There Can Be No Disadvantage in Women
 Exercising Political Rights.


 Hon. Joseph NJ. Cary, an ex-senator of Wyoming, at herring on woman suffrage amendment, before the judici ary committee of the house of repre- sentatives last winter said:
 ''After close observation for all these years, have no hesitation In say. ing that have failed to see any disad. vantage whatever arising from woman exercising the right of suffrage and full political rights. They show as marked ability, us discriminating sense of duty, in the exercise of their political rights as do their fathers, husbands, or brothers. They have sought office to very limited extent, yet they exercise their rights of suf. frage as generally and as intelligen,ly as do the men of the state. Thay have filled many places of responsibility, some elective. others appointive. The possession of political rights has Open- ed many places of employment to women which otherwise would be clos ed.

Phoenix is now engaged in talking and resoluting concerning water stor- age reservoirs and maintaining the for est reserves at the head waters of their water supply,rhe Mogollon mountains as well us parts of Coconino forests. It is claimed, however, that most of the Coconino region or water shed drains into the Colorado and not into the Salt or any of its tributaries. Hence the people of Flagstaff, especially the sheep interests, are endeavOring to have the forest reservation curtailed, or at least opened to sheep grazing. IL must not be lost sight of, however, that the life of the valleys of Arizona depends large ly upon the preservation of the noun tain forests which are the natural res- ervoirs that give the summer supply of water to the streams below them.

Tampa, Fla, March 24-NIiss Clara Bar
ton, president of the Red Cross Society,
arrived from Havana on the steamer Oil
vette this afternoon and after spending
several hours at the Tampa Bay Hotel
left for Washington.
she was accompanied by DR.. e. Win
field Eagan of Boston, a member of her
staff.
Miss Barton said: 81 am on my way
home after spending six weeks in Cuba.
My return to this country is simply for
the purpose of attending to my personal
affairs. and is not the result of any friction
between myself and any member of the
New York relief committee, as some pa
pers in this country have claimed.
There has been no discenson in the
Red Cross work in Cuba, and l do not an
ticipate any.
when 1 reached Havana and began the
relief work among the poor suffering Gu
ban reconcentrados. l found their condi-
ton just as bad as it could possibly be,
and when anything is as bad as it can be
that is all thai can be said about it.
THE scenes of suffering cannot be de-
scribed. The newspapers have attempted
to do so, but words are inadequate and
pictures even can give but faint impress
sion Of the SCIENCES that 1 have witnessed.
THE work of relief was begun as soon as
possible and carried out on systematic
lines and there has been great improve
ment in the condition of the reconcentra-
dos in the towns visited by us.
Our work is now progressing in such
systematic and satisfactory manner that
l felt that 1 could leave and that every
thing would be carried out just the same
as If / remained. l left home some six
weeks ago very hurriedly and almost with
out any preparation. l may return to
Cuba and may not. 1t depends entirely
on circumstances
Miss Barton said that the people of Ha-
vana know nothing of the supposed fric-
ton between this country and Spain, and
that she did not really believe that there
would be war, and that the United States
should ussaevery precaution to prevent 1t
if possible.

stated that it was exceedingly important
the bin should be passed as speedy as pos

for strengthening the naval establishment
ever reported to the House. He gave a de-
tailed explanation of the bin.
Mr.. Meyer, Dem, of Louisiana, one of
the members of the naval committee, was
the next speaker. He strongly advocated
the strengthening of the navy.
Mr.. Dayton, Rep, of West Virginia, an
other members of the committee, in dis
cussing the bill spoke feelingly of the
Maine explosion.
But the blowing up of the Maine is a
mere incident compared with that greater
aud more horrible tragedy which is trans
