CiNGSNNATUS SN SKIRTS
CLORADO hails a Cincinnatus
in petticoats n the persou of
Mn Agnes L Riddle recently
elected to the legislature in
that state The only tlaw in the com
parison is that Mrs Riddle has not
left her plow and still keeps in
touch with farm duties when not legis
lating
Many women have been honored by
election to the legislature in Colorado
since the adoption of woman suffrage
eighteen ynjjrs ago but with few ex
ceptions they have been like their
brother lawgivers of the machine
made variety The three other women
elected to sit with Mrs Riddle in the
house of representatives have no un
usual characteristics One has for a
number of years presided over the
destinies of a small family hotel An
other is a professional politician who
has secured a job for her husband
through her allegiance to the organ
ization The third has won laurels
as a worker and has been rewarded
by the Denver Tammany
These women like most of their pred
ecessors are residents of Denver As
is the custom to conciliate the women
voters three of the eleven places given
to Denver on the legislative ticket
were assigned to women They were
not pitted against a man as was Mrs
Riddle who was nominated on the
Republican ticket In a farming district
which was normally Democratic Ad
ams county the largest county in the
district went Democratic by GOO votes
but gave Mrs Riddle the Republican
candidate 370 votes
Op Before the Lark
This sturdy German woman who
has spent the last twenty years of her
life on a dairy farm is the most pic
turesque figure seen on the political
horizon of Colorado in many years
Since her election as a legislator Mrs
Riddle finds it necessary to precede
the lark by several hours in the mat
ter of early rising At 3 a m ac
cording to her daily schedule she Is
busy preparing breakfast for dairy
hands At 4 she serves them at table
Five oclock finds her cleaning up the
breakfast debris and planning and pre
paring luncheon for her family and
help for their consumption at the noon
hour when she must be absent at the
statehouse
By G the shining faces of the chil
dren are made ready for school and
an hour later she speeds them on their
way equipped with books and lunch
eon baskets in search of education
Seven oclock is the appointed hour
for outlining the days duties for her
employees Dobbin Is harnessed by S
to a light buggy and the woman solon
starts on a six mile drive from Glen
dale to Denver where from 10 a m to
5 p m she takes a hand in molding
the affairs of state
Six oclock is the hour designated for
the evening meal at the Riddle ranch
and Mrs Riddle is always there to aid
In Its preparation At 8 after the
childrens hour they say their prayers
and are put to bed as in any well reg
ulated household
In addition to her duties as house
wife and legislator Mrs Riddle has
been secretary of the state grange for
six years and she frequently rounds
out the routine of her daily chores by
attending to the duties required of her
by that organization which she has
seen grow from twenty circles to fifty
four with a membership of 4000 farm
ers
ner position as secretary places her
in practical control of this body of
ranchmen and keeps her alive to their
interests and progress it would be
regarded as extraordinary for a man
to do these things What kind of wo
man Is this who can compass them so
satisfactorily to all concerned
Has Never Been In 7zi
She is not a brilliant suffragette She
has never saluted a policeman in the
eye with her strong right or prostrat
ed a cabinet member with an upper
cut She has never been in jail She
is just a modest unassuming right
thinking hausfrau who has by hard
work secured a practical education
When a little child in Germany she sat
up far into the night and studied by
candlelight wrapping the book about
the candle to keep its light from being
seen Through the grange she gained
a knowledge of economic questions and
as is natural In a suffrage state
PUNTA ARENAS SEES LOSS
Southernmost City of Americas Dreads
Panama Canal Opening
Anxiety is being felt at Punta Are
nas Chile the southernmost city of
the world over the possible effects of
the opening of the Panama canal on
traffic through the strait of Magellan
All vessels passing between the east
and west have been accustomed to
stop at Punta Arenas to coal The
town which has a population of 12
000 paved streets large stores and
many public improvements has
thrived particularly as a result of the
ocean traffic which may be diverted
to the canal
African Railway Earnings Increase
The earnings of the South African
railways for the seven months since
the union exceed by 5000000 those of
the preceding corresponding period
cussed political problems with ner hus
band
Mrs Riddle in common with all
I truly worthy characters has an aver-
sion for the personal pronoun I but
j she yielded the other day
I was born in Silesia Germany
she said I attended High Daugh
ters college before I came to this
country at the age of sixteen My
first efforts to become naturalized re
sulted in two years study of domes
tic science in St Louis After that I
entered a training school for nurses
and when I received my diploma took
up the active service of my profes
sion
Then George Riddle came wooing
and winning me away from my chosen
work Twenty years ago I came to
Glendale a bride and since that time
the dairy farm has been the center of
the universe to me
I have not known the joy of tying
baby shoes for my own children for
no little ones have been given to us
but I have raised a family of ten
said the stateswoman I have taken
to my heart and home the children of
my two sisters one of whom died
leaving a family of four another leav
ing sis I have tried to do my duty
by them but they are beginning to
grow up now so I will have time for
new interests While I never aspired
to public office I have been interested
in world affairs since my girlhood
when my father held official position
In Germany and I am glad to have
the opportunity to work for the bet
terment of the farmers
Carried Democratic District
Mrs Riddle represents Adams Arap
ahoe and Elbert counties in the
Eighteenth general assembly of Colo
rado These counties comprise an
area as large as the state of Rhode
Island She drove all over her district
during the campaign talking plain pol
itics to her constituents and was en
tertained at nightfall at the home of a
friendly ranchman When the votes
were counted in this Democratic dis
trict Mrs Riddles personal popularity
gave her a very comfortable majority
Although Mrs Riddle belongs to the
minority party in the house the mem
bers of both parties never lose an op
portunity to show their respect for her
opinions upon the subjects in which
she is interested They regard her as
authority upon scientific reforms for
the farmer She has demonstrated
that she is a practical woman by the
program she made out for herself and
which she hopes to see put into effect
while she is in the legislature
As a member of the advisory board
of the State Agricultural college she
understands its needs and Its methods
and she advocates an appropriation for
that institution which shall provide
for a corps of teachers who shall
travel about the state to teach the
farmers wives and daughters as well
as the farmers the simple lessons of
sanitary living and nursing and who
shall also teach them how to relieve
the dreary monotony of ranch life by
harmless social pleasures
Such a course of training Mrs Rid
dle believes will check the mad rush
of the boys and girls from country
homes to the pitfalls of the city
Advocates Cream Testing
Another hobby of Colorados remark
able woman legislator is the establish
ment of a bureau of cream testing Ac
cording to Mrs Riddle each county
should have a supervisor or inspector
to look after the cream testers She
claims this protection in behalf of the
farmer who receives only 14 cents for
the gallon of milk for which the dairy
man gets 33 This injustice it is said
Is due to the cream tester whose de
cision is final This condition of af
fairs is driving men out of the dairy
business in Colorado and favoring the
shipment of milk from Kansas Mrs
Riddle hopes by proper legislation to
right this wrong
The other members of the legislature
may not know that this quiet but de
termined woman with ideas has not
waited for any one to set her a good
example but has taken the initiative
on the anti pass question and has
promptly returned all the passes she
received at the opening of the session
The advocates of woman suffrage
taking stock of Mrs Riddles good
qualities are triumphantly pointing to
this vital German dairywoman with a
talent for politics and are proclaiming
her the woman of the hour in Colo
rado
HANDS DOWN BANDITS CRY
