Youthful but Sufficient Reasons For
SUFFRAGE.

The suffragists of Elizabeth a short
time ago resorted to the ancient fem
mime plan of raising funds by making
and selling cakes. Their sisters of the
opposite party initiated them.
Little Margaret Ogden, aged nine.

her own reasons for the suffrage faith
within her, presented her mother with
the following original essay on sui,
frage:
Suffrage is better than anti naty
ways. One they make more money.
They don't get SO sick as ants. an
other they work harder. another they
don't crow like chickens, another they
make better cake. another they don't
kill people. they work for the yellow

vania at the Panama exposition as its
representative citizen, said, My sue
cess In everything 1 attribute to my
dear wife"
DR.. Brashear's second thought was
the fight of other women for the right
to have a voice as part of the govern
ed in the government.
Considering this he said:
There Is no reason why a woman
should not vote if she wants to.
During the life of my wife l al
ways desired that she should have the
same privilege l was enjoying, and in
November l shall certainly vote so the
wives of other men shall have the
privilege l wished for my own"

Advice to Rebels,

american women will win the vOt'
because their campaign has been pc
lite, dignitied and tactful."
When the barons faced King John
They were civil as could be;
Dotted the crowns they all had on
They were well, they said, and he?
Thus their liberty was won,
Pretty tanners set them free.
When the killed the king,
Their behavior was the same.
Eyes" they said, to draw the sting,
Really, sire. it's a shame!"
For they knew the slightest thing
Rough or rude would lose the game.
Washington was most polite
To the British long ago.
Said he fancied he was right;
But, of course. one couldn't know.
Had he tried to sulk or fight
They'd have thought him simply low.
These examples, ladies, all,
Should control your every act.
Never argue nor recall
ANY crude, unwelcome fact.
Revolutions rise and fall
BY the rebels social tact.

New Jabots,

Is the jabot returning to fashion
in earnest? 1t seems to be. Some
of the smartest neckwear shows this
old~-fashioned, new-fashioned finish.
Sometimes there are two little plated
jabots Of net and lace, one at each
side of a wide, f1aring collar. Some
times a single folded jabot finishes
one of the new nigh collars. The ia
bot is always a smart and pleasing
finish.

A good piece Of garden ground,
rightly planted, rightly tended and

the law into their own hands to OBJ
tam lood in order to force a large
part OF the male population into the

the United States has sent a strong
protest to Gen. Carranza.

The beginning of the work on the Alaska railroad with an chat it means to Alaska is anotaer re- hinder of Aaslas great debt 70 President Wilson. Af ter all is said and done. he above all other men is Naskas grea, benefaotor Far be h from to detract in the slightest from the credit that adue to Senators Chamberlain. and Pittman. and Walsh and Jones. and Representatives both East and West. including Dele gate Wickersham of Alaska and all the others for
 aiding in the passage of the railroad bin through Con- eress but Che fact that the final action which was taken saturday when the word spoken that started busy men hastily work preparing for active railroad construction was foreshadowed and became inevitable from the President Wilson accepted the idea of government railroad for Alaska Between the time that he reached conclusion on the matter and the announcement of his decision route Sat urday President Wilson pulled the Alaska railroad ostou out Of the fire many times. All the time he was the great and powerful force behind the whole proposition
 Credit for the Presidents interest in this matter is due to many men. including Charles G Hener who first suggested it to him before the Inauguration. to Franklin K. Lane who began planning almost from the moment of his induction into office Secretary of the Interior. to Seth Mann who was the Presidents per sonal representative with the Seattle Chamber of Com merce trip through Alaska. to Gov J. F. A.

mo RAILROAD ANN0UNcEMRNT

The railroad announcement by the President Sal uriay was welcome news to Alaskans. While it had been expected for some time that Seward would be the railroad terminus and that the announcement would be made in ,ime for an active season of railroad build ing during Che year isl5 is good to have the whole matter settled Of course the great glory is Seward and the greatest joy over the decision win be at that place and among those interested in it Yet tt should be more than satisfactory those of other towns to have the matter definitely settled and their status known.
 That the railroad will aid all of the towns out to the Westward there can be no doubt and incidentally an os Alaska will share in the profit. Railroad con structon will add to the population of the whole West ward country and with time there will come aecumula tons Of capital there And population and capital will result, in the development Of resources The opportuo tes of the other towns in the vicinity of Seward and other Westward points win be occupied when the peo pie and money are in the country with which to occupy them.
 Further there is always the other opportunity lett to those who feel that they better serve them selves in that way: They can so to Seward and take their Alaska experience and acquaintance with them
 Fairbanks and the great Interior will. Of course be the greatest of all beneficiaries But that was taken for granted because that is what the railroad is be- ing built for No matter where the coast terminus. Fairbanks would be at the other end.
 So au things considered. The Empire. while eN- tending its very heartes nlications to Seward feels disposed to congratulate the whole Westward country and the Panama Valley in particular and all Of Alaska in general
 In the meantime while Juneau will not be direct beneficiary in all ths we have enough to fin our cup of oy ,o overtlowng We have for 1915 the great de- veIopment of the MaskaGastneau under full headway the assurance chat S4oo0O0O will be expended in mak ng the AlasaJuneau one of the worlds greatest mines and preparations in progress for the development of properties both north and south of these.
