Some matters pertaining to the new state, antLthe state of affairs in the new state, are being discussed very fairly by women as well as men, and why not? Women may not be considered capable of judging important issues and questions pending, that involve property rights, individual rights and marital rights,, as well as rites; but they have quite as much at stake, and perhaps even more, for women have greater concern with home and its relations to the state and .with children, and the homes are what the nation is made up of principally and there would be no nation if there were no children. The class of people who migrate, and liave no settled homes are not a nation, they are only a tribe; women then if so deeply interested should qualify themselves to discuss intelligently, every question, which pertains to the life and being and' welfare of this nation, and other nations; the' should acquaint themselves with geographical conditions of country, especially their own country, as well as other matters, that make up the sum total. To be ignorant of these things is to be at the mercy of other people, a u d there is very little excuseJbiJgnQrance-i- u this day and age of the world in our free and enlightened country;- - There are books and magazines and newspapers everywhere and on all subjects, and one is never too old to learn while one lives. And now that women are so soon to assume the responsibilities of the elective franchise, it becomes a sacred duty to in- thtr grave questions 111 of the times which they are living; It is hot necessary to make it a public, matter or to actively participate in public life most women shrink from tha,t, there are other .methods and ways of studying, and every e sensible woman should avail herself of the best opportunities possible-ther, or within herreach, to look into things, and get at least a general idea of the government "under which she is living and how its affairs are conducted. The women' of Utah should not be behind those of the neighboring states, where equal suffrage is enjoyed and exercised; and we have noted with great satisfactiohjand " r some lime pnae in ine iact also; tnat our sisters both in Wyoming and Colorado have J displayed considerable ability, and a good degree of tact in the part they have taken in the state affairs. .'
