THE woMgN's LOBBY.

Down in the state of Washington there are large number of iutellt. gent and refined women who take au interest in politics and who think they are entitled to vote. It is not necessary here to enter into a discussion of the pros and cons ot the female suffrage question. Suffice it to say these women urge that they are fully as intelligent as many of the male electorate-which no one will gaiusay; that many of them are tax payers and that taxation without representation is glaring injustice; and that all things considered the power to vote conferred upon them would be beneficial to both them and the state.
 Instead Of tamely waiting until the natural course of events gives women the ballot-as We think it inevitably will-these energetic women have rented a handsome residence at Olym pia and are maintaining a lobby dur. ing the legislative session. Legisla. tors are invited to dinner and after the inner man has been contented by plauked porterhouse steaks and pota- toes au grautin. with all the trim miugs. some charming women will pour seductive arguments in their ears auent the suffrage question.
 Evidently this method of lobbying is rather effective. for there is al. ready decided sentiment in favor Of granting women the ballot among the younger and unmarried members of the Olympia legislature

EXHIBIT
 AT THE A.-Y.-P.

SEATTLE, Jan. 3O,-HeadQuarters of tue Alaska commission for the Al. aska.Yukcn.Paciac exposition have been established in Seattle and the work ot assembling the exhibit of the Northland will be commenced at once. Exhibits from all parts of Al, aska will soou begin to arrive in Seattle.
 All the work that could be done in the north has been accomplished, " said J. c. Mcbride, of the commis, sion. and the work Of assembling and preparing the exhibits will be finished in this city. feel justified in saying that Alaska will have many surprises for the visitors at the fair and the work of the special agents has been entirely satisfactory and even srpris. ing in many instances.
 The work of getting the Alaska exhibit really begins now for We will have it coming here shortly from every point in the north, and added what We have already got here'it will keep our staff busy receiving, classi. flying and putting the articles to. gether. In southeastern Alaska we have gone over the country from every point of view and will make a showing of the resources of that country that cannot be parallelcd.
 While there is yet much to re. ceiye from the north, our agents have reported so concisely on what to cx- pect that we can go ahead about as well as if it were in the preliminary work. We have a number of big ex- hibits to secure outside, such as private collections of birds and curioS and this will take up some of our time"
 Mrs. Mary E. Hart, special woman commissioner, has also returned from the north and will be associated with the commission in its work in this city.

A DUTY NOT UNDERTAKEN.

Someone has said that the United States undertakes almost every task but that of governing We fail to see the point. So far as governing Alaska is concerned. The United States has never undertaken the gov erument of this territory, so far as We are permitted to see. It is left to drag out Is destiny under the auto. cratic direction of three little grand dukes Of three big grand duchies The consent Of the people has noth- ing to do with the case; and the lapses Of government officials must be glaring indeed to compel the United States to interfere. And this is why We aver that the United States has never made any attempt to govern Alaska. as We understand the functions and duties which real government implies. It therefore should no. be accused Of something it does not assume.
 For tthe past ten years the United States has been so busy in learning how to "colonize" sundried islands of the Pacific, and acting as policeman for Cuba and other petty oHgarchies. that it has had neither time nor in. clinatiou to bother with Alaska.
 Alaska has always paid her own way; has never needed ''pacification" mot yet anyway-aud she must ap, pareutly work out her own salvation independently of governmental assist. ance-eucouragement even. But 1t is trying indeed to see a country of such magnificent promise-and dis tances-made the butt of such out, rageous tortuue.-Katalla Herald.

BUY THE FAIR GROUNDS
Y. NJ. c. A. Secretary Whitaker En-.
dorses the Plan to Buy Fair
Grounds for Public Park.

Mr.. Editor
l desire through the columns of
your public spirited paper to say
something in favor of Alderman
Michels' proposition of the city park.
The question Of public play
grounds is one that has come up in
late years in nearly every city of any
size in the large cities any size in
North America The statistics show
in the large cities that 90 per cent
of the business men are less then
two generations OF the farm, that
the marked difference between living
many hours a day out of doors and
that of spending many hours shut up
in a close Office is sending a great
many men in what ought to be the
prime of life to sanitariums. The
health of parents has its effect on
the children and is bringing on a
weaker race, SO this with many other
health destroying phases of city
life has caused men to set aside large
blocks of land making open spots in
our cities where men and women, as
we'll as children, could get out in the
open air and enjoy Gods out OF doors
without having to take an, excursion
to do it.
The question of play in the life
of children is a very important one.
There is not a public school ground
in u city large enough to permit
Of such games as baseball and rack
events, hammer throwing and such.
These field athletics are not only
good for the growing boy, but nee
cessary to the health of a city bow.
Not only should boys have a place
for their games but girls also. The
American woman is becoming a nery-
Gus wreck through lack of out door
games and girlhood and womanhood.
How much more of the outdoor life
the English girl and woman takes.
and the effect is very evident.
Now the idea of a park is a good
one, but as a park alone without
providing room for games and sports
would be a mistake l think. Plant
trees by all means and have plenty of
shade but leave open space sufficient
to carry out such field sports as are
generally in vogue. Swings and
teeters could be put up for children
in Sto cholo ~ ~ =, o,a. -.-
ground and park combined could be
made of it. hope the citizens will
favor such an idea and provide for
the need of the people in this way.
Yours truly,
Ed S. Whitaker.
