John F.. Ballaine. the notorious lobby ist and townsite promoter was in Wash ington. D. C., last winter, working. 1t is said, in the interest of several groups of corporations who are opposed to the government railway being extended to Fairbanks and other interior points.
 There are said to be large transporta- tion and commercial interests III Alaska who maintain an expensive lobby down at Washington for the purpose of side tracking any beneficial legislation to the territory, or any that will affect or allow any competition in the field which they enjoy monopoly of. John F. Bal}aine, we are informed, is one of the repres- entatives of these interests. As a side line he carries a large number of city lots in the town of Seward which he has forgotten to pay the government for and which he expects to receive tribute from. He was at one time promoter ot the Alaska Central Railroad, was the principal person who organized it, was the principal owuer of the stocks, rights franchises, and property. He owned $35O, ,0O0.00 of the preferred stock of said railway company and claimed

The Kind of Fellow
This Town Needs

This town needs a hustling
fellow, young or old, as an ofHc-
ial Civic Booster. He must
have a square jaw bone and a
stiff back bone. He must be q
Go Getter." In the first place
he should form an organization
for fostering civic pride. We
have a good town, but it must
be made better, and the Civic
Booster must be the man to
lead the procession. Have you
ever seen a town with we'll
paved, clean Streets, a good
water-works system, good street
lighting, a fine health record
and an air of prosperity that
wasn't proud of some citizen
who was the prime mover in
every improvement? 1t isn't
going to do us much good to
have the best town in the state
if we don't take our coats off,
get together and work like a
traction engine to keep her so.
The trouble is that most of us
stand back and wait for the
other fellow to take the lead.
Well-the times come! Who's
going to take the lead? Who'll
be the Go Getter? Will you?
The time is ripe for the Go
Getter to step out, shuttle off
his coat and start in. He must
be a man who knows how to do
things. He ought to know how
yards should be kept clean, and
be able to pursuade each owner
or renter to keep HIS own
clean. If each one will keep
his yard clean, we'll have a
clean town. There must be
concerted movement, with the
Go Getter in the lead showing
folks how to do it. Whole
blocks should have nice grass
esplanades, and the grass should
be kept moved. Yards should
blossom with flowers, so
this town will look like q
huge flower garden. Trees
should all be alike in q block,
and set in a straight line.
Property holders, should form
neighborhood clubs, with the
Co. etter telling them how,
and see that the designs and
plans are uniform. When we
swat the Fly" we ought to do
it together. When we oil the
water puddles to keep out the
mosquitoes, there should be an

Des Moines, Ia. For the

week was very favorable for
farm work and the growth of
corn. Most Of the fields have
been cleaned, many of them
having been plowed twice and !,
| a few three times. A few
fields on low, fiat ground are
still wet and weedy, but most

growth. Most small grain is
doing we'll, hut some damal e

ported. Harvest of fall wheat
and rye has begun in the ex-
IRENE southern part of the

ISOLATION, which will be held Decem-
Der 14-19, and at which Dr.. Anna
Howard Shaw will preside, will mus
ter probably a thousand delegates
from every state in the Union. The
national association includes sixty
four affiliated organizations, one of
them being located as far away as
Hawaii.
The program, so far as it has been
announced, indicates an extremely
busy session for the delegates
throughout the entire week, a week
which would appall any one but a
suffragist. 1t includes not only bust
ness sessions in the daytime, but
evening conferences as well. These
conferences will take the place of the
mass meetings open to- the public
which have hitherto always been a
feature of suffrage conventions. One
big mass meeting, and only one, will
be held at Polls Theatre on Sunday,
December 10Th. This change is due
to the tremendous growth Of suffrage
activity and the consequent increase
in the business of the association,
which has made it necessary to al
low the day sessions to be free for
the transaction of business. The con-
ferences, two of which will be held
simultaneously each evening, will be
devoted to a discussion of practical
methods for carrying on the suffrage
work both through federal and state
amendments, and will cover such
topics as publicity, congressional dis
trict organizations, campaign organ
izations and suffrage literature.
All of these meetings will be held
at the Willard Hotel, where the en-
tire tenth floor has been turned over
to the suffragists for the week. This
includes three conference rooms be-
sides the two bathrooms which will be
in constant use.

THE IDEAL STATE PRESIDENT

yet do not belong to the state work.
Our president has that valuable
quality of mind which makes her ex-
ecutive. She selects her chairmen
and her committees because of their
capability, and not because Mrs. B.
would look we'll or has a following.
Having selected her committees, she
expects them to do the work assigned
them, and they usually respond to
the faith that she has in them. 1t
goes without saying that she keeps
in close touch with all that is being
done by those whom it is her duty to
oversee.
She keeps abreast of the thought
of the times and is intelligent re-
garding the continual changes taking
place in the world.
1t then follows that she is Quick to
think, has cultivated mind and the
ability to put her thoughts on paper
in a clear, convincing way, that her
message may go to all whom she
would impress with that message.
She loves her work, and she loves
those over whom she is placed as lead
er. She is one who is not afraid to
give credit wherever due, nor is she
afraid to say the "well-done" to her
co-workers.
To sum up the whole matter, our
ideal president is an all-round WON
anly woman, who occupies her high
position because she believes in SER
vice, and that service involves giving
herself and all her ability in UNI
stinted measure.
Such is my ideal of state presi-
dent. Is 1t yours General Fedora
ton Magazine for November.

The ideal state president would be
represented by composite picture;
one of many fine attributesi, many
strong characters.
She is a leader but not boss. We
have all seen leaders who were such,
by the enforcement of their own DOM
inant wills. We have also seen lead
ers who become powerful because of
their faith in the cause they repre-
scented, and the just and righteous
way in which they presented the
cause.
Our ideal is president who is kind
and gracious of manner, dignified but
not austere. She is tactful and is
capable of inspiring each of her fol-
lowers to do her best. Have you
ever been associated with people who
SEEMED to develop strength within
yku, which you had not realized you
possessed? Our ideal is such a one.
She is one who believes in Fedora
tion and she also knows the needs of
her state and where the spirit of
Federation should be fostered.
She is parliamentarian and can
control her meetings, being fair and
| just to all, for she knows that parlia-
mentary law is for Che benefit of all
and not to assist the few in gaining
their own purposes.
Of the many causes presented for
her consideration, she is able to
choose between those which mean the
welfare of the club life of her state
and those which, right in themselves,
