man Suffrage.
| don't believe that women should
vote. The writers from Wolf Run anG
Huffman could not say that the
mems votes could be bought for Q
Jews harp and if it should be possible
that women should vote they woulc
have to pay head tax the same as
the man.
And if the women should get tc
voting, the taxes would get so high
that if this little continent should
drop down into the new Jerusalem
the farmers would have to dig up the
gold paved streets and lay a tariff
on the harps Of the angels to pay
their taxes.
If woman wants to learn any
thing let them learn it of their .hus-
band at home. ] heard young wo

JONAH AND THE WHALE
written by r. M. Ryan,

tWTltteu Dy II. M. hydn.J
In the Bible we are told of a
prophet that was called
To a city that was stepped in aw-
full sin;
All the people in that place were
devoid Of saving grace
And the prophet seemed afraid to
enter in.
Chorus.
Over there, over there in that land
so bright and fair
Oh he'll tell me all about it over
there
On the halleluah stand, I'll take
Jonah by the hand
And He'll tell me all about it over
there.
Then this prophet fourth was sent,
that Old Minervah might repent
But instead of that to Tarnish he
set sail.
And the wind began to blow, and
overheard did Jonah go
And ne found a mercy seat inside
the whale
In the cold and briny deep, tears
Of grief did Jonah weep;
And the big fish threw him out
upon the shore.
Then he gladly went his way,
preached to Minerva night and day
And he din't care to backslide any
more.
Oh some people don't believe that
whale could him receive
But that doesn't make my song at
all untrue.
There are whales on every side,
with their big mouths open wide
Just take care my friend or one
will swallow you.
Many souls are tossed about, by
the whales of fear and doubt,
But my Saviour wants to take
them by the hand.
If they will his voice obey, he will
save them right away
And will guide them safely to the
promised land.

I'll agree with the Sunny Side
Farm correspondent on Women Suf-
frage. While there might be some
women in some places that would sell
their votes but they are not around
here. The men will sell their votes
and buy whiskey and get drunk. |
am sure the women would not sell
their votes and buy whiskey for they
have better judgement. noticed that
one Of the correspondents said give
women the ballot and they would be
off with some other man before cleo
ton day was over there is not one
third as many women leaves their
men, as there is men leaves their
women. One half of the men that
leave their women have no just cause
for it. The majority of women would
vote if they had chance. | hope
to see the amendment carry that all
may have equal rights in West Vir-
ginia.

If your children are languid, tired

EMPLOYMENT FOR
 ALASKANS uRGED


 E. s. Hewitt In charge of the L' c. Smith and Brothers Typewriter Company agency at Juneau has be- gun a movement to secure employ ment for stenographers and bookkeep- CTS who are in Alaska and to discour- oee others from coming North. Mir. Hewitt has written 8 circular letter to business men throughout south eastern aud Southwestern Alaska ad' vislng them that his agency is pre- pared to furnish responsible steno- graphers for whose competence and reliability 1t is ready to stand re- sponsible. and urging them when in need of that character of assistance Co give employment to those who are In Alaska instead of sending to the Outside for them
 Mir Hewitt. In his letter says.
 "The employment department of this office Is receiving with almost every mail applications for employ ment from competent stenographers and bookkccpers. Also many who have come to Alaska without work or promise of same have called at our office asking for assistance in secur' ing positions.
 "This office stands ready to take the responsibility and do its share Of the work in securing positions for those already here as well as to dis courage persons without means in coming to Alaska until such time as business and labor conditions war rant importation os this class of help
 oWe need your cooperation in se- curing employment for these people and doubtless our assistance to you in securing good competent office help will be valuable to you.
 Discussing the movement that he has started. Mir. Hewitt says
 "There are a lot of stenographers in Alaska. both men and women, but particularly women, who have been attracted to the country by the pub ncity that It is receiving who are without work They came here at an expense to themselves, and many or them are running short of funds. it is important to them that they secure work. and they should be provided with 1t wherever that is possiolt
 Until those who are here now seeking work have employment, oth- CTS in that line should be discouraged rom coming North, and the best way to discourage them is to employ those that we have here first.
 "Juneau now has an oyer-supply Of stenographers, and many of them are sorely in need of employment
 MT. Hewitt is making no charge for the services that he is. s.oforlng to rem der in securing work for Alaska stenographers.
