for wagon roads. Judge Wickersham is vigorously working for the appro- priation and it seems certain to pass.
 4e law for leasing the oil lands in Alaska, as we'll as in the states, passed the house and has been report ed favorably by the senate committee on public lands. It seems likely to pass. This is a very important meas ure for Alaska. The same bill as it passed the house contained a section for leasing of coal lands and was much more favorable than the exist ing coal land leasing law in AlasNS, but the senate committee struck the coal-leasing section out. It did not apply to Alaska coal lands, anyway as Alaska already has a leasing law.
 The regulations for leasing Alaska coal lands are said to be ready for issue and only await the secretary's signature. On the whole, things look very favorable for Alaska at Wash ington.

IF WOMEN GET VOTE AFTER
 WAR, THEY WILL RULE
By CHARLES P. STEWART

By CHARLES P. STEWART Special to Gateway by United Press)
 LONDON, April 1S.-WOmen will have a great deal to say about run ming England after the war. If they get the vote they will rule England's electorate, as there were 1,OOO,OOO. more British women than men before the war.
 The sufragettes abandoned mili- taut tactics when fighting began with the Germans, but they have been con- ducting an educational campaign ever. since.
 Its keynote has been the thorough advertisement of the extent to which women have taken the places of the men at the front. Since women can do mems work, the sufTragettes argue, why wern't they entitled to the fran chise on the same footing with men?
 There is no theory about this propO- sitiou. It is practical. The women actually are doing work it used to be taken for granted only men satisfact- orily could do. In a good many in- stances, it is conceded, they are doing it better then the men did. The cOun- try, too, is mighty glad to get them It is begging for their help.
 MuuitiOu making is largely in wOm- ems hands. Women are rapidly talk ing over the positions of the men street car and bus conductors.
 Women are running elevators. Women are acting as ticket senero and choppers.
 A women's army is being recruited to do England's farming. Women clerks are behind the counters of the retail stores of all kinds.
 Women chaufFeurs are numerous. Women run delivery wagons.
 Women are doing all sorts of cleri- cal work in banks, wholesale houses, insurance offices and counting rooms generally.
The Seward gateway., 1916-04-22

This drafting of women has been far more general on the European continent than in England. On the continent, however, there has been no such corresponding effort on tho wOm- ems part to get value received for their wartime help, in the form of subsequent political concessions.
 After all women have done during the war, it is hard to see how Eng land can refuse what they demand later. At any rate, it is a safe con clusion that they will get respectful hearing when they present their claims next time, instead of the con temptuous dismissal which their ef- forts met before the great European struggle.
 Comment by the new women work CTS, too, shows that sufTragette rep resentatiOns are making an impress sion on the rank and file.
 The next demand, consequently, will be no mere diletante movement. In- stead, it will come from the women who have done as much as any man in the field to aid the country in an emergency, whose services and sacri- fees already have been publicly recognized and who can speak, and act, with a genuine determination never hitherto characteristic of suf- fragetteism in England.
 If they fail to get what they want, it will be surprising. Should they get it, England will be ruled, electOrally, by women.
 Census figures show that, before the war, there were about 100000 more women than men in the British Isles.
 After the war, between the losses of men in the field and the expected heavy emigration, which will be large ly of young, unmarried men, the dis proportion will be still larger-per- haps another 100000.
The Seward gateway., 1916-04-22

Lane and Commissioner Edes were before the committee and under stand the committee was apparently favorable to granting the full amoun' asked for.
 "It was feared the committee might want to reduce the item by the amount of the S2,OOO,OOO emergency appropriation which was passed some time ago. If this item gets through, it will make a total of S1O,24TOOO for railroad building and will enable the work to be carried on vigorously
 Another good thing for Alaska is tba, the secretary of war, on the ad- vice of Col Richardson, has recom- mended an additional appropriation of S5OO.OOO for wagon road work. This with the Sl5O.OOO carried in the regu- lar military bill, will give S65O,OOO
