Hit Sore Spot.

We sort of picked a sore spot in our little cravings" o the GU
bernatorial business brought to light by the Natrona County Tri
bune. We don't much blame the Tribune for feeling hurt-wed feel
hurt too if some ruff neck" editor would spoil the whole durn thing
when everything was 81 nicely planned. The Sun got slapped on the
wrist, 80 to speak, by the Tribune in its issue of the End, but we e-
pected that sort of slap, from a mar whose knowledge of the party
and state would prompt him to undertake 8 o arduous a job as picking
a suitable candidate for governor. We would like to have heard alt
the cussng that took place behind closed doors after the Sun printed
its comments. We ART pleased to know that it met with appreciation
from many prominent Republicans and W e would like to be quoted
as thanking the Tribune in making it possible for the Sun to get the
advertising out of it that we did, as we are a firm believer in adver-
Using and a n o one else got much, we feel that the honor is ours
from point of publicity. Anyway somebody ought to feel good over
something.

Shovel!

Under recent date a dispatch from New York states that at an
all day session of the Bull Moose it was decided to call AGAIN pnop
the vanquished hero, Teddy, to lead that party in 1916, and we sup
pose the Denis will call upon that vanquished "Bil" Bryan to run

skeletons of has-beens 10 din the common people with. But say! We
don't fall for such rot. A bluff is Il good thing, but if the Bull
Moose ire again seeking to elect Wilson, let them do it, and if thew
are bluf6ng in order to make the q o T. give them a hearing in the

the Bull-Moosers want another term of Wilson bad enough to go the

WOMAN SUFFRAGE.

Women suffrage was beaten
by a large majority in New
York, Pennsylvania, Massachu-
sets and New Jersey at the re-
cent elections. This of course,
was to be expected, from the
extreme west to the extreme
east was to much of a lump at
once. However, equal suffrage
is gaining Roadway, and has
been gaining ever since the first
"Woman's Rights Convention
was organized by Elizabeth Ca
dy Stanton on July 10Th, 1848.
Thevoters will have to beeducat-
ed to know what women suf-
frage means. | have studied the
question from all view points,
read arguments for and against
it, and / reached the conclusion
that there is no argument that
can overcome the justice and
sound social sense Of woman's
demand for equal participation
with man in the affairs of the
government under which they
both live. 1t is just as absent
to argue that "a woman's place
is the home" as it would be to
argue that mans place is the
office. 70 attempt to confine
the human activities Of either
sex, to a paticular narrow
sphere is as contrary to the fun
damental laws of nature as it is
contrary to the slowly evalued
experience Of an enlightened
and progressive democracy. 1t
will not only be a justice to WOO
men, but it will also be a benefit
to man and to society as whole
+ for both woman and man to par
ticipate freely and equally in the
social and political rights and
duties of the commonwealth in
whose destiny their lives and
fortunes are equally involved.
We will never have any great
amount Of democracy or pro-
gressiveness until womanis given
the ballot and emancipated from
her social and sexual slavery.
In Kansas, the great fight again
equal suffrage was, that when
women voted the babies would
be neglected." but as soon as the
women Of Kansas were given
the ballot, the babies came to
the fun right away. More has
been done for the babies in Kan
sas in the three years they had
equal suffrage than in all the
fifty years that preceded it.
