1T was not until after the adoption
of the federal constitution that the

incation for voting Voters were only
required to be freemen, twenty -one
years old, which white women GER
tainly were and freeholders, which
women as owners of property GER
tainly were, and to reside a certain
length of time in the commonwealth.
Thus, women are by right voters to-
day in eleven of the eastern and
southern states, as we'll as in the four
Rocky Mountain states.
mon usage has not forfeited this
right to the ballot Where duress

any state from taking away from any

ROUTE NOW EXISTS CHI,
CAGo TO EUROPE,

Washington, April 16.-The rivers
and narbors bill was under consider
alton in the senate during all the day,
most of the time being occupied by
Senator Burton with a speech In OPP
position to the measure. He especial
ly attacked the present system of maxi
ing river improvements.
He declared the country had gone
wild over the construction of locks
and dams. u
Speaking of the possibilities Of
deep waterway from Chicago to the
gulf of Mexico, Mr.. Burton ridiculed
the idea that ships could go through
the canal and river and sea to New
Orleans and to Europe. The people,
he said, had forgotten that via the
Welland canal, Chicago now has
14-foot waterway from Cricago direct
to Europe, but uses it to but a small
extent
Mr.. Burton advocated a system of
'14-foot waterway from Chicago direct
local communities should share the
cost. He said this system is largely
in operation in Europe.

Then as now the democratic party ne

COLLEAGUES TO REMAIN TRUE
TO JEFFERsoNiAN IDEALS.

La Crosse, April lyon will find
that when the regulars and insurg-
ents meet in convention to frame
their platform they will again sing
the praise OF protective tariffs; they
may not dare to laud the Payne-Ald-
rich bin, nor will they dare to advo,
cate its repeal. They will astonish
the faithful Of the party by new
panacea for all their ills, a tariff
commission How patient are Gods
poor, and the rank and file of the re-
publican party, More than quarter
of a century ago the same republican
patent medicine was prescribed. The
commission was appointed. They
made their report. They recommend
ed a cut OF more than 20 per cent in

Unadulterated Effrontery.

OhauuIICTdtSU EHrOnteTy.
Mr.. Jones said that if ever there
was an instance of unadulterated eff
frontery since time began it is this
pretended zeal of republican leaders
on tbs question. 1t is only the old
trick OF coming new high sounding
phrase to- divert attention from old
abuses. What party was it That gave
away to the great corporations many
years ago the cream OF our national
domain, and is now shedding croco-
die tears over the skim milk that is
left us?
Your gallant townsman, Colonel
Gil Woodward. will well remember
that more than quarter of a century
ago. he and other democrats helped
to sound the note of alarm about the
public domain said Mr.. Jones. "You
will remember that Cleveland's ad-
ministration was the first one which
sought to stop the criminal course by
which the people were robbed of their
lands. by which lands enough for a
great empire were given to the rail-
roads. You may be sure that the
democratic party will act as unit
in the attempt to save the resources
of the nation. 1t has always been
the party policy. We call it by the
homely name of economy. a word
sacred i'm democratic councils since
the days of Jefferson. Republican
leaders call it conservation of nation
al resources. And they are exulting
in the discovery of this sonorous
phrase. and are hoping that an indnl-
gent people will once more forget the
robbery of their lands. and mines. and
the policy by which the many nave

Governor Hughes declares that the
whole political household of the state

Need of Disinfectant.
1T might be added that the politi-

party in the nation at large needs
disinfecting; chlorid of lime will not
do it: nor VII change in rule of

victory will do the job.
