A CURE FOR PROTESTS

Victor Murdock who has gone abroad to the situation for himself. recommends after few days stay in England that visit to Europe is the best cure for anti preparedness views He expects to be confirmed in this view by his observations the continent, but he has enough to realize the determination of at least the peoples gagged in the to it through the finish and to be impressed with the futility unofficial peace moves.
 The Kansas progressive leader has had brought home to him what undoubtedly apparent even before he went abroad. that lack of preparedness has cost of the countries heavily and treasure. and he believes his fellow Americans should profit by the lesson learned Europe such terrible conditions It is true that both Eng land and France have demonstrated in marvellous fashion what democracy do to meet the gency when comes The result of a year eff fort toward putting the nations in shape has been of the astounding features of conflict filled with surprises. But what of the toll made necessary because of the delay?
 MT Murdock has declared himself for a proper program of national defense and is not particular under what administration it may be begun He has shown that he place what he believes needs of his country above partisanshp O personal aggrandizement. He wisely advised that we had better put house in order rather than try to impose views the people other nations who have let it be known they do not want any in terference in their own affairs,

In provisions the outcome varied from the same as yesterday 5 close to 371a cents decline.
 Hears pressed the wheat selling with much more confidence, and there was a great deal of unloading by speculative holders.
 Heavy profit taking sales pulled down corn after the market at the outset had touched the highest prices yet this season.
 Oats weakened in sympathy with corn.
 Provisions underwent a material sag in all the active options. Lower prices on hogs were responsible.

Bird Christmas Trees

Tn of he northern cities a beautiful, idea is being carried out the establishment of Christmas trees for birds. There has been a general assump- ton that birds somehow have way providing for themselves. But they have evidently very hard time of it in the winter. Unlike the squirrel and other boarding creatures they live from hand to mouth or rather from beak stomach.
 The bird Christmas was suggested by T Gilbert Pearson secretary of the National Association Of Audubon Societies who says: Birds forage bravev Tor themselves during the temperate seasons but in severe or ice bound weather they in great num- bers from Weakness brought about by hunger"
 Mir Pearson also takes of the fact that many birds not before now attempt to winter in northern climes and find subsistence as shelter difficult to obtain. The bird Christmas tree IS place where grain and seeds may be placed and

We learn, not with surprise, from the Associated Press, that diplomatic relations with Austria will be severed until the president has written another note and Austria has had time another reply.

According to the dispatch from Christiania, Norway Is the latest of the European countries to recognize tne moral and ethical right of woman to have hand in shaping and con- trolling the affairs of the nation of which she is a citizen. Women voted at the general election yesterday for the first time in the history of that country. In granting the vote to woman, that nation has unQuestiona- bly made a long advance toward prog ress and the realization of the high est order of government It is par ticularly in the older nations that the noticeable, owing to more limited scope of public influence in national affairs than is found in the United States and other countries where the will of the people is the sovereign arbiter of the national destiny. In granting the suffrage right to the
 
 nations of that class are not only lifting womankind from a position oi the most complete subservience to 8 plane of equality with man, but suct action is ultimately bound to result in final freedom from restricted gov ernment through making the full con- trol of national affairs subject to the will of the masses.
 Such a result Is inevite bly bound tC follow the granting of the deciding power to the people, however limited such power, may be in the begin ming Each step forward In this al. rection means that another will follow and each development will result In s broadening of the influence of the masses on public affairs, ultimately leading to full and unrestricted gov ernment by the people. It Is true that such a result would probably follow if the voting franchise were not placed in the hands of the women but it Is most certain that 1t will come about with far greater rapldity If the full voice of the nation Is given expres sion Accepting the fact that the high est and most beneficial form of gov

Strangled by bureaucracy, by op- pressing governmental rules and the lack of intelligent legislation, Alaska s early struggle was for public recog- It's but partially explored riches. In ,his struggle Seattle. led by the Al aska Bureau of it's Chamber of Com merce, lent d hand and by It's assist ance finally brought congress and the national administration to realiza- tion of its plight. Helpful legisla tion has been procured, and the great ter Iritory Is now on the verge of an awak- lening. Public interest has been aroused and men of influence in the east have come, and more are coming, to see the rich wilderness for them selves. Many people are getting a 1 glimpse about Alaska from personal inspection, but an infinitely larger DOT tion of the public Is being served in this respect by the publicity now ac- corded by the press. ..
 Among the recent helpful publicity IS the narrative of John A. Sleicher, editor of Leslie's Weekly, now appear ing in regular installments in that periodical. Mr Sleicher made the round trip from Seattle last summer on the steamship Admiral Watson. He saw Alaska from the viewpoint of trained newspaper man, and a wealth of features crowds his story. With this he lends intimacy to his narrative through the accompany illustrations of the great mountains, the nestling
 illages. the reaches of rock bound aaters and the indigenous life. The author tells the truth about Alaska, which he calls the land of the great est opportunity"
 Mr. Sleicher saw the gold. the noun tains of copper the vast areas of coal deposits, the wealth of salmon, the wilderness of cedar and fir trees, the picturesque, the sublime. the material and the beautiful bewidering wealth of riches, material and ideal, with only a scattering of humanity to enjoy it.
 Something of the authors enthu- siasm is reflected in this excerpt from his story:
 Alaska is the glittering diamond of Americas diadem. Il reveals to the isitor, multiplied one hundred fold, the beautiful Thousand island region of the St. Lawrence, the fiords of Nor way the snow covered Alps and the glacial wonders of Iceland It has the sweetest flowers. the most luxuriant vegetables, the finest grazing and tim

 Publicity like this Is the great need of Alaska. The territory awaits the toil and intelligence of man to mold Its wealth to human purposes When publicity brings these clements to- eether the world will receive its great est message from the north

ernment cannot obtain where the peo-
 pie are without the power to decide all
 matters of the public veal, it is clear that government cannot reach Its
 highest expression. save all the people have an equal voice and this can be
 only when every unit of the nation Is
 on a plane of equality with every other and has an equal opportunity for ex- pression.
 This means that women no less than
 men must be included in the popular sentiment upon which the decisions of the nation are based To argue contrawise Is futile as no government which is based upon the decisions of only part of the people can be no
 more than a government for a part. Such a government cannot be repre- sentative in the full understanding of the term. Women must have the vote and full vote before government can more than approximate the purpose for which 1t Is created and, In granting to women the right to say what shall be the policies under which they are compelled to exist, Norway Is but ac- Iknowledging the Fundamental truth of that idea.
