The Story of Woman
Suffrage in Idaho.
BY EMMA EDWARDS GREEN,
Secretary Idaho State Council Of
Women Voters.

What has the ballot done for the
women of the State of Idaho? II
has given them the right to stand
side by side with their brothers and
expand into a glory of womanhood
not attained by women in non-suf-
frage States. 1t has given the.'
wider horizon, a finer self-poise, a
grander conception of life and its
possibilities. as well as a firmer con-
fidence in self. a confidence that has
strengthened many a womna.
We women of Idaho feel that We
are but beginning our accomplish
ments and we are now commencing
the formation of women's Organiza-
ton known as the Idaho Council OF
Women Voters, with Miss Margaret
Roberts as president. This is q
branch of the National Council OF
Women Voters with similar organl-
cations in the ten suffrage States and
the suffrage Territory of Alaska
a chapter has been formed in Boise
with the widest and most liberal plat
form possible.
We have secured nine-hour law
for working women which is in tuA
force and which seems to be results
ing beneficiaIly. The mothers pen-
sion bill is another of our good laws.
ldaho's humane law. one of the best
in the United States, was placed IN
the Legislature by a woman and in
troduced by a woman legislator, No-
men in Idaho have the right to serve
on juries and have so done in num-
Der of cases where women were tried
Women probation officers, police ma,
irons, city nurses and various Official
positions, such as State Superintend-
ent Of Public Schools, librarian Of the
free travelling library, County super
intendent Of Schools, County Treas
urer, city treasurer and city clerk ais

Many Kansas Reforms
Are Due to Suffrage.
BY JESSIE WRIGHT WHITCoMB,
AkforaaN ~ TopaLa

No election has been held in Kan
sas since our women received the full
ballot, so ii is impossible to point out
direct political results of the extended
suffrage at this time.
In addition to this our women have
always had a modified and gradually
extended ballot. and many of the re-
forms so much desired by women in
other States have been woEs and pre-
served.
We have in Kansas State wide pro-
hibition, which, in itself, has prevent
ed a large share of the evils falling
TO women's lot in liquor States. That
prohibition has been continued and
that the law has been as satisfaCto-
rily enforced - it has is generally
admitted to be due largely to womon's
municipal vote.

100000 CABBAGES IN SEA
Norwegian Product, Spoiled on
Voyage, Condemned.

More than a million mellow Nor
wegian cabbages were taken out TO
sea in barges yesterday and dumped
upon the turbulent waters of the At
lantic.
Swarms of the gulls that hang about
the three mile limit line swooped down
upon the great windfali, but immedi-
ately winged rapidly to the eastward,
leaving il untouched.
The wasted provender, which in its
youth a month ago was valued at SD
600. was shipped aboard the Scandi-
navian- American liner Frederik VIII
at Copenhagen, but that vessel, having
TO put into the Azores for coal. en-
countered a temperature too high for
the preservation of cabbages
They were condemned yesterday by
the Board of Health in Hoboken and
ordered TO be destroyed.
Two tons of dates. which were UNIT
to eat. were seized by Marshal Henkel
on the pier Of the Clyde Line in the
North River.

Although Treasury officials decided
tonight not TO make public for tho

known that more than 100000 indi-
viduals had made returns in sixty
three collection districts up 10 Mon
day midnight. when the time limit ex-

understood the government probably
would collect more than 100000

SHAMROCK DETAILS
GIVEN TO WORLD
Challenger to Have Metal Frames,
with Mahogany Skin and Hol-
low Wooden Mast.
rBy Cable TO The Tribune.

London. March THE Shamrock ~,
it is now authoritatively stated, IS 10
have a centreboard. Charles Nichol-
son. interviewed al Gosport yesterday,
entered fully into all the details of the
new challenger. She is Of composite
build-that is, she will have metal
frames. with wood skin, differing IN
this respect from the three preceding
Shamrocks. which were of aluminium,
bronze and steel respectively.
In the construction of the vessel the
methods were very similar TO those
adopted in the building of small raters.
Moulds were set up TO insure the
frames coming into the exact form of
the wood skin, which will be of mahog-
any.
Another interesting operation in
progress at the Gosport yard is the
making of the mast for the challenger.
This will be Of wood and hollow, and
in itself quite big undertaking. Two
masts will be made, one 10 be ready in
case of a carry away, and they will be
the biggest hollow spars ever built.
Needless to say, the Shamrock " is
a boat of extreme design, and it may
be definitely stated that she will have
a centreboard. She will probably be
ready for launching about the end Of
April.
