THE RECONSTRUCTION PERIOD.

The proceedings at Des Moines yes
terday We're in the nature Of jolli-
f1cation meeting for many while others
looked on with a stoical acceptance of
the inevitable There was, however, a
general feeling of good nature among
all republicans in the common belief
that there would not in years be an
other such factional struggle as has
been seen in this state during recent
times. With Cummins and a delega-
ton of friends at Washington the
great power of the federal machine will
not always be exerted to destroy the
influence of the state administration at
home i With Cummins in the senate
for six years there will not be the oc-
casion for a terrific factional struggle
in Iowa soon. With Cummins and his
friends weary of fighting republicans
and with Cummins himself promising
to forget the past in an earnest effort
to reunite the party, there is oppor-
tunity to create real harmony. Yes
terday was the Appomattox of a ten
years strife The leadership of Sen
ator Cunlmns having been established,
we enter hopefully upon period of

tects them from any injustices. Don't

must bay of these concerns or go
without, and proposes laws that will
prevent the abuse of great powers.

The 1909 Legislature of Iowa at pres
ent promises to be free from all fac

reason will have time and inclination
to consider many necessary measures.

WHERE WOMEN VOTE.

Four states have given women full
suffrage, Idaho. Wyoming, Utah and
Colorado. Women have possessed
school, suffrage in Kansas since 1851
and municipal suffrage since 1881 They
may vote at school elections in Michi-
gan, Minnesota, New Hampshire, Ore
gon, Massachusetts. New York, Yer
mont, Nebraska, Wisconsin, Washing
ton, Arizona, Montana, New Jersey,
North and South Dakota, Connecticut,
Ohio, these states being named in the
order in which. since 1875, they ex-
tended the right.
Montana, Iowa. Louisiana and New
York permit equal suffrage on certain
questions of bond issue and taxation.
srull-suffrage amendments were re-
iected by Oregon in 1906 and by Rhode
Island in 1907-by popular vote in the
former case, by the legislature in the
latter.
