The bull moose cause and the wo-
mans suffrage cause seem to have
suffered impartially in the recent elec.
ton In Michigan. In spite of Colonel
Roosevelt's personal part in the cam
paign and his strident demand for the
defeat of the Republican candidates
for the supreme bench, the state
which gave Roosevelt 10000 plurality
last fall turned deaf ear to his plead
ings this spring and elected the men
he denounced. The woman's suffrage
amendment seems to have been
crushingly defeated. 1t is not impos-
sible that the influence,of the militant
movement in England had some eff
feet on this result in Michigan. The
historical and irresponsible quality
exhibited by the ,suff-agists across
the sea has not been OF a character
to commend the feminine plea for the
ballot. even among male friends and
well wishers who heretofore have
been disposed to look kindly upon
women's aspirations for enfranchise-
ment.

PEACE DAY.

Peace Day viii be widely celebrat-
ed in schools throughout the United
States this year Although introduced
but few years ago, this special
day in behalf of international peace
is now regularly celebrated in many
American schools, and the indications
are that its observance this year win
be extended to thousands more. Since
May Is, the day set aside as Peace
Day, falls on Sunday, the school will
probably hold their exercises on the
nearest school day
Realizing the growing Importance
of the peace movement among school
children, the United States bureau of
education has just issued a Peace
Day bulletin for 1913 containing,
besides suggested program for the
day, number of interesting short
articles on different phases of the
international peace movement ac-
.curate and comprehensive informa-
ton about the various organizations
working for peace, and a collection
Iof appropriate poems and prose QUO
taions by famous peace lovers of
many nations. The material was
compiled for the bureau by Mrs.
Fannie Fern Andrews, secretary of
the American School Peace League.
and a world-known worker for peace.

The Would-Be Dictator.

In some old town-not far away,
There was chap, the people say,
Who grand dictator" tried to be.
In his opinion He alone
Could name for Office every one
That would do service there, you
see.
And if for once the people would
Not heed his wish. and boldly stood
For men Of their own selection,
Alas Wild the dictator got.
Mud bullets in senseless rage he shot
To right and left, without discre-
ton.
And when some chap OF his own tribe
Outside of town would take his
bribe,
And help him spread his ugly mire:
Then he accused the best of town
OF having run the city down"
And called them names Of i'll desire.
Thus, indeed. to the fair OLD town
He proved menace, tearing town
Good name and fame, the work of
years.
But Nemesis" got after him,
And then-O Jamie, Jimmy JIM,

The foreign trade of the United
States for March did not compare
well with the trade during March,
1912, according to the Bureau of For
eign and Domestic Commerce. Both
imports and exports during the month
fell off and were decidedly less than
for the same month year ago. How
ever. the imports last month were
larger than those of the same month
of any preceding year, except 1912
and 1910, while the exports exceeded
those Of any month with the single
exception of March, 1912.

CONSUMPTION OF SUGAR.

About one-fifth of the entire world
output Of sugar is required to supply
the demand in the United States, nos
approximately 100000 tons. or a lit
tie less than S,000,o 100000 pounds an
nually.. This represents a fourfold in
crease in generation. 1t may also
be noted that present prices of the
commodity are about half what they
We're thirty-five years .ago. 1t is tue
that a part of this enormous increase
in consumption is attributable to the
increase in the numbers of consumers.
but while.the estimated 100000 peo-
pie in the country In 1857 consumed
an average of forty-three pounds per
capita, the estimated 9s,000,00o of the
present time consume more than
eighty-one pounds.
Fortunately, sugar is a commodity
that can be produced In practically
limitless quantity. 1t is merely a
question of demand and of a reason
able profit ON its production. 1t is
purely product OF the rain and sim
shine. and neither the cane nor the
beet, as far as their sugar content is
concerned, take anything from the
soil in which they are grown. By con
tinuous planting, the soil In which the
cane and the beet are grown reaches
a condition known to soil chemists
as tired" the plant gets smaller and
less vigorous, but it goes on forming
cucrose as long as the sun shines on
it and the rain falls on it.

THE SONG OF OUR KIND.


From end to end and rim to rim,
The vast world breathes the self
same hymn.
The notes are loud or hushed or low;
The song abides, the singers go.
The stars of night and sun of day
Shine on the harps that ever play.
The burden of our song is brave
The music of lifes ebbing wave.
The hope is tremulous deaths head
A-nodding time till time is fled.
Our hands clasp true, and from their
The chords dispense their tuneful gold.
And now melody of days,
And endless days, and planning ways,
And finding means, and filing dreams,
And reaping fields, and watching
streams,
And catching bliss-that earth-coy
bird,
Gone ere the twig breaks sound is
heard
And now throb of sledge and steel,
OF thunder breaking peal and peal.
The anvil's clash, the stroke of Drawn
The clatter of the steeds OF dawn,
The Shuttle of this mortal COLL
The scurry of the tread of toll.
And then quiet lullaby,
A bay where ships at harbor lie,
A cemetery of the rose,
A sleeping ground of fallen SHOWS,
A shealing still, silent toll
A Requiescat OF the soul

POST-INTELLIGENCER PUTS
 OK. ON THE SHUSHANA
-O-O

Sufficient time has elapsed since the earlier reports of the great placer strikes on the Shushana for full and exact information to be received from that country; not the conjecturers of boomers, but the stories told by Alas ka miners of long experience to their friends of similar experience, who have not yet. gone to the country. These stories, without exception, fully con- firm the original statements that the new district is the very best which has been opened in the great northern territory and promises to fall but little short of the Klondike discoveries, which excited the whole world six teen years ago.
 The extent of the district is, of course, unknown at present Pay, and big pay, has been found on several of the creeks. The ground is shallow, the distance to bedrack small, and in every respect the Shushana seems to be a poor mans camp in which, mere ly at the expense of labor and with small equipment, the ground pays very shortly after work commences.
 It is not likely, nor is it at all de sirable, that this new strike will re- suit in starting into Alaska any such horde of adventurers as those who made the first rush to the KlOndike, a great majority of whom were poorly equipped for the undertaking before them. The appeal of the new district will be largely to the old Alaskans, the men who know exactly what they are going up against and who are pre- pared to deal with any situation which cOnfronts them, It is on that very ac- count that the district promises best. The claims will be taken by practical men, and worked for them. For oth- CTS there will be the unusual oppOr- tunities which come in the sudden ere ation of a lively town at some conven- tent point in the new mining district. Seattle Post-lntelligencer

 WRITES OF SITkA

Sitka is the most unique and inter esting place in Alaska. It is, indeed, the most dinstinctive little city on the American cOntinent-an antique, rich in romance and history, and singuarly attractive
 When the tourists of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce, an early morn ing late in June, caught first glimpse of Sitka they were, one and all. capti- vated by it's charms at once. Here was picture worth travelling miles to see. Diminutive islands, of odd, but sym metrical formation, dot the harbor. Covered with mOsses, trees and flow CTS, they are most pleasing to the eye. Back of Sitka. which is built on the west coast of Baranoff island, rise ma jestic mountains. The immediate en- virOument. in midsummer, because of the luXuriant growth of grasses mOsses and flowers. present an almost tropical scene Over 800 kinds of wild flowers have been found on Baranoff
 Sitka in it's makeup is more Russian than American. One hundred years ago (fOunded in 1799-1S00) it was an i'm pOrtant Russian trading station and manufacturing town. and developed as a commercial port of the Pacific. It was then called New ArChangeL But Russian enterprises which gave the city it's early growth ultimately waned and failed. and Sitka dwindled to a mere Indian village Thus it remained until the United States purchased Alaska in 1867. Then Sitka began to thrive again. It became the capital and a port of entry. and was later made a naval coaliug station Now it has two graded schools. several churches. a museum, a training school for the In- dians. and number of industries which supply local needs and furnish trade with the adjacent islands The government experimental farm is To- Cated just outside the town.
