WOMEN'S SUFFRAGE FAVORED

It seems now that the women of all parts of the United States will be granted the right to vote. committee of the house of represen- tatives in Washington, few days ago, reported favorably for a bill providing for national suffrage 10 women, and there is evident gen eral favor among tie lawmakers at the national capital for the mea- sure.
 Every one realizes that t can only be but matter of time be fore the women of the country will be enjoying the full political privileges now allowed to men. aad when the matter is viewed without prejudice, it's justness is apparent
 If women are not granted na- tional suffrage at this session 0. congress, it will come al q later session, for so many of the states have adopted it that it's popular favor has been assured.
 It was noticeable that the day after the house committee in Wash. ington filed it's report favorable 10 women's suffrage. the house of lords of England voted down wom- ems suffrage bill, the vote beia% l04 against suffrage and 60 for T. From this il seems that the de mand for the ballot that has been made so consistently by the won en of England will not be granted soon. The reason for this is eyi- dent. The women of that countY adopted wrong tactics in their cam paign for suffrage.
 Some time in the future the won en of England will realize theit mistake, and taking notice of the success of their American sisters, they will become tactitul in deal ing with the legislative powers of their country. When the time comes that they will use reason and not force to back up their demands for political equality, the women Of Ems land will get the recognition that they want, and not before.
 IL is safe to predict that it will be but a matter of few years un- til nearly all the civilized nations of the world will give women an equal right with men in political matters, and when that is accom- plished, the effort for political bet terment everywhere will be stim- ulated.

PENSIONS FOR MOTHERS.

People throughout the country are watching with much interest the ap, Rlication of the Mothers Pension law. recently adopted in California. lhe purpose of the law is to pro
 ide needy widows who are mothers with state aid and the allowance % be given a mother depends upon he number of children she must upport.
 The law was adopted at tie last -ession of the California legislature md has been effective only for a few months. The chief objection made to the law was that it would provide opportunity for people 10 gain state funds through dishonest representations. But care was talk en in drafting the measure to make [ proof, as far as possible, against abuses.
 If there is any person entitled to state aid, il is a widowed mother, Vho has no source of revenue, eX- ept her own earnings. It has long been recognized that the state las t great responsibility in the bring ng up of new generations, and il his is true. then the mothers who 3re unable to bring their children ID properly should be given finan- sial aid.
 One of the difficulties of the law IS that it will naturally have ten lency to draw to California women who would sooner or later become subject to the provisions of the measure, and thus an unjust burden may be imposed upon the taxpayers of the state. If the law could be made general, and all states be re quired to give equal aid to their respective mothers, it would seem to be an ideal provision.

 When one stops To realize that Alaska is more than oncfiIth tae area of the rest Of the United States and that in all that Fast territory there are only about 6ae84 people. the possibilities for deveI- apment are at once made evident
 In a recent issue of the Dawson News appeared some statistics which showed the great wealth and popu- lltion of other countries of the world which are as far north as Alaska. A part of the News article was as follows:
 Official reports show that the European and Asiatic countries north of the sixtieth parallel have the following population;
 Finland ..........2,336,00o
 Russia ............ S36,oo0
 NOGlN OI bt4t iAtN N-SANtiA t'di 'ttifIt sweden has five million people. with over four million acres cultivated in cereals. Norway north of the fifty eighth parallel, has TWO million pop ulation. with 100000 acres cultigat- ed The province of Nolosda, Rus sia. north of fifty-eight. has l.500 GOO people. with 1,60oo0o acres culti yated. Archangel. Russia. has 4oe,- 0o0 people: and olonetz, 22,6eo people. and have as extensive areas cultivated in proportion as other regions mentioned. These countries also are raising millions of horses, cattle, sheep, hogs. goats and rein deer

People who want to get ''on the ground floor" of Alaska's new era of prosperity, are headed this way, and it is safe to predict that with in one year from the present time the population of this Territory will be wonderfully increased
 In the past, people came to Al aska simply to make fortunes in a hurry and to get out. Now they are coming for new purpose-that is, to make their home here. There is always a desire on the part of many people to go to new undevel- oped countries with the idea that they will grow up with them. There is an opportunity of that kind for people in Alaska now, and they are coming here for the purpose of get

WHAT FAIRBANKS NEEDS.

Recent actions ol the city council indicate that the members are striy- mE To work for the very best in .erests Of the city, and they should be -,eu eacouragmeut i'll all their euou-.
 Ii t.e councilmen carry out their present plans. the city will be freed from debt within a year, and by the following year there will be little affiu-. it can be expected, for some ol the various needed improve #gate. such as the grading of the Important streets and the improve HeHt oi tbe fiFe-fIghting equipment
 One of the most important .aia-s that the city needs now is he Ie-aI power to sell bonds for providing public utilities. Nearly all eIles have the ris.t 10 sell bonds equal 10 a certain percentage of .heir respective assessed valuations This power could be granted Fair banks by congress, if the latter z properly urged to grant it.
 should the new council and the
 commercial club cooperate in an ef- a5,t 10 get congress 10 grant such power 10 the city, il is probable hat good results would be realized. 5ut nothing can be done until some 5ody takes the initiative. Il is up either 10 the council or the Com Herci5I club 10 pass q resolution 5r d memorial 10 congress and to get otuer civic organizations to do he same, asking for the right to zzae limited amount of bonds.
 + is one thing to issue bonds and mother to lind buyer for them. To insure their sale, much care must be taken in the legal formality which permits the city to sell them, l0r if there is any serious technical ty in the granting of such power, he bonds may be invalidated, and he purchasers would lose their mon ey Thus it Is safer 10 get congress 10 grant that right than to have il granted by the territorial legisla- are. the powers of which have Jeeu seriously questioned.
 TeIeg1aphie news from Dawson in forms Us that that city has adopted l new charter, which will give the Ify the right to dispose of bonds
 The Dawson people have been .ooHIu- forward to this for some time, for they have realized that without the right to sell bonds the progress Of their city must be ma efially handicapped The city of Fairbanks has a brighter future than Dawson or any other northern city and it's citizens must actively be looking forward to the city's early needs in order to be prepared to grant them.
