0hioans in Washington Looking for
Plums That Nav Drop,,

This seems to be favorite week for
ohioans seeking Office in Washington.
Fully a score of aspiring Buckeyes
have come to the city, inscribed their
names on the registers of the leading
hotels, and are consulting with leaders
of the Ohio delegation in Congress on
matters pertaining to the Ohio sltua-
ton. One of the most prominent of
these visitors in the earlier part of the
week was Mr.. II. NJ Daugherty, Chair
man of the State Republican Executive
Committee. He is on still hunt for
the gubernatorlal nomination, and
came to obtain Senator Hanna's opin-
ion regarding his chances. He went
away rather discouraged.
Now Hon. Boz Kennedy, ex-Attor-
ney-General of Ohio, from Bellefon-
taine, was here for two or three days
before he landed the place on Secre-
tary Alger's administrative Board for
the Colonies. lC appears that the
President Is the only man who knew
what Mr.. Kennedy's purpose was in
coming to Washington, for all the
members of the N.lio delegation were
surprised when ,ney heard of his ap-
polntment. The selection of Mr.. Ken
nedy was a personal one with Mr.. Nc
Kinley, the two men having served to-
gether in the famous Twenty-third
Ohio regiment in the Civh War.
Another aspiring Ohioan of some
repute who came to Washington yes
'terday is State Senator ]. ]. Sullivan,
of Warren. He achieved considerable
distinction on account of the part he
took in supporting Mr. Hanna during
the notable senatorial contest of a
year ago. Mr.. Sullivan has come to Sc
cure the discharge from the army of
several young minors who enlisted
against the wishes of their parents.
But, in connection with his visit, he
desires to become United States Dis
trict Attorney for Northern Ohio is as
serting itself. Mr.. Sullivan is one of
the three leading candidates IN the
place. and it will not surprise his
friends If he is rewarded for the part
he took in securing Senator Hanna $
election. The warren senator is being
urged to become a candidate Tor Attor-
ney-General of the state before the
convention that meets next summer

An English 0pinion4of Pensions.

Since 1861 no fewer than 2,1S5,41t
claims for pensions have been made
and of these 1,526,676 have been grant
ed, so that in one generation a million
and half of Americans have drawn
annual pensions. The average pension
for widow is about G20 year, with
an allowance of about G5 for each
child under 16, from which it will be
seen that widow may be drawing G l
week as pension money. When we
remember that there are 100000 wild
ows on the list in addition to about
100000 "invallds," it becomes evident
at once that a great financial problem
is raised.
1t is hardly a thing to be surprised
at, however. The system of granting
pensions is so elastic that it lends it.
self easily to fraud, and there is no,
the shadow of doubt that large num-
Der of persons drawing pensions are
not entitled to them. But, on the 9TH
err hand, the new applicants are main
ly old soldiers or their widows who
have been too patriotic to claim their
pensions until dire necessity compelled
them to do so, and they have already
been saving the public purse by their
refusal to draw upon it.
1t seems incredible, but it is true,
that there are still living widows of
soldiers who fought in the Revolution
ary war 12O years ago! Seven widows
of soldiers who fought in 1880 are
still drawing pensions from the United
States government, and it is by no
means outside the bouads of probabil
at any rate, may still be drawing their
pensions in 1916! 1t is possible, too,
that the widow of a sofer who
fought in the Civil war in the sixties
may be drawing a pension in the year
1000.
A little sum in mental arithmetic is
all that is necessary to show the gravi
ty of this question. These seven sol
diers of the Revolution must have
cost the United States considerably
more than 100000 already, and the fig
ure is increasing every year. Every
soldiers child born after the soldier
becomes entitled to a pension costs the
States ESQ if it lives to be 16 and
many a soldiers widow has cost the
government from C 500 to $4,000.
There are still nearly 5000 surviving
widows OF soldiers who fought in the
war of 1912, 70 whom the government |
pays over 100000 every year, and
there are still soldiers living who |
fought in that war
The pension totals up, therefore, to
figures. Since 1861 Uncle |
Sam has paid in this way e425,OOO,0O0
sterling, and the bill of last year
to over e2S,OOO,OOO. Every
year there is an increase, and every
body is asking, Where will it end?"
The only answer seems to be that it
will end when the system of pensions
s entirely changed, and not till then.
How it is to be changed is one of the
,rncial questions confronting the Am
'rican financiers of today.-London

DUTY of the Senate,

1t is the imperative duty of the Unit
ed States Senate to ratify the treaty
made by the peace commissioners Of
Spain and the United States at Paris
last December. While there is room
for wide diversity of opinion in re-
gard to what We should do with the
Philippine islands, there Is really no
question in regard to the treaty. TO
refuse to close the mater up according
to the Constitution only invites more
and greater difficulties and nullifies
the fruits of our victorious armies.
1t is not a party question that con-
fronts us, and those who attempt to
make it party question are bound to
suffer humiliating defeat.
There are several very able men in
the Senate who are strenuously oppos-
ed to the ratification of the treaty.
The country respects their opinions
and does not question their motives,
but they seem to view the situation
from a very narrow standpoint. They
refuse to recognize the fact that the
responsibility for the future of the
Philippines rests with us, whether we
wish ii or not. 1t is q result of the
late war that could not be forseen, and
for us to abandon the islands to any
other power, or suffer them to come
under the control of anarchists and
revolutionists, would be a national
crime. While the people of this coun-
try may be very much divided upon
the question of our acquiring foreign
possessions, so remote from our own
territory, there is no doubt as to hoy,
they STAND in regard to the ratifica-
tion of the treaty.
Our peace commissioners performed
noble service for the country, and
the Senate must not throw away the
results of their work by refusing to
ratify the treaty they made. This
country must assure the people of the
Philippines safe and stable govern
at NhdltNtl COSI. 1 mere is HO
possibility of a peaceful settlement by
leaving them at tine mercy of Aguin-
aldo and his followers. If in the course
of time the people, under the stimulus
of American methods and in imitation
of American ideals, show capacity
for self-government, all well and good.
The same policy that applies to Cuba
will then apply to the Philippines.
But for the present our work is clear
ly marked out for us. First ratify the
treaty with all dispatch. Then the
question of what is to be done next
can come up for consideration. One
thing at time is very good motto.
The men who are blocking the treaty
are pursuing a most unwise course and
the people at large have no sympathy
with them.-Derrick.

Jordan River Conflict Brought to
An Issue.
ACTION FILED BY CITY
WANTS POWER COMPANY RE-
STRAINED.
Court Is Asked to Quiet the City's
Title to one-ffth of the Jordan
Water-Canal Companies Are
Made Defendants-Lamson Glad
Suit Was Filed.

The threatened litigation be-
tween the City of Salt Lake and the
.Lamson power plant enterprise at the
point of the mountain south, came to a
climax yesterday when w. c. Hall,
c. b. Stewart and Richards & Narian,
attorneys for the city, filed a COM
plant in the district court, praying that
the city's title to a fifth of the flow OF
Jordan river water from Utah lake be
auieted and confirmed, and that defend
ants and all others be forever restrain
ed from interfering with the city
water rights at the dams.
The Utah & Salt Lake Canal COM
pany is associated with the city in
seeking the desired relief and the de-
PENDANTS named are the Salt Lake City
Water & Electrical Power company, the
East Jordan Irrigation company. the
South Jordan Canal company. the
North Jordan Irrigation company, the
Bingham Tunnel company and Allan @.
LamSon. The several canal companies
are made party defendants in order
that the rights of each TO the use of
Jordan river water made be clearly de-
fined again. The Utah & Salt Lake
Canal company is associated with the
city as complainant because of the
company having several years ago
joined with the city in dredging the
river for increasing the reservoir ca
pacity thereof, the canal interests
thereby acquiring a right to use the
city'S canal water a portion of each
winter and early spring.
The city's contest is chiefly against
the power plant enterprise, which is
FLAMING the right TO use almost the
entire flow of the river, adversely TO
prior rights, to generate power, -rede-
liyering each portion at points below
the power plant. While this scheme
works no hardship upon the city now,
1t will, it is alleged, result in a few
years in preventing the municipality
from exercising the right TO take its
canal out of the river at point high
er up for delivering water to the farm
srs along Big Cottonwood and Mill
Creek, to effect exchanges of canal
water for canyon water TO be piped
into the city.
Mr.. Lamson stated last evening that
he was glad TO know action had at last
been commenced to determine the
rights OF all parties to Utah lake water.
He believes that the courts viii ac-
knowledge his right to use the water
At last nights council meeting the spe-
cial committee that has been looking into
this feature of the cityS water supply re-
ported the filing of the suit. A contract
with the law firm of Richards & Varian
was also reported. BY the terms OF the
contract the special attorneys are to get u
retainer of $500 cash, with $500 more on the
termination of the trial in the lower court.
Should the case go TO the supreme court
they are to receive additional compensa-
ton. On Wallace's motion. the report of
the committee as we'll as the contract,
were approved.

MAY ORGANIZE THE WOMEN
WHAT J. ELLEN FOSTER HOPES
TO DO.
Would Like to Come to Utah On a
Political Mission Next Year-In-
vestigation of PolygamyH.

Mrs ]. Ellen Foster took the train
north for Idaho yesterday morning She
will return to this city Friday morn
ing and on Friday evening will be ten
dered reception by the Woman's Re-
publican club OF Salt Lake in the club
rooms of the Ladies Literary club. To
this reception all the ladies of the city
are invited without regard to politics.
1t is understood that Mrs. Foster will
deliver a brief address on this occa-
sion.
The statement has been circula ted
extensively that Mrs. Foster is in the
west at this time in the employ of the
Republican national committee for the
purpose of organizing the Republican
women in the intermountain states that
have woman suffrage-Utah, Colorado,
Idaho and Wyoming; but TO those in
whom she has confided since her ar
rival. she says she is here for her
health and at her own expense.
At the same time this ambitious Re
publican organizer expresses a strong
desire to come into these four states
early next summer and organize the
party. She was in Wyoming in 1896
and worked hard. but Mark Hanna
would not consent to her coming to
Utah then. as he felt that all was lost
here anyhow. Next year she hopes to
spend the early months in these four
states and later. when the battle gets
hot, she will train her guns on Nebras-
ka. Kansas and other doubtful states
farther east. q
1t has been stated also that Mrs. Fcs-
ter is here accommodating as to polyg-
amy. 1t is we'll known that a strong
effort will be made in the next Repub-
lican national convention to insert
radical anti-polygamy plank demanding
an amendment to the federal cOnstitu-
ton Merchandising all polygamists,
and the opinion of woman like Mrs.
Foster would be worth much to the
party leaders after she had mingled
freely with people, whether she had
this subject in view or not.
1t is not given out how long Mrs.
Foster will remain in Salt Lake after
her return from the north
