eral wisdom or general public virtue.
We give the ballot to every boy when
he becomes 81 years old, not because
he can prove that he will lift the
general level of intelligent voting
but because the ballot developes him
into a citizen. We have confidence
that the boys coming of age and TAX
| ing their places of responsibility will
prove equal to the problems of their
day, and no matter how many or
them may fail individually, collect
| lively they have never disappointed.
The intelligent parent does not
place business responsibility upon his
sons on the theory that they will do
better than he would do himself, but
on the theory that assuming RESPONSE
bility is part of their training for life,
without which they would not
only fail in their undertaking, but
| fail to realize their real position in
the world, fail of their highest de-
lvelopement. The only true question
| is whether the responsibility he
places upon them is such responsible
| Hy as they might reasonably be ex-
pected to assume.
Woman has come into by far too
large share of the worlds work and
worlds responsibility in the past
two generations for anybody to dis
pute now that the welfare of society
| is her problem. The responsibility
of the ballot is not a responsibility
unsuited to either her intelligence or
interest. She is just as vitality con-
cerned in what government can do as
man, and she is fully alive to what
makes for right living and right COM
munity environment.
The tendency is to lose sight of the
large relations of the subject and be-
come sidetracked on inquiries as
to what happened here or there
where woman have voted, and to
dwell on romantic pictures of what
will happen when suffrage is uni
versal. 1t is not so much what wom-
an will do with the ballot as what
the ballot will do for woman. 1t is
not so much how this city or that
city has been governed, as what we
may look for when human society is
built on absolute freedom and equal
ity for men and women. Equal
rights for men was never proved in
advance, and every enlargement of
the suffrage has been attended with
grave forebodings on the part of able
and honest leaders. But the event
has always shown that we respond to
the larger responsibility. Human
progress can be marked by the stages
by which we have come to larger
liberty.
For ages the sex line was main
tanned in education. 1t is almost in
our own time that it was conceded
that brains is not matter OF
sex. A learned council of the church
once declared that women have no
souls. We have long since discovered
that the ark of the spiritual covenant
is largely in her keeping. Little by
little hundred of the absurd sex
limitations of a barberous age have
been abandoned. Women have equal
property rights, equal rights in their
children, equal rights to employment
There is with us but one marked di-
vision of citizenship. 1t is an illogical
division, and it is bound to gO.-Reg-
lister and Leader.

THE SQUIRREL SEEN AS PEST
Frisky Rodent is Losing Love and
Admiration in the City-He Looks
Fine Well Drowned


An exchange handles the squirrel
question in good style, and the tenor
of the remarks will have the o. X. of
many Audubonites. The squirrel is
not having such an easy time of it
here and he is falling frequently be-
fore the rifle of the citizen who
shoots with anger when he sees the
thief constantly in his fruit trees
nipping the buds, and then eats with
leisure and repentance when the squir-
rel is cooked to the right shade OF
brown. The Exchange says:
Everybody likes to see a squirrel
and watch his antics as he scampers
around over the ground or in the
tree tops. 1t is especially interesting
If one is not familiar with his ways.
A number of citizens are on speaking
acquaintance with the little critter,
and, to them, he has lost all his cute
ness. He is pest in many ways and
in some ways is a most destructive
pest.
"A number of people have COM
planned of his depredations in many
ways, but DR.. Evans recently offered
one that was entirely new. In his
opinion the squirrel has more to do
with the disappearance of song birds
than all the bird-killing, and nest
robbing boys put together. The doc
tor says that he has noticed this for
a number of years. Where there used
to be large number of song birds
and birds of bright plumage, there
are now very few. He attributes
their loss to his squirrelship. Not
that the squirrel kills the birds, but
because he destroys their nests and
thus drives them away to places where
they will be unmolested.
This sounds logical, and will bear
looking into. If it is found to be
the case, Mr.. Squirrel should be
Standardization back to the place
whence he came and not permitted to
interfere with the birds.
This thought is not mere senti-
ment; it is based on facts. The
squirrel is nothing more than an
ornament, while the bird, as has fire.
quently been demonstrated of late,
is very beneficial in destroying in
sects that attack trees and plants.
"Do little observing on your own
hook, and If you find the doctors
statement is correct. go after the
squirrel There should be a bounty
instead of penalty for the killing of
squirrels"

THE STORY OF WOMAN
SUFFRAGE IN COLORADO
John Brisben Walker i'm New York
American


American
l have had an opportunity to see
the working OF woman suffrage at
close range in Colorado. / can say
that if ever a commonwealth had
reason to rejoice, it is Colorado that
she has woman suffrage.
Here is the situation: Man suff-
rage had enslaved Colorado through
the operations of certain powerful
interests combined for private gain.
They had gained such complete con-
troll of the offices and of the election
machinery that the situation seemed
hopeless.
Woman suffrage was allowed by
this combination to slip through, be-
cause they believed the fool story
that only the women of the red light
district would cast their votes, and
the red light vote and it's repeaters
were part of their political machinery.
But from the hour that women's
votes began to be cast, conditions
changed for the better. Public utitil-
ity corporations could threaten and
scare their employees into voting foi
their evil purposes, but they could
not intimidate the wives and daugh-
tiers.
One law after another lettering
conditions was put upon the statute
books. Finally came the initiative,
referendum and recall, which took
government out of the hands of as
absolute a set of bosses as ever con-
trolled state, and restored power
to the peoples votes.
Corrupt judges awoke to the men
ace of their situation. The combina-
ton of selfish interests against the
people had been extraordinarily
strong.
Every corporation bribing the state
and city governments for unjust priv
iliges had combined with all that
was vicious within the common
wealth.
The gamblers. the red light voters,
and the repeaters were all part oftheir
machinery, They kept mayor in Off
ce for long years by the most high
handed violations of law
But finally, one stormy day, ten
thousand women assembled in the
state capitol grounds and under the
falling snow vowed to GUST the cor
rupt city administration and estab-
lish a commission form of govern
ment
AND THEY DID 1T.
1t is the women who have brought

PIONEERS REMEMBERED

May First was the 61st anniver-
sary of the wedding day of Lucy
Stone and Henry b. Blackwell The
Political Equity Association of Cam
bridge, Mass, sent Miss Blackwell a
beautiful May Basket adorned with
ferns and yellow daisies, and filled
with subscriptions to The Woman's
Journal. 1t was accompanied by a
letter recalling the fact that the day
was the wedding anniversary of
those two pioneers. and adding: 1--WE
repeat our gratitude to them for
their three Incompatible contribu-
tons to the cause of womans suff-
rage-first, their daughter; second,
The Woman's Journal; third, their
example of devotion and sacrifice for
the ideals of democracy, which they
saw so clearly when the eyes of the
rest of the world were blind TO them. 4"
1t always gives the editor of the
Woman's Journal particular pleasure
to have the work of her parents held
in grateful remembrance. They SOW
ed the seed; now we are all reaping
the harvest. A. S. b.

to Mr.. Rockefeller the knowledge
that the power of his extensive inter-
ests in Colorado was being used to
cover the evil deeds of as ruthless a
gang as ever attempted to ruin
state.
Today Colorado embraces as
whole more well-governed little cities
and towns than are to be found in
any other state. Its public schools
are of the highest type. It's people
are intelligent and anxious for what
is right
And by the aid of woman suffrage
the powerful combinations of unjust
privileges, with all their evil hangers
on, are being slowly but steadily push
ed into the background.
No wonder that every combination
of wrong is today opposing woman
suffrage for New York. They have
been taught to fear woman suffrage
by the results in Colorado, and in
those of the western states where a
higher civilization is steadily making
its way under the benign influence OF
women's votes.
One word more: Suffrage in Colo
RADIO has exercised an elevating and
ennobling effect upon womanhood.
The women of today study govern
mental problems. They are better in
formed and have better ideals of gov
eminent than any like number of men
to be found in New York state.
Woman suffrage, which after all is
but the granting of a just right, has
blessed alike those upon whom II was
bestowed and the communities by
which IL was bestowed
Stupidity, prejudice, ignorance and
the combination of all the vicious
elements may possibly defeat it in
New York and New Jersey, but it is
so eminently just and right that it
will only be little while until it shall
prevail in all the states of the union.
Indeed, it will only be a little
while until our children will be won
dering as they read the history of this
movement, that any man of intelli-
gence or real manhood could have
dreamed of withholding this right
from his mother, wife, siser or
daughter.

ENGINEERS TO HEAR KICKS
ABOUT STREET CAR SERVICE

Chicago's new board of transporta-
ton engineers will get another "ear--
full" of what the public thinks of sub
ways at another public meeting held
this afternoon in committee rooms
of the council.
Yesterday representatives of the
Cook County Real Estate Board told
the engineers that, in their opinion,
subways should be the last remedy
considered by the commission and
that the 55 per cent of street car COM
pany's profits which came to the city
was bad business as it put premium
on rotten service.
Bion j. Arnold, for cars the $1S,-
900 neutral member of the board
of supervising engineers, which has
let the traction company pretty near
ly do as they pleased, heartily agreed
with this.
VIM. BParsons and Robert Ridg-
way of New York are the other mem
bers of the commission.
