nicality by which the free holders OF

1t relates to rail fasteners. and has
for it's object the production of a
spike for securely fastening a rail-
road rail to Il tie. The spike is pro-
vided with screw threads so proper
toned and pitched as to enable the
spike to be driven into the tie by a

SAYS WOMAN SUFFRAGE
is A RANK FAILURE
[ Especial to The Sentinel. !

New York, Jan. 25.-"Woman suf-
frage has done more harm than good
in the four states in which il has
been tried-Utah, Colorado. Idaho
and Wyoming" declared Frederick
Wood in an address before the Ma
tional league for the Civic Education
of Women" here last night.
Mr.. Wood read a letter from Gen.
w. j. Palmer of Colorado Springs in
which the latter declared that woman
suffrage has been a failure in that
state.
The establishment OF juvenile
court IN Colorado is often pointed ont
as one of the benefits of giving wom-
Ell the ballot" said Mr.. Wood. but
of the twenty-one states which have
juvenile courts, nineteen are states
in which women do not vote. and the
first state in which such courts were
started was Massachusetts, where the
women declined to take the ballot
when it was offered to them. Based
upcn my personal observations of the
working or equal suffrage in the four
states where it exists, it's results in
dicate the ability of the corrupt poll
tical machine to influence the female
vote rather than any ability on the
pa,t of the women to purify politics. "

Leadville, Colo. Jan. 25.-After

alleged TO have been committed here
nearly sixteen years ago, Sherman
w. Morris. alias Frank Chercliffe,

Word was received here yesterday
that Morris had just been acquitted
in Minneapolis of the charge of rob-

Pacific railroad, April 10. of last
year.
1t was Morris who made sensa-

ANNUAL LOSS BY FLOODS.

In view of the fact that the annual
floods have begun their work of de
vastation. the statement recently
made that the United States suffers
Ioss of Si00.000.0O0 each year
from this source is of more than
ordinary interest. 1t is said that in
many parts of the country the proper
expenditure of an amount equal to
one years flood loss would prevent
future floods; in other parts of the
country the cost would probably
equal the loss of two or more years;
but in every locality prevention could
be accomplished by an expenditure
equivalent to the losses from the
floods in a few years
Most of the rivers in the flood reg
ions being interstate, the work would
have to be undertaken by the federal
government. Prevention of floods
being purely an engineering problem,
the engineers who have investigated
il realize the necessity of federal reg
ulatiQn. One hundred millions OF
dollars is an enormous toll taken
from the wealth of the United States
each year, and it would be well If
congress should thoroughly investi-
gate the matter and endeavor to les
sen the loss or prevent II entirely.
In ancient times the people were
inclined to attribute fire. famine and
flood to the gods. and offered up
supplications to the offended deities.
Then they remained passive until the
time of the next calamity, when again
they went through with the same
performance. In this age we know
better, but year after year the rains
descend and the floods come and
great is the destruction. This prob
lem is perhaps more important than
.,e digging of the Panama canal or
providing a syste moi inland water
ways, and it should be solved at the
earliest possible moment.-Salt Lake
Herald.

But not all of the delegates to this
novel convention are content with an
appeal. Theirs is demand-"Give
us work." and, if there is any quail
fication, il is "or we will steal"
Still others, hoboes and gentlemen of
leisure by choice, say nothing about
work: they are quite content to re-
main in the army OF the unemployed,
and any offer of employment would
be an insult.
That there are thousands of. wor-
thy men in this country who are un-
able to find work will, however, be
abundantly established by the pres
ent convention, and as a result OF
the deliberations during the next
three days it is likely that the ma
tional and state governments will be
called upon to provide employment
on roads and other public improve
ments for all such men. Many labor
unions will add force to the demand
by joining their influence to that
