WOMAN SUFFRAGE.
A gentleman from Massachusetts declared before a committee in Washington that “Woman Suffrage would destroy the home.” A member of the committee asked him if he would be willing to make that statement before an audience of Colorado people, and he answered, “Colorado hasn’t had equal suffrage long enough yet to test it.” “But Colorado women have had it twenty-one years,” was the reply. Quickly readjusting his statement, the firs! speaker said he thought it would probably take* fifty years. “Then,” remarked that member of the Committee, “Don’t you think that if in fifty years woman suffrage is going to destroy the home and demoralise the family life;, that some of the symptoms ought to be visible by this time?” —“Union Signal.”
