That the Southern Pacific people have

in her behalf by the United States

Where woman has been tried she has not been found wanting; be it by the side of the hearth, at the sick bed, in heading great uplift move mcnts, or even on the battlefield when conditions required her presence there.
 The men were no braver than the women when the ill-falcd Iii tanic went to the bottom. In past ages they faced the funeral pyrc, the hcadman's axe and the glib bet as stOically as man. The on ly sound reason we can give why women have not in times past had the franchise, is because man, in his infinite cgotism, has deemed himself q superior being. It is to be hoped the Alaska home rule bill which will become law some day will contain the cause en- franchising women.

WORTHY OF REFLECTION.

Too many well thinking and disposed citizens have been caught by the political philos- nphy taught by the Socialists to catch the unwary, without going into the real inwardnrSS of the movement. The action of the Washington stale Socialist con Vcntion in hoOting out of their hall the mover of a resolution to place the American flag on the rOstrum, and his subsequent cx- pulSiOn from the party, wa. no uncalculatcd move, but on the contrary was in line with the we'll defined determination tO over throw the government when the power t0 do SO comes tO their hands. Only four years ago Vie tor l.. Berger. HOW member of congress, in the social Herald of July 2l, 1909, wrote under his own si"naiurr:

The passage by the house of tue Valdez dike bill assures the town safety from future ravagcs of the glacial floods. It will do more than that. Citizens of Val dcZ, unlike the inhabitants of most Alaska towns, call this place home; here they raise their fam lilies; it is here they have de- marked the battlefield of their lives.

lt is hardly proper to class inc wave" any more than any of the great questions which have in times past been placed before the American people. Woman's suf- issue for half century, making slow but steady hcadway until one after another of the states have given woman the franchise. The arguments made on behalf of women being given voting priv ilcgcs arc irrrfutablc and must sooner or later prevail over an opposition whose grounds are untenable.
 The man who argues that his wifc's place is in the kitchen pro- claims himself married 10 cook with the sole object and ambition of seeing the mother of his chil- dren remain a cook. The other fellow who insists that women have not the intellectual power io decide public questions, taciI- ly admits that he is gifted with but half his fathers brains, be- ing his mothers son as well as his fathers. Enc fact is, as shown in history, all our great est men have taken their mental powers from the maternal side their physique from the patcr- nal.
