or vicious tendency, and not more than
twenty persons, in answering any of
the questions relating to the effort of
equal suffrage on legislation, express
ed the opinion that 1T has been bad.
OF these nearly half thought that
stringent liquor laws, which they at
tributed TO the woman vote. are OBJ
jectionabie. Several Of the others
complained Of the injustice of the
1895 age OF consent law. Some other
persons considered the laws favored
by women too radical, and others
thought them to conservative.
1.-THE effect of equal suffrage upon
the women themselves, their outlook
upon life and their relationship to the
home is, in the opinion OF many, the
crux Of the problem. It's effect upon
party politics mas been slight. But the
reason is to be found primarily in the
character OF the present politica1 ma
chinery. To fully perform the duties
of an enfranchised citizen under the
existing system -'eQuires not only an
inflexible moral code. but the public
spirit. the self -immolation and the un-
selfish devotion Of a martyr.
Politics in Colorado Is at least as
corrupt as In other states. and the
woman OF ideals who goes into politi-
cal life for reform soon finds, not
merely that she is working in the n1ire.
but that she is persona non grata
with the habitual denizens of the mire
and with those persons who profit
by It's existence. Sometimes she be-
comes unuterally Disguised and ceases
her political activity; sometimes her
grit rouses antagonisn, and she is
more or less politely showed out by
experts 1T the business; and some
times she stays and is taught the
tricks Of the trade
As for the loss In womanly cnar-
acteristic sometimes alleged to have

evidence to show that voting affects

Madison. Wis, Dec. blow wo-
mans suffrage has worked in Colorado
Is discussed impartially in report of
some ESQ pages giving the result of
two years investigation carried on by
Helen L. Sumner who received the de-
gree of doctor OF philosophy from tide
University OF wisconsin In 1908. DIR.
Sumner has made most thorough
and elaborate study of the subject by
means OF hundreds of question blanks
sent out to men and women through
out Colorado; from newspaper files;
from registration records; as well as
state, county and city records.
DIR. Sumner is deep student of
economic questions, especially of those
connected with American industrial
history. After graduating from Well
lesley In 1898, she came to the Univer-
sity OF Wisconsin, where she held an
honorary Fellowship in political econ
omy from 1904 to 1905. In that de-
pertinent she served as instructor In
1907 0S, receiving her degree of doctor
OF philosophy. the highest conferred
by that university upon Its students.

1T is safe to say that the most con-
spicuous effect OF equal suffrage has
been upon legislation" Miss Sumner
says, land, though 1t is impossible to
prove beyond a doubt that the wo-
mans club movement alone would not
have brought about the passage of the
same laws, 1T seems probable that the
votes OF women have effected the de-
sired end with less effort and In less

RetalIers Favor Prohibitlon.

Retailers are almost unanimously in
favor OF prohibition. Eugene de Lend
recie, one OF the proprietors of the
largest department stores in the state,
declared that when the saloons went
out he could not notice the difference
in business. Women were openly
pleased with the new state of affairs
and they had more money to spend in
the stores. Collections were better
Immediately. He was opposed to pro-
hibition at first but was now in favor
of it. Fargo was very clean city
without saloons and a child could go
anywhere on the streets without
danger.
e A. Perry, grocer, said that he had
been in favor of high license, but to
be frank he would not change prohibi-
ton for 1t now. People spent more
money for the necessities of life when
there was no saloons In operation. In
general the absence of saloons was a
good thing for the retail business. He
was In business before the saloons
went out and had noticed the. change
under prohibition, and there had been
an improvement. If Moorhead was

Hotel Proprietor Talks.
Mayor Elliott, proprietor OF the FL
lott hotel, believes that prohibition is
undoubtedly productive OF more law
and order. Fargo had become a nice,
clean, business city with the saloons
closed. There was not an empty store
to be had. If the matter went to q
vote again there would be a strong
verdict In favor OF prohibition. There
was much less lawlessness and drunk
enness than when the saloons were In
operation Prohibition had not hurt
business In the slightest degree. He
was not a prohibitionist but would
not want TO so back to the open sa-
loon.
II. l.. LOOMS, secretary treasurer OF
the Northwestern Mutual Savings and
Loan association, regards prohibition
as beneficial in his line of business
which Is loaning money for home
building to be paid back on the install
ment plan. Payments of loans were
very promptly made There was no
doubt that more loans were made and
payments were prompter than lie the
saloons were open. Fargo was
cleaner city without saloons. Most of
the business men were quite satisfied
with the present state of affairs. A
feature of prohibition had been that
it cleared the streets of loafers.

National bank, and congressman at
large for North Dakota, said: "Pro-
hibition has proved very satisfactory

abolition of saloons has a tendency to

8. s. Lyon, cashier of the Merchants
National bank, claims that prohibition
has been beneficial to business. When
it came into effect many business men
were against 1t but now the were
all in favor of it. The alb
sence of saloons had undoubtedly In
creased the deposits at the banks.
Merchants were satisfied with a dry

ously. Fargo was much cleaner with |

TOOK EVERYTHING IN SIGHT.
VILLA Sneed, a Negro Domestic, Robs
j. F. Haskelrs Home.

Villa Sneed, a colored girl who
lives on Railroad street, North To-
peka, is in the county Jail as a result
of her desire to outdress high society.
She was formerly employed as do
mestic by Mrs. J. F. Haskell of. Fifth
and Lincoln streets. 1t was remark
ed by her employer that while she was
a good cook, she was good dresser
for one who received 81 per week, but
it was later that she moved out with a
trunk load of Mrs. HaskelPs clothing.
When the dusky biscuit-builder took
service with the Haskell family, her
baggage consisted of a hand satchel.
But it was not long before she pur-
chased a Saratoga of grand dimen-
sions. and then she became too strong
to work. When the drayman came
after her trunk, Mrs. Haskell observed
that the handling of the baggage was
a strong mans job, and hastily search
ed the house. She observed further
that Villa had beaten her to the
search by several hours.
A warrant was issued for the color
ed girl, and a search warrant for her
home in North Topeka. At the house
Marshal Donovan found a majority of
the stolen goods, consisting of Sun
day. garments, trinketS and the like.
Villa was away from home at the
time. but was arrested later Saturday
evening. Some bracelets which disap-
reared at the same time are still miss
ing. and were found neither on the
person of Villa nor in the depths OF
her trunk.

came home, found the door locked
and his household fixtures on the out
side. He promptly kicked down the
door and broke into the room. For
this Willitts had him arrested for de-
struction of property, but Judge
Simons discharged him. At the time
Snyder threatened suit against Will
lifts, and Saturday afternoon made
good his threat by fling a suit for
S714O, alleged damages resulting from
false arrest. Another suit for $4,000
damages was filed at the same time
by Mrs. Snyder, who feels that she

out of the room. She claims that she
was sick at the time and that the rude
dispossession injured her health.

Beloit, April 26.-District court of

concluded it's labors and adjourned.
The prohibition lid is on so tight in
Mitchell county that jointists and
boot1eggers have little chance to escape
the clutches of the law. In all there
were three cases of this sort two for
violation of the prohfbitory law, and
the other for keeping a club room.
Each of the violators was fined rang
ing from 500 to $500 and costs. be-
sides ninety days in Jail for good
measure.
For the first time in several years
the Mitchell county court docket has
been clear of criminal cases. Judge
r. M. Picker is popular with the
mass of the people. while the law
violators are afraid of him. The
same is true of Sheriff Forrest Giants,

state, who was elected to enforce the
laws, and he is seeing to it.
