I'M. D. THATCHER IS DEAD.
coLoRApo's RICHEST CITIZEN
PASSES AWAY AT PUEBLO.
His Wife, Son and Three Daughters
at Bedside-Was Identified With
Almost Every Line Of Business.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
Pueblo, Colonization d. Thatcher.
generally considered to be the rich
est man in Colorado, and since pioneer
days central figure in the indus
trial and financial growth of the
Rocky Mountain region, died at his
home here today. His wife, son and
three daughters were at the bedside.
Mr.. Thatcher. who was 76 years
old, had been i'll six weeks, and dur
ing the last few days his death had
been expected at any time. Earlier
in the morning it was announced
from his home that, although he had
regained consciousness he was too
weak to give any sign that he rec
ognized his son, who is expected to
carry on the enormous financial at
fairs founded by Mr.. Thatcher and
his brother the late John A. Thatcher.
His illness began with nervous
breakdown. which soon developed into
uraemic poisoning. AS the illness
continued, general weakening Of all
bodily organs except the heart and
lungs developed, but due to the tre-
mendous power of these, hope was
held out that he would recover until
few days ago. The remarkable vital.
ity of the man whose business acu-
men was a foundation OF much Of the
prosperity of the entire West, from
Chicago to the coast, kept him alive.
Mr.. Thatcher owned nineteen banks
and many other large properties. His
interests were almost Lnbelievably
wide. His capital is thought to have
furnished financial bulwarks to more
than a hundred establishments.
Mr.. Thatcher came to Colorado in
1865, without money or influence. and
by combination of pluck. energy and
rare ability. erected a financial struc-
ture throughout several states. Esti
mates on his wealth range from $10,.
100000 to $30.0OO.OO0, with 10000
probably close to actual aggregate.
The foundation of his wealth, which
is widely diversified. was laid in the
conservatism which the banker main.
tanned in business affairs. Though
his capital backed scores of successful
enterprises, his investments were
never speculative.

HOW WOMEN Of
WEST VIRGINIA
STAND IN LAW
They Have No Vote And
Their Property Rights
Determined

II is often said by opponents OF
women's suffrage that women do not
need the vote in order to protect their
interests before the law. In support
OF this view IL is contended that they
are already specially privileged uIder
the laws OF Nest Virginia That this
is untrue Is known to all who have
gwen even superficial study OF con-
ditions. Sex determinations in the
laws OF this state are so frequent that
the only difficulty in meeting this OBJ
lection is in picking out the most glar-
ing Instances.
There are three ways in which IL is
admitted that the law strikes hard at
voteless women. a woman's property
Is taken for public purposes precisely
the same as is a mans. vet the WON
an has no vote in Determining whether
the public necessity existed for the
taking OF the property.
The woman is held precisely TO the
same measure OF responsibility for the
violation OF contract as is the man.
yet she has no vote in determining the
conditions which make a contract en-
forceable or void and OF no effect.
Property Rights.
The woman has no vote in determin-
Ing the machinery OF the law by which
her property rights or her personal
rights are determined
No concessions. such as the right to
make contracts. and own property, and
conduct business. can make up 10
women the loss they have sustained in
deprivlng them of these great funda-
mental rights. Indeed. the right to
make contracts. to own property, and
To conduct business. which the oppo-
nents of equal suffrage point TO with
such pride in our married women's
acts, carry with them as necessary
conclusion that women must also have
the suffrage. You can deny that a
woman has any identity. separate from
her husband. as the common law does.
You can sustain this position by force
II not by arguments. but YOU cannot
ADMIT that the woman as person has
the rights TO make contracts, own
property, and conduct business, and
then exclude her from the right 10
determine how that business should be
conducted. how the contracts should
be made. and how the property may
be disposed of.
The law exacts from women the
same penalty as from men for the
commission OF a crime. vet the woman
has no vote in determining what con.
stitutes crime or what excuses or nit
igates IL.

After twenty-five years OF expert

Whereas, The question OF woman
suffrage has become an important
issue in many states OF the union. and
Whereas. Woman suffrage was made
part of the organic law OF the state
OF Colorado more than twenty-five
years. ago. and
Whereas, The operation and effect
OF woman suffrage in this state is be-

Therefore. We deem II to be our
duty TO say that experience has dem

only a just recognition OF the rights
OF all before the law. but has proven
In all respects materially helpful to
good government among the people.
and to a noticeable degree has incul-
