A majority of the bills passed by the Colorado Legislature at Its last session were either introduced by women or directly In their interests, and the feminine influence on legislation was declared to be distinctly elevating and healthful. In far off New Zealand we find Premier Seddon, one of the bitterest opponents of woman suffrage before its introduction into that colony, now warmly qommending the system, having been "thoroughly converted by its practical workings."

The Church of God has been quite successful in Philadelphia. Its members are steadily increasing in numbers, and have set an example of good behavior to every body. The wayfarer realizes that he is in their neighborhood when he sees the start-llngly religious signs over all the stores and places of business.

The Caprlcornian, cf Rockhampton, Queensland, devotes over two columns of Its space to the report, with the following introduction: cars. men ana so.uoo women are qualified to vote at the next legislative elections. An interesting point is that, in nearly one-third' of the electorates, the women voters outnumber the men and will, consequently, absolutely control the selection of legislators in these districts.

However, it need not be assumed that the women will choose members of their own sex exclusively where they have the right to dictate who shall hold office. In many of these districts men of worth and judgment will be elected by women constituents, Just as Indistricts controlled by men women have often been mg the successful candidates. In this connection the following reasons for believing in woman suffrage recently given by Bertha Rlrsch Baruch, of Philadelphia, are of interest: 1. Because, woman like man, was created a reasoning being, notwithstanding the attempt of many men to prove the contrary. 1 Because a woman is an individual, responsible for her actions to her fellow men and women, and as amenable to the laws of her community as man.

Hence, she Is neither an irresponsible child nor an idiot, as we are led to infer from the statute book's ommissions and commis-sions. 3. Because her importance in the affairs of the family, the city, the state, the country, is at least as great as that of man, if not greater.
