amazed at the development OF the
country, the immensely of cities, the
transportation facilities, the financial
and military resources of the whites.
He had known them only as they
were represented in small bodies OF
soldiery fighting on the plains. He
returned to the agency and told his
fellow tribeSm en- that 1t was folly to
fight the United States. No amount
of bravery would avail. The entire
Sioux nation was but handful COM
pared with the white men, and the
Sioux owned nothing but ponies and
rifles, while the white men owned
cities and railroads.
The treaty never was broken.
The followers of Villa are almost.
or quite, as ignorant as were the
Sioux who followed Red Cloud. In
the Columbus massacre they witness
ed Villa in what was to them per-
Torrance as brilliant as the Fetter-
man massacre was to the Sioux.
Villa knows, no doubt, good deal
more about. the power of the United
States than Red Cloud knew in the
Sos But he is a desperate adven-
turer, who is down and out. He must
involve Mexico in strife with Amer
lea or remain down and out.
The Villstas will not get an ade-
quate idea of the power of the United
States until they have encountered
Americans in sufficient force to dem
onstrate it on their own soil. That
is one reason why it is mendously
in portant. in the interest of the brew
ity of the campaign. If brevity can be
hoped for, and to minimize the blood
shed. that lie force Of Americans in
Mexico leave no doubt in the mind
of the most ignortant Indian as to
the power of the United States.

FAILURE OF The PRIMARY.

The primary election laws were
enacted in the belief that the people,
through the old caucus and conven-
ton system, had built up an evil from
which the people must be delivered
for their own salvation, says the
Cedar Rapids Gazette.
1t was urged in support of this
political rescue work that once nomi-
nations had been secured by corrupt
means the voters lacked the inteld-
gence or the independence to apply
the corrective at the ballot box. Be-
lief prevailed that few bosses Of the
principal parties owned the votes of
party adherents, and that the primary
would act as a solvent to destroy this
tie. 1t was believed that the average
voter dwelt in fear and that he was
able to defend himself only in secret
by the means of an additional oppor-
tunity to exercise the right Of suffrage
in the impenetrable shadow of the
curtained booth.
here is an apparent change to the
belief that the dangers were largely
imaginary, or that, being real, the
primary law has failed in its mission
of deliverance. The business of poll
tics goes on much as before. If there
ever were bosses they still hold the
places OF power. There have been
only the changes incidental to death
and recruiting in the personnel Of
prominent politicians. Taxes are not
lower; the quality of service has not
been noticeably improved, and those
who failed under the caucus and con-
yention to secure office still groan I'M
der the grievous burden of disappoint-
ment.
There has been a doubling of cleo
ton expenses for, state, county and
city. There is more employment at
public expense to cement rings if ever
rings existed The miracle Of puri-
fication has not been worked; politics
still walks on feet of clay and the
taxpayers, when gathered around their
family affairs for their morning and
evening grumbles, mention the pri-
mary as a load to be removed.

companies thus save the salary of a
porter.
And SO on down the line tipping Ia
one of the most malicious and dis
gushing systems that besets the small
town people when they travel, and
the city folks whenever they go down
town. 1t has got to where one must
either bow down to the tipping league
or go without service.
1t used to be that dime would
satisfy the most tip hungry waiter OF
porter, but they have gradually grown
stronger till now a quarter or a half
dollar only satisfies, and dime is
picked up with a growl and muffled
oath that that son Of a gun kin
kick around awhile 70 he gifts any
thing next time"
The legislature Of Iowa was right
when it passed the anti-tipping law,
and the decision that ii is unconsti-
tutional does not make it so.

GOV. SHAW AT ST. JOSEPH.

Former Governor Leslie NJ. Shaw of
Iowa, so delighted a gathering of
business men at the Commerce club
luncheon Wednesday that he was
compelled to speak half an hour be-
yond his allotted time-the audience
would not permit the distinguished
speaker to stop, says the St Joseph
Gazette. The reason his address so
pleased his hearers was, according to
their statements, that 'it had so much
good sense"
Governor Shaw talked about the
affairs of his audience-their govern
ment, their congress, their army,
their navy He spoke Of their trade
with other countries; of the quarrels
which may later come with those
lands. He spoke in a neighborly
way, asking the opinions Of his listen
ers while not trying to force his own
ideas upon anybody. He told few
stories-but his sage remarks were
interspersed with flashes of droll
humor which kept the luncheon as
sem blage in almost constant laughter,
and detained the busy business meil
from their stores and Offices far
longer than they had intended re-
naming away.
He talked sense-that was the sec
ret of the speakers vast charm.
Every man who heard him recognized
the practically of the views express
ed; felt confidence in the judgment
behind the declarations. Governor
Shaw spoke from a rich storeAouse of
personal experience in public affairs,
and those who listened to his words
felt that they voiced absolute facts.
This can be Just as truly said of the
political address he made at the
Lyceum theatre last night.
II was this propensity for talking
sense" that made Leslie NJ. Shaw
governor of Iowa. He form ed a habit
of going out to country schoOlhouses
and discussing political issues in a
neighborly way with the farmers who
assembled there. His practical views
caused more and more distant school
houses and village halls TO be opened
10 him, until the very opening Of a
hot guberratorial campaign an Iowa
editor hearing one Of Shaw's speeches
went back to his Office and inserted
at the top OF his editorial page the
laconic counsel, Keep your eye on
Shaw The people who needed the
advice saw Shaw the dark horse

of domestic relations in Cincinnati
that her husband was monotcnous be-

cause he lacked variety and domestic

wiped the dishes and kissed her when
she was mad. The grand, sweet

Senate Committee
Reports Amendment
By Suffrage

BY Suffrage committee
A favorable report on the nation
wide suffrage amendment was made
on Jan. 8 to the United States SEN
ate by the Senate Committee on
Woman Suffrage, of which Senator
Thomas, Of Colorado. is chairman.
Only one dissenting vote was cast in
committee against the report, that
of Senator Catron, of New Mexico.
After pointing out that the govern
ment of the United States is one Of
the delegated powers. the report
says:
Manhood suffrage has been from
time to time extended. Every en-
largement of the franchise has been
a natural and logical development
of the principle of popular sover-
eighty. We may assume that uni
versal male suffrage is an establish
ed factor in our system of govern.
ment.
In u opinion every argument
upon which universal manhood suf-
frsge rests. demands the extension
Of its privileges and responsibilities
to women. They are subject to the
law, are taxed for the support of
government and subject with men
to a common political destiny. They
comprise so percent Of our popuIa-
ton. They r citizens in all other
respects. Together with the men
they constitute the people. In
patriotism, intelligence, devotion to
welfare of the government and in
caDacity for franchise. they are in
no wise inferior to men.
Neither logically or justly. there
fore, can unlimited suffrage be re-
cognized as an essential to our re-
publican. form of government and
its existence at the same time be
limited to one-h half of the people
arbitrarily segregated from the
other half by the accident of sex.
"Woman's activities. her partici-
patton, sacrifices and her mlsfor-
tunes in the great conflict now rag
ing over three continents have for
all tine disposed of the contention
that she should not be armed with
the ballot because she cannot WELD
the sword. She has taken mans
place in all the industrial pui suits Of
organized society. she has maintain
ed his government. manufactured
his ammunition. obser we'd and en-
forced his laws. operated his ma
chimes. bound up his wounds. buried
his dead and has been his comrade
IN arms upon the firing line. Mar
has become conscious of her power
full cooperation in war: he will
soon recognize the justice of her de-
mands to share his burdens in pub
lie affairs in times of peace"
The report adds that inasmuch as
the nation nearly half a century ago
determined to restrict state author.
lty over the ballot by abolishing the
disqualification of color, there is no
reason why it should not continue
this policy by abolishing the dis
qualification of sex.
