Organized Opposition
to Woman Suffrage

/ tions for their life-work. And lastly because they
know that what the American woman needs IS W.
to abolish her privileges. but to accept her respon'
sibilities-and political activity is not one OF he'
rcsponsibilities-not 20 increase her responsibilities,
but TO make her fulfill moro ably those she already
has. -
Just a word us to the personnel of the leaders OF
tho opposition. Il They are all educated and progress
sive women and there is not a movement for the
betterment OF society, for the advancement OF man
kind that they are not interested in and giving OF
their time and strength and means to forward. For
instance, tho president of one State Association,
known to the writer, has served for a score Of years
on the state board of lunacy and charity, in her
home State, was one Of the first two women over
seers OF the poor ever elected in that State, which
position she held for. twenty-five years, and for
manv years she has been on the Board Of Direc-
tors Of a large public hospital. While yet another
officer on her board is known all over the country
for her determined campaign for pure milk; another
is chairman of the sanitation department OF the
Woman's Municipal League and led the fight against
the typhoid fly; yet another has been q leader III
the Consumers League work from Its beginning as
well as the District Nursing Association; announcer
is identified with temperance and literary WORN
while yet another is interested in the management
of the WoInan's Welfare Department OF the Natloha'
Civic Federation, and is on the board of manage
ment of a Home for Working Women, a Home Tor
lncurables, a Woman's Free Hospital, all Industrial
School for Crippled Children, and a trustee, OF a Tree
library. There arc a host of others whose names
and influence are Il power for good the world over,
but these suffice to show that the accusation ii
allied with the low and vicious elements of society"
is absolutely false. ..t.. +-
These antisuffrage women know. that II they were
to take part in partisan strife, their present dlsln'
terestcd position-entirely outside of polltlcs-woulo
be lost and the special power and value of their
work be destroyed. These workers for the common
good have learned, in the words of a great Eng''sh
social worker, Miss Violet Markham, that while the
sufragists may assert that the possession OF the Votc
is the symbol of liberty, the wiser women viii
consider that its absence is the symbol OF some
thing even greatcr-the symbol of disintorested ser
vice.

Public Servants and Service

It is mentioned that Senator Bacon's estate con-
psists of an u~nincumbered home and a select library
the provision of a student busy with public affairs
on an intellectual plane. He was many years in
Office, and had numberless opportunities, Of course,
to make money, but. like Agassiz, found other use
for his time.
This honorable record does not stand alone in pres
ent.day politics, but it is another refutation of the
charge that money alone talks" in that field. The
race is not always to the INSCRIPTIONS, nor the hon.
ors for boodls. There is graft enough, all must
confess, but it is not allpervading. Neither have
rich men the "call' on seats in the high places.
Brains and character still count at a fattering valu-
alton. .."-. ."..".. H#am-
Mr.. Bacon had just entered on his fourth term
running in the Senate. AS he had no fortune, he
could not have obtained his first seat by the use of
money aud as he accumulated no money in office,
he must have maintained himself there purely by
merit. His latest election called for no exertion on
his part at all. He simply left his case in the hands
of the people. he. had. served and who knew him.
Neither did he find a fortune necessary to his hap.
.piness or usefulness in Washington. Here, as at
home, he stood upon his equipment as a public SER
want and: his merits as a man, and won full recogni.
ton. His place was among the first, both In official
and social life, and he was an influence for the best
in both walks. - ~. ~ -

ways. But they held on courageously to, the funda.
mentals, and were not submerged by a single tide
that rose in their long day. They worked hard in
the public behalf; began poor and ended poor; and
no American Senators of their period were more
respected, or exerted 3 better influence on public
affairs. And there were, and are, others,
1t Is a good thing to nab and expose political graft

IS no justification for the pessimism that rails at
our present political state as being wholly corrupt,

instrument Of all.-Washington Star.

by tho government efficiently, and at no very ex-
brilliant cost. This might have been doubted five
years. ago. Dut the. uill provides for the building
under the same kind Of organization as has built
the Panama canal. A part Of the organization and
machinery Of the Panama operations will, in fact, be
transferred. to Alaska for this work. The system that
built the canal will not fail In the comparatively
simple undertaking Of laying a railroad. Anybody
knows that. .a :
Whether the road can he operated as success
fully and as cheaply by the government is another
question. 1t is one of the merits of this innovation
that it will afford a basis Of comparison between II
public and a privately owned and managed railroad.
The cost of building and of operation of the Alaskan
road, and the skill with which it is adapted to the
country which it serves, will be subjects OF close
study Us the experiment proceeds. This will be the
first time Uncle Sam has had a chance to measure
efficiency with captains of industry in the field Of
railroad transportation
The Sacramento Bee quotes the following from a
speech delivered by Representative Brumbough OF
Ohio, describing conditions in Alaska:
1T has a climate as varied as that Of Texas and
Dakota, while it holds in its great area the greatest
gold and copper mines and coal fields on earth and
waits to house and home millions OF American citi-
zens. It's climate is more inviting, its soil more pro-
ductive, with more acres Of farm lands, than that OF
Norway, Sweden or Finland, which house and home
more than 100000 of the earth's hardest, healthi-
est people. r.
The rivers abound with valuable fish; ne.lalf
OF the worlds supply Of salmon comes from Alaska.
On account of the Japan current, the valleys have the
same climate as the northern parts of the United
States or Canada. The summers there are long
enough to permit the crops to ripen nicely: The win
ters of the interior valleys are about like the Dako-
taS or Minnesota and adiOininy Canada tlaSka'a
great river, the Yukon, is ~navigable more than 1900
miles and is said to discharge onc-third more water
than the Mississippi. The Tanana river is the Ohio
river Of Alaska. Alaska has more coal in her hills
than Pennsylvania, CHIC and the virginias; more
copper than Montana and Arizona; more gold than
California and Colorado; more tin than Wales; more
fish than, the balance of the waters OF America :

The Alaskan RQilWQu

By the terms of q bill which passed the Senate,
IS to 16, and the House $50 to 81, the President is
to build and operate a railroad in Alaska, at a cost
of $35;O00y00O.
THE road" says the Lawrence, Mass, Sun, lis to
run 1000 miles from the coast into the rich coal
and mineral bearing districts of the territory.
This is the greatest purely commercial enter
prise ever intrusted solely to the President. He is.
to select the route, fix the t%own.sites, locate switches
and spurs, superintend construction, provide equip
ment, establish rules and rates, and finally, he is to
operate the road himself or lease it for twenty years,
or fewer, as he pleases.
In undertaking SO heavy a responsibility the Pres.
ident will naturally go to the Engineer Corps OF
the army for his iieutenants. What that accomplish
ed body has done at Panama under tAe direction Of
Col. Goethals is we'll known. No doubt, similar
triumphs await some of its MEMBER in the Far
North" " .r
# The Providence Evening Bulletin points out that
the road shall be financed out of q bond issue in.
stead of from cash on hand. This is an advantage in
bookkeeping. Holders of bonds collect interest. The
new railroad will be expected to earn its interest,
or If 1t does not do so the charge is always In
evidence on the ledger page displaying tile capital
account with the road.
THE engineers may find that the $35, 100000 will
go further, give more shipping and travel facilities

There is a fresh instance of government laundering
in Canada where SAC, 100000 more than was neces-
