Show Civilization is having no backset in Colorado so far as the rights of women are concerned. There the mothers and wives and sisters are moving steadily on. The r.mendments to the state constitution constitu-tion granting the right of suffrage to women, not the meaner right to vote in matters of education, but in all that the term right of suffrage for men embraces, were carried by a substantial majority. Colorado now has the proud distinction of being the first state in the Union thus gracefully to yield to the inevitable. Some of the recent territories, notably Wyoming, Wyo-ming, came into the Union with a woman's wom-an's suffrage constitution, but Colorado is the first to recognize and correct the error. It is a proud distinction. It is likewise an example which other states must sooner or later follow. The idea that women must share the burdens of government and none of the honors is a decayed idea most cherished where men are the most savage. Cincinnati Times-Star. |
