"Women Did it."
Additional interest is imparted
to the Shaf roth incident by the state?
ment that the fraudaient practices at
Ae Colorado polls, which finally re?
sulted in that gentleman adopting the
unwonted expedient of resigning his
seat in Congress, were committed by
-women. The ladies of Colorado are
among the few representatives of their
sex who have won for themselves the
great American privilege of partici?
pating ir> the selection of Congress?
men. This fact has oftentimes been
accounted to Colordao womanhood ns
a triumph. The leaders of the Suf?
fragist hosts, such as Miss Anthony,
Hts. Catt', et al, have not infrequent?
ly informed us that purity in politics
would continue to remain an "irides?
cent dream" until the rest of the na?
tion should have the hardihood and
fairness to follow the example set by
Colorado. In these circumstances,
the news of the part played by women
in the frauds which have terminated
temporarily, at least, the loug and
brilliant career of Mr. Shaf roth in
Congress is fraught with particular
significance. Our informat on con?
cerning the alleged facts in the case is
derived from a dispatch- to the New
York Sun, which says:
Exhibit No. 64, offered hy tbe con?
testant is a fair sample of the man?
ner in which "the women padded the
poll list, repeated, bought votes, stuff?
ed the ballot boxes and committed
ether frauds. That exhibit is an affi?
davit by Mrs. Beatrice Muhleman,
formerly clerk in the Legislature. She
fays that she, in company with Miss
Alma Beswick and a man, named
Granger, procured 125 of the official
ballots.for Precinct 1 of District 1.
They took, th se ballots to the St..
Nicholas Hotel, where they engaged a
room, which was paid for by Miss
Beswick. They pulled down the
shades, closed the blinds, locked the
door, and then proceeded to "pre?
pare" the ballots. Miss Beswick took
two of the 12T) and wrote the word
" Republican" in the vacant space ar
the head of the ballot, indicating a
straight ticket. She also wrote one
ballot for each of the minor parties
having candidates. All of the others
were filled in with "Dem." "Demo,"
or "Democracy," indicating that the
ticket was straight.
Mrs. Mubleman said that they used
different styles of handwriting and
she even went so far as to write two
ballots with her left band in order to
disguise the writing. The ballots
were then numbered and compared
with the poll lists and made ready to
dump into the ballot box. Mrs.
Mnbleman then went on to tell of the
methods employed to get woman re?
peaters and mentioned the names cf
Hilda Carson, Mrs. Pritchard and
others.
She then told of Miss Beswicks
plan to create a disturbance at the
polls on the morning of election so
that the Republican watchers would
be driven aw ny and an opportunity
afforded to sturt the ballot box with
the fradulent votes which they had
prepared.
It may be expected, of course, ibat
much will be made out of the matter
by those who are opposed to placing
the ballot in the. hands of women.
These gentlemen have held all along
that Mich a course won ld degraed the
sex without elevating politics. And
they will doubtless now add to that
argument the assertion that tho inex?
perience and impetuosity of female
corruption!ats, once women were given
equal rights at the polls with their
j brethren, might renaer unsafe tte
I seat of every Congressman in the
! land. While this may be an extreme
I statement of the case it will not be
i denied that ir. rests upon some founda
I tion in possibility.-News and Courier.
j Macon, Ga., Feb. 17.-C. H. Trout
j man, cashier ot' the Merchants" and
; Farmers' Bank, of Milledgeville, who
! shot himself twice last night, is still
living, but in a sinking condition. In
a letter to President J. T. Allen, of
; the hank, he said be had touched none
of the bank's funds, but had used
$23,000 of the State tunda This
money was in his own possession as
rieasurer of the State sanitarium, tie
had engaged in cotton speculation,
and. while he had gained a large
amount, he lost it and more in the
slump. He was a past grand chancellor
of the Knights of Pythias. The bank
' l as been closed temporarily.
Co-Operative Road Building.
Thc i ltroduction of a bill into Con?
gress providing $24,000,0o00 fr national
aid to States in making and mending
highways, is an indication of the
country-wide interest that is being
shown in the subject, and the Gov?
ernors of half a-dozen States, in their
first of the year messages to Legis?
latures, have given the matter of im?
proved roads special attention. When
Dickens visited America he found the
stage road from the Potomac to Fred
ericksburfgtobe "a series of alternate
swamps and gravel pits." He de?
scribed tho passage of a Virginia
swamp in this way: "We come to the
spot, sink down in the mire nearly
to the coach windows, tilt on one
side at an angle of aforty-five degrees,
and stick there. The insides scream
dismally, the coach stops, the horses
flounder."
Governor Montague, in his message
to tho Virginia Legislature early in
1904, said of the State's roads: "Our
indifferent highways are a hindrance
to the growth of our rural population
and a bar to immigration." He re?
commended the State to begin the sys?
tem..tic construction and maintenance
of public roads. And as Virginia is
trying to level and put a bottom to her
highways, so other States are taking
up the same work. Governor Bates
calls attention to the fact that Massa?
chusetts has already laid-out 505 miles
of solid road, at an average cost of $6,
000 a mile. In New York 484 miles
have been constructed since 1898,
when the State agreed to share the
cost with the counties. New Jersey
has been fortunate in stirring the
communities to a proper appreciation
of State aid, and hor fine reads are
numerous. Marylands Legislature is
considering a plan to aid counties to
tte extent of $200,000 a year, to im?
prove the highways. In South Caro?
lina Governor Heyward belives that
the Legislature is going far enough in
authorizing the counties to bond
themselves for the cost of road mak?

Has Had Enough of Widows.
Syracuse, N. Y., Feb. 17.-A. A.
Howlett, the Syracuse millionaire who
lived 82 years and then became noted
as a humorist by giving1 ? birthday
banquet to 134 widows, had another
birthday today, but this time the
widows were conspicuously absent
from the celebrated programme.
"No." said Mr. Howlett today; "I
had all those women here last year,
and I g?ve them a good time.. This
year I am having a good time myself
with.the boys. As a result of my last
year's celebration for twelve months
I have been kept busy receiving letters
asking me to marry. The letters have
poured in from every part of the earth
I have heard of except China. I have
not received a proposal from a Chinese
woman, but I may get it yet.. I
haven51 read half the letters, and, of
course, I don't pretend to answer
them. They have come in all languages,
and some have even sent English
translations- of their own letters.
There are 15 from Germany, dozens
from England, a few from France,
Russia and Ireland, and some from
Africa, Holland, India, Italy and
South America."
