The thirty-seventh annual convention c the American Woman Suffrage association will be held this year at Portland. Ore. June 29 to July 6. Special railroad rates have alrcudy been arranged for a round trip rate of M.50, having been announced from Chicago. Because of the postpone ment of the convention the association has Issued a few announcements cencern Ins- Its work during the last year. The gain In membership for the year of 194 Is the largest In the history of the assocla Hon, an increase of 20 per cent being shown by the treasurer's books, which closed with fewer convention pledges unpaid than ever before. The same gratifying conditions pre vail in the xtate associations, which are on a more substantial basis than ever befn Nebraska stands fourth and Iowa third on the list of states paying the largest am lllary dues. New York being first, Massa chusetts second. California llfth and Kan sas alith. Illinois, Iowa and Kansas stand second, third and fourth and Nebraska eleventh on the list of states for gain In members during the year. This unusual Increase in membership Is accounted for largely as resulting from the enlighten ment of women generally In their at templed legislative work through the va rious women's organizations, nnd their siiO' ceas In blinking about more satisfactory school conditions where they have been granted school suffrage. The pope has Isssued a medal of honor to tha Society of Christian Mothers of Chill and the Argentine Republic for the part they had in establishing peace be tween those two countries, and the csar of Russia has requested an account of their work and of tho "Christ of the Andes.' In compliance with this request the story is being .prepared in letters of gold upon white sail n, and when Mulshed will be sent to the csar, with a miniature model of tho Christ Ktatue. The story is brief, but very interesting. For seventy years Chili and Argentine Republic had been quarreling over their boundary lines, and Dually de cided to resort to war. Great preparation was made, but Anally it was decided to settle the dltticulty by arbitration and de vote the money Intended for war to Improv ing roads and making other Internal Im provomcnta und to erecting on the dls puted boundary, 14,000 feet above the sea level, a statue of Christ made from the metal from old cannon. The status is called the 'Christ of the Andes." This happy adjustment is credited largely to the Influence of the women of the two republics, will wero tlrele3 In their work of agitat ing and educating for peace. rorty-nve new members were recently added to the Beatrice Womon'a Christian Temperance union by means of a member ship contest that lasted six weeks. The losing side provided a delightful entertain ment to the entire union, which now num bers ninety-eight members. The initiation of new members was a part of tho pro. grain of the evening, and before the meet Ing adjourned another contest was ar ranged, sides chosen and each woman prom ised to bring tit least one new member into the union before March 1. Tho Table Rock union recently entertained the minis tera, teachers, members of the school board and county superintendent of instruction tit a social evening, held at the home of Mrs. W'alter Smith. There were addressee from the various representatives, followed by a musical program. Decided interest Is becoming manifest among the Daughters of the American Rev olution in the successor to Mrs. Charlea Fairbanks as president general of the na tional society. It is said that Mrs. Russell A. Alger of Michigan, Mrs. Donald McLean of New York and Mrs. Charles Warren LIp- pitt of Rhode Island lead tho race at pres ent.

OUR LETTER BOX A Pair of Jolly Jeffertoslssi. OMAHA. Jan. 2.-To the Editor of The Bee: A pair of Jolly JefTersonlans met In the White Houe a few days ago. One was the president of the United States and the other was our own vaulting and voluble W. J. Bryan. The evident object of this personal mass meeting was to swap effusive compliments and congratulations over their mutual efforts to put the railroads of the country Into control of the federal govern ment, the president demanding control and regulation, and the more Jolly Jeffersoulan favoring absolute federal ownership. It has not escnped common observation for nearly 100 Jcars that Thomas Jeffer son founded the national democracy on the principle of a government of the people, by the people, for the people. In opposition to Alexander Hamilton, who deBlred a gov ernment of the money power and central ization vested in the federal government I'pou that issue Mr. Jefferson triumphed In his own election to the presidency In lttol. The great issue of that struggle was never misunderstood by anybody, but time and 'vents have made this government Hamlltonlun In spirit, Hamlltonlun In form and Hamlltonlun in fact complete, lnvlncl ble. Irrevocable. Mr. Jefferson contonded all his great life for the reserved rights of the puople of the state and for strict construction to maintain them against federal encroachment. He stood In relent less opposition to the centralization of power to the federal government and for Its widest diffusion among the people of tho states. Nothing was ever true If this Is not true. And yet, after all that has been wrought In Ignoble peace and fratricldul war to demolish and destroy state rights in the past sixty years, what do we not see in this spectacular personal convention In the White House of Theo dore Risjsevelt and W. J. Bryan swapping effusive congratulations over the final slaughter of everything for which Mr. Jefferson contended that Is worth preserv ing In popular government? Secretary Paul Morton is one of the strong men In the present government of our country. Nobody need doubt It. He Is our own Nebraska boy. Ho not only knows things, but he does things. As a matter of principle, I do not think that he believes either in the regulation of rail road freight rates by federal statute any more than he does in federal ownership, or than I do in either. But what he re cently said I respectfully commend to the attention of the pretty pair of Jolly Jeffer sonluns who assembled In massive conven tion In the White House the other day, as follows: "If I were president of the 1'nlted States with government ownership of railroads I could succeed myself In that office as long aa I pleased," or words to that effect, said Secretary Morton, and, in my opinion, he I was entirely right about it. GEORGE L. MILLER. Pusli It Alonar. FLORENCE, Neb., Jan. 26,-To the Editor of Tho Dally Dee: "Regulate the Mother of Trusts" Is the leading editorial In Orange Judd Farmer January 28, strongly urging the farmers and everybody to write urgent letters to Hon.

OMAHA, Jan. 28.-To the Editor of Tha Bee: The city of Chicago by vote of the city council has decided to try the twelve- hour shift for firemen by putting It Into ef fect In one of the downtown battalions. This is the same plan which the firemen of hla city ore advocating. The Chicago Are men were only on duty eighteen hours per day, whilo those of this city are on duty practically twenty-four. In Chicago one of the principal fights against It was made by Fire Marshal Cam- plitn, on tho ground that the firemen In aak- ng It were guilty of Insubordination, but he council wan unable to see It In that light. aii tne omaim tiremen aK is to have a portion of the opportunities for home life and time to themselves that Is accorded men in other avocations.

Plantation melodies, The distracting headaches from which so many women suffer make life a daily purgatory. If men suffered with head ache as women do, business would be almost at a standstill.

Rice Mercantile Cigar company, has Just returned from Cubs, where he spent several weeks making a selection of Havana tobacco for the Mercantile cigars. Hi experience of Cuba is quite a long one, an he has been going to the Island and re public for th. last fifteen years, but was never so agreeably surprised as he was this year In the bright outlook of the new re public. The city of Havana Is now one of the cleanest cities In the world, and we have very few cities In this country that will compare with It In that respect. The beautiful small parks and squares are finely kept and greatly Improved. Havana can also boast now one of the finest driving places of any city and which Is being built along the seashore by the government. He alo found throughout the country hat the roads are fine and well kept, and can easily compare In keeping and cleanliness with many of our best streets In our cities. Everybody seems to be happy and con tented, and they show this in their faces. The country Is peaceful and their crops are large and nbundant and the prices good. The sugar crop Is especially large and will amount to about 1.3ou,ono tons. The to bacco crop was not as large as formerly, owing to the Increased planting of sugar, and for that reason the prices on fine grades of Havana are very high. There Is a great deal of shade-grown tobacco, but there are very few In Cuba who seem to like It. It generally has a peculiar and bitter taste and entirely foreign to the fa mous and renowned aromatic tobacco. Cubans claim thnt tobacco cannot be grown under cover and retain its fine qualities and aromatic smoke when treated like the famous American beauty roses are raised In the United States. Some of the largest manufacturing concerns on the island are working nothing but shado-grown tobacco for the fancy sizes. From a financial point of view they cannot be blamed for doing so as the wrappers for a fancy size on 1,000 cigars of the open air grown tohncco cost about tin, while the cost of the shade grown tobacco will only be about $7 to W per 1,000. The consumers ore the losers by this, as they do pot get the genuine fine aroma of Havana tobacco of olden times. Money la very plentiful on account of the large crops they are having, and. nf course, thnt Is creating a good deal of happiness on the Island. Mr. Schuts was very lucky to secure a large quantity of fine Havana for the Mercantile cigars, so that the qual ity will be the same In the future as it has beer, in the past.
