SORROW, NOT SHOCK

 So repete are these days with "aarms and ex- cursons" that almost we have passed beyond amaze ment, and linen walking like trees" surprise us
 
 An English writer describes the the great est world event since the flood, and remarks pathetic ally that people beginning to accept the war al most as matter of course thus intimating that the magnitude of operations deserves better attention, that our hair should remain end from day to day and that our nights should be harried with mental confusion aniI dsquietude.
 He might have continued at length and pointed out that the flood from the newspaper point of view, is inferior the war; since the most sensational re- ports would have enjoyed but limited circulation and as for the real "inside" news Noah had it al

THE MEAN THINGS

From the meager returns of yesterdays elections In the eastern states one is lead to the belief that the menfolks back there awful lot that they must he sour at their womenfoks or something; to refuse them equal suffrage It looks very much as though the men didn't think that their women had brains enough to know what they wanted Or is it that they fear if the women are ever granted that wmch oeioe to them-the right to vote like the men-they will lose their grug the privilege of playing dirty poll tics.
 And yet you those very men pass laws grant ing the right to vote to any foreigners who may ap- ply As though those foreigners were better fitted by ignorance-to help them to pass laws to govern their women Verify it is to be regretted that men of presumably fair intelligence woull stoop so low as to refuse the right to women to vote. We say the "rght because it is their right Are they not citizens like their husbands, fathers brothers? Is It not a fact that no law prevent them from acquiring citizinships the fathers become citizens? Then why this distinction? Why admit that the women be- come citizens the time that their parents do, and then deny them the right to exercise their citizen ship privileges? This is all poppycock If the women had the muscular strength of the they would soon get their right But the trouble is they are weak, which makes them beggars.
 The women may lack in knowledge politically but u least they have the courage of their convictions and that is demand their rights, and every man whose mind is not warped should give way to an inherent right, to a child.
 It's question in mind whether the women are not entitled by right and justice to vote Constitution or no constitution "We were not born to be slaves D is true old saying but if deprive class of cit zens privlige that claim for ourselves, we see a

HE DESERVES A MEDAL

Ever since the eminient editor of the Lesies Weekly returned from his visit to Alaska serles of articles have appeared in that splendid magazine in which the editors observation, acquired on the trip he took throughout Alaska this last summer, is set forth in "plan truth" as he expresses himself In the closing article he says Tt is hoped that the public will to appreciate the vastness of Alas ka it's undeveoped wealth and its extraordinary pos abilities as our farthemost possession stretching into the west and north"
 Those articles which are bound to be read exten- sivelv coming from a man possessed of unusual ability to tell the truth will have far reaching et- feet on the future development of northand that much must be conceded by all Let few more such men come around and visit us, and providing they tell the truth Alaska will be known for what 1t is, and not for what those dreamers have represented it to be- "frozen land" The eminent editor deserves a gold medal.
