TIE question Of Woman Suffrage Is looming up
more largely each recurring season, and men who
heretofore took the subject as a joke, now are i'm
pressed with the arguments and are respectfully
listening to the earnest women who are demanding
their rights from the men. One quarter Of the
states haverecognized the right Of women to vote,
and the question of amending the constitution will
certainly be put up to the states by the United
States Congress. It is right, and for that reason
Woman Suffrage will win. It is fair in principle
and on moral grounds it is unassailable.

THE danger from infantile paralysis has been
brought home to the people Of Delaware in strik-
ing manner by the quarantine which has been es-
tablished by the states Of Pennsylvania New Jer-
sey and Maryland. Children under sixteen years
are now prohibited to go from Delaware or come
into Delaware from any Of the above named states.
unless they have with them certificate from the
State Board Of Health, that they have not been
exposed to infantle paralysis or that they are not
inoeuated with the germs at the time of travelling
on either the boats or railroad trains. The State
Of Pennsylvania is preparing to stop automobiles
coming from New York or other states quaran-
tined against. The safest plan is to keep your
children home, and keep them clean and in healthy
condition. The schools will not be opened in New
York until October, and the other states are con-
sidering the school question from the point Of
safety. While the disease affects children princ-
pally. yet there are many cases of grown people
having contracted the disease and died from it,
Help keep the dreaded disease from your own
home by watching the health of your children
and keeping them from exposure.
Milford chronicle., 1916-08-18

THE local Board of Health is concerned about
keeping the Town of Milford free from nfantile
paralysis, and one of the danger sources viii be
the importation Of help for the canneries A close
guard Of the health Of those who come to Delaware
will be maintained by the State Board Of Health,
but the local boards in the various towns must
take steps to guard each spot Stop all children
from coming will be all right but the parents may
be exposed to the disease and it is better to be
safe than tolerant Of the interests Of the Gamers
or even the farmers. Guard well the children Of
Delaware is now the duty Of the Board Of Health.

The railroad employees are on the verge Of a
general strike, and a tying up Of the business Of
the entire country. as a means to gain their per-
aoDai demands upon the railroad companies We
have desire to espouse the cause Of either side
in the question involved but the public" is and
always viii be the goat to shoulder the loss and
Inconvenience which results from these disturb
ances. To stop railroad traffic means direct
money loss to the farmers and fruit growers by
loss Of a crop which can not be marketed. Itmeans
the discomfort Of women and children in the cities
by stopping Of milk. vegetable and eatable sup
plies as well as fuel. which is used in so many
forms to maintain life and comfort Of all the peo
pie. II general stoppaee Of trains results from
this demand then if it is possible, the people of
the towns and cities should see to it that the fam
lies Of the men directly responsible for the strike
shall be the first made to feel the pangs Of want
and hunger. Refuse to let them have the share Of
supplies available to feed the people, which they
would absorb that is the fair way to put it up to
those who are the cause for the strikes. The whole
question is nearing the point where federal con-
troll Of all pubic service such as railroads. tele-
phones telesraphs and general traffic will have to
be inaugurated. The United States is nearing a
period where great upheaval will result from the
constant agitation Of labor and public service.
The Republican primary elections in Delaware
viii be held tomorrow to elect delegates to attend
the State Convention at Dover next Tuesday, who
are to make out a State ticket for Republicans to
support at The general elections. and these pri-
maries win end the bitter contest which has been
waged to name the nominee for the United States
Senatorship or. it should end the bitter campaign
which has been waged IN an parts Of the State. It
win be the duty Of the delegates chosen tomorrow
% nominate a man the whole party and on Of the
people Of Delaware will respect and support at the
polls. There has been too much bitterness dis
closed for the forcing upon the ticket Of any man
identified with either Of the du Pout factions, and
there ia no man sufficiently well known to an the
people who would draw spontaneous support OF
his nomination for the y. S. Senatorship, other
than Chief Justice Pennewill Of Dover. It Is the
duty Of TIE Republican Party to name o man who
can and win be elected without doubt. for thep
pie Of the United States win need Senator from
Delaware as never before in the next six years.
All the people know The Chief Justice and respect

THE terrible loss of life which is following the
epidemic Of infantile paralysis now spread over
the states New York, New Jersey and Pennsylva-
mia. must be taken seriously by everybody in the
states Of Delaware and Maryland especially. The
quarantine against children going or coming into
any Of these states is meant for the protection Of
all the people Of sections where the disease has
not reached, as well as for those where it is cpl.
demic All people must cease from mingling with
the people where the disease is known to be. and
il will be well for vacations to be taken to points
nearby the home. and where no disease is suspici-
oned. The running Of excursions to points in in
feeted states should be stopped, and those who
went from Philadelphia to New York on an excur-
sion last Sunday were prohibited from returning
to their homes by the health authorities and they
viii not be likely to repeat the trip again while the
disease exists. Stay at home in Delaware with
your children, and have them escape the disease
and possibly save their life

 The best timbered areas are con fined to southeastern Alaska where there is a large supply of wood suita ble for pulp. the manufacture of which promises In the near future to become an important industry. Water power Is abundant, and is an important factor In the treatment of the low grade ores of the southeastern section, besides furnishing electric lower for industrial and other purposes. With the further development of water power the man ufacture of electro chemical products will without doubt, soon be an i'm, portant Alaskan industry.
 The vast possibilities of Alaska in dustrially. agriculturally and commer- cially have been only briefly outlined here, but enopgh has been said to justify the prediction that within the decade the potential greatness of this territory as producer of natural wealth will have been 80 nlmly estab- lished as to dispel the last lingering doubt of those who have assumed the expressed or implied attitude of scof- fers when Alaska has been under discussion.
 There are sixteen incorporated towns in the territory Five of the towns did not make an assessment Of taxable property or levy a tax for the calendar year 1914. Three of these towns did not levy 8 tax in 1913. and one or two have never done SO r. these cases the municipal expenses are defrayed exclusively from the funds collected from the local liquor and other trade and occupation IT, censes. these moneys being paid to the clerks of the district courts and by them turned over to the treasurers of the towns, as provided by law.
 Reports received from the II incor- porated towns which caused an assess ment of property to be made and a tax to be levied in 1914 show a total assessed valuation of $12,546.494. The tax rate of these eleven towns ranged from six tenths of per cent to per cent the average being 1.2s per cent.
 Ten of the incorporated towns caused an assessment of property to be made and a tax to be levied to 1918, the total valuation being about $9,- TOTS and the average rate of taxa ton 1.53 per cent.

The 1915 report of Governor J. F. A. Strong or Alaska, to President Will son, treats on every part of Alaska Under the caption. What of Alaska's 8 Future?" he says:

It is a greatly su- perior land, in point of fact, to the one of ancient times, but the milk" must be sought out and the "honey" carefully gathered. It Is but tru ism to say that Alaska and It's re- sources have been consistently and in sistently misrepresented since It's pur- chace from Russia. It has taken many years of patient effort to con vince people elsewhere that Alaska Is really a land of promise. In the early days of the territory the few people who visited 1t as tourists gained thei' impressions of tha country frola the deck of steamship and wrote anG talked accordingly. They were look ing for the grotesque and bizarre; fol glaciers and icebergs, polar bears ani totem poles, and the fur clad Esklmos hence their motifs covered these snd little more.

TRAGIC STORY OF THE
 MAD RUSH FOR GOLD

Under the above title, Arthur A. Dietx. of Los Angeles, has given to the world plain, straightforwara narrative of early adventure and fear full hardship In Alaska, by the side of which the widest flights of Arctic fiction become tame.
 The author Is widely known in this city a the director of Its play ground department and as former physical director of the Y. NJ. c. A, in New York and other places. It was while living in New York. in 1897, that the lure of the klondike bit him. and he organized a party of eighteen. includ- ing himself. to engage in what he just ly termed mad rush for gold."
 Not one of the party was in the least fitted by experience for the adventure, which soon developed into as crazy an undertaking as the human mind ever conceived. Quitting at Seattle, where they loaded up with mass of stuff mostly useless, the party chartered q rotten old bark to take them north. After narrowly escaping shipwreck, they landed at an Eskimo village, se cured alleged guides and started to cross the arms of the great Malaspins glacier. believing that by that route they could reach Disenchantment bay.
The Nome daily nugget., 1916-02-18

The rest of the story is tragic. Crossing the glacier. every now and then one of the party with his dogs and sled, would drop into a bottom less crevasse and be seen no more The long Arctic night of seven months was at hand and the glacier was bare. ly passed when all haste had to be made to prepare winter quarters. A log house was built, fuel stacked up and a dark future faced with what courage was possible. With the com Ing of daylight again. everybody start ed digging and banning for gold, with out result. Then, realizing that they were lost In the trackless waste of the frozen north the remnant of the party trekked westward, hoping to strike a settlement. They did find an Indian village and there secured some relief. Finally they mushed on until they reached the shores of the Pacific Building a huge fire of driftwood on the beach they attracted the attention of the revenue cutter Wolcott, the crew of which came ashore and rescued the four urvivors. all that were ietf of the eighteen sanguine gold hunters who had started from New York two years before.--Los Angeles Examiner.

The fear that rural credit legislation II
about to be sidetracked because Of the
slow progress Congress 10 making on

tho House late yesterday by Congress-
man Dick T. Morgan Of Oklahoma.
Mr.. Morgan complained that nearly
one half tho session IL passed and the
Committee on Banking and Currency
has not reported q rural credit bill He
urged friends Of rural credit legislation
to rally to It's support and prevent its
defeat through lack OF consideration.
1T has now been nearly two years
since the Banking and Currency Conn
mlttee received the report Of the Joint
commission that went abroad to study
rural credits" raid Mr.. Morgan. but 20
far. neither In the Sixty-third nor
Slxty-fourth Congress has the commit
tee reported ill to the House,
Ny object r. not to criticise the
COMMITTEES, but TO sound an alarm and
secure action at the earliest possible
date. The delay has already been 80
great as TO place rural credit leslsla-
ton in jeopardy at this session. VAL
