
this division indefinitely, running on the

we never could see how the company

Elbert lost one of its oldest and most
estimable families Monday by the de
parture OF Mr.. and Mrs. jacob Epler,
their daughters, Opal and Ruby, and Mr..
and Mrs. o. K. Long, the latter another
daughter, for Glendora, Cal, where they
will reside in the future. Mr.. Epler had
resided in this locality for almost 30
years, twenty years Of which he lived in
Elbert, where he was almost constantly
engaged in business until April, 1906,
when he sold out and retired from active
business life. Mrs. Epler and daughters
will be greatly missed in social and
church circles in which they always took
and active interest. Their many friends
in Ebert and Elbert county wish them
good health and every possible success
in their new home.
