stopped, hardly breathing, to look over
his shoulder at the door that had been
left unfastened. An involuntary ques-
ton flashing through his brain-the
cause of this seeming carelessness-
found almost immediate answer in his
mind, and the certainty that he stood
not there alone-a consciousness Of
some one else, near, became abruptly
confirmed.

voice, rough, snarling, drew swiftly his
glance toward a presence, intuitively
OWNED; an understood, grotesque fig

few moments before and now appeared
from behind boxes and casks where
he had been about to retire to his

JUNEAU SHOULD BE REPRESENT ED IN THE AMERICAN MIN
 ING CONGRESS

THE organization of a branch of
 the American Mining Congress in
 Juneau should come as a matter of course. It is the largest and, com mercially speaking, the most infuen- tial organization of mining men in the country. It takes up and considers many phases of the business of ex- tracting values from the earth that are of vital interest to all of those that are engaged in that work. And, above everything else, Juneau is a mining city. That is it's chief industry. It is the metropolis of one of the larg- est gold camps of the world, and the developments that are under way promise that in a few years it will be- come the largest and greatest of them all. Those who are making it such cannot afford to go longer without rep resentatiou in an organization of the scope of the American Mining Con- gress.

POSSIBILITIES OF WOMAN SUE

-O-O

THE granting of the suffrage to
 women in 50 many of the States
 of the Union is a circumstance frought with wonderful possibilities. The greatest of them is that which it opens up for the characterization of society. Nothing counts quite so much for equalizing all as universal suff- rage. There is one place that the workman and the man of leisure, the poor and the rich are on an equality Give every man and every woman a ballot destroy the political power heretofore exercised by the union be- tween special privilege seekers of high and low degree and the bossed political machines and the first, long step toward making all people equal in society as we'll as before the law will have been taken.
 And, after all, that is the real is sue in this country Governments are for people above everything else. They accomplish their purpose best when they make men and women happy and healthy and give them opportunity to give expression to the best that is within them.
 It IS we'll within reason to hope that the granting of votes to the mothers of the next generation of Americans will provide a direct avenue to the desired end in government in this country. It will afford common ground upon which women can meet on an equal basis. become acquaint- ed with each other and form the ties that Secretary Lane had in mind the other day when he said to those wom- en of San Francisco:
 Human sympathy should be the basis of success among you women, welding together women of every class, bettering the institutions men created and lessening human misery"
 Improved conditions in this country cannot be brought about through char itable institutions. Settlement houses and places of refuge serve good pur- poses. They save many from perish ing through the inequalities of condi- tiOns, but are not the institutions that appeal to the best instincts that are in their beneficiaries.
 The girls that are called from the country towns and the farm to the city to make their own way in the world bring with them an independence of spirit that does not harmonize with charity. or cOndecension or patroniz- ing. They can be saved for useful purposes and prepared to make good wives and mothers only by being treated in such manner as will make them feel that they are a part of the community and of the best that there is in it.
