There's MANY a cause for headache.
Men are not often troubled by headaches.
When they are it is generally due to bill

WORLDS ELECTRICAL CURRENT

The completion, few days ago, of
the British cable from Canada to Aus
tralia is an event of great importance,
and yet its announcement occupied
only two or three lines in the news
papers. The line extends from point
near Vancouver, in British Columbia,
to Brisbane in Australia. From them
connection is, made with cables ex-
tending to Asia and across tho conti-
nent to England. For the greater
part Of this distance around the globe
the telegraph passes through British
territory. That morning brumbeat
spoken of by Webster, which follows
the sun and keeps company with the
hours while circling the globe with
one uubroken strain of England's
marital airs, will henceforth have the
electrical messenger as a companion
in its circuit.
This is the first cable which crosses
the Pacific. Now for the first time
the globe is entirely circled by the
telegraph. Heretofore when England,
or any other part OF Europe, communi-
Gated electrically with Asia or Aus.
tralia, it sent its messages eastward,
and Australia marked the farthest
limit OF its connection. Hereafter it
will be possible to send messages to
Asia by starting them in the other
direction. Columbus was the first
man who said: "Come along, follow
me, sail to the west and the east will
be found" From this time onward
anybody can find the east electrically
by sending his messages westwardly
for it. London can communicate
with Berlin by way of the Atlantic,
the American continent and the Pa.
cifc, as we'll as by way of the English
channel of the North sea. The facili-
ties of the people. of the world for
telegraphic connection with their anti.
podes have thus been doubled.
Within a short time the United
States will have cable stretching
across the Pacific, going from the Cali
fofnia coast by way of Hawaii and the
other United States islands 10 the
Philippines. This will be necessary
for commercial as we'll as military
reasons, and for commercial far more
than military. We will need more
than one Of these electrical bands be-
tween our western mainland and our
possessions in the shadow of Asia long
before the arrival Of the day seen by
Seward in his prophetic vision when
the Pacific is to be an American lake.
The whole world united with America
and England in their rejoicings over
the completion of Cyrus w. Fields
Atlantic cable long ago, but the com.
pletion of the first Pacific cable the
other day attracted scarcely any at
tention. Fields was the pioneer
ocean telegraph, but to-day they are
quite commonplace. The telegraph,
the railroad and the steamboat have
abolished mountains, deserts and
oceans, and have made the whole
world one vast single community.

TO PROTECT LIFE.
sawmill Men Want the Legislature to Provide
Penalties for Certain Acts.

Sawmill Men Want the Legislature to Provide
Penalties for Certain Acts.
Lumbermen will ask the Lcgisla.
ture to provide strict penalty for the
act OF dropping emery dust in shin
gle box or driving spike in a log.
These are two favorite practices of
men who may entertain "grudge"
against shingle or lumber mill and
desire to wreck q portion OF the plant.
The action of such men endangers
many lives.
Dnring the past year there have
been q number Of cases reported where
sawmills suffered from such depreda-
tions, and several men have been in
jured by this practice.
A former employe OF the st. Paul
& Tacoma lumber mill at Tacoma lost
an arm through the action OF some
one eager to secure revenge against
the company. A spike driven into q
log resulted in the destruction OF a
saw. One Of the pieces of saw struck
the employe and severed his arm near
the shoulder.
The saws which out up the big logs
OF this State are very finely tempered.
Any obstruction in the log, such as a
big nail or spike, even a stone, would
result in breaking the saw into frag.
ments. The pieces would be hurled
to all parts OF the mill and the lives Of
all employees endangered.
The action of depositing emery dust
in q shingle box would result in an
explosion or some other damage to the
mill plant, in which tho lives Of EN-.
ployes would be endangered.
A number Of Eastern States where
logging and numbering operations are
carried on extensively have laws cover.
ing this point. Washington has yet
taken no action in the matter, and
lumbermen will ask the legislature to
provide severe penalty for such &C.
ton.
There is an act ON the statute books
at present which provides for tracing
logs bearing the private mark of the
owner. But the lumbermen of the
State want further protection. They
believe log is as distinctly the pro-
perty OF its owner as live stock or
some other holding. For that reason
there is . strong sentiment among
them in favor of passing bill provid-
ing for the return of stray logs bearing
the mark Of the owner to the person
who lost them. Provision for reward
will probably be made in the bill as
introduced.

the women had thought for themselves
before entering the polling place.
The fact that they were voting the
ticket OF any particular party did not
of necessity appeal to them as a reason
for voting the ticket fiat.
The way the women got out after
Objectionable candidates was the de-
spair of the machine politicians, who
thought if the party could stand for
them the women could. After a par
ticularly interesting club meeting or
two, when women speakers had had
their say as to the qualifications of the
Objectionable ones, the men simply
gave up all hope OF carrying any votes
by sounding the party slogan. 1t was
not loud enough nor logical enough
for the women who had weighed the
subject from entirely different stand
ards.
Seven amendments to the State
constitution were up for consideration
at the last election, and each one Of
them was studied with exceeding care.
The trainers of the amendments were
invited TO address the women's clubs
and were subjected to fire Of ques-
tions that was extremely trying and
did from time to time shoot apart
from the mark, but in the main they
we're direct and to the point.

while not in all cases the society lead

and action. The women who say they
do not believe in suffrage for their
sex and that they have no desire to
vote are, for the most part, the ultra
fashionable or the densely ignorant.

in office. When the late President Me

Speaker Henderson was the recipient
Of many congratulations yesterday from
members OF the House over the with

of Waterloo, Iowa, from the race for the
Republican nomination to Congress in the
Speakers district. Senator Courtright's
withdrawal leaves the Speaker n clear
field. The convention meets May /. and
Il is expected the Speaker will be nomi
mated as usual, by acclamation.
While none of his friends believed the
opposition of Senator Courtright would
amount to anything in the end or in any
way imperil the Speakers chances for re-
election, Ii had its unpleasant features,
and all the members of the Iowa delega-
tion are pleased over the outcome. Up

present members of Congress and to re-
place them with others more In touch
with the State politicians has been very
unsuccessful.
