WOMAN'S SUFFRAGE.

1t is quite interesting to know
that for the first time the question
of maintaining woman's suffrage
in Colorado has entered the sphere
of practical politics. Previous to
this time the opponents of equal
suffrage have talked very guardedly
on the subject and the politicians
have been absolutely silent. But
now comes Rev. William O'Ryan,
prominent divine of Denver, with
an article in the New York Herald
denunciatory of woman in politics
He takes the stand that woman's
suffrage is interfering with the
home and instead of elevating
woman is lowering her in her own
esteem and in the eyes of the whole
people. The presence of women
in politics has not been beneficial
to themselves nor has it raised the
tone of political matters. These
deductions were of course all drawn
from his observations of politics in
Colorado. No doubt Father O'Ryan
represents the sentiment of large
number of people in this state
Were the question of woman's
suffrage to be re-submitted to the
voters there would be a surprising
ly large vote against it and a large
percentage would undoubtedly
come from the women themselves.
Men have very little respect for
the female politician, but there
were female politicians before
woman's suffrage was granted, yet
there are probably more of them
now, and for that reason equal
suffrage meets with considerable
condemnation.

Although the administration i:

Although the administration is
pledged to the absolute indepen-
dence of Cuba, powerful influences
are working with the hope that
Cuba will be annexed Instead OF
being made free. Inasmuch as
this government will surely keep
its pledges, Cuba would seem to be
the place for these influences to
work, and not Washington, as the
only honorable way that annexa-
ton can be brought about will be
for the Cubans, through govern
ment of their own, to ask for 1t.
That annexation would be n good
thing for Cuba is generally ad-
mitted, but it is by no means so
certain that it would be a good
thing for the United States, unless
emigration results in Americana
ing the island, as many believe it
will in the near future.

The time seems fully ripe for
tae west to take a firm and de-
cided stand on the question of "a
tionsl irrigation and something
great may be accomplished at once.
Why not? Il is us right that
Congress should appropriate
money for storage reservoirs rs for
river and harbor improvements.
The building of storage reservoirs
would obviate the necessity for
much river expenditure and would
help navigation, and the home
building area of the United States
would be vastly increased. And
now if the West makes this de-
mand the East will back it up, for
the benefit would not be local.

Colorado will certainly undergo
greater growth and development
in the next decade than it expert
enced in the preceding twenty
years. The ensuing ten years will
witness the doubling of our popu-
lation for very sound and potent
reasons-first, because the vast
mineral resources have become
known and are talked about all
over the world; second, there is
every promise of an era of reser-
voir and ditch construction that
will bring under cultivation alarge
extent of soil, part Of which is now
barren and other parts used for
grazing purposes. OF course, the
prestige given the state by its won
derful climate will continue to be q
great drawing card. Colorado has
an unusual number of wide natural
advantages, which, when properly
developed, will support millions of
people. The certain growth of the
commonwealth will bring due re-
wards to those in on the ground
floor, and the next census will
show that Colorado has expanded
in population and industry to a
surprisingly large extent.

Sir Robert Giffen, the great
English statistician, in an address
delivered at Manchester some time
ago, declared that "the United
States, having a larger European
population than that of the British
empire, may be considered as the
most powerful state in the world
so far as population and resources
are concerned" mo doubt" he
continued, Russia has much
larger population, but the inferior
ity of the units is SO great that the
pre-eminence of the United States
is not in question"

1t is among the Legislative prob
abilities that the reduction to be
made in internal revenue taxation
by the bill which is now being pre-
pared by the House Ways and
Means Committee will be about
doubled when the bill goes to the
Senate. The amount of reduction
aimed at by the House Committee
is about S3O,o00,000 a year, but a
number OF Senators have expressed
the opinion that it should be at
least twice as much, and they will
try to put their opinions into eff
feet.

WHERE RE VISIBILITY
RESTS.

1t is fact to which it is not i'm
proper to call attention, that some
communities in this and adjoining
states are suffering from various
forms of epidemic disease. From
New Mexico, north into Wyoming,
there are towns in which dirt"
diseases, such as fevers, prevail to
a greater or less extent. 1t would
seem as if a waive of epidemic dis
ease were present. Attention,
however, may be called to the fact
that in too many of our Western
towns there is too great indiffer-
ence to sanitary conditions, too
much carelessness as to the water
supply and almost no attempt to
keep streets, allies and outhouses
clean. The penalty for this care
lessness and neglect is certain to
be paid in some form of disease,
and results in the loss OF many
lives, whereupon a great many well
meaning people charge it up to the
wrath of divine Providence. 1t is
fact that visitations of this kind
are directed against communities
that violate sanitary laws, both as
to the water they drink and as to
the conditions of filth or cleanli-
ness by which they are surrounded.
Not few diseases can be traced
to criminal neglect. This neglect,
not Providence, is Responsible

The government is spending
large sums in aiding in the devel-
opment of foreign trade and the
opening of foreign markets for
American manufacturers. 1t is
believed that we should push our
goods into every market of the
world and sell them. The belief is
also gaining ground that the gov
ernment should also develop its
home market for American pro-
ducts and manufacturers. This it
could do by reclaiming the 75,OO0,-
900 acres of western arid land and
settling them with thousands of
industrious home builders. East
ern merchants are more than will
ling to see such an undertaking.
The west should take the initiative.

The results of the war with
Spain and the strength displayed
by the United States in that con-
fict wrought radical change in
the estimation in which this coun-
try was held abroad. Continental
Europe had its eyes opened and
now the United States is fully rec
ognized as one of the great powers,
and its wishes are taken into con-
sideration in connection with every
international problem. 1t has
been a leader rather than fol-
lower in the adjustment of the

Senator Davis death, although

Senator Davis death, although
expected for several days, was a
shock to most persons in Wash
ington, including the President
and his colleagues in the Senate.
Few men in public life have had
more or warmer personal friends.
AS chairman of the Senate Com
mittee on Foreign Relations he has
had much to do with shaping the
foreign policy Of the present ad-
ministration, both through legis-
lation and advice. As Senator
Martin, of Virginia, political op-
ponent, said of him, "While a
strict party man, he was never a
partisan" 1t can be truly said Of
Senator Davis that he will be
missed.

applies exclusively or almost ex-

that is very restricted and i'm

in the making and fulflment of

A proposition is now being dis
cussed, and will be presented to
the coming session of Congress to
unite the territory of Oklahoma
and Indian Territory and admit
them as the state of jefferson.
Oklahoma has over 100000 popu-
lation and Indian Territory about
392, 900, and in all respects they are
fitted for statehood. These two
territories comprise all the remain
ing area of the Louisiana purchase
that has not already been admitted
to the union, and in no manner
could Jefferson's great act of
craftsmanship be more properly
recognized and perpetuated than
by the naming of a state after him
and admitting it to the union at
once. This year is the one hun
dredth anniversary of the Louisi-
ana purchase, and it would be q
historical coincidence of great sig
nificance, if on this centennial, the
last of the vast area which Jeffer-
son added to the nation could be
made state under the name of the
great commoner.

Badly Mangled.

J. N. Hogsett was badly mangled
last Wednesday evening by savage
hog. While feeding he stepped into
pen where SOW with fresh litter
of pigs was confined. She grabbed
him by the right leg and threw him
down and they fought for ten minutes
before he was able to get away. His
right hand was cut open and his right
leg from the knee to the ankle was
chewed by the savage animal in a
horrible manner. He is now under
thelcare of DIR. B. F. Holmes and un-
less blood poisoning sets in, of which
there are grave fears, will recover.

of Bessie's friends were present and
all seemed to enjoy a social good
time.
Numerous handsome and valuable
presents were received, both from
the guests and from friends in Marion,

brides sister, Anna, left the next day
for Sabina to join number of young

New Bank Building.

The Merchants National Bank has
entirely outgrown its present quarters
and has purchased the Haynes corner
at High and Main streets and will SO
entirely remodel the building as to
make it practically new throughout
The two rooms on the ground floor
will be made into one and fitted out
in first-class modern style. The old
outside stairway, so long the rendez.
vous of loafers, will be removed and
the entrance to the upper stories will
be from the interior.
This is a splendid location for fine
business building, and the new one
will make great improvements in the
general aspect of the town.
