WOMEN IN POLITICS.

From the Washington Star
The chances are that the participa-
tion of women in the politics of four
states has not made any material
change in the situation. In Wyoming
the women have been voting since
the early territorial days. They have
had an experience in politics such as
ought to be of value to themselves
and TO their community. Possibly 1t
Is of value to both. In Colorado the
average of the skullduggery seems to
have been about as high In 1904 as it
ever was in any state in any age,
providing that those stories of Colo
RADIO election irregularities have any
basis in fact The purifying effect
oi womans participation in politics
was not manifest in Governor Adams
stata in the recent canvass. what
ever bracing influence it may have
had previously or may attain subs,A-

For men who toll |.

In seven months of campaigning.
from May 6. to Dec. l. Just forty men
in his army OF probably more tnan
100000 men died of disease. Nor was
this record due to lack of sickness.
The cases of disease treated, all told,
numbered 24.642. OF these 1s.57s re-
covered while on duty or in the field
hospitals, $500 were sent to Japan
for treatment with the army at the
date fthe report. Typnoid attack
ed only 1873 soldiers. dysentery only
3i2. but beri-beri afflicted SOTO.
The figures for typhoid and dysen-
terry are most significant. Clearly ia
pan has mastered those dreaded dis
eases against which our western ar
niles are seemingly powerless. No re-
membrance of our war with Spain
is more vivid rnan the frequent hos
pital boats and trains full OF typhoid
convalescents.
In our little war with 27b.00O men
under arms, but not more than ten
tn Of them in active service. the
death roll from disease was 1855.
| Allowing for relative size or armies,
but moi for difference of service, at
least 1850 of those lives would have
been saved If We had attained to
General Oku's tsandard.
Our army surgeons may now go
hat in nand 10 and pick mp crumbs of

From the Washington Star.
The cable from Paris telling of the
loss of sympathy there for Russia
since the episode of Sunday is impor-
tant. It is easy to understand the

wholly upon sentiment. There lis the

is taking Russia in large sums, and

PENNSYLVANIA.

f % ifH
When the Repubiicans In Congress
took up the railroad rate bill news
was received from the Pennsylvania
delegation that 1t would oppose any
Interstate commission.
Pennsylvania Is the home OF the
steel trust the oil trust was deyel-
oped under it's care, the coal trust is
assured q comfortable immunity from
punishment under it's protection, it Is
the operating center OF one OF the
most highly developed OF railroad
combines.
Another way to state the case Is
that the steel trust and the oil trust
own Pennsylvania, elect its legisla-
tors, its congressman and senators
and foster its rotten municipal gov
ernments.
II is gratifying to know therefore,
that the Republicans In congress
Were not overawed by the Pennsyl-
vania delegation. 1t will be more
gratifying still to learn through the
modificaTon OF tari6 and other ma
| tional legislation in the future that
the United States does not consist
Of Pennsylvania and an extensive
