President On Alaska

The presidents message strongly urges that delegate he granted Alaska. The portion of the mes- sage devoted to Alaska needs is as follows:
 "l earnestly ask that Alaska be given an elective delegate. Some person should be chosen who can speak with authority of the needs of the territory. The government should aid in the construction of a railroad from the Gulf of Alaska to the Yukon river in American terrl- tory. In my last two messages I advocated certain additional ac- ton on behalf of Alaska. shall not now repeat these recommenda- tions, but shall lay all my stress upon the recommendation of giv- Ing 10 Alaska some one authorized to speak for it l should prefer that the delegate was made cleo tive. but if this is not. decmed'vise, then make him appointive. At any rate ,,i' c Alaska some person who'e business it shall be to speak with authority on her behalf in congress. The natural resources oi Alaska are great. Some of the chief needs of the peculiarly ener- getic, self reliant and typieally American white population of Alas ka were set forth in my last mes sage. l also earnestly ask rour attention to the needs of the Alas ka Indians. All Indians who are competent should receive full rights of American citizenship. It is, for instance, an indeiensible wrong to deny to such hard working. decent living Indians as the Metlakahtlas the right to obtain licenses as cap tains and engineer the right' to enter mining claims, and to profit hy the homestead law. These bar. ticular Indons are civilized and are competent and entitled to be put on the same basis as the white men around them

The Inconsistency OF 1t.

Rabbi Hirsch, OF Portland. Oregon,
in his address upon "T!1r Educational
Problem" at the National Woman
Suffrage convention recently held in
that city expressed himself strongly
in favor of women having vote IN
all public affairs. He said in part:
1T is strange anomoly in .Ameri-
can public life that we have given
our schools so largely into the hands
Of women. They are expected TO
teach the children history and patriot
ism. vet are not considered competent
to vote. While even in Russia or
China a woman can be empress, and
for 40 years a woman on the throne
Of England showed what a Christian
woman could do in that exalted sta
ton, vet here in America a woman
cannot even be constable.
we must have women in the
schools, and we must have all the
children in the schools. Those OF us
who are not wholly lost to honesty
admit that the way men have con-
Quoted public affairs needs improve
nent. Professor Huntersberg admits
that we need a leisure class, and the
only one in America is the women.
Look at what they have done IN re-
forms, and in securing improved leg
islation in many lines. It is they who
propose laws and pass them, and yet
they are not capable to vote. We must
have the term people" recast in the
public mind so as to include woman.
'I appeal for women in the schools.
The woman, because she is woman,
is less easily corrupted than a man
who has forgotten that he had
mother. If we must disfranchise some
BODY, it had better be most of the
men rather than the women.
every righr goes with duty.
Women pay taxes and do public ser
vice. and hold up before us the stand
ard of righteousness; and they ought
to have vote"

Lost Certificate.
At the time her house burned down
she lost her D. A. R. gold spoon and
certificate of membership. 1t seems
probable that this loss could be re-
placed. Certainly the cert1hcate
could be duplicated. She laughed at
herself for not remembering the name
of the chapter to which she belongs:
She said that her daughter and some
OF her friends arranged it and she had
never attended any Of the meet
ines. did not know where the meet
ings were held. I suggested to her
that it was very probably the Co.
lumbia chapter. She did not know
and said she would write to her
daughter and find out. She doubtless
could tell her.
Mrs. John Davis, regent OF the
Muserove's Mil Chapter, D. A. R.,
at Clinton, was very eager for her to
he one Of the charter members OF
that chapter, but she said she did not
know how to go about getting the
necessary papers and she was very
busy, so she did not accept Mrs.
Davis's invitation. Of course, the
Clinton "daughters" would have been
proud to number one of the "Reai
Daughter" among their charter
members, and Mrs. Monroe says she
would be glad to belong to that chap
ter. since it is near enough for her to
attend a meeting occasionally. it IS
quite probable that the Clinton ladies
will, with her permission, secure the
necessary papers and obtain her trans
fer to their roll, but it is too late now
for her to be a charter member.
It seems doubly appropriate that
she should belong to this chapter
when it is considered that it is the
only chapter whose meetings she can
attend, and that it takes its name
from battle in which her father
fought, Musgrove's Mill. But at the
same time it is not to be forgotten
that she is the member OF a general
society every member Of which points
to her with the proud feeling of pro-
prietorship. Whether she is trans
ferred to the Musgrove's Mill chap
ter or not will make little differ
ence in the interest and affection OF
that chapter toward her.

Her Married Life.

Mr.. and Mrs. Monroe were married
in 1857 and went to house keeping IN
a big old time square log house with
shed built on. This was connected
with another Of similar style in the
back yard. In this latter they ate and
cooked. They brought up all their
children in this house. But the fam
ilv was large and increased prosperity
led them to tear it down and build a
new house. They built a large COM
Portable house. This was the house
which in 1908 was burned down. Now
they have very convenient new COT
tage in which Mrs. Monroe and her
two Youngest children live. Her other
children are all married and her hus-
band has been dead about ten years.
In all she had eight children: Pau
line, Mrs. Tempieton, now dead; Lei
la, Mrs. Shockley, living near Gray
Court: Effie, Mrs. Burns, OF Barks-
dale; Sudie, Mrs. Zimmermon, OF
Enoree; Joseph Marion, who married
Miss Emma Boyd, and lives at Mil
ton; Duckett, who married a Miss
Connor, and lives in Edgefield coun-
tv: Sallie and Vernon, the son and
daughter still at home.
Remembering her allusion to the
war between the states I asked he7
about it. Her husband served during
the entire war most faithfully and she
was left at home with her four babies
to care for. Before the war closed
she had had to work in the field, chop
wood, cook, wash, scrub, do every
thing, in fact, that there was to De
done, with a very old negro woman
for her only assistant. When we ex-
claimed over this she said she had al
ways been vigorous and it never
seemed to hurt her. She believes IN
all seriousness that she has grown
law in the last few years because she

a Large Family.

In reply to an expression OF sur
prise at the fact that she was 50
Young for a Real Daughter" she
laughed and said that she was the
Youngest child OF a third wife. Joe
Griffin's first wife was Miss Burns,
his sec md widow, Mrs. Benson, his
third, Miss Nancy Black. OF Ander-
son. In all he had 2I children, twelve
OF whom, Mrs. Monroe said, lived
to maturity. She knew personally
only twelve Of her brothers and SIS
ters. She had no whole sister, and
one half-brother, who died in infancy.
Mrs. Monroe expressed some mortl-
fication that she did not know more
about her fathers life. But" she
said. "young folks will be young, and
I suppose in those days l was always
for good time and thought mighty
little about my family connections
and such" Considering that her
father was "a years old at the time
of her birth and that her mother died
in her infancy, and her father in her
18th year, it is not remarkable that
she is dependent on the memory OF
others for much of her knowledge
OF her fathers life Mrs. Monroe is
a very animated talker and has
fund of dry humor. In the course
Of our conversation the subject OF
matrimony came up as it Will DO.
Some remark OF hers led me to say,
$50 you believe that all girls are IN
duty bound to get married"
"Oh, no." she flashed back, but
marriage is a very good thing tor
a girl VINO can not do any better"
When urged to tell something about
herself, she insisted that there was
not thing to tell, that she had
worked hard all her life, and no ad-
ventures had ever befallen her. She
was born in 1885. She and her father
after her mothers death, made their
home with her sister, Mrs. ' liam
East. She was lively child and not
fond OF "sitting around" listening TO
war sto1ies-especially since so many
of them were repulsive to her. After
her father died, she lived with her
sisters until her marriage at n. Her
husband was of Scotch origin.
His parents were first cousins, both
named Monroe. They emigrated
from Scotland to South Carolina
When her house burned down
one loss much regretted was a tre-
mendous chest which they had
brought across with them.
I asked her how she spelled Mon
roe. with an a or a u. l suppose 1
deserved it-sl1c gave me look OF
whitening scorn and remarked care
lesslv to the wall behind me that
there was only one way. She spoke
of the pronunciation OF the name also
and expressed strong disapproval OF
the pronunciation affected by some
people with the accent on the first
syllable.

life time. Shesaid she could not have
endured to know before hand the ter
rible experiences OF the war between
the States.
