A writer argues that many laws attributed to Colorado women voters exist in states without suffrage, listing protections for children, guardianship, education, juvenile welfare, health, and penal reforms. In Denver, women voters also secured street drinking fountains, garbage receptacles, streetcar seating, bans on public expectoration, parking controls, and tree planting.

Not the Same Joke at Grand Central Depot
A Birmingham Axe-Herald recounts a humorous tale in a Chicago depot where a man is tricked into believing a stranger is the baby's father. The revelation that the baby is his own child triggers mockery from bystanders before a dog kicks and a series of unrelated domestic tips follow. The piece then shifts to commentary on railway construction with dynamite, and ends noting Representative Mann's pursuit of recorded remarks in Congress for satire.
