FAvoRs WOMAN sUFFRAGE.
Governor shafroth of Colorado s1akes
 AGdreaa.

New York. Dec. S.-That female suf- frage will become universal in this country was predicted tonight in D speech made in this city by Governor John F. Shafroth. of Colorado. Gov ernor Shafroth was the guest of the Equal Franchise League of this city. His speech was delivered at the Gar den Theatre and he was introduced by Mrs. Clarence MacKay.
 He contended that equal suffrage is right, expedient and practical. and putt ting to himself the question as to whether women want the ballot. he said:
 "The fact that no Colorado Legisla- ture has ever introduced a bill to re- submit the suffragette question to the people shows that there Is no demand for any change In the elective fran chise of that State."
 To show that the women do vote when they have the opportunity, Gov ernor Shafroth said that 2s,000 women out of 35.000 registered in Colorado iD 1908 had voted. while of 41.500 men. s6.- 600 had voted. the proportion being about the same.
 He undertook to refute the conten- tion that the exercise of the franchise would degrade women. saying in part:
 Does any man believe that he has been degraded by casting an honest vote? Why should we assume that it will degrade women and not men?"

 UNIVERSITY TRUSTEE.
Professors Unique Views on Marriage and Separation is Cause of
 Quarrel in Pennsya- vania's Donrd.

Philadelphia, Pa. Dec. 3---A mild sensation was sprung here today when announcement was made that Walter George Smith, prominent attorney. had resigned as a member of the board of trustees Of the University of Penn Bylxafta because of difference of opinion between himself and other members of the bnHr0 ossE the hp- poifitment of pr. L. F. Lfchtenberger as assistant professor because of the latter's yiews on divorce. Mir. Smith was prominent in the movement to make divorce laws uniform and was selected by Archbishop Ryan to speak for Philadelphia Catholics at the Cath ollie Congress at Chicago in 1898.
 In a publication of the American So- biological pr. Lichtenberger Is quoted as saying: Marriage. in the aspect we are discussing. Is the legal sanc- ton of the social custom of the fam fly. It fs dependent upon law neither for its institution nor for its perpet- uation. We need to get rid of the fear that the family will disintegrate unless held together by law. The fam- fly always will arise and disintegrate as the necessities of life require. with scant regard for our laws on the sub ject
 If these congratulations are approx imately correct then 1t is certainly clear that the actual compelling forces in the sphere of religion and ethics are not ecclesiastical enactment and reac- tionary clerical resolutions which rep resent the conservative influences in the church but those which resiEe in the nature of our modern social, inteIlec- tual and religious life."
 pr. Lichtenberger came to the Uni versity from the New York School of Philanthropy.
