MEMBER COLORADO Editorial ASSOCIATION
coLoRADo's PLIGHT

The lull in increase of population
in Colorado and other western states
for the past decade is due in great
measure to the United States govern
ment in their manner of handing
western questions. From the time
Clifford Pinchot began his method of
conservation the emigration to the
west has been gradually falling Off,
until today it has nearly ceased,
while Canada has largely increased
her population. The governments
policy of withdrawing millions of
acres of land in forest reserves, coal
lands, grazing lands and radium
lands from entry has stopped immi-
grafton and driven it to Canada and
unless the government pursues diff
ferent course toward the west, the
next census will show but a small
western increase in population.
With congress agitating the pass
age of a measure withdrawing our
radium lands from entry, with an un-
settled three year coal war, and
reactionary Denver daily press. pro
claiming to the world our shortcom
ings, truly Colorado is in a pitiable
plight and is it any wonder that oul
credit and bonds are depreciating;
1t is not the Observers policy to
knock, but we have arrived at thai
stage where we saw II is policy tC
knock the knocker.

Writes Suffrage Story
BY Nellie cra~.sx oiumore-

lacking. MY first book came out two
years ago, and at the time my contract
with my publishers gave them the
option, or first opportunity, on all
works Of fiction might write.
For years I have thought much on
the child labor question, and had given
much thought and s+-T|4-- 70 suffrage,
but 1t u as not until ! became actively
engaged in suffrage work TINT the in
spfration for the story came to me
The plot had been geInTtnattug5 in a
way for years, and one day while
thinking of Miss Jean Gordon and her
work along child labor lines, the story
suddenly crystalized
This was In April and IN two weeks
7 had finished twenty-eight chapters
Of the story Owing to my mothers
serious illness, the work was laid aside
for two months and then resumed
July seventeenth. It was finished and
sent 10 the publishers the first week
in August When you consider that
this is not short novel but a book Of
10000 words, you Will realize that the
story must have almost written itself
to have been finished in this time.
This averages, day IN and day out
1000 words, and besides this during
that time I attended to my dudes as
editor of the wOman's department Of
The Journal and as chairman Of the
Press Bureau Of the Pensacola Equal
Suffrage league, which were very
heavy at this time, owing to the pre-
nminsIy work on the special edition
of The journal, which we are publish
ing Monday under the auspices OF the
Press Bureau.
Il DO not think the story suffered
from this On the contrary, think It
has gone with a rush that II would
never have had. had It not been writ
ten at high pressure.
TT Is now In the hands OF Rand
McNaliy and Company. but the con-
tracts are not yet signed, This com
pany brought ont my first book, re-
taiinng all rights. But in this second
book I am anxious to sell them only
the book copyright retaining the mag
azine, dramatic and moving picture
rights But no decision has been
reached as yet as the publishers have
had the book 50 short a time.
The contract have with them binds
me only to give them the first oppor-
tunity on everything 1 write, In book
manuscript hope l shall be able to
place the book with them retaining at
least the dramatic rights, as am very
anxious to dramatic the story and

In the history Of the woman suffrage
movement in rbe United States there
has always been two clearly defined
opinions as to the best method OF
achieving results This dual opinion
showed itself early in the organization
Of the movement when the national
branch under the leadership Of Eliza
beth Cady Stanton and Susan r. An
rhony championed national amend
rnant 10 the constitution. while the
American association under the lead
ership of Lucy stone and Henry
Blackwell advocated working through

fore congress Miss Anthony maintain

termed today 4 lobby and put into eff

No doubt the national amendment

gives her name to the amendment sub

congresses "fOrhidding disfTarChtse-
ment on account Of sex was fnstiga4ed
by the agitation incident to the amend
