RECORD CLIMB
 ID MT. DEWEY

From the pinacle of Dewey's heights,
 Receiving the Suns first kiss at
 morn,
 Old Glory flaunts her stars and
 stripes
 And at night, Aurora's flames adorn.
 Last evening at fifteen minutes past : o'clock, Fred Cliff and Frank Grandson, accompanied by three Sig. nal corps men, started for the top of Mount Dewey, where 1t was their in- tention to place Old Glory that the visitors from over the line might be. hold it far above the Union Jack.
 A number of Skagway residents being cognizant that the attempt was being made, watched eagerly for some sign that would indicate that the party had reached the summit, and their watchfulness was rewarded.
 Exactly at ten minutes after 10 o'clock, from the very apex of the mountain there arose high above the peak q bright rocket, and by this sign, they knew that the stars and stripes would look down upon the celebration of anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Inde- pendence.
 The little party, tired and worn, arrived at the place of starting at i2:45, having made the round trip in the remarkably short time of five and one-half hours.
 The flag was put up in a secure manner, and there is hopes that it will remain until the storms of win ter succeed in taring it from its faStenings.
 The flag which was placed on the Mount last summer by Bob Sheldon was found to have been blown down, and though a little the worse for the hard treatment which had been given it by the past severe winter, was still recognizable as "The Stars and Stripes"

Two Sides of Woman Suffrage
BY MRS. BARCLAY HAZARD

This whole question OF the extension
OF the suffrage To women is one for
calm and deliberate statesmanship. IL
has TO be looked at from MI sides In
the clear, cold light of common sense.
Instead of that. its advocates adop.
rather the tactics of a revival meet
ing and make fervent appeals to senti-
ment, on the one side, and what they
call class feeling" OH the other. The
sunragists accuse US OF being undem-
ocratic because we oppose their
views; but what could be more un-
American, more undemocratic than
this talk OF classes? Glasses. What
have we to do with classes I'm the
United States? Nothing. Glasses ex.
list only in the minds OF those who
think they can advance themselves or
their cause by creating an antagonism
which has no foundation In reality.
| We women feel that our work In the
world Is all that We can do well, and
that TO add political burdens and civic
duties 20 all our other cares Is an In
Justice. Why should the average
Woodworking woman be dragged into
partisan politics just because a few
| rich ambitious women would find
politics a new diversion? Not all the
suffragists belong TO this class. Many
sincerely believe that black will be.
come white when women vote. but
there is no doubt about II that much
of the present suffrage agitation Is
artificial and is kept alive by large
campaign contributors.
The suffragists promise the wage

and they know IT, fortunately. the
working woman knows it, too, and
cannot be beguiled in that way. At a
recent meeting of working girls

they would get the ballot the wages

A clear-headed girl in the audience

il would be misfortune for the won,-

they married and left the ranks of
wage-earners. Now this girl knew
more about social economies than did

The state does not want the votes

ready enough partisan voters. What
the state needs is the disinterested
work OF intelligent citizens--citizens

there can be no snacow OF a doubt.
Such service to the state Is today be.
ing given by women all over the com.

present political status, knowing we'll
that through the independence IL gives
