Suffrage in Colorado.

Editor Of The Virgnian:
Sir,-Women have been voting in Colorado for
twenty years Equal suffrage is no longer an
experiment. and those who sincerely believe
that women have much to lose and nothing Ia
gain by voting, will doubtless be Interested in
the following account, sent by the Equal
Suffrage League of Virginia, of beneficial legis-
lattnn affecting women and children which has
been enacted in Colorado, and which could not
have been accomplished without the women
votes:
The labor law Of Colorado is of peculiar
excellence, especially for a State having not
nearly SO big labor problem Eastern States
Some Of its important provisions are the eight
hour law for children under sixteen; the prohi-

or women labor laws); the provision that vio-

Colorado's most respectable citizens, the owner,

law establishing free employment bureau. and

During the discussion one lawyer declared
that circumstances arose in every lawyers prac.

THE PREACHERS OF PETERSBURG.

Apparently the ministers Of Petersburg are not
of the old type Of men who believed that it ia
the duty and the sole duty Of preachers to preach
the gospel meaning by preaching the gospel that
nothing must be. said in the nature OF glitter
ing generantes and nothing that may come home
to any individual should be allowed to leave
their lips. Moreover, they seem possessed of the
idea that a minister Of the gospel is more than
q mere preacher of pautudes and world-old
ideas Apparently they do not subscribe to the
doctrine that the Bible is a thing apart having
no reference to the affairs Of this world. and a
book Of pleasing verse beautiful essays, pro-
verbs and lessons" to be learned but not ap.

The preachers of Petersburg have actually
dared to take part in a public movement They
have actually come out to fight for the passage Of
a law. They have spoken publicly on another
eroatrum than that Of the church edifice and for
something other than the observance Of the Ten
Commandments They have come out publicly

The War of Feathers.

There Is trouble ahead for the customs au-

pier all the feathers worn on the hats Of wome n
passengers returning from abroad.
Congress may pass laws, but il is the divine
right Of women to decorate their headgear
with all sorts of fantastic adornments Paris
has more to say in the matter than Washington.
No man in blue uniform Is privileged to dispute
the edict of the French capital
1t Is we'll enough to argue that the wearing
of the plumage of the bird Of paradise and of
aigrettes and of all feathers other than those
taken from domestic fowls should he prohibited,
congress has done, for the protection of
bird-life and to prevent the determination of

considerations to do with woman who has

ChIna's Observation-Disclosures.

Yuan Shi kars ability to maintain himself as

Sen yielded him the ease with which he
subbued the attempted rebellion of the southern
provinces and with which he had himself elected
to the presidency for fve-year term is a
siderable guarantee that he will be able to
maintain satisfactory conditions in the huge
republic during his tenure of office. But that
there will be great progress in democracy in
that time is to be doubted. Yuan is leader

Ritual Murder Trial.

page from medieval credulity is revived in
the ritual murder trial In progress at Kief. A
man of particular importance has been
kept in prison since 1911 under charge of
having acted with others in causing the death
by torture of young boy, whose body was
found covered with wounds The charge of
ritual murder placed against Bells. and
finally the Car, that mysticaly- minded autocrat,
was induced to place the highest judicial ma
chnery in action to bring the murder home
to the accused. Thus Bells is undergoing trial
for his life because of a theory without foun-
dation in fact and without evidence for its sup
port in the particular case. except the evidence
of Jew baiters and other irresponsibles.
The boy seems to have been killed by a
gang of robbers and thugs which he is said TO
have betrayed and of which his stepfather was
one. These disreputahes desiring to create a
crusade against the Jews seem to have hit upon
the plan of fixing this accusation.
Whether the man BELLS Is convicted not,
the members of the race. at whom the trial is
directed, will doubtless suffer a fresh outbreak
of persecution. This is the kind Of spirit mani
tested toward the Jews that caused the United
States to abrogate its treaty with Russia unless
its passport for Jewish American citizens shall
be recognized by the government of the CHAR

HORSON AND UNDERWOOD.

Congressman Richmond Pearson Hobson. of
Alabama, made serious mistake yesterday when
he assumed that the floor of the house was the
place for a stump speech In the interest of his
candidacy for the United States senate. The
country has had much Of "buncombe" in house
and senate and much of speaking for the people
back home" but 1t has not become accustomed
to IT, In fact the more of it the people hear
the less Of 1t they want
Congressman Hobson has right to aspire to
the senatorship and he has a right TO say about
Mr. Underwood anything he can prove. but the
place for II is on the stump In Alabama unless
he can demonstrate that Mr. Underwood is
unfit to represent Alabama or any other State
in the house The house is not the least bit
interested in what Mr. Hobson thinks of the
majority leaders, qualifications for the senate.

More Dividends

The total amount of dividends and interest
dishursed this month by big corporations is
calculated at about per cent more than the
sum distributed in October, 1912 The gain
in dividends Is little lower and in interest paid
little higher.
