have never been one OF the enthusias-
tic individuals who believes that giving
women the right to vote will solve all
the problems that confront us, but !
do believe that it will help some.
1t has been urged by the opponents
Of equal suffrage that in Colorado,
where women have the full right OF
suffrage, there seems TO be about as
much corruption in public life as in
the states where women do not have
the right TO vote, which is true, but
admitting the fact it is not valid ar.
gument against woman suiIiage.
When there has been a moral issue
in Colorado the best information can
obtain is to the effect that greater
proportion OF the women vote on the
right side than of the men. so that as q
whole Colorado has been helped 10y
granting the women the right to vote
The common argument that ma.
iority of the women do not want tC

ticular force, for the reason that suf-
frage is an individual and not col.
lective right II my male neighboi
does not choose tc ,Sercise his right OF
suffrage, that is no reason why /, who
do want to exercise il, should be de-
prived OF the right. The experience
Of Colorado, however, shows that there
is not so much in the claim as has been
generally supposed About AS large q
proportion of the women vote there as
men.
So long as women are subjected to
the same penalties as men il they
violate the laws, so long as they
are called on to pay the same taxes on
their property as the men, there can
be no valid reason for refusing them
the rame right as men to say how taxes
shall be levied and how laws shall be

tion as California hope that Kansas

"Did County Officers Turn
Criminal Loose?" Bosh =!

In an article under the caption, ~ Did
County Officers Turn Criminal Loose"
and which consumed nearly all the
front page of the LaKemp Mirror, OF
the 18th Inst, Editor Ogilvie seems TO
be unduly exercised and let his pre-
judce and partisan politics get the best
OF his better Judgment The article is
too long TO reproduce and not worth
the space it would consume for il is
misleading, malicious and not founded
upon facts.
In his lengthy discourse Editor Ogil-
vie states that one Tom Conger, charg-
ed with carrying concealed weapon
going upon the premises Of one Fred
Wilkerson and pointing the weapon At
Mr.. Wilkerson and members Of his fam
lily In a dangerous and threatening
manner, had been brought before the
said editor, who is Justice Of the Peace
OF that township, but asked TO be taken
to Beaver for trial and permission was
granted The Mirror goes on to say
that Constable A. =. Brown, who had
Conger in charge brought his prisoner
10 Beaver and tried to turn him over
to the officials here but that they re-
fused to accept him. That the county
officials left the scene and that Consta-
BILE Brown stepped into store to get
a cigar, leaving his prisoner outside,
and when he returned his man was
gone. and no effort was made to re-
capture him.
The Mirror then goes on to eyerlast-
ingly lambast the sheriff, under sheriff
and county attorney for turning II
criminal loose" when he has just ad-
mitted that the prisoner was still in
Constable Browns charge and "the
officials had left the scene" The truth
of the matter is, the Mirror has the
facts badly mixed and while it is re-
grettable that Conger escaped, for he
is evidently bad man, yet no blame
can possibly attach to Sheriff Peckhsm,
Under Sheriff Tickle or County Attor-
ney Spohn The whole blame lies with
Constable Brown. He had the prisoner
in charge and it was his business to
hold him. Even II Sheriff Peckham
had refused to lock him up, but this he
did not do. it gave Constable Brown
no grounds for leaving his prisoner un-
guarded while he went inside a store
to buy a cigar.
The article is rank injustice to the
officials in question and is resented by
every fair minded citizen. 1t would
be fartherest from the thought OF
either OF these men to willfully turn a
criminal loose and we think their re-
cord in Office will bear out that state.
ment.
We have obtained a statement o
facts from the county attorney. sheriff
and under sheriff which is given here
with and which we think explains theil
position in this matter and vindicatei
them OF the charge unjustly and mali
ciously made by the LaKemp Mirror
