Colorado Men Repudiate
Anti-Suffrage FalsehOOds


Becoming weary of aspersions cast
upon the fair name Of Colorado by
anti-suffragists anxious to prove The
failure of woman suffrage at any cost,
leading men Of Denver have issued
a statement in which they set forth
the truth with regard to the economic
condition Of the State and credit
woman suffrage with a big share in
conducting to Colovado's health and
prosperity. The statement is signed
BY eighteen of the leading bankers
Of Denver, headed by H. J. Alexander.

lawyers, clergymen. the superintend

OF high schools, other educators and

tiles, Ministerial Alliance and more
than forty altruistic societies Of

Among the representations
claimed as conclusively proved BY
the woman vote. the chief has
been that the western woman is

prediction for Dir. Wilson ia
spite Of 3Ir. Hughes S pronounced
commitment ia favor Of the Fed
sral suffrage amendment II is
IN regard 10 this aspect Of the
question that the testimony on file
at the national suffrage headquar-
lers is Of particular interest
This testimony comes from every
suffrage state IN the Cnion and from
i leaps the insistence that whichever
say they voted. the women were not
ID their own conviction, turning cold
shoulder upoh suffrage Some voted
Tor Hughes, some Tor Wilson. but IL
would seem that Ia casting up
chances. so far as the amendment
was concerned. the woman voter
showed a disposition to rest her faith
0n achievement rather than on
promise. Mr. Hughes had come out
for the suffrage amendment but he
was appraised as late comer-out
Mr. Wilson's earlier conversion TO
suffrage and attuai vote for suffrage
and actual grip ca his party weighed
heavily tn his favor There was also,
a conviction that Wilson could handle
a reluctant party better than !. could
be handled uhaar Republican ad-
ministration, itself not committed to
nationwide suffrage as party meas
ure.
A Kansas woman sums up the in
dications thus: Many of our women
voted for Wilson because be voted for
suffrage in New Jersey and because
II elected for a second term he could
DO more Tor suffrage than in the first
when his party had been SO opposed"
An Oregon woman declares that she
worked for the return Of President
Wilson as hard as she could and Il
never failed TO emphasize on every
occasion that President Wilson voted I

If the Federal amendment does not
pass during the next administration"
Women here" writes a Nevada
woman, 9are rejoicing over having
cast their first ballot and are more
anxious than ever that all women
should have the same right"
And a California woman who voted
for Hughes points out that it is a
signal fact that in only one state
could the womans vote be separately
counted, and in that state they voted
for the candidate who was outspoken-
" in favor Of thesFederal amendment
What an Idaho woman says about
the fear Of reactionary forces Is voiced
by not a few. "As many Republican
men as Republican women voted the
ticket this year for the
sole purpose OF getting rid OF the

cleansing"

In pointed analysis Of the woman
vote Miss Anna Louise Strong. one
Of the representative women OF the
Pacific coast known far and wide for
her vivid concern In advanced social
and Industrial programs, summarizes
considerations that weighed with the
western woman voter as follows.
The Democratic platform was
practically identical with the Repub-
hean. and the character OF the two
candidates differed only in that one
had been broaiened by four years
experience in tho White House. and
the other had passed those years in
the ultra-eonseryatiye atmosphere Of

rigation works the Reclamation Ser
vice announces the opening to entry

south Of the town of Frannie, extend
ing to Mantua and Deaver on the
south and southeast, and is served by
the main line of the Burlington from
Billings to Denver, and a branch line
from Frannie to. Lowell. Nearly one
fourth of the tract has been irrigated
by the government and is now in
crop ready to be harvested. The
soils vary from sandy loan to heavy
clay loan, and are similar in charac-
ter to those found on other parts of
the project which have been in profit
able cultivation for several years.
Climate and soil are adapted to grow
ing wheat, oats, corn alfalfa, sugar
beets, potatoes, and other hardy vege-
tables. In 1916 average gross re-
turns per acre from potatoes were
S154; other crops as follows:
Garden truck $95, small fruits
$85, sugar beets $73. beans $42. and
alfalfa $19. For all crops grown on
80 ,000sacres the average per acre was

The general elevation Of the irrig-
able lands is 1900 feet above sea
level. This region has an average
annual rainfall of less than 6 inches.
and temperature ranging from al
below to 101 above zero. The wfnt-
ers ere usually open and mild. and
the heat is seldom oppressive. The
irrigating season is usually from
April 20 to October 20, 1S0 DAYS.
Homeseekers should visit the pro-
ject before the date of opening in
order to inspect the farms and file
necessary papers. The project man
ager of the Reclamation Service at
Powell. Wyoming, where maps and
blanks and full information concern
ing the methods of making entry
nay be obtained.
The homeseeker must qualify as a
citizen of the United States, must
comply with the homestead require
ments. and must contract with the
government to repay in 20 years,
without dnterest, the construction
charge. This charge has been fixed
at s66 per acre. The first instalment
of the construction charge is per
cent, or $3.50 per acre, and is due
arc payable at the time of filing.
The second instalment of S per cent
is payable on December 81 of the 5th
calendar year after entry is made.
Annual instalments of per cent are
payable for the following S years,
after which 10 annual payments of
per cent must be made. No inter-
est is charged on deferred payments.
Nearly 500 farm families have
settled on the project since 1907.
They have come from all parts of
the country, and as rule are pro-
glessive, intelligent, and successful.

London, Sept. 1O-The first moon
light air raid over the London dis
trict occurred about midnight last
night and resulted in the dropping of
bombs, one of which fell just outside
hospital, another smashed through
theatre and still another hit retail
stores in which a number of girls
were sleeping.
Notwithstanding the moonlight,
nothing could be seen of the raiders,
although their engines could be heard
overhead. That they were invisible
perhaps~was due to slight haze,
which, however, was insufficient to
obscure the moon. The raiders were
constantly shelled by aircraft
guns. British machines took to the
air to attack the invaders.

now stand:
some changes were made in the
season on game fish, which are now
as follows: The trout season opens
on April 1st and closes on October
1t; croppies, pike, pickerel and
sunfish are protected during the
months of March and April, while
the closed season on bass is from
the first day Of March to the 3Oth
day of May. Pickerel were placed
in the game class, hence of course
they cannot be speared as heretofore
THE law placing closed season
on fur-bearing animals was amend
ed so that the season now opens on
the 1st day of December and closes
on. the LIST day of April. The law
also provides for SIS trapping Ii
cense for residents. providing that
land owners trapping on their own
land and boys under 18 years of age
shall not be required to secure such
license.
"a change in the seasons on game
birds seemed advisable and a law was
passed opening the season on praire
chicken and grouse on September
7th and closing it on October 9Th.
The season on waterfowl opens on
lSemptember 7th and closes on Decem-
ber goth. to conform with the fed
eral regulations for the protection
of migratory birds. The bag limit
was also changed so that the limit
on prairie chickens and grouse is
now five birds per day, fifteen in pos
session at one time. The daily linn
it on waterfowl is fifteen per day,
thirty-five in possession at one time.
The law regulating the transpor-
tation of game birds by non-residents
was also changed. Every non-resi-
dent license have five coupons attach
ed, each coupon being good for the
shipment of ten game birds, by ex-
press or otherwise, limiting the ship
ment to fifty game birds during the
season, on any nonresident license
Section Chapter 223, Law OF
1913, was amended, giving the COM
mission authority to employ five ad-
ditional short-term wardens. which
will be quite help in enforcing the
laws, as the territories have been sc
large in the past that it was impos-
sible for the wardens to cover them
as they should be covered"
