DEFEATING THEMSELVES.

Woman suffrage was beaten in the
British house of commons on Tuesday
by the rejection of the bill on second
reading by vote of 266 to PIG. This
ends the question so far as the present
parliament is concerned. ~
The rejection of Votes for women
was nonpartisan. The ministry was
divided on the subject, and so was the
opposition. All bonds Of party were
released and each member left to vote
according to his personal convictions
or his conceptions of his own political
interest.
There is no doubt that the criminal
lunacy of the militant suffragettes'
was the influence that gave the final
blow to the Votes for women" cause.
While legally conclusive evidence
against particular persons may not yet
have been obtained there is no doubt
that the burning of st. Catherine's
church on the very day the ballot was
taken, and the efforts within the same
twenty-four hours to dynamite the
Grand hotel in Trafalgar square, the
office Of the Star newspaper, and even
st. Pauls cathedral, we're ''suffragette'
crimes or were the acts of lunatics in
spired by the gospel of "militancy."
Because OF the violence of it's advo-
Gates, and Of their substitution of the
arguments Of the torch and the bomb
for those Of fact and reason, the cause
of woman suffrage in Great Britain
has gone down in deserved defeat.

Sidewalk Sketches
STONEWALL JACKSON.
Bv Howard L. Ram +

This is the fftieth anniversary OF
the death Of Stonewall Jackson, con-
federate general. General Jackson
was not named Stonewall by his par
ents, who preferred Thomas Jonathan,
but by the entire union army, after IT
had run up against Jackson In the per-
Torrance of his duty. The only foes
that Stonewall jackson ever turned his
back to were liquor, profanity, back
biting and other similar pursuits.
General Jackson was born in the
mountains of western Virginia when
a mere child, and soon after was made
an orphan without any action on his
part. After attending country school
and learning how to throw the damp
paper wad with unerring accuracy,
young Jackson worked his passage into
West Point and took the full course,
including the thirty-second degree In
plain and fancy hazing. When the
Mexican war broke out, Stonewall
broke out with it and returned home
with a collection Of shoulder straps
which caused him SO much embarrass-
ment that he had to cover 1t with q

rocks in the rapids under the bridge.
Ned forgot the crowd as he held her
in his arms before them, and some.

A puzzle in the matter Of appro-
priations has turned up in connection
with the plans laid for combating
epidemics affecting human life. The
state board of health recommended
an appropriation of 100000 year for
an "epidemiologist." or one to go
about the state and make: investiga-
ton of epidemics. The thought was
that whenever any typhoid, smallpox
or similar trouble broke out, that a
specialist should be sent there to in
vestigate, Just as the state veterinary
department sends a man to inquire
into the cause Of an epidemic among
cattle or hogs, and to assist in head
ing of the epidemic. But after the
bill got through one house, it was
tied up somewhere and lost. But be-
hold, on the last day, an item turns
up-nobody seems to know how or
why-n the college appropriation
bill, giving $4,000 additional for an
ARCHAEOLOGICAL department in the
state university laboratory at Iowa
City.
Now the laboratory people are in
sisting this is what was intended for
the state board of health and the
state board says 1t doesn't belong
to them, and anyway, in the form it
was appropriated it could not be
made useful for the purpose intended
without severe strain on the stu
alton.
But epidemics among cattle and
hogs and horses are provided for very
carefully.

At the opening of the civil war Jack
son offered his sword to his state,
which commissioned him to attack, de-.
feat, scatter, separate, segregate and
decimate the union army whenever he
felt In the mood for doing SO. AS
Jackson was in this mood about nine,
tenths Of the time, his methods OF
doing business became very annoying
to the union generals, who never were
able to whip him with any success ex'
cept in the press dispatches to the

ion army in circles, and then perpe-

in the left flank with great vivacity.
It was while engaged in one of these
movements that Jackson encountered
the fire of some of his own men and
fell. His death stilled q valiant. chiv.

IS 1T CONSTITUTIONAL

We do not believe that there Is
one member of the Iowa legislature
who thinks that the majority OF the
voters of the state would have voted
for the law levying the tax on the
people to buy grounds adjoining the
capitol, if the matter had been sub
mitted to them. a.. .,< 49,.
Why should the legislature object
to submitting this matter to the peo'
pie?
The state of Iowa has roads to
build, streams to control, lands to
reclaim from overflow, water power
to develop, and other things that
money is needed for. and that the
taxpayer can get benefits from. What
benefit can the taxpayer now get by
furnishing nearly two million dollars
to buy land around the capitol build.
ing! It Is not needed.
The constitution says that the
state may incur debt to supply cas-
ual deficits, or failures in revenue, or
to meet expenses not otherwise pro-
vided for, or to repel invasion, sup
press instruction, or defend the
state in war. But no other debts. shall
be contracted until it shall have
been. submitted to the voters at a
general election, and shall have re-
ceived q majority of the votes cast
for and against it at such election.
II may be claimed that this Is not

ers have to pay this sum of money

The Passion for Trade.

Des Moines Capital: Trade 10 the
great international passion. The forces
Of commerce and industry plan by
day and dream at night OF new worlds
to capture. The statisticians have be-
come so expert that they can make the
figures Of our export trade read like
a chapter of romance. Probably In due
time some one will feel inspired to set
them to music.
The completion OF the Panama
canal is going to revolutionize the
commercial map OF the world. The
keen scented men Of the mart realize
this fact and they are laying their
plans accordingly.
The Boston chamber Of commerce
has sent a committee Of fifty men,
bers to investigate Boston's CONNER
cial prospects in Panama and South
America and the Atlanta Constitution
sounds a clarion call to the entire
south land to prepare to improve the
great opportunities which the compile
ton Of that gigantic enterprise Is sure
to bring.
Des Moines and Iowa are remote
from sea coast territory but the Mis-
sissippi valley is going to feel the thrill
Of the day which is just ahead. All Of
the currents OF trade will not be rum
ming east and west as was the rule for
so many years There will be new ones
running north and south.
Des Moines and Iowa are bound to
have some share in the ultimate
gain.
