Suffrage and Political Corrup-
 ton In Colorado.

When the Hon. John F. Shafroth, representative in congress from the Denver district, resigned his seat the other day he directed the attention of the whole country to the political cor ruption which exists in Colorado and especially in Denver. The investiga- tion by the house committee revealed such outrageous frauds in the election of MT. ShafrCth and the other demo- crats who were on the ticket with him that MT. Shafroth promptly re- signed without waiting for the action of the house on the contest which had been filed against him by MT. Bonynge, his republican opponent. Naturally, a general discussion of Colorado poli- tics has followed, and much of this discussion is not very intelligent.
 For instance. some ready people have jumped across lots to the con- clusion that the disgracefully low state of democratic politics in Colorado is due to woman suffrag It is urged that the demoralization in Denver is caused by the general participation of women in politics. The contention is not very logical. and perhaps is scarcely worth serious attention, but it is interesting to note MT. Shafroth's own observations on the charge that the women of Denver were responsible for the fraudulent ballots by which he was declared elected. He specific ally denies that any part of the crime is to be charged to the women voters. The frauds which gave him an appar- ent majority of several thousand votes were committed, he says, 'in the lowest part of Denver, where not many women live" And he adds that the practices which have disgraced his state are much rarer among women than men. although the women vote quite as generally as the men.
 The facts seem to sustain the theory that matters would be a great deal worse in Colorado if the women didn't vote

the new charge upon the treasury. but the official figures do not warrant any alarm.
 The pension office has carefully es- timated the amount necessary to pay these pensions on the 65-year basis, and finds that the maximum at any time under the operations of such q law would be less that $$2O, 100000
 As it would he a physical imoossibil ity for the clerical force of the pension office to push through more than five hundred pensions day, it is estimated that less than S1O.OOO. GOO would be paid out on pensions. SO prepared, in the first year. It is expected that these pensions void call for approximately 15,OOO. 600 the second year, and pos sibly reach l9,5OO,O0O thereafter. Which would be the highwater mark. In the opinion of pension office experts a decrease in payment would then begin, because of the ages reached by the benofciaries.
 Aside from the comparatively small amount required to pension these vel erans as contra sted with the number benefited, the house and senate lead- CTS believe that the time has arrived for the enactment of such legislation.

"The Man Roosevelt.

Mir. Francis E. Leupp, a newspaper correspondent with a long experience at Washington, has written a book about Mir. Roosevelt which probably comes nearer the truth than most of the Biographies which will appear this year. The campaign biographies of the president will be-campaign biogra- phies. The beck upon which MT. Jacob Riis is engaged is likely to furnish ev- idence Of MT. Riis' emotional nature and his intense personal admiration for MT Roosevelt. MT. Leupp is no less a friend-indeed, he is one of the presi- dents most intimate friends-but his long training as a newspaper man has strengthened his judicial faculties and eurbed all tendencies to "sloP over'' and deal ir the superlative. Moreover, in his book, The Man Roosevelt" it is obvious that MT. Leupp is sincerely anxious to tell the truth.
 The Roosevelt that MT. Leupp pre- sents to us is neither q great saint nor a great sinner, nor 2n extraordinary Y man intellectually. The imperfectioas are not glosseG over, nor is an attempt made to place MT. Roosevelt upon a cedestal far above his fellow Arneri- cans, and the result is a character which the people can understand-and which they like. The very fact that Theodore Roosevelt has a number of acknowledged shortcomings no doubt strengthens his hold upon the Ameri- can people. We cannot do better than quote MT. Leupp's own summing up of his subject:
 President Roosevelt is not a genius. He is man of no extraordinary carac- ity. As author, lawmaker, administra- tor, huntsman. athlete, soldier what you will. his record contains not3ing that might not have been accumulated by any man of sound physique and good intelligence. Such prestige as he enjoys among his fellows he has acquir- ed partly by hard work and partly by using his mother wit in his choice of tasks and his method of tackling them. He has simply taken up and completed what others have dropped Tn discour-
 SOuShI Ueller ways or dolng what others have done before. labored always in the open, and remembered that the world moves"
 MT I1eupp makes it clear that ster- ling honesty is the dominant note in the Roosevelt character, and his book as 9 whole leads one to approve the observation made by another Washing ton citizen not long ago. MT. Roose- welt is the most ethically minded presi- dent we have had since Abraham Lin- coln.''

A modern version of Little Red Rid ing Hco1 comes from Santa Fe. At Randall a Santa Fe siding north of Las Cruces, a little 5-year-old girl, Mary Kline. was playing beside the boarding car when a large gray wolf" came out of the brush and ap- preached her. She thought the wolf was a dog and "pattsd it on the head" when it "seized her and mangled her in a horrible manner" but fortunate ly the child was rescued from the say age animal and may live.

RAILROAD A NECESSITY.

The settled conviction now pre-
walls that the future development of
Amador county depends mainly upon
the construction of railroad. An
extension of railroad facilities from
lone to the mining belt will help i'm
mensely, but even this will not suf-
flee to open up the resources of the
eastern section. In timber, build
ing stone, marble, soapstone and
other products, that section is richly
endowed. In addition to these
products, cheap transportation
would stimulate the agricultural and
horticultural possibilities of that
region in fruit, wine, potatoes, etc.
These industries would furnish re-
munerative employment for large
number of settlers. The need of a
railroad in this upper country has
been keenly emphasized by the an
nouncement that the Amador Lum-
Der Company-the only saw mill in
the eastern half of the county that
was kept running last year-will not
start work the coming season. The
reason for this is that the cost of
transportation by freight teams is
too great. Besides this, it is next
to impossible to get the lumber
hauled to the mining towns for the
price heretofore paid. 1t has been
found that there is no profit in the
business either for the saw mill or
the teamsters that carry the product
to market. Several of the teamsters
have withdrawn from the business,
so it is found almost impossible to
get the lumber hauled and be able
to dispose of it to advan tage. 1t is
reported that committee of com
petent railroad men will visit the
upper country soon, to investigate
its resources from a railroad point
of view. The residents along the
route are a unit in favor of any
plan to give them an outlet for their
native wealth. A few years back it
was not uncommon to hear the voice
of dissent raised when railroad
project was mooted. But this spirit
is dead; dead for the reason that
the occupation of the woodman is
disappearing, as the timber line is
pushed too far back to be reached
with old-fashioned methods of trans
portation.

WONDERFUL RADlUM.
Jacksonites Get an Opportunity to See this
Newly Discovered Metal

Radium, the newly discovered ele-
mentary substance for which is claimed
such wonderful powers in the economy
of nature and in the world of medicine,
was exhibited here for the first time
this week. 1t is said to be the rarest
and cOstliest substance known to
science. 1t is obtained from pitch
blende, the richest ores surrendering
not to exceed three grains to the ton.
Last Tuesday S. w. Root, of the firm
of Keniston & Root, of Los Angeles,
dealers in physicians supplies and sur
gical instruments, exhibited to num-
ber of persons around the National
hotel spinthariscOpe-a small instru-
ment made expressly for the purpose of
showing the emanatiOns of radium.
This little instrument is charged with
particle of radium, so small that 400
such atoms could be contained on the
point of needle, requiring magnify
ing power of 400 diameters to render
the same visible to the naked eye. From
such an infinitesmal atom nothing can
be seen in daylight. Entering a dark
room-such as is used by photograph
ers-and lo king through the instru-
ment for few seconds, halo of light
becomes visible, the light rays ap-
pearing to have wave like motion.
1t is this popularity of sending forth
radiations that gives the metal the
name of radium. The light is said to
be caused by sending forth stream of
minute particles from the metal with
inconceivable velocity, the light being
supposed to be the effect of the swift
motion. Notwithstanding this incess-
ant activity, the radium remains prac-
tically undiminished in quantity, as it
has been calculated that millions of
years would be required to make the
least appreciable difference in bulk or
weight. Radium rays are said to have
both penetrating and burning qualities;
hence they can be utilized in surgery
and medicine for diagnosis and healing.
The X-rays will penetrate Opaque
Enthusiastically lighting up bodies
that are impervious to ordinary light.
The heat rays are used for the cure of
cancer and other diseases. 1t is for the
purpose of introducing the surgical ap-
pliances in the use of radium, as well as
ordinary medical supplies, that the
representative of the firm of Keniston
81 Root visited Jackson. He claims
that in Los Angeles many wonderful
cures have been made with the X-ray
and radium outfits.

The papers in Tuolumne county
are advocating bonding the county
for the purpose of raising money to
improve the highways, and thereby
giving employment to the many idle
men in the county. The labor trou-
bles which the county has expert
enced the past year or two, have
brought about business depression.
Many men are out of work, and the
proposition to issue bonds is urged
as panacea for the resulting hard
times. In the San Francisco papers
the labor union men have inserted
an advertisement as a warning to
miners and others to steer clear of
Tuolumne, that there are ten men
for every job in that county. This
is anything but a f1atteriug send off
for the industrial agitators who have
brought about such a rapid change
from prosperity to adversity.

Fatal Termination.

Donko Franatovich. whose skull was
fractured by a blow from the handle of
a revolving windlass at the granite
quarry, about six miles above jackson,
on Thursday of last week, died yester-
day morning. Scarcely any hope of
recovery was entertained from the out
set. The doctor removed eleven
pieces of bone from the skull. The
brain matter itself was seriously in.
volved. The victim was unconscious
from short time after the accident
until he died, although a short period
OF consciousness intervened after the
tlrst shock of the accident had passed.
The left eye was destroyed, and the
forehead and cheek bones fractured.
Deceased was brother of A. Franato-
vlch, OF the Jackson Marble Works.
lie was engaged in hosting a granite
block weighing over ton. On taking
the brake off the immense weight
caused the handle to revolve uncon-
troled, striking him with fatal effect.

There are reports in circulation
that the route of the proposed cleo
trio line from lone to the mineral
belt is to be along Sutter creek to
the town of that name, and thence
to Jackson, thereby making the dis
tance from lone to Jackson at least
five or six miles greater than to
Sutter Greek, whereas the distance
to the two towns by way of the
national route along the lone wagon
road is about equal. 1t is hardly
conceivable that such an idea-born
as it certainly must be from local
prejudices-would be entertained for
a moment by business men who are
expected to invest their capital in
the undertaking. The trade of
Jackson in passengers and freight
will amount to fully one half the en-
tire traffic of the road. To leo
pardize this business-or any con-
siderable portion of it-by a circuit
Gus route, or by a failure to build
within a short distance of the coun-
ty seat, would be the hight of folly.
Even with a terminus couple of
miles from town the saving in cost
of freight to Jackson would be so
trifiing that freight teams would be
likely to keep on the road between
Jackson and lone in the summer
months while the roads are good
perhaps laying off in the depth of
winter when the roads are too heavy
to permit of successful competition
with the electric line. Our citizens
may rest assured that if the pro-
posed railroad is built at all, it will
come by the most practical route to
command the trade of the most pop-
ulous cen ter-Jackson. No other
proposition is reconcilable with Or
dinary business sense.
