Woman SUFFRAGE.

The result of the elections. in Colo.
RADIO, Idaho, Utah and Wyoming does
not make Democrats warm up to the
granting of woman suffrage in other
states. In Colorado the result shows
that a large majority of the women
who voted Endorsed the corrupt meth
DDS employed by the Republicans
when they counted out Alva Adams,
the Democratic candidate for govern
or two years ago, and refused tn
right this great wrong by voting for
him this year. They have also voted
for a legislature that will elect a trust
magnate to the United States senate,
with no other known qualifications
but the cash he had advanced to cnr
rupt the voters. In Idaho there was
a clean cut. issue on Mormonism, but
here again the women voters did not

rather to indorse It. In Utah the Nor.

husbands and as the Mormon church

the corrupt ring that con.

power by the aid Of women voters.
Not one of the four states that have

! X A FAIRY TALE.
The Story Of Postum Cereal In Words
and Pictures.

The growth of the Postum Cereal
Co. IS like a fairy tale. but It is true.
every word Of It.
THE Door Unbolted" is the title of
a charming little booklet just issued
by the Company which tells, and IL
illustrates. the story Of this remark.
able growth. It takes the reader from
the little white barn in which the
business was started Jan. l, 1895,
through the p~alatial offices and great
factory buildings OF the White City"
that comprise Postumville, Battle
Creek, Mich.
The little white barn, so carefully
preserved, is a most interesting build
ing, for it represents the humble be-
ginning of one OF the country's great
est manufacturing enterprises Of to-
day, an enterprise that has grown
from this little barn to a whole city
of factory buildings within but little
more than ten years.
No less interesting is the quaint Of
fetal home of the Postum Cereal Co.
The general office building of Mr.. Post
and MS associates is q reproduction OF
the Shakespeare house at Stratford-
on-Avon, and upon the house and It's
furnishings has been expended vast
sums of money, until the rooms are
more like the drawing rooms of the
mansions Of our multi-millionaires
than like offices.
That Mr.. Post has believed thor
oughly in the idea Of giving to his
employees attractive and healthful
work rooms is proven nor only by the
general office building OF the Company
and it's furnishings, but by his fac
tories as well, and of all Of these
things this beautiful little booklet tells
the interesting story. It will be sent
to anyone on request.

Tariff Reform Comma.

The latest Republican converts
from the standpat doctrine before cleo.
ton were Perry Heath and Elmer
Dover, who were educated in the Han
ma school of politics in 'the good old
standpat days" They may now be
counted as belonging to the Repub.
lican outs, but are looking with long
ing chances for the chance to be the
ms, when the political pendulum
swings their way. They evidently see
that tariff reform must come, and
think that President Roosevelt has
made a great mistake in surrendering
to the trusts and protected monopo-
lists. The tariff issue is no doubt
purely a matter Of politics with both
those two worthless and the president
and all the Republican leaders except
the ardent standpatters seem ready to
change their tariff coats as policy die
tates. There is no doubt that a very
large number Of the Republican vot-
ers favor revising the tariff schedules
that shelter and protect the trusts, but
their wishes for the present, at least,
have been nullified by the allience and
adroit maneuvering Of the president
and Speaker Cannon to prevent tariff
revision. But tariff. reform is on the
eve of accomplishment and the fact
that standpatters like Heath and
Dover are forced to see it, is the best
of evidence that the tide Is running
that way.

Ship Subsidy ENCOURAGED.

The election by the people Of anoth.
er Republican congress will encour
age the ship-subsidy lobbyists to
persuade" congress at the coming
session to pass the ship-Subsidy bill
which the senate has already passed.
Many Republicans believe, some per-
haps honestly, that our shipping in
dustry should be subsidized directly,
as the trusts are indirectly by the
tariff protection they enjoy. But the
New Orleans Picayune hits the nail
on the head when 1t says:
"This country can never hope to
possess an ocean-going merchant ma
rine until American capital is free to
buy ships wherever they can be Sc
cured at the most reasonable cost,
an doperate them under the American
flag free from onerous exactions and
restrictions"

How much of the appropriation of s25 900 for travelling expenses made by
the last congress had been drawn upon nobody outside the White House and
treasury knows. Such matters arec carefully guarded by treasury bookkeepers
and auditors. The president, however, a. made only three complete trips
since the appropriation was made. One was o Oyster Bay, another to Pine

third.

PRESIDENT AMI PANAMA.
A Glimpse Is Needed at Actual Condl
tions.

A number Of newspapers, both o
the Democratic and Republican faith
are criticising President Roosevelt O
account Of his Panama trip. Many dif
ierent reasons are given for this criti
cism, but nOn seems Of importanc,
enough, unless there are legal obsta
cles to the presidents absence from
the country and doubtless that has
been investigated by the law officers
Of the government. So why should not
President Roosevelt visit Panama? He
knows that but little has been SO faI
accomplished towards the work Of
building the canal, although there has
been a very large expenditure OF
money. He Is told different tales by
different men Of conditions there and
he wants to see for himself, by going
over the ground. 1t would seem he
allowed himself much too short a time
to discover what is the matter at Pan.
anna, for in three or four days he could
only have a glance at the surface and
at that with everything put in the best
shape possible, to prepare for his com.
ing.
The criticism Of Poultney Bigelow,
in which the administration joined, for
denOuncing many of the conditions ex-
listing at Panama. after only a few
days examination, will apply to Presi-
dent Roosevelt and more so, for he
will have no opportunity to make in
nIIfrfnG nnd nnroAnnI -
abuses, under the surface, as Mr..
Bigelow did. The president has been
charged by congress with the construc-
ton of the canal; he had all he could
do before that was added to his other
duties and necessarily had to rely
upon men he has appointed to do the
work. He is hampered by an unwield-
ly and apparently worthless commits
sion and has made bad appointments,
and there is a serious question If the
present officials are competent or as
effective as could be found.
The fact is the president should ask
congress to relieve him OF the respon-
sibility of the construction and place
the matter under the supervision of
the secretary of war and the army en-
gineers with such assistance from civil
engineers as is found necessary. Al.
ready the president has discovered that
he and the men he has appointed are
incapable of the management Of the
labor question and have been com.
PEELED to let the work by contract.
Who so competent and reliable to over.
see the contractors as the army en-
gineers? They have had experience
with the construction of the Sault Ste.
Marie canal and other great hydraulic
construction work.
President Roosevelt may dislike to
acknowledge that he has not time to
give the personal attention necessary
% details of the canal construction dur
ng the remainder of his term of office,
after the 4th Of March, 1909, he
will be free and should be invited to
AXE charge of the construction instead
If the unwieldy canal commission and
AN thus have the glory of completing
his gigantic undertaking.

For the present fiscal year the appropriations for the White House are
something like these figures:
Salary of the president $4,000; travelling expenses of the chief execu.
tive, $4,000; salaries of the executive office $66340; contingent expenses Of
the office, 100000; care, repair refurnishing. purchase horses, etc, $35 900;
or mansion, greenhouses and stable. $4,000; care I'M maintenance Of
conservatory greenhouses, $4,000; extraordinary repairs to executive man
sion, $4,000; lighting the grounds, fuel,p pay of laborers. care of greenhouses,
etc, $19500; total S265S40.
There ART several minor items, such a S $4,000 for the care and mainten-
ace of the executive mansion grounds, which make the total close to 1910 OO
The total appropriations for the present year are much larger than In
past years, but much of this is due to the appropriation of $4,000 for repair
ing the executive mansion, which developed some bad leaks after the $500 600
spent OF rehabftating it two years ago. The appropriation for repairs. etc.
would ordinarily amount to about $4,000, which would reduce the expenditures
chargeabe to the White House 20 about $4,000.

keep the president of the United States, but it is
safe to assert that it does not figure up more than
two-fifths of a cent for each person in the country,
man, woman and child. Compared with the cost
of maintaining the head rulers Of many imperial
istic nations the expense attached to keeping the
chief executive of this country is small. The royal
families of England, Germany and Russia spend
millions of dollars of government revenues every
year and besides have set aside for their use large
domains of lands and costly buildings.

who costs his countrymen most per capita is the
president of Hayti. The citizens Of that nation

10000 tons displacement, and the other for a float,
