For the Leader.
Utah bears the distinction of having |
elected toe first woman senator. Her
name is Martha Haghes Cannon and
she has served through one legislature
with credit to herself, her sex and her
state. Last winter she addressed q
congressional committee IN Washtng-
ton upon the quesiion o' tho S:-i;y'-.i''..
sion OF national constitutional
amendment and in speaking Of the
successful operation Of woman SUI
frsge in Utah said
~ can in all sincerity say that there
is a strong and cumulative evidence
that even those who opposed equal
suffrage with the greatest ability and
vehemence would not now vote for
the repeal of the measure, The prae
tical working Of the law demonstrates
its wisdom and verihes the claims
which were advanced by its ardent
advocates. 1t has proved to the world
that women is not only a helpmeet by
the freside but she can when allowed
to do SO become most powerful and
a most potent factor in the AFFAIRS OF
the government
None Of the unpleasant results
which were predicted have occurred

struc,ion OF ideals have all been
found to be but the ghosts of like
subtle perfume. The divinity which
doth hedge woman about like subtle
perfume has not been displaced.
Woman have quietly assumed the
added powers which was always
theirs by right and with the grace and
ready adoption TO circumstances pc
culiar TO the women of America, they
have so conducted themselves that
they have gained admiration and
respect while losing none Of their old
time prestige.
Women have acted as delegates 70
county and state conventions, and
represented Utah in the national con
} ventien of one of the great politica
parties held in Chic 4go In 1896 They
have acted upon political committees
and have taken part in political man
agcment and instead Of being dragged

srArrHoOD CONTENTION.

AS the time approaches for the
statehood convention there seems TO
be throughout the territory q very
earnest interest arising among the
people in the various counties 10 send
full delegations composed Of their best
citizens. This is right, and The LRAD-
Mr. hopes to see the convention rise
above anything of a petty or party
nature and center its entire attention
and effort upon the one important
question Of early statehood.
All parties and all sections Of the
territory have put themselves on rec-
ord in favor Of early statehood, and il
any element OF any party or section OF
the territory undertake TO play skull
duggery, OF 10 inject into the conven-
tion dissention aud division of senti
ment, In order 70 thwart the great
and one important object OF the con
vention-statehood they should be
speedily squelched.

Writing to the New York World,
senator caffery, Of Louisiana, presents
some interesting figures showing the
probable cost Of imperialism. He
points out that the fetal expenditures
of the government for the Ascal year
ending June 80, 1927, the last fseal
year before the war with Spain,
amounted TO $500. 100000 He then
presents the statement Of Secretary
Gage. which shows that the total ex-
penditures for the fiscal year ending
June 30. 1900, based upon the probab BILE
expense OF colonial rule, viii amount

ator Caffery presents some figures of
his own, figures that must certainly be
regarded as being entirely conservs-
tive. He estimates the maintenance
of an army Of $4,000 soldiers in the
Philippines at SIS, ,OoO,o 600 per year.
The maintenance OF the 1900 extra
men called for by the secretary OF the
navy and the 5000 extra men demand
ed by the marine corps bin is placed at
SIS, 7s0. 900 per year. He then cites that
the secretary Of the navy has called
for the building of new warships, esti-
mated to cost about si2 100000 year
FOR the next three years Because Of
the tropical climate he places the
claims for pensions growing out OF the
military occupation OF the Philippines
at IS, 900, 900 a year. For Notifications,
coast defenses, improvements OF rivers
and harbors, and other expenses incl
dent 90 public works In the Philippines,
he estimates that S1o, 900, 900 a year
will be required. In order to provide
the machinery for an improved order
of civil government In the Philippines
he says at least ss, 100000 a year will
be necessary. For the expenses neces
| sary 10 the establishment OF schools
Senator Gallery adopts Senator Vest'
estimate OF sloO, 900, 600 year as being
the lowest possible cost in this line,
As result Senator Caffery estimated
that Philippine acquisition will meaI
an annual expenditure by the United
States government Of 1921 1856. 900. HI
then points out that more than $50,
600, 600 a year will be lost in revenn
heretofore collected for duties on suga
and tobacco, which under Philippin
annexation would come in free il
shows that the largest revenue eve
collected by Spain from the Philip
pines in one year was Sla, a,O00,o 600
, Even though the Philippine revenu
under the United States governmeu
would amount TO as much as unde
Spanish rule, according TO Senate
g Caffery's figures there would sti
. remain "mone than s2oo, 0Oo,O0o

= capitalization of 5000, ,0oO, 900 at 3 p'
cent would represent an addition
our national debt of nearly 60, roo, o0t
s 900 That sum he shows to be thr'
Y times as large as the total amount
= the civil war debt OF the Unite

"a "Is the imperial game worth Z

RESULTS or TAooINArION

In recent lecture deliveredat Rome
DR.. Bizzozzero made deep impress
sion by summing up his argument
for vaccination. He said; "Germanv
stands alone in fulfilling in great
measure the demands OF hygiene,
having in consequence Of the ealam-
itous epidemic of smallpox in 1901
enacted the law OF 1874, which makes
vaccination obligatory in the first
year Of life, and revaceination obli.
gatory at the tenth year" What was
the result2 With population OF so,
600, 900, having in 1871 lost 143, 900 lives
by the smallpox, she found by her law
of 1874 the mortality diminished so
that today the disease numbers only
ll6 victims year. These cases,
moreover, occur almost exclusively in
towns on the ffontier. II il were true
that good vaccination does not pro-
tect from smallpox, we ought to find
in smallpox epidemics that the dis
ease diffuses itself into well vaccinated
no less than in the non-vaccinated
countries. But il is not SO. In 1870 n
during the Frsneo-derman war, the
two peoples interpenet ated each
other, the German having its civil
population vaccinated optioually, Tut
its army completely revaeeinstedi
while the French, population and army
alike, were vaccinated perfunctorily,
Both were attacked by smallpox but
the French army numbered $4,000
deaths, while the Geruan army had
only e7s aud in the same tent, breath
ing the same air, the French wounded
were heavily visited by the disease,
while the German wounded having
been revaceinated, had rot a single

THEY are preparing for lively times
up in the grasshopper state. Attorney
General GODDARD, the newly elected Re
publican attorney general, had hardly
warmed his seat before he rendered
an official opinion which declares that
Governor Leedys extra session OF the
Kansas legislature was illegal, and
therefore, all the acts passed by it are
null anG void This is a more high
handed political movement wholly in
the interest OF and for the benefit OF
the great railroad corporations and
fire and other insurance trusts, than
ever was attempted by the carpet bag
governments In the darkess days OF
the reconstructive period in the south
II is believed that Attorney Genera
GODDARD hrst ascertained how the su-
preme court Of that state would hold
with reference to the extra session and
the acts passed by it before he made
his opinion public. 1t is said that in
case the supreme court of Kansas sus-
tains Attorney General GODDARD, that
will be finality of the whole matter
as upon a question OF the interpreta'
tion of q state constitution the su
preme court Of the United States will
not interfere with sueh decision. The
Democrats and Fusionists OF Kansas
however, are not greatly troubled over
this condition, for they feel confident
