Suffrage in Colorado George Elliott Howard, professor of po lltlcal science and sociology in the Uni versity of Nebraska, haa come out with an emphatic article on the aucceaa suf frage In Colorado. Ha aya In part: "The .persistency with which corrupt politician. . tha predatory and other Vicious Interests, hav misrepresented or faalifled tha rec ord of equal suffrage In Colorado la poel- tlvelr unique In American social hlatory. With the abundant -evidence now avail able It la hard to underatand how any Intelligent peraon not.aenrlnr the Inter eata mentioned can continue to attack equal suffrage on the around of Colo rado' experience. "During the flrat seventeen years of equal auffrare In Colorado (18JJ-1T.10) no leaa than twenty-six atatutea for the bet terment of the living- condition of men. women and children were aecured through the direct Influence of the women votera. "Among the more Important of theae atatutea are laws making the mother joint guardian of her children; raising: the age of conaent for a girt to 18; making wife , deaertlon a felony: requiring one woman .on the asylum board; eatabllahlng a atate home for dependent children, .and a atate Industrial ichool for glrla. In each case .'three of the five mem bare of the board to . be women; providing for factory' inspec tions foe Inspection of maternity homea! and lying In hoapltali; creating the model Juvenile court ayatam; Installing, a. drastic j '. compulaory education ayatem; rectrletlng child labor; making parents joint helraj of their children; providing for the in determinate sentence, i out Of which meas ure grow. Tom Tynan's famous honor-and-trut . plan ..now. being' studied and 'Imitated by several other states. .'Some of the laws Just mentioned are far In advance of Nebraska legislation on the same subjects. The following three measures, of this period, find no place In the Nebraska' statute book; laws fixing . a penalty for failure, to support aged, or Infirm parents; making it a crime for a parent or other person to contribute to the delinquency of a child; and establish ing a state free employment bureau with offices In all the principal towns. '"Have women voters bettered political condition In .Colorado? No sincere per son who knows the' facts will deny it. . During the three years, 1910-1913, haa taken place a veritable revolution In which women were the controlling force, direct legislation In the state and com mission government for cities, even H Denver, have been sanctioned. A non partisan victory with' 10,000 majority over .the combined corrupt republican and .' democratic machines has-been won. By securing, s, . municipal, water plant, the flrat breach has been made in the Denver . plunderbund. ' ' ' - 'The -enlightened laws enacted In these three year constitute a" quick triumph for social righteousness linequaled any where In the land,' except In equal suf frage California In lttJ. These include pensions fop mother; aa eight-hour . working day for miners and for women: the "headless" ballot; a state-wide civil service or merit system; a minimum wage commission; a minlrau onthly wage of ISO for teachers, while doubling the length of the school year; workmen's accident compensation; a law against loan sharka; strong nonaupport act, with nonaupport : an extraditable offense; a statute vaJM. .lng the wills of married women; and a jaw maning the so-called 'third degree . a felony. v "Are some of these laws 'far In d vanoe of Nebraska legislation? Without doubt they are. Nebraaka has no civil service act; the state still sanctions one , of the worst forms of the ballot -with Party designations.. A minimum wage for teachers IS not provided for. The last . legislature Created a minimum wage . j M,.,. biui m joner : no money i-vvropwea i or putting It in operation. Our chlkf '-labor act-secured chiefly through the work of .women Is not en- , forced by the male officials. It Is . a ; 'dead letter.' Our very Inefficient statute provides, not pensions for mothers, but ' money to aid parents of "dependent or . neglected' children; yet male Judges are '.'refusing or neglecting to put In in force. .The 'third degree' Is not made a felony; and no proper check is put upon the ',1oaa shark's' . sinister trade. Nebraska has, not an eight-hour, but a nine-hour law for working women (1913). Only in case of night work for a 'public service cor. . poratlon' Is their toll restricted to 'eight consecutive hours.' thus covering a neat 'joker with the word "consecutive. ' .'"Under very, unfavorable social and industrial conditions Colorado women have made good use of the ballot May we not trust the women of Nebraska to . do as wellT" Charles Mr Thomas, formerly governor of Colorado, and now senator from that ..state, says of equal auffrage: "To the bread winning portion of the female sex the bejjot Is a boon. Bhe Is a factor whose power muat be respected. Like her . brother,-she must be reckoned with at ,; the polls. Hence It Is her buckler against Industrial wrongs, her protection against the constant i tendency to reduce her wages because of her helplessness. If no other right existed for conferring this, right upon womankind, this, te the man of Justice, should be all sufficient. Who ever accepts the doctrine of the Declara tion of Independence muat believe m the right of woman to vote." j - i Ooadnote By MXtta TKAJSJOBXTi StOMUAM.

But In our home and ,lrt moat American homes every day Is mother's -day. It seems jnore like mother day, however, when she Is actually In the house. We love mother hest with her bat off. when her kind and patient eyes are not In shadow and we can touch the little streaks of silver In her soft dark hair. When, as children, we came trooping home from school, we always shouted the flrat thing we crossed the threshold, "Where are you, mother?". If there came no answering call, '"In the kitchen, darlings," or 'Here In my room," a chill fell on us and the very spirit of life Itself seemed to have vanished. How deserted the place felt! How loud and lonely sounded the ticking of the clock la the dining room. Then came the sad realisa tion that on Tuesday afternoon the Ladies' Aid society or Foreign Missions always swallowed her up and that for the time being we must poatpone sharing our childish Joys and sorrows with mother. , "Where are you, mother?" call the chll-; dren of each generation throughout etern ity. For It's sharing life with yon that ieeps youth sweet and clean and whole some. It's having you. for an anchor In time of temptation that helps us weather many a gale. It's knowing we will al ways find you at the same old stand, with your hat off and your kind hand held out ' A II . via mattM. 11 wfftftt fniWlA W CATT1A.

At the reeent primary elections In Cal ifornia a round million persons regis tered, 39 to 46 per eent of whom were women. "At the polla." says Mary Rob erts Coolldge la Harper's Weekly, "women voters acquitted themselves with credit. Although the ballot were varied and complex, they voted more rapidly and with less assistance than men. They had evidently prepared themselves carefully so as not to make mistakes and appear foolUh. In Baa Franrlaco they consti tuted one-third of the election officers and ; were on duty frora eighteen te twenty four hours.

Oar mothers, you . women whom w honor, because of us, your children, you have never made any place for your selves In pubUo life. Because of you, your mothers did not enter the pubUo arena.

The deadly part of the torpedo te Its nose, where a heavy charge of exploetve, that will explode by contact. Is carried. The body Is charged with air under a pressure of about 1.500 pounds to the inch, sufficient to drive the torpedo through the water at a sseed of twenty eight to thirty miles for a distance of half a mil or more, Sometimes the starting force In the tube 14 also' that of 'comiirewed ;' atr..' . , , ; Vast expeotatlpns have ' been ; enter ta!nei especially It ' Would appear In Germany, of the capital part that torpedoes would play in the present wan. It haa beea thought that a relatively small fleet provided with a plentiful supply of the most deadly type of torpedo would be more than a match for a mon powerful fleet aot thus sec onded. Bo far no opportunity seems to' have occurred for the uee of torpedoes on a notable scale, but that opportunity may turn up any day, and In the meanwhile those who pin their faith .on th efficacy of torpedoes are strengthened la . their opinion by what Mrs done In tfi'$ Russo Japanese war. " Of on thing there can. apparently,' be no doubt, vis.: that a single torpedo whloh fairly .reaches Its marli can strike s, blow more surely fatal to a fcattleshlp tbaa th mightiest ahell ever fired , from. ! gun. Th reason of the terrible ;-ef floteney of the torpedo Is that its blow Is, dealt be low the belt." that is to say,' under wa. ter, and upon the . most . vulnerabl part of the- enemy' -body. " The "cigar shape of -the steel body of the torpedo Is Intended to-give It th property of a. pointed projectile, to oleave Its way through a resisting . medium,' which' medium In the case of a torpedo Is water, for, although 'It fnay begin It flight 4a th air, it quickly- turns down ward and enters the water. '.This la illus trated by the torpedo In the photograph, which ha atarted from an above-water discharging tube. But many torpedo bo ti discharge their torpedoes , under neath th water at the start. - The shape of th torpedo, It antomatie , .Th . length of trw torpedo Is about sixteen feet, and th diameter about i (eighteen Inches. It weighs over half a ton, and, when . f ully charged' with- air. ' contains a store of l.vOO.OOO feet pounds of ! propulsive energy. The automatic steer lng mechanism wBl bring, the torpedo back to Its course if anything temporarily deflocts It. Th bubyancy fat so calculated that with th aid of th special mechan ism It contains tbe torpedo can, by. ad justment mad just before launching, he caused to skim iong on the surface of the water, or run at any desired depth to about twenty feet It can also be so adjusted that Its engines will stop at any given dlrtanoe f rorrt the starting point, and then, again. In accordance with the special adjuatment employed. It will either rise to th surface, where It can b recovered and re-osed, or will -sink to the bottom. ' . f-To shew how perfect an automaton a modern torpedo la, It is only necessary to conatder the fact that it la. able t . re cover It driving power In spite of 'J. he Iota occasioned by the cooling of . the compressed" air under Water. Thle Is. ef fected by mean ef a ' store of alcohol which Is Ignited at the Instant of launch ing, and which heats the ' air, and 'thus not only counteract the cooling, but" In creases th driving power about W per cent. , ... Another automatic device which gives to th torpedo when in motion an un canny appearance of conscious self -control Is a pendulum apparatus that cor rects any; tendency to turn too much up ward or downward. To say that it like an arrow Is not correct; it goes rather like a living fish, guiding Itself straight toward it victim. -t', To enable a torpedo to pas through the steel "crinoline" .with which battle ships subjected to torpedo attaok are often surrounded, a kind ' of automatic "scissors" haa been 'invented,- which,', at tached to th head, cuts e(way through th obstruction so that the blow may be struck bom.
