EQUAL SUFFRAGE

ALLY AS MANY WOMEN AS
MEN CAST THEIR VOTES.

Denyer.-A New York dispatch says
that woman suffrage will become uni
versal in this country was predicted In
a speech made here Friday by Gov
ernor Shafroth of Colorado, who was
the guest of the Equal Franchise
League. He was introduced by Mrs.
Clarence II. Mackey.
He said that equal suffrage is right.
sxpedient and practical. and asserted
that the women desire 1t.
ut was in the mountain states. the
birthplace of freedom" he said, that
suffrage first was given to women. and
1t is as sure to extend to every state
in the Union. as that every principle
o: right is bound ultimately to tri-
umph-"
Putting to himself the question
whether women want the ballot. he
said:
ASK the women Of Colorado. Sub
nit to those who have tried II the
question and scarce a corporafs guard
will be found to vote against 1t.
THE fact that no legislator has ever
introduced in the general assembly of
Colorado a bill to re-submit the ques-
ton to the people shows that there
Ia no demand for any change in the
elective franchise of that state. The
principle OF equal rights for women Is
as irrevocably determined In Colorado
rs the freedom Of the negro is deter
mined In the nation"
To show that the women vote when
they have the opportunity. Governor
shafroth said that $4,000 women out Of
IS 900 registered in Denver In 1905
had voted. while OF Al 500 men. 10000
had voted. the proposition being about
the same. On this point he added:
THE contention that good women
will not vote is fatty contradicted by
the returns in the four equal suffrage
states OF the Union. In proportion TO
the number of women in these states,
fully as many vote as men"
He also undertook to refute the con
tentlon that the exercise Of the fran
chise would degrade women. saying in
part:
"The respect for women is based
upon her intelligence and morality. Is
there anything calculated to degrade
her In the act of going to the polls
on election day. where she will find in
line her neighbors and friends. and
casting her vote to determine state
and national questions. and who shall
administer the affairs OF the govern
ment? Does any man believe that he
has been degraded by casting an hon
est vote? Why should We assume that
Il will degrade women and not mem"

Sensitive people seem to enjoy sen

lookout for something to give them
pain They are much like a cat

dragging around on the floor ready
to be tramped upon. We are crowded
pretty thick upon life's great thorough
fare, and can't we'll help elbowine
each other as we pass along. Nine.
ty-nine times out of every hundred no
harm is intended, but those sensitive
people. who have the longest and
sharpest elbows of anybody, are al
ways attributing a motive to every
accidental jog they get. The fact is,

Home.

NFOlif1s
\ happy home is the brightest spot
on earth tha THE eye of God looks
down upon. Love and peace in his
home sands sunshine around the man
wherever he tgoes; disorder and trou-
bic there is misery everywhere. There
are few worries of life which a man
cannot now and then shake off, but
who can shake himself free from the
skeleton in the closet, from the Wor-
ry of the household, a blister on the
heart. 4 day viii tell how many a
man carries that with him without
Wincing down to the grave. When
husband and wife are helpmate TO
each other in the best sense; when
order and love and goodness prevail
in the house then the man who has Il
hard battle in life to fight can leave
his struggles behind him when he
enters there. With all our faults
we are the most home loving of peo-
pie and that is the reason why we
are the greatest OF people. What
ever helps home life is n national
blessing, whatever hurts home life
is a national curse. and the greatest
curse that can touch these blessings
is what would tamper with the peace
and 0ie8aedngss Of our homes.

Good Morning.

A CHEEKY Good Morning" often
sends a ray of sunshine streaming
through the innermost recesseS of a
household, resting there all the live

footsteps into the mart of business,
lighting up and Frightening the way
of the world as it goes. A hearty
Good night often soothes many a
trouble mind to rest, and heals The
wounds which have either came anew
to a struggling soul, or been e-op
ed by the harsh words or deeds that
are spoken or done in season or
out of season. as the daily battle of
our life progresses.
Good morning. with a heartfnll
