CONGRESS AND WOMAN
StTFFRAGE.

At the close of an interesting anc
at timee almost bitter six-hours' de
bate, the lower house of congress
on Tuesday last voted 174 yeas tc
204 nays on a proposition to sub
NIT to the various states a constitu.
tional amendment comforting the
right of suffrage on women. A two
| thirds vote was required to secure
the submission of the proposed
amendment, hence the supporters of
the measure We're Is short of the
252 votes necessary for it's success.
On the 10Th of laR MI ech the
national senate consi ihrred Ne same
proposition, defeatingAat bass yeas
to "a nays. An
The suffragist leaders das by no
means discouraged by what they
regard as only a temporary setback,
and they will continue their fight
with confidence that more favor
able result will be shown when the
issue is again brought to vote in
congress.
Advocates Of the amendment based
their arguments mainly Upon the al
iSso " IAGSpi eau & uEIhdAu #iUI VIZ
man suffrage, it's success in states
where it has been tried, and the
Righteousness of allowing the people
to rule. The opposition argued that
the proposition is an invasion of the
right of the individual states to
control their elections, and that
there is no adequate public demand
for such legislation
Majority Leader Underwood was
among those who opposed the amend
ment, principally on the states rights
issue, while Minority Lea<o Or Mann
declared his willingness ter rerust the
affairs of the nation Ch thsomanage-
ment of its women, nls1 ehsahasized
the fact that the whosa tr{hgd of ci-
vilization is toward a more liberal
distribution of the ballot.
The Louisiana representatives, ex-
cept Mr.. Elder of the fifth district,
who was absent, lined up solidly
against the suffrage amendment on
Tuesday, but even these benighted
ones or their successors in congress
will see the light and learn better
before long. The equality of Wo-
men with men before the laW-and
with gosd men as well as the many
mean ones that are given the privi-
lege of the ballots bound to be
recognized in this free and enlight-
ened country at no distant day.

THE BANK EXAMINER CASE.

District Judge Brunot of Baton
Rouge took evidence and heard argu-
ment last Monday in the Injunction
suit instituted by State Bank Exam
iner W. L. Young with view of
preventing the interruption of his
tenure of office by r. N. Sims, who
mas been commissioned by Governor
Hall to assume charge of the posi-
ton now held by Mr.. Young.
Attorneys for plaintiff sought to
confIne the hearing to the prelimi-
nary question of maintaining the in
Junction. but the judge ordered the
controversy to be gone into on the
merits as. well, and took the matter
under advisement when the trial
had been concluded. A.
1t is the. contention of Gov. Tfe1l
and Mr.. Sims that Mr.. Young became
fllnctus officio on the f5th inst,
which marked the expiration of his
term of four years, calculating it
to have begun Jan. 5, 1911, the date
on which he qualified and assumed
the duties, powers and emoluments
of the office
Mr.. Young's claim is that his term
did not properly begin until his ap-
pointment was confin-ed by the SEN
ate in June, 1912, and that there
viii therefore be- no vacancy in his
office until June, 1916. According to
this line of reasoning the four-year
term of the incumbent will be
stretched into five years and six
months, thus giving him. eighteen
months for lagniappe. We shall be
surprised if either Judge Brunot or
the supreme Gourt sanctions such
an Interpretation of the laws Ian
guage or intent.

Fire on Riverside plantation.

The corn crib on C. H. Landry's S
riverside plantation below Donald.
sonville was destroyed by fire at
about o'clock Wednesday aasernoon
together with approximately $3.50
barrels of corn and 100 sacks of
bran which We're stored in the build
Ing. An adjoining structure contain
ing corn crusher and mill became
lgnlted and was also entirely con-
sumed, the total loss being estimated
at $4,000, with no insurance. It is
not known definitely how the flames
originated, but the supposition is
that they Were started by children
who had been playing in the corn
crib during the day, and who may
have dropped a match on the floor
or started a blaze in play which they
failed to extinguish.

A1AsKAs CLIMATE IMPROVES.
Steward Gatewayl


 Without doubt the climate of Alaska has changed for the better within seventeen years All people seem Co think so who have here for that period After making every allowance for the possibility that the sup posed change may only have been due to our becoming accustomed to the conditions there is still every reason to believe that the climate of Alaska actually is un- dergong a change This is nothing supernatural It has been gradually dawning the minds of laymen in the Territory for years and scientists have given voice to the same opinion
 A remarkable thing in this connecton is that Ann undsen the explorer said the currents were changing in such manner that the climate to the north Alaska ih undergoing constant change for the better. He even said that the ice in the northwest passage was flowing steadily towards the Atlantic and would soon empty itself into that This state ment was made before the Titanic disaster and it is quite possible that the great vessels destruction was due extraordinary ice flows into the Atlantic from that passage Amundsen said those things while he was Nome after his trip and wrote them afterwards in outside magazine so there is reason at all why residents of the Territory should doubt the results of their observations. That the climate of Alas ka is becoming milder seems. indeed to be positive fact It tropical country before, remember and, hang 1t, it is pretty tropical right now.

AalEnlcAs CONTROVERSY WITH ENGLAND.

Great Britains position in her controversy with the United States is not that the United States has no right to complain because she is making money out of the sale of war munitions She has not criticised the Unit. ed States for that at an She does attempt slap Che United States in the face" nor to characterize Americans as "traffcking Yankeees." whose interest in the war is confined to profits She says that under the rules of international law our interest in the freight cargoes that have been deneced from their intended destination is measurable in dollars and cents and that when sine offers to make good monetary damages and does make them good. We have right to complain.
 President Wilson has taken the position that inter- ference with the rights American citizens have to ship noncontraband to Germany and to ship anything that we may desire to neutral nations cannot be measured in dollars and cents
 Great Britain has admitted that she has violated rights of Americans-but insists that the violation con- sists Of monetary damages which she offers to make good It is practically the same principle that was yoived in the Frye case in which Germany offers to pay the damages. England claims that the Amer.can lawful interest in cargo to see that the American who sells it gets pay for his cargo and suffers no oss and tha, there is further wrong done is not to the American shipper but to the foreign purchaser Grey cites American supreme court decision to sustain his position.
