The historic Lucky" Baldwin build. ing in Nome was blown down during the wind storm which ragged there dur iug the first week in December last. The building was erected in the fall of 1899. All that saved Nome from again experiencing the ravages of the ocean was barrier of ice which lined the waterfront and kept the waves from reaching the city.

Reindeer as CiviIizers

In twenty years the reindeer industry has made the Eskimos of Alaska civil ized and thrifty meu, says the United States bureau of education in a recent bulletin.
 The reindeer industry began in Alas ka in 1892, when the bureau of educa- tion imported from Siberia I'll reindeer. The object of the importation, accord ing to the bulletin, was to furnish a source of supply for food and clothing to the Eskimos in the vicinity of Boring strait. This importation was continued until 1902, and total of 1,28O reindeer
Douglas Island news., 1915-02-10

were brought from Siberia. There are now 7,266 reindeer distributed among @ herds, and 3O532 of these are owned by the natives.
 This industry has given to the Alas kan Eskimos not only food and cloth inQ, but means of transportation su. perior to dog teams. Instead of being nomadic hunters eking out precarious existence on the vast untim bered lands of the Arctic coast region, "the Eski' mos," according to the bureaus bulle. tin, "now have assured support and opportunity 10 acquire wealth by the sale of meat and skins to the white men,"
 The reindeer industry is carefully guarded. "No native is permitted to sell or otherwise dispose of female reindeer to any other person than 8 native of Alaska." This is done, the bulletin states, Hest white men deprive the natives of their reindeer and de- stroy the great native industry which the bureau of education has in the last 20 years built up and fostered."
 The reindeer service is an integral part of the educational system of the bureau of education for Northern and Western Alaska The district superin- tendents of schools are also superin- tendents of the reindeer service.
 Promising and ambitious young na- tives are selected by superintendents as apprentices in the reindeer service, receiving six, eight or ten reindeer at the close of the first, second and third years, respectively, and ten more at the close of the fourth year. Upon the sat. isfactory termination of his apprentice ship, the native becomes a berder and assumes entire charge of herd.

THE woman question to-day is

She is holding up her hand, and she is
not asking for the vote as a privilege,
but demanding it as duty"
Then Mr.. Debs talked socialism. He
denounced child labor and said it would
disappear if socialism were in power
and women had the vote. Debs char

u IKE Rraybeards ana woman
who dared lift her veil this is
the dramatic setting for the most far
reaching revolution Of modern times.
When Nine Assad Ullah. noble lady.
forced herself to appear before an as
semblage Of strange men and with spir-
tied dignity threw off her veil. she
startled Persian women into their re-
volt for freedom.
And now that woman. on protracted
visit to America. pays the American
women the highest tribute that can
come from a woman Of one nation to
those Of another.
81 have come 70 you in America"
she said "to breathe in your spirit Of
freedom, so that it may become part
OF me, to be difused among my coun-
trywomen when / return.
Il wish to give through you n mes
sage 10 the women of America. They
are the greatest women in the world
and their nation is the greatest. for
there 1t is that freedom has reached
its highest point.
And we women of Persia make our
plea TO you. East and West, we are
all the same. with the same desires and
the same hearts But we need YOU.
We have been women in cages Some
Of us have wanted to fly, but have not
been able. And the rest Of US have
been locked in the dark for so long
that we have not even the desire to fly.
"You American women it must b.
who must continue your spendid fight.
and by your beautiful example aid the
women Of Persia to attain to their free
dom"
And yet, on the contrary, il is Nine.
Assad Ullah who is the greatest in
spiration TO many American women.
What can the women OF America do
to be worthy Of the splendid example
which this one woman in Persia set for
them" Her answer is: Continue
TO be the inspiration for Persia that
you always have been"
Somehow, into the ciose-sealed ears
Of the Persian lady had crept, little by
little. rumor Of the beautiful freedom
Of the sister Of the West Somehow,
guarded, taught only what was right
for lady to be taught, protected from
strange eyes, and forbidden any con-
verse with strange men. these women
came TO know freedom as their religion
and dreamed of it.

doctrines side by side with the men.
Women will preach love and toll

with love and universal tolerance. Then

Nine. Ul,ah's soft voice ceased. and
the old sage, her husband, nodded his
head in quiet approval, while the Amer
lean bred son and his American wife
looked with Oriental Difference at their
parents. whose word has been law to
their lives.

Hackensack, \. j., oct. 1.-THE
question Of woman suffrage entered two
Hackensack pulpits for the first time in
the campaign this morning, crowding
the Unitarian Church and the Meth
odist Church with women. The Rev.
Arthur Singsen told his Unitarian con-
gregation that he believed in woman
suffrage. The Rev Staley T. Davis, the
Methodist pastor, spoke on "Shall We
Let the Women Help; Does Justice
Demand IT."
The theatre at Rutherford was crowd
ed this afternoon when Rabbi Wise. OF
New York, addressed a suffrage rally.
Last night DR.. Katharine 3. Davis

American Women Are the Greatest Women
and Their Nation the Greatest Nation,
SAYS Nnne Assad Ullah.
\ Persian NOblewOmam Casts
Aside Her Veil as the First
Step ON the Road TO Free
dom. Which Leads Her
to the New World.

"But only dreamed Of IT," complained
little Nine Assad Ullah. folding her
hands across her plump little person.
She was clad in q loose purple robe
and underneath The scarf about her
head was a black turban. "They only
dreamed OF IT, And nobody dared
or even thought Of practising il. The
first step is always the impossible one.
But there were many OF us who felt
that woman should not be as she had
been"
And when Nine Ullah, pleading for
the life Of her brother. threw herself
at the mercy Of her government and
lifted the Stacking veil. she was
ostracized by her friends for doing the
thing which thcy had commended. and
were afraid Of now that i; had come to
pass.
But even this did not embitter her
She went step further and allowed
her son, educated in America. to marry
IN American woman. and she was the
first woman who allowed her daughter
to marry a foreigner. Her daughter is
the wife of Professor Sydney Sprague,
an American.
This is a drastic step in caste bound
Persia, but it Is for that very reason
that she favored these marriages, and
dares to encourage the growth OF the
custom.
THAT is part Of freedom. just ms suf-
frage for women is an expression Of
freedom. 1t is the same desire which
makes women aspire to show their
equality with men that will in the end
make possible universal peace For the
basis of all is freedom freedom from
the artificial bounds between sexes, be-
tween nationalites. between races. re-
ligions and thought.
at is women who must do the first
great work of notwithstanding the
world, demonstrating that all are
brothers and sisters, to be loved for
what they are and regardless Of ex-
terror differences historical"
Nine. Assad Ullah's low voice rose
and fell with all the cadence of beauti-
full poetry. 1t was in the sitting room
of the Hotel McAlpin that she spoke her
creed of love. in Persian, and looked to
her son, with his piercing eyes and doc
tors black beard, to translate her
words. As he spoke she followed his
words and her light hazel eyes glowed
with understanding and the desire to
infuse herself into the English words.
