That Purifying Influence.
Editor of The Remonstrance:

Editor of The Remonstrance:
In a recent number of The Re-
monstrance, Mrs. Horton Pope, a
leading suffragist of Denver, is
quoted as saying: whether wo-
man will purify politics, uplift man,
or stand for higher moral tone is
entirely beside the question"
1t may, however, be difficult, with
this very effective plea stricken
from the list of arguments, to con-
vince the American electorate that
so great and radical a change as
suffrage is at all necessary in or
der to secure rights to woman. Mrs.
Pope, in lightly putting aside those
services on which woman's impor-
lance as an individual so largely de-
ponds, seems scarcely to realize in
what the true value of woman's in
fluence consists, and adds one more
testimony, if such were needed, to
show how greatly the sense of re-
sponsibility toward the race has de-
clined with the growth of "individu-
alism."
In the beginning, suffragists
claimed that a short cut to the
elevation and publication of society
had been found in the ballot. Now,
since time has proved this promise
false, they disclaim any respon-
sibility whatever for social evils,
and frankly say they have no re-
form in view. But If women de-
cline to perform their paramount
and most valuable services to the
race and through the race to the
State in using their moral influ-
ence on child and man, on what
equally strong plea can they rest
their claim? The women who &C
cept all their responsibility as wo-
men are those whose entry into
public life, in their maturer years
at least, might have been of hope
full augury.
But the suffragists themselves
kick over the ladder on which they
have thus far mounted. 'It is all
beside the question" eXclaims Mrs.
Pope, even at the moment that suf-
fragists are explaining their defeat
in Ohio by saying they were beaten
by the organized forces of evil. To
abandon this line of argument in
Colorado, however, is perhaps neces-
sary. The facts are too conspicu-
ously contrary to support it.
Little by little we are arriving
at the gist of the question and re-
ducing the suffrage arguments to:
Il have NO other but woman's rea-
son-I think it so-because 1 think
it SOL
Last winter Mrs. Ida Hustled
Harper said that no intelligent suf-
fragist now used the Taxation
without representation" argument,
knowing the fallacy on which it is
based. Mrs. Horton Pope and 9TH
er Denver suffragists now further
agree to abandon the Purifying in
fluence" plea, which is quite inef-
fective after twenty years of suf-
frage. The next argument to be
douted will be that wages are rails
ed by the ballot, and these three
utterly mistaken obsessions are the
sole substance of the suffrage agi-
tation. When they go, what re-
mains but the parrot cry, "Votes
for Women?" Juste Milieu.

Old Age.

Old age as it comes in the order
ly process of nature is a beautiful
and majestic thing. 1t stands for
experience, knowledge, wisdom ,coun-
sell That is old age as it should
be, but old age as it often is means
poor digestion, torpid bowels,a slug
gish liver and a general feeling Of
i'll health, dependency and misery.
This in almost veery instance is
wholly unnecessary. One of Cham
berlain's Tablets taken Immediately
after supper will improve the di-
gestion, tone up the liver and regu-
late the bowels. That feeling Of
dependency will give way to one
of hope and good cheer. For sale
by all dealers.-Adv.

Temperance and Suffrage.

DR.. Clarence True Wilson, the
temperance speaker whom state
ment quoted in the last number of
The Remonstrance, declared that
no State had adopted woman's suf-
frage without setting back the tenn
perance cause for twenty-five years,
has been vehemently attacked by
the Woman's Journal and by suf-
frage speakers. Yet the fact that
none of the suffrage States have
voted for prohibition, and that Colo
RADIO has just rejected it,goes far to
prove his statement.-The Remon-

And that's the trouble with Mrs

There are so many things to be

HAVE ALMOST HUMAN BRAIN
Be Developed to q Marked
Degree.

The elephant looks stupid enough.
but his intelligence is developed to q
marked degree. Dr. Romanes tells
several interesting stories of these an
imals. A man was one day feeding
a tame elephant with potatoes which
the elephant took from his hand A
small round potato fell on the ground
just out of reach.
After several unsuccessful attempts
to get it the animal blew so strong a
blast of breath against it that it was
dashed against a wall, from which it
rebounded so far that he easily reach
ed it. 1t is said that an elephant will
often blow just beyond small objects
out of reach so that the reflected cur
rent Of air viii drive them toward
him.
DR.. Romanes repeats the story of
an elephant that was chained to tree
near a little oven in which his driver
had just baked some rice cakes. When
the driver went away, leaving his
cakes to cool, the elephant unfastened
the chain from his leg. uncovered the
oven, opened it, ate the cakes, and
covered the oven with earth and
stones as he had found it. He then
returned to his place, and wound the
chain about his leg as it was before,
although he could not fasten it. The
driver, on his return, found the ele-
plant with his back toward the oven.
and looking innocent. but the cakes
had completely disappeared.-You

The Cucumber
BY GEORGE FITCH.
Author OF AT Good Old SIyyash.o

" HE cucumber is a small, virulent
vegetable which is at this time
= preparing to enter the midst OF
the American people and produce a con-
ditiOn of national unrest.
The cucumber is produced by the
cucumber vine which holds the Marathon
record among the vegetables. The Gu
cumber vine begins as two small oval
leaves and remains quiet for a week
after coming up. Then it begins to run.
Nothing IS more impressive than to
watch a determined cucumber vine max
ing d dash for the nearest fence while its
worried owner Is trying to herd it back
into the garden. Life Is not worth living
to the cucumber vine except on the other
side of some fence. 1t is passionately
fond of travel.
After the cucumber vine has run until
its pursuers are out OF breath it pro-
duces large yellow flowers, which in turn
produce cucumbers. The cucumber is no
larger than a peanut to begin with and
if taken at this age and dealt with
firmly is not harmless. But it grows
rapidly until it becomes as large as an
obese banana and as green and hard as
an infant watermelon. In this stage it
is sliced up by daring people and is eaten
with vinegar and salt.

Mortality
By Walt Mason

The tomb is waiting for us all, for
every Jill and Jack, the baron in his
stately hall, the pauper in his shack, the
aUtocratic and the grand, the beautiful,
the brave; such thoughts come to me
when I stand by Mrs. Pinkham's grave.
A few short years-or maybe days, of
earthly Gains and storms, and then the
village COWS viii Craze above our sleep
ing forms. A few short days-or maybe
hours, in which man frets and fumes 4;
the mourners then will strew their
flowers upon our misfiit tombs a little
while of grief or glee, to frolic and to
slave; a little trip upon the sea whose
harbor is the grave. So what's the use
of buckIing down with fiery, frenzied
zeal, to corner all the coin in town, to
nail each PUNK and wheel? What shall
it profit us to heap our Golfers full of
gold? It won't be with us when we
sleep down in the churchyard mold.
What shall it profit to deny the poor's
appeal for aid? Go ask that man of
wintrv eye-the sexton with his spade.
So while this earth we still infest, let's
revel in good deeds; let's think less of
the treasure chest, and more of human
needs; and when at last, of honors full,
we've laid us down and died, the world
will say: "They were all wool, and forty
inches wide"

WE'LL NEAR ARTESIA
MAKES COW DRUNK
Subterreanean Lake of GBOOze'' Is Be
Heved by the People to Have Been
Tapped at Oriental.

Artesia, N NJ, July 2S.-The Peeos
valley now has the distinction of hav-
ing a booze WE'LL a real well sunk
in the earth. which intoxicates quickly.
Here is the story and the proof there
of. as given by E. S Wallace, secre-
tary of the oriental Plaster and Ce-
ment company
This well was drilled by this COM
pany to increase the water supply at
the plant, six miles south of Lakewood
fair supply was procured and all
went well and the company was
pleased No unusual qualities were de-
tached in the water until quite a while
after the wells completion. One day
the milk COW of one Of the families liv-
ing on the company's grounds wan
dered up to the well and Quenched her
thirst with the liquid Within a few
minutes the cows antics were such as
10 attract attention an any wen regu-
lated prohibition community The COW
was pronounced intoxicated and the
wOrkmen managed to get her home to
the family corral
The next day the COW, after becom-
ing duly sober. took another drink. and
the drunk came again Mr.. Wallace
sent some of the water away to chem
lists for analysis and the result is be-
ing awaited with interest as the prOhi-
bltlOnlsts are planning to make the en-
tire country dry in the next few
months.
