The habit Of feeling rich because
you have developed the faculty of ex-
tracing wealth from everything you
touch Is riches, indeed. Why should
we not feel rich in all that our eyes

WARNS WORKMEN
 ID STAY AWAY

TACOMA. April 9.-In his address last evening Governor Strong warned workmen against rushing to Alaska at present hoping to find work there. He stated that there were hundreds of idle men in Juneau and that the number was constantly increasing. He believed that when the government began operations on the railroads that there would be work for all, but at the present time there were more than enough unemployed men to fill all the positions offered.
 Governor Strong also expressed the opinion that tremendous rush would take place to the north during the next few years owing to the nation wide attention which had been at tracted to the resources of Alaska.

TACOMA, April 9.-Tacoma cele- brated the passage of the Alaska railroad bill last night by monster parade and reception to Governor Strong. Nearly one thousand autos, gaily decorated, formed in line and naraded to the Federal building, where Governor Strong delivered {, brilliant address.
 Hundreds of Alaskans now make Tacoma their home and their number was augmented by scores of north erners who are visiting in the Puget Sound cities awaiting the opening of navigation before starting north.
 Governor Strong prophesied bril- liant future for the northland and urged Tacoma to form closer connec- tions in order that it might secure its full share of the prosperity which was bound to follow the development of the resources of Alaska. It is esti- mated that more than 50,000 people listened to the address.

EQUAL SUFFRAGE-NORT AND
 SOUTH.

Senator Borah's declaration that there can be no national legislation providing for equal suffrage, unless the Fifteenth amendment to the Con- stitttion is repealed, expresses con- yiction very generally held in the South and which is being shared by a constantly increasing number or Northern men and women who have taken the pains to acquaint the1n- selves with franchise conditions in the Southern states.
 The disfranchisement of negro male voters has required all the legal skill the Southern states possess and they are not inclined to complicate the problem further by wholesale addl- tions to the electorate. Southern wo- men have been progressing rapidly along lines of independent thinking and acting, but many of the leaders among them hesitate to support any legislation which would extend the franchise to the negro women. Southern men, particularly the polit-- ical leaders, fear that the enactment of a national law, granting the fran chise to women would lead to eff forts to enforce the Fifteenth amend roent, which has been evaded by spe- cial enactments in most of the South ern states.
 Whatever action may be taken by congress in submitting an equal sui frage amendment to the Constitu- ton, il is certain that enough South ern states would register in the neg ative to prevent it's ratification by the required three -fourths votes of all the states. The Virginia legislature has just defeated woman's suffrage bill ny an almost unanimous vote and Vir- sinia's attitude on the question may be taken as fairly representative of the sentiment in other Southern states.
 Equal suffrage is in fair way to win another distinctive victory in the North. The Massachusetts senate has gone on record by d vote of 32 10 in favor of striking the word male from the State Constitution. This is a remarkable victory, when it is re- membered that the proposition has been before tie Massachusetts senate annually for many years and has usu ally been defeated without debate or the formality of roll call. It is expected that the measure will be passed by the lower house of the Massachusetts legislature without much opposition. The victory shows that the Massachusetts senate is talk ing cognizance of public opinion. Fix.

THE DOWNWARD TREND OF FOOD
 PRICES.

The decline in prices which is caus-- ing sigh of relief among consum- CTS and a sigh of discontent on the farms, is not confined to the United States. The London Statist says that a general fall occurred throughout the world in the year ending with the first of February. Furthermore it pre- diets additional declines in the flu ture, bringing some relief to the classes that have been distressed by the cost of living.
 A part of the decline in the United States may be fairly charged to the new tariff. In the world at large some other cause must be found. It is diff ticult to put ones finger on any par !icular thing and say with confidence that it caused the pendlum to begin to swing the other way. The easiest theory is to say that prices do swing like a pendulum and that the time has arrived for the return movement.

PELICAN SWALLOWS
 TWO PET PIGEONS
Birds Rescued Alive by Gen.
 traI Park Zoo Keeper.

New York.-A highly excited young
 woman ran into the office of Bill Shy der, head animal keeper at Central
 park.
 He saw the look of terror on her face
 and wondered if d lion had broken
 loose. He demanded, Whats the trouble:" "The pelican" she Sllrieked "The pelican!" Whats the matter with the peli- can:" Snyder asked. Whats it done?'' "The pelican! It's swallowed two pigeons! I just saw it swallow them. Come quickly. It might swallow some
 more of them.'' Snyder laughed.
 That happens about twice mnnth." said he.
 But the poor birds What will be-
 come of them:" The girl was almost SObbinE.
 Come with me-" Rill said soothing ly. and I'll show you what becomes of the poor birds.'' He led the way to the cage where
 the pehcans and other great billed birds are kept. Snyder was joined by other keepers. and the cage was surrounded. Sure enough q pelican's immense bill was bulging out as though the bird had swallowed q football. Are you ready?" called Snyder.
 "All ready" replied the other keep, CTS.
 "El Capitan. El Capitan" shouted the keepers until the park echoed with
 their cries. Fl Capitan. who was the pelican. opened his bill and a pigeon flew out. "Goody. goody" screamed the girl. Again the keepers shouted. "El CaM- tan. Fl Capitan." Again the pelican glanced around and opened his bill. A second pigeon huttrred out and flew
 away.
 The girl c,apprd her hands with joy and asked: Aren't they hurt: Why aren't they hurt:"
 That's easy" answered Snyder. ''You See the feathers are dry. aud a bird cannot swallow a dry. feathery substance. That pelican tries to gulp those pigeons SO often they're getting used to it. All we have to do when he tries it is to frighten him by shouting
 his name as loud as we can. That
 makes him open his mouth." The amazed girl left the park. Its true as gospel" said Snyder afterward. 'Up to date that pelican's never swallowed any of our pigeons. and I don't think he'll succeed very soon either" r

The three parties in the Denmark parliament have reached an agree ment which insures radical enlarge ment of the franchised population of the nation. All property qualifications for voters will be abolished and suf- frage will be granted to women. The victory is due almost entirely to the activity of the women who have been making determined effort to obtain the enactment of an election reform bill. The women of Denmark con- ducted their campaign without any of the methods employed by the mili- tants of Great Britain. They appealed to the intelligence of the men in and out of office and their victory is a re- buke and a lesson to the British work CTS for equal suffrage.
