Woman Suffrage Sets lis Cap for Iowa.

The woman Suffragist has set her cap
for Iowa. That fair state has been
designated as the outpost which she is
to capture before beginning an on
slaught all along the line.
Now is regarded as a most propitious
time The Legislature in that state Is
not expected to have any embarrassing Z
questions Of great moment, With which
the woman suffrage question might be
confused. Already there is before it Il
resolution TO submit to the people an
amendment to the state constitution
striking out the word male from the
qualifications OF the right of suffrage
This obtained there Will be battle
royal throughout the state to amend
the constitution and this accomplished
the woman suffrage organizations. state
and national, will turn their attention
to securing an amendment of the ma
tional constitution.
The national as we'll as the Iowa or
:yanization OF woman suffa gists is in
tercstcd in the crusade that has been
begun there. The campaign has been
very carefully organized; the most
effective speakers at the command of
the cause have been at work and will
continue to hold meetings throughout
that state until they shall win or lose.

Respecting Letter Carriers.

1t seems probable that Congress will
soon remedy the difficulty which has
arisen about the letter carriers in the
cities. although the way the Legislative
branch of the government has been treated
in the matter MAY cause some sharp de-
bate when the committees on appropri-
alton report the deficiency needed
writes the Washington correspondent of
the Portland Press. The whole trouble.
has arisen from an attempt on the part
OF the poStotfCe department to enlarge
its powers and appropriate money with
out letting Congress do it, Having ex-
c"edcd its rights in eXpending money by
making certain mutations of the service
and taking on certain new employees il

where the imitation was made and where
delivery has been carried to the extreme
of seven deliveries in the resident por-
tionS and ten in the business parts, but
in the small offices which have only
three or four deliveries 1t seems to be
an attempt on the part of the
large cities to get antadvantage over the
smaller ones and force Congress to ap-
propriate As before stated. Congress
will probably do it, but the whole. thins.
has come about in an irregular and i'm
proper way.

The Value Of Hawaii.

We publish, in another part of this
Hawaii. and its great strategic i'm
portance as the naval and commercial
center of the North Pacific. Mr..
Severance, as many of our readers are
aware. is a son of Luther Severance.
No man has had better opportunities
to know the conditions existing in
Hawaii, or the great value of these
islands to this country. Not only was
his father at one time the United
States minister to Hawaii. but he has
himself. served his country with dis
tinguished success as the T.. S. CONSUL
general at Honolulu. Mr.. Severance is
in every sense of the term. a loyal and
patriotic American citizen. 1t is be-
cause of his devotion to the highest in
terests of the country that he feels
strongly and deeply the great impor-
tance of Hawaii to the United States.
He speaks from personal knowledge,
and gives us facts. not opinions.
He calls the attention of his readers
to the prophetic prophecy of that dis
tnguished American statesman. w. II.
Seward, soon after our purchase of
Alaska.
He said: The Pacific ocean, its
shores, its islands, and the vast re-
sions beyond, will become the chief
theatre of events in the worlds great
history"
Already the opening up of Alaska
has begun the fulfillment of that pro-
phecy. and already the great impor-
tance of securing, in every possible
way, our control of the North Pacific.
is being recognized by the American
people.
Mr.. Severance reviews, in clear
and concise way, the policy of the
United States concerning Hawaii
eventual American control of these
islands.
Another important feature of this
article is a review of the naval sta
tions controlled by other powers in the
Pacific. We have yet to learn that
any of these powers is, or has ever
been. in serious danger of the demni-
tion bow vows because of these hold
ings.
We cordially commend the article of
Mr.. Severance to the careful and
thoughtful attention of our readers
| The facts it presents are the ripe re-
suits of experience and observations
and its suggestions are fully in line.
