The economic questions that enter
into the problem Of woman suffrage
are incontestible. The great and ap.
pealing argument for the extension OF
suffrage to women is founded on SIM

qualified women who arc denied the
right to vote as qualified men who are
allowed to vote. Women are equally
interested with men in the problems
that confront the city. State and coun-
try. They are as capable Of forming
just judgments with regard TO civic
affairs as men, They are considered
equal in everything else except the
vote. Why deny equality in this re-

confesses TO the weakness of his sex.

"VOTEs FOR WOMEN

On the branch headquarters OF Inc
suffrage workers, OF this city, which IS
located in a room adjoining that OF rue
snti-suffragists, is a sign Of great per
thence, which reads: If the home
is woman's sphere, what are the antlS
doing here" The anti-suffrasists
have a sign which purports TO answer
the inquiry, but which fails TO do so.
They say they are there 10 keep fem
inism and militaucv out Of the home.
Both terms are relative. It IS alto
gether what one means by femIntsm
and militancy whether. they can be ap-
ulied to the propaganda that has been
conducted by the earnest, selt-sacrl-
ficdng women who have associated
themselves with the cause of suffrage
in this city and State.
The anti-suffragists have no real
answer TO the arguments for woman
suffrage. The raising Of the question
of feminism and militancy are wholly
irrelauye to the plain proposition Of
the right of woman to enjoy equal po-
liticaI privileges with man. There IS
no logic in their contention that null
fancy or feminism are riding into the
home on the back Of woman suffrage.

SKAGWAY AND

Skagway Alaskan, June 2. - The election held in this city yesterday to determine whether or not liquor li- censes should be granted in the City of Skagway voiced the majority opi- niOn that licenses should not be grant ed for the ensuing year.
 One hundred and ninety-three votes were cast by the dys and one hun dred and fifty three cast by the vets Twenty-nine were sealed votes These votes will be counted by the judge. There were also thirteen which were taken, but according to the law of political procedure will uu- doubtedly be thrown out by the judge as they were proxy vtoes.
 At times during the election the scene was almost thrilling, down the street would come a prancing pair of horses, a big sign tackled on the vehicle of conveyance. "Vote Dry and Protect Your Home" it would whirl up to the polling place, out would dart some one rushed to the polling place, the whip would snap on the horses back and up the street pell mell it would go after another vote, resembling a brilliant dash on one of Chicago's crowded thoroughfares at the noon hour.
