The position taken by Senator
Kittredge upon the route for the
Isthmus canal is a most logical one,
and demands a thorough inyestiga-
ton to the end that this country may
know exactly what concessions are
given by the countries along the
route and what the cost of the canal
will be. Mr.. Kittredge is in favor
of the canal, but believes in com
mencing at the beginning and COM
mencing right. Senator Morgan and
his followers want the canal built
by what is known as the Nicaraguan
route,no matter what the consequen-
ces are, or whether the route is prac.
tical or not.-Huronite.

ally, who find less pain and discomfort in
breaking home ties. The loss of such
men from the ranks of the east is a
decided gain for the west. Youth is at all
tir1es the bone and siuew of a country.
Theodore Roosevelt out on his Dakota
cattle ranch illustrates the type I mean
the young man of integrity, fearlessness,
ambition, energy-conquering everything
from a cow pony to a grizzly. The quail
ties which lent distinction TO his person
atty and commanded the respect of his
cowboys and the others around him,
whom he yet never ~patronized, are the
very qualities which have made him the
eastern man of destiny and elevated him
to his high position.
1T is odd how steadily life moves west
ward. Illinois, Minnesota, the central
western states, were most of them first
settled by men fresh from the east. The
Dakotas, Wyoming. Montana and
Nebraska are today peopled by the sons
and daughters of those sturdy pioneers.
In turn their children will without doubt
move farther westward until the land is
full or the jumping on place is cached.
South Dakota is not yet o~vrrpopuIated.
Much of the land has been in the hands of
nonresident spectators who bought
claims from first settlers. That land Is
now on the market, and South Dakota is
experiencing the same rush of immigra-
ton she did in lss1-s2. We welcome them
all, whether from east or west, north or
south. knowing that the man who has the
energy to move is pretty apt to be a desir.
able citizen"

The right of the ballot in school
matters has been withdrawn from
women in cities of the second class
in Kentucky, by the legislature of
the state. Every republican in the
body voted against the disfranchise.
ment and every democrat but one
voted for it. The women of Ken.
lucky had enjoyed the right of fran
Ghise in school matters since 1888.
The reason given for the action is
that it cost too much for extra booths
but the real reason is because the
black women outnumbered their
white sisters in the voting at a recent
election.-thus defeating members
of the board who it was believed
would appoint an ineficiant, incom-
petent and otherwise Objectionable
colored man superintendent of the
colored schools of Lexington. The
women of the state were almost a
unit in the fight against the repeal
of the law, but the action was taken
despite the fact that petitions from
women's clubs and women all over
the state prayed it might be other,
wise. The action is a disgrace to civ.
iiization and marks a very grimmy
page in the history of Kentucky,
receiving the condemnation of all
decent, self respecting, intelligent
thinking people throughout the
country. The colored women should
have been complimented instead Of
punished for their action.
