A Criticism of French Wives

The Frenchwoman receives so much
unstinted adulation from her country
men, and the uninstructed Anglo.
Saxon is so ready to follow suit, that
it comes as a slight shock to our
prejudices to be told by Mr.. w. L.
George, in his France in the TWEEN,
tieth Century" that the French wife
in spite of all her tact, cleverness and
business capacity, 'fs dour, tends to
become mercenary and is distinctly
avaricious; that she is inclined to
forego pleasures that must be paid for
and that, being a stay-at-home, her
wits, though not homely, are restricted
within very narrow limits" No one
who has ever talked to Jmiddle-class
Frenchwoman can have failed to see
that she is interested in nothing out
side her own country and in very little
outside her own family. To the fe
male Gallo mind, the world beyond
French frontiers is a world of barbara
ans, and, moreover, in many cases OF
barbarians doubled by heretics, and
it is this curious mental attitude
which makes our neighbors across the
channel in a sense the Chinese OF
Europe.

about w. R. Travers, the suffering

Henry Clews was proud of the fact
that he was a self-made man. Next

eyed him intently.

Certainly, replied Mr.. Clews.
"Wwell, while you were about it.

Travers and asked for suggestion
as to the character he could best rep,

Deafness Cannot be Cured.

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear. There
is only one way to cure Deafness and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube
When this tube is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation can be
taen out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an inhamed
condition of the mucous surfaces.

Douglas Island news., 1908-05-27

No wonder the powers that be at Washington entertain the belief that Alaska is not ready for self-govern- ment and that Alaskans are unfit to govern themselves. The recent con- vention at Ketchikan where the dele. gates quaweled like cats and dogs, accused each other of treachery and finally split up and nominated two sets of delegates is e7idence that the republican party of Alaska is dominat- ed by bunch of political novices who, before coming North, could not have been elected delegates to even a Sun day school convention. The Congres. sionaI delegate from Alaska does not evgN have a vote in congress and yet from the roar and rowing carried on in Alaska as to his personnel, it would seem that he is the most important individual at Washington.

s Seyald Tarkelson, miner (N has again crowded himself into print, and Che humility of his fearful plaint is really amusing. After he, as. one of the salaried leaders of the organization known as the Douglas branch of the Western Federation of Miners, has led those who trusted in him into an ill., advised and untimely strike that has proved disastrous in every way, he now falls back on his own perverted yer sion of the scriptures to bolster up what may have been his theories of the labor problem. That, and the rest of his hypocritical cant about when his Rorefathers fought in the battles of Ghe revolution, must be great nourish- nent to those poor fellows whom he has induced to give up good jobs, and that at time when jobs are scarce. The screed needs no answering. Any man who can read print can see how thin it is. Our friend Tarkelson has tackled class of literature that is be- yond him.

The Candidates

Delegate Gale has yielded to the importunities of his friends and will again be a candidate. This rather complicates matters so that it is hard to predict the outcome with any degree of assurance that the prophecy will be anywhere near the mark. MT. Gale will rely on his record to get him some votes, which it will undoubtedly do, for he has beeG an indefatigable worker and has shown results, in spite of the vigorous opposition he has met with. la the opinion of those who dis like Hoggatt, Gale has fought good fight.
 Candidate Corson has gone into the race for the delegatship with deter imitation to win, and will carry bis campaign into all parts of the district. He will no doubt poll most of the re- publican vote, although not all. As an ayowed advocate of territorial gov ernment he will gather strength, but be may also lose some who should and would otherwise be his friends. He is a vigorous and convincing, speaker, and his appearance on the stamp will count in his favor. If be should be able to reconcile the disafected branch of his party his chances of election would be materially increased.
 Roman, the democratic candidate is backed by an undivided party, and there is a strong suspicion that when party lines are drawn in Alaska the dem ocrats will outnumber their republican opponents. Roman is one of the suc- eessful miners of the North, has gone seeking for gold and has found it. He has many warm friends in the valley of the Panama who will farther his cause. However, the three-cornered element of the contest has bearing here, and it is natural to suppose that those men who rolled up the big vote for Gale in 1906 will not all desert bim now.
