Senator Patterson On The State.
hood Bill.

When the Statehood Bill was under
discussion in the United States Senate
Senator Patterson of Colorado, offered
an amendment, the effect of which
if adopted, would have been to permit
women of full age in the proposed
two new states to vote for members Of
the constitutional conventions and
then the ratification or rejection of
the Constitution. In defending his
amendment Senator Patterson said:
"Who will say, Mr.. President, that
such privilege should not be given
to the women of these now four
territories. 1t is the crucial time for
the future of these four territories in
connection with the proposed State
hood. The constitutional conventions
will have everything with which
women are most deeply concerned to
consider, the question of divorces,
the question of the right of parents
to children, the question of the
ownership of property by wives to the
proceeds of their own labor, and the
questions of schools. Who is more
deeply interested in these different
questions than are the women of these
now four territories? Whatever may
be said of the bravery, the courage,
the self sacrificing devotion, and the
patriotism of those who left behind
them the civilization of the comforts
of their eastern homes, as applicable
to the men, may be emphasized FIVE
fold as applicable to the women. Mr..
President, this is in the line OF the
progress of civilization.
The amendment was rejected, but
History will not have to record of
Thomas M. Patterson that he was one
of those who made himself "the
laughing stock Of posterity" by stand
ing in the way of evolution.

What About Morton7

The change of politics OF Paul Nor
ton and his appointment Immediately
after to the cabinet, was an occurrence
the like Of which was never known in
American politics before. At first it
was thought that that was one OF the
impulsive acts Of Roosevelt in perfect
accord with his character. Now 1t
turns out to have been deep laid plot
~ siIrssFfss M n-fsssn.saassRtian
u the purpose Il daMning upon tho
people. The Chicago Public, in treat
ing of the subject, says:
But how does Mr.. Morton happen to
have got into the presidents cabinet
such critical juncture for railroad
interests? He is SON of the late J.
Sterling Morton, who was one of Pres
ident Cleveland's official household
and democrat by political profession.
Through the elder Morton's connection
with railroad interests, his son. Paul
secured opportunity for utilizing his
talents as traffic manager of the Santa
Fee. Like his father, Paul was a life
long democrat by political profession.
nominally at any rate until a short
time prior to the late election, when
his change of political allegiance to the
republican party was ostentatiously
announced. Just why this announce
ment was made. was not Immediately
clear; for Mr.. Morton had never been
conspicuous in politics. He had no
political prestige whatever nor any
political following, and his change of
party was utterly without public inter-
est. But hardly had the announcement
beell well circulated, when the reason
for it transpired. President Roose-
yelt needed him in republican cabi-
net as a republican secretary of the
navy. The reason for his particular
appointment, like the reason for an
nourcing his change of politics, was
HOT clear at the time. Mr. Morton had
no knowledge Of naval affairs. Since
the election however, this mystery
also has been explained. Mr.. Morton is
in the cabinet as secretary of the navy
rot SO much for naval purposes as for
the purpose Of establishing cordial
understanding between the president
and the railway magnates.
But Mr. Morton's official life is still
enveloped in mystery. Although his
change of party was cynically ex-
planned by his appointment to Office,
and his naval rank somewhat incon-
gruously by his abilities as manager
of railway traffic, there is as yet no
eplanation of his personal sacrifice in
the matter. For Mr.. Morton has given
up railway salary of $4,000 to take a
government salary of $4,000. Is this
difference the price of gratifying an
unwonted political ambition? Or Is
the sacrifice an act of patriotic devo-
ton, analogous in the walks Of peace
